Founded in 1958 by the late Charlie Kornman, Sunrise Homes was born out of modest family resources — but no matter how much success the company has seen over the years, its employees today still honor the founder’s vision to “always provide the best possible housing value” to families in southeast Louisiana and Mississippi. Families have always been, and always will be, at the heart of what Sunrise Homes does. More than 10,000 homes later, Sunrise Homes is still family-owned and family-focused. In fact, the company builds homes for many third-generation Sunrise homeowner families today. Not only that, Sunrise Homes has worked with the same subcontractors for 30 years, and many employees who have been with the company for over 25 years even live in their own Sunrise homes. Today, the vision is still forward-thinking, and high-quality homes at affordable prices remain the company’s promise. By embodying the same values that it did six decades ago, from livability and community to knowledge and quality, Sunrise Homes has perfected its promise to every homeowner it works with, allowing them to experience the difference time and time again. When buyers work with Sunrise Homes, they know they won’t only get the highest-quality home, but the highest-quality care too. Compassion is what the company was founded on, and what its leader wanted most for the future of Sunrise Homes. For over 60 years, Sunrise Homes has adapted to changing times, but much endures at its core. Still a closely held private company, in many respects Sunrise is an extended family. Larry Kornman’s open-door policy invites anyone to walk down the hall and visit. Off-the-cuff birthday celebrations, annual company crawfish boils, and holiday parties are intended to make Sunrise both a place to do good work and a place of lasting friendships. The vision is always forward. High-quality homes at affordable prices remain the ultimate goal. Sunrise Homes is continuing to set the tone for the housing industry by perfecting the design and construction of a wide selection of livable homes. Sunrise is proud to showcase a variety of decorated models to help homebuyers visualize themselves and their families enjoying the comforts and quality of a new Sunrise home.
