About AR Homes Franchise
Art Rutenberg began homebuilding in 1953 and, from the very beginning, was an industry pioneer. His ideas were simple, yet revolutionary: deliver innovative, original home designs of exceptional quality, all while providing a pleasant buying experience.
These ideals helped his company grow to become the largest network of franchise custom home builders in the country. They also led to his induction into the Housing Hall of Fame, among many incredible career milestones.
Today, they serve as the foundation of our company, and we honor Art’s legacy with a continued focus on customer experience. We strive to bring new innovative home designs to life with the finest materials, craftsmanship, and techniques available, treating each client’s vision as our ultimate inspiration.

With over 40 years of experience, AR Homes® Franchising is the only franchise opportunity in the world that gives you the foundation to own and operate a proven custom homebuilding business model. You can profit from selling, designing, and building award-winning luxury homes from the ground up.
While our business has evolved over the years, at AR Homes® we still believe that for our franchisees and their clients alike, we're building the American Dream one impeccably crafted home at a time.
- A Proven Product
Whether it’s homeowner satisfaction, or franchisee infrastructure and systems, our product remains unsurpassed.

U.S. new home construction has continued to grow over the last 5 years, with “move-up” custom-built and production-built homes being a driver.
