The Bailey Company has a nearly 40-year history in the Missouri Ozarks. Founded by Drury University alum Howard Bailey in 1972, The Bailey Company is a family institution. From humble beginnings, Howard Bailey steadily grew his firm. In 1990, he was named the Home Builders Association builder of the year. In 2003, he was elected to the Home Builders Association Hall of Fame.

Matt Bailey, Howard’s son, is a “chip off the block.” A graduate of Missouri State University, Matt worked his way up from the bottom. As a teenager, Matt could be seen hauling trash away from construction sites. Today, Matt is the President of the company and the President of the Home Builders Association.

From 1972 to 2011, many construction companies have come and gone. But the more things change at The Bailey Company, the more things stay the same. While Howard has passed the baton to his son Matt, this family business still believes that people deserve the truth, quality is everything, and reputation is earned.
