Apple Home Builders was first registered by local entrepreneur John Day with Tarion Home Warranty in June 2002. Day had success in the automotive business but always wanted to build custom homes. He learned the trade by working closely with a friend in the business first and then began developing his own company. He approached new home construction with a quality first attitude and takes a hand from beginning to end - handing his clients the keys of each new home. The first houses were built in Tavistock. He soon built a following as a quality builder.
