About Ehrenburg Homes

Joe Ehr, President of Ehrenburg Homes Ltd.

Ehrenburg Homes has been building quality homes & 'castles' in Saskatoon and area since 1983. I, myself, started out as a Journeyman carpenter, and have been in construction for over 30 years.

Ehrenburg Homes feels very strongly about education and professionalism when it comes to new home construction. Our company is recognized as a Certified Professional Home Builder in the province of Saskatchewan, a member of the Canadian Home Builders Association, and a certified R2000 Builder. As a member of the New Home Warranty Program of Saskatchewan, we have received the Gold Service Award since joining the program in 1983. All our employees are qualified professionals, and stay current on new housing trends and technical innovations through continual industry-sponsored educational courses and seminars. We are also a long-time member of the Better Business Bureau of Saskatchewan.

Our efforts have not gone unrecognized. We have won many Saskatoon Home Builder Association’s ‘Bridges Awards’ for home design, technical innovation, environmental awareness, professional involvement, and advertising (including ‘Best Website’ in 2001!).

We have been asked many times where the name Ehrenburg came from. The name Ehr at one time was Ehrenburg and was later shortened. The castle pictured to the left is the Ehrenburg castle built around the year 1100.

From 1547 to 1918 this palace was the town residence of the Coburg dukes. Still a renaissance building, in part built in the neo-Gothic style (19th century), it features state-rooms and apartments with lavish furnishings, a Hall of Giants; Goblin Room; Red Reception Room; Small and Large Gallery; Court Church with lavish stuccowork (Italian craftsmen of the 17th century); and Throne Hall (neo-Classicism, 1831).


I also believe that one must give back to the industry in which you make your living, and to the community where you and your family live and prosper. To give me a better understanding of our industry, I have held several different positions from President of the Saskatoon Home Builders' Association, Chairman of the Saskatchewan Home Builders Association, to Secretary and Presidential Appointee of the Canadian Home Builders' Association. Over the years we have also contributed to various community organizations and charities. We have built raffle ‘playhouses’ for the MS Society of Saskatchewan, lottery homes for the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, and made contributions to The Children of Chernobyl fund.

And finally, I do believe that a family's home is their castle!!!

We have set up all of our ‘Family of Castles’ models (which, yes, can be modified on computer), and offer a custom design service to our clients to modify an existing plan, or to custom design a ‘Dream home’ plan of your very own. We offer an easy step-by-step process to building a new home (especially if you have not built before), and an after-sales service program to look after you once you have moved into your new home.

Big or small, give us a call for your next new home!!!
