BUILDER PROFILE
Huneke Homes has an excellent reputation. After eight years, six subdivisions and several
custom homes our reputation still stands strong. A little history as to where we came from
and how we have become part of the home building industry is as follows.
The majority of Tom & Julia Huneke's careers were spent in other industries. Julia as an
international bond trader and Tom was an sales engineer for an international firm that handled
roof wood trusses in North America, including Canada as well as other countries. They
decided to settle down in St. Louis and start their own building company. This enabled
them to set the standards and build homes according to their specifications. By doing so,
they could use such things as brick and stone fronts and offer elevations that
customers love.
"Build it and they will come," said Tom. "We will build houses as if we would live in them.
We want to treat customers with care and politeness. Always trying to give the customer what
he wants. We always allow changes during the construction process.
Why not, the customer appreciates it and Huneke Homes upsells. It is a win/win."
The reason Huneke Homes offers a different product is because of the vast experience and
exposure of Tom and Julia. Tom has a keen eye for old country architecture. When we say
old country, we are talking about Europe - steep gables, swoops, homes with several
elevation changes, multiple colors on the front, etc.
As far as how they run their business, the construction industry is not dissimilar from others.
"A business should be modeled after service, style, class, cash flow, integrity and honesty.
It doesn't matter what the product is or the source of income, it's the way the business
is run - That is what is important."
Tom does the CADD work and seals the prints, Julia does the Start Sheets as well as customer
follow ups and company financing.
Both Tom and Julia are anxious to show each new customer their unique approach to home building.

Huneke Homes has an excellent reputation. After five years, six subdivisions and several custom homes our
reputation still stands strong.
A little history as to where we came from and how we have become part of the home building
industry is as follows.
The majority of Tom and Julia's careers where spent in other industries. Julia was an
international bond trader.
She found herself in a demanding financial business that sent her to New York and Canada routinely.
Tom was an engineer for an international firm that does roof truss computer programming and
engineering for wood trusses used in
about 1/4 of all the residential, 1/2 of all the agricultural and about 1/10 of all the
commercial roofs in
North America including Canada as well as other countries. Tom's Professional Engineering
license as
well as his vast experience
sent him to customer's boardrooms across the world. His knowledge is now used designing your
new home.
Tom and Julia ended their jet set traveling careers and settled down to a Saint Louis
based business.
They decided to start their own business. Fortunately they had the funds to purchase an entire
subdivision and therefore set the standards and build according to their specifications.
By doing so, they could use brick and stone fronts and offer elevations that customers love.
"Build it and they will come" said Tom.
"We will build houses as if we would live in them. Treat customers with care and politeness."
Tom and Julia did not know how other builders handled their customers or the business.
They just knew that
they wanted to do it their way.
"Give a customer a home that we would give to our own mother. We always allow changes
during the construction process. Why not, the customer appreciates it and Huneke homes upsells."
