About Quail Valley Homes

Jim Emery has the coveted designation of "Graduate Master Builder". He has met all of the qualifications set forth by the National Homebuilders Association for this professional designation as a Des Moines home builder.

Each Quail Valley home is a unique creation blended seamlessly with the environment and the owner’s lifestyle. "Quail Valley’s high-quality homes and integrity in building practices are what draw people to the company," says President Jim Emery.

Because the company has been around since 1983, customers can rely on Emery’s knowledge. “Our experience over the years in business has taught us a lot,” he says. “Longevity in this particular industry is an indicator of stability. I’m here today and will be here tomorrow.”

An award-winning Des Moines home builder, Emery emphasizes quality over quantity and a hands-on approach to working with his clients. The company prides itself on custom home building and offers stock plans, plan services, and can have custom plans drawn as well.

Handcrafted bookcases, cabinets, and staircases plus impressive crown moldings have helped set Quail Valley Homes apart and earned Emery numerous awards. Quail Valley Homes is a five-time American Dream Award winner, presented by the Home Builders Association of Greater Des Moines, in the categories of overall best design, accessibility, and curb appeal.

Quail Valley’s design and decorating service creates unique places for the unique personalities who live in their homes. “We’re an upscale, medium-priced builder,” Emery says. “Everybody’s home is his castle, and we pay attention to that. We do whatever the customer would like us to do to assure they get the quality home they want.”
