Custom home builder
From the lot to the lights on.
We design and build a few custom homes a year, from the first walk on your land to the night you move in. One team, one fixed price.
Six homes a year.One crew, lot to keys.
The builder
We only take on a few homes at a time, so the people who draw your house are the people who build it.

How a Tenon home happens
01 / 03 — The land
We start on your lot.
Before anything is drawn, we walk the land with you: the sun, the slope, the trees worth keeping and the view you want from the kitchen.
02 / 03 — The price
One fixed price, in writing.
Drawings, engineering and a line-by-line price, all agreed before we break ground. The number does not move unless you change the house.
03 / 03 — The build
One crew, lot to keys.
Our own carpenters cut and raise the frame. You get photos and a short note every Friday until you move in.

The Inlet House. Douglas fir trusses, pegged by hand.
What we build
Homes made to stay a long time.
Fixed price
Agreed in writing before we break ground.
Friday updates
Photos and a short note every week of the build.
10-year warranty
On the structure, with a walk-through after your first year.
