Alair Homes Launches Alair Columbia, Its Second Missouri Location, Led by Brad Young

Alair Homes opened Alair Columbia in Columbia, Missouri, led by Brad Young, founder of TigerTown Home Improvement, the company said in a PR Newswire announcement on November 2, 2026. The location is the second Alair site in Missouri, following the company's established presence in Springfield.

Brad Young Leads Alair Columbia Launch

Alair Columbia is the first Alair location in Columbia and the second in Missouri. Young joins the Alair Homes network of independent builders after building TigerTown Home Improvement into a Columbia-based construction company.

"Joining Alair doesn't change who we are in Columbia. It supercharges us," said Brad Young, Partner, Alair Columbia. "Our clients will continue working with the same dedicated local team, now backed by one of North America's most respected custom home building and renovation networks."

Mike Peters, Regional Partner for Alair Missouri, said the expansion strategy starts with people rather than markets. "With our established presence in Springfield, Columbia was a natural opportunity to continue growing Alair across Missouri," Peters said. "What really made the timing right was connecting with Brad Young and the business he had already built."

The grand opening on October 22, 2026 drew more than 80 past clients, trade partners, neighbors, friends and Alair colleagues from across North America, with support from vendor partners Kohler, Ferguson Home, Andersen Window and Sherwin Williams. The team also partnered with Columbia Second Chance, a local animal rescue organization, which brought adoptable dogs to the event.

Alair Homes was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Nanaimo, Canada, with a headcount range of 501 to 1,000, the records show. The company describes itself as North America's largest custom home building and renovation network.
