MEET THE TEAM
ABOUT US
Centennial Homes was formed in 2015 by Alan Howard and Scott Underwood.
Between the two of them they have been in the construction industry for about 40 years from the real estate side to the actual construction and together have constructed 5,000 Timeless Homes in the Greater Birmingham Area.
OUR HISTORY
Prior to forming Centennial, Alan built over 3,800 homes and served as principle for a large homebuilding firm in Birmingham. Previous, he owned a custom homebuilding company that created homes in the Greystone, Highland Lakes and Brook Highland Neighborhoods.
Since 1998, Scott has held a real estate broker license. For over 20 years, he was focused on marketing new homes for builders and was instrumental in the development of operations of the company where Alan served as principle. In addition to Centennial Homes, Scott formed Prominence Homes in 2013 and has built close to 2000 homes. Since 2018 Prominence Homes has focused on building homes for investors for the rental market in one of the fastest growing housing markets.
As a team they balance all the elements of homebuilding and design, together with art and technology to meet the needs of the customer without compromising on design and aesthetics.
