Our Story Your Neighbor Since 1958
WHO WE AREBuilt Here. Rooted Here. Still Here.
It started in 1958 with a simple belief: every family deserves a quality home they can be proud of. Our founder, Charlie Kornman, built Sunrise Homes on that promise. And more than six decades later, that promise hasn't changed.
What has changed is everything around it. We've grown. Our communities have grown. The families we are building for today want to raise their kids in real communities just like the ones their own parents lived in. That kind of legacy isn't something you plan. It's something you earn, one home and one family at a time.
We're still family-owned. Still locally owned and operated. Still committed to the communities we serve. Still working alongside trade partners and team members who have grown alongside us and share our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and unmatched innovation. Some of them live in Sunrise homes themselves.
That's not a coincidence. That's who we are.
WHAT SETS US APART
Experience the Difference
When you buy a Sunrise home, you're not just getting materials & square footage. You're getting decades of expertise, a team that genuinely cares, and a process built around you, from the first meeting to the final walkthrough, and well beyond. Our Customer Care team stays with you long after closing day, and every home is backed by a 2-10 Homebuyer Warranty, so your investment is protected for years to come.
60+ Years of Local Expertise
We're not a national company that just came to town. We live here, shop here, and raise our families here. Just like you. That means we know this region: its land, its culture, its weather, and what makes a home truly livable in southeast Louisiana. When you work with Sunrise, you're working with people who are genuinely invested in this community's future.
Your Home, Your Way
From thoughtfully designed floor plans to our professionally curated Design Centers, we give you the ability to personalize your home to fit your lifestyle. Large primary suites, generous secondary bedrooms, functional living spaces: every plan is crafted for real life, not just the brochure. And with a wide range of finishes, fixtures, and options to choose from, your home will feel like it’s yours from day one.
We design our communities with the same intention we bring to our homes, creating the kind of place where neighbors become friends, kids grow up together, and everyday life happens. It's one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
A Process Built on Trust
Buying a new home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. That's why we show up for you before, during, and after the sale. Our experienced team is here to answer your questions, walk you through every step, and make sure you feel confident in one of the biggest decisions of your life. We don't just build homes. We build relationships.
