Younger Brothers History
The Foundation
For the Younger Brothers family, construction wasn’t just a trade, it was a calling; an art that flowed through their veins. As a young boy, James “Jim” Younger III worked with his father building homes. At the impressive age of sixteen, Jim was already earning good money doing carpentry jobs. After working his way through Phoenix College, opportunity knocked. Design Master Homes offered him a job and the opportunity to get his own business off the ground. Jim III grabbed the chance and with four skill saws, a drill and Karmen Ghia, Jim III and his father created Younger Brothers Construction.
The Framework
25 years later, a company that began as a home office with five employees has grown to a large corporation with more than 1,000 employees and gross sales exceeding $125 million annually. In addition, Younger Brothers Construction is now just one facet of Younger Brother Companies, a family that includes: Younger Brothers Components, Younger Brothers Door & Trim, Younger Brothers Development, Younger Brothers Pretreat & Home Services and Liberty Lumber.
The Family
Our company mission “Quality People Building Better Homes,” is more than just a phrase, it is a company culture. We take seriously our commitment to quality, customers and community. We are proud of our superior standing in the construction business and our continual ranking as one of Arizona’s top 100 privately held businesses. We know success is a collaborative effort. That’s why we contribute our strength to the dedication, integrity and commitment of each and every member of the Younger Brothers’ family of companies.

History of the Horse & Rider
 Our logo, the horse & rider, has proudly represented the Younger name since we began in 1975. The horse & rider actually came about as a result of a somewhat infamous family heritage. In the lore of the Wild West, the Younger Brothers Gang - Cole, James, John and Bob had somewhat of a colorful past. Admittedly, depending on who you ask, the Younger brothers were either heroes or outlaws. Regardless, the James Younger Gang was known for their unity, strength, pride and immense loyalty. That loyalty carried through to each other, their family, their associates and their friends. Today, the Younger family is much the same, of course, without the “outlaw” part.
