Pridgen Homes is a family affair.  The father, Ron Pridgen has been in the construction industry for 40 years! Growing up, Ron worked with his father until he joined the Air Force, where he served for four years.  Between his father and the Air Force, Ron learned discipline and leadership.  After he served in the Air Force, Ron and his brother in-law (also very experienced in construction) worked together building homes, condos on the beach and much more.  Ron's brother in-law retired from the industry more than 10 years ago, and now Ron's two sons, Jamie and Jody Pridgen, work with Ron on every project.

Jamie has worked with his father since he could hold a hammer.  In school he took every class available to learn more about the industry. He took design, drafting, wood working, engineering/structural and business.  While in college, Jamie temporarily worked in the land title business, learning all about closings, appraisals, courthouse records, and everything else involved in the industry.  Jamie worked with many Attorneys and courthouse Public Officials on numerous properties all over Alachua County. After obtaining his degree, Jamie went to work for Pridgen Homes in Public Relations. 

Jody worked with his Father part time during his childhood.  After school, Jody went to work for The Home Depot.  Because of his leadership skills he learned from his Father, Jody quickly was promoted to a Department Manager.  In time, Jody missed working with his Father and decided to return to Pridgen Homes. He has been working full time now for over 9 years. 

The Pridgens are firm believers in God's core principles: Love God and Love People! The principles of Integrity and Honesty; Love your neighbor as yourself and Do unto others as you would have them do onto you, are important to the Pridgens, not just in business, but in every area of life.

The Pridgen have a heart to serve not just their customers, but also people in everyday life.

Ron, Jamie and Jody are very involved in their churches.  Jamie has served in the nursery and is currently serving in the 2 year old class. He has served our community by helping reach out to the homeless, serving food at Saint Francis House.  Ron is in charge of the Grounds Department at his church. He also has worked on Habitat for Humanity homes and has helped many people repair their homes. Jody serves in the sound booth at his church and helps his father in the Grounds Department. He also has worked on Habitat homes and helps the community by volunteering at the Alachua County Fire Department.
