ABOUT WINKEL BUILDERS

Trip and Hilliary Winkel's journey into the world of home building began with a passion for excellence and a keen eye for Southern charm. After relocating to Cape Girardeau, MO, to pursue careers in medical sales, they quickly realized the demand for homes that exuded a touch of Southern allure.

In 2018, Trip and Hilliary decided to establish Winkel Builders LLC, inspired by Trip's father and uncle's successful business founded in 1978 in Clarksdale, MS. Meanwhile, Hilliary's father's expertise in construction, spanning large shopping centers, custom home builds, and building renovations, provided invaluable insights and a deep-rooted understanding of the industry.

Growing up under the guidance of their fathers, Trip and Hilliary developed a passion for creating premium homes, driven by a desire to elevate the housing landscape in Cape Girardeau. Their strategic approach targeted a niche audience, introducing million-dollar-plus homes to the market and subsequently transitioning to high-end custom homes and spec homes in Cape Girardeau County, MO.

As second-generation home builders, Trip serves as the meticulous general contractor, while Hilliary brings her expertise to oversee business operations and design, culminating in a harmonious partnership that ensures every project reflects their commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and client satisfaction.
