About Zalar Homes

Zalar Homes specializes in high-end custom homes and major remodels, delivering projects with a strong focus on quality, detail, and client experience. Our team works closely with clients, architects, and designers to execute projects at the highest level.


Company Description

Zalar Homes is led by Doug Zalar, who built his career from the ground up—starting in the trades and working hands-on for years before becoming a superintendent for a high-end builder in Orange County, where he oversaw the residential division. That background shapes how we operate today: practical, detail-driven, and focused on quality.
Doug started Zalar Homes with the belief that people should actually enjoy coming to work. He’s intentional about building a team that feels supported, respected, and taken care of—while still holding a high standard for performance.
We take pride in what we build and how we build it. Our projects are high-end, our expectations are high, and we work closely with our clients to deliver a great experience—even through the challenges that come with construction. Most of our work comes through referrals, which speaks to the reputation we’ve built and the relationships we maintain.
