The Lexar Story
Lexar Homes is a team of custom home builders focused on helping families build homes that last. The company was founded on a simple idea: a home should be something that holds value over time, not something that fades or needs constant correction.
For buyers choosing a builder, that difference matters. The way a home is designed, built, and supported after construction affects how it performs for years to come. Lexar’s story is rooted in building homes that are durable, thoughtfully designed, and backed by a team that stands behind the work.
Why Lexar Was Founded
- To make high-quality homeownership more attainable without sacrificing long-term durability
- To build homes that hold value over time, not ones that require constant fixes
- To create a process that is clear, guided, and built around the homeowner
- To focus on craftsmanship, efficiency, and choices that support long-term affordability
Challenging the Status Quo
Since 1993, Lexar Homes has focused on helping families achieve homeownership at a price that makes sense long term. The belief has always been simple: a home should be both attainable and built to last.
Over time, that idea evolved. In 2010, Lexar expanded its approach to affordability by focusing on how homes are designed, built, and perform over time. That shift led to a stronger commitment to energy efficiency, durable construction, and building practices that reduce long-term costs.
For Lexar, building “green” is not a trend. It is a practical way to build homes that perform better, last longer, and provide more value over time.
Meet Bob & James
Lexar Homes was founded by builder Bob Hollis and financier James Moen, combining hands-on construction experience with a strong understanding of how to build homes that make financial sense for families.
From the beginning, their approach has been grounded in doing things the right way: focusing on quality, long-term value, and a process that supports homeowners from start to finish. That same mindset continues to shape how Lexar builds homes today.
