The Lexar Difference
On-Your-Lot Home Builders Who Build for Performance
Most on-your-lot home builders focus on getting a home built. Lexar focuses on how that home performs over time, and the lasting value it brings to you.
That difference shows up in how homes are sealed, how air moves through the space, how materials are selected, and how the systems work together. The result is a home that feels more comfortable, costs less to operate, and holds up better over the long term.
Why This Matters to Homeowners
- Lower monthly energy costs through better insulation and sealing
- More consistent indoor temperatures year-round
- Cleaner indoor air with fewer allergens and pollutants
- A home built to last, not just pass inspection

Health & Comfort
We are committed to building healthy homes for healthy living. Did you know Indoor air quality can be 3-5x more polluted than outside? Our indoor air quality solutions assure families are living in a healthy, clean environment. This lowers the risk of illness and are especially beneficial for young children, the elderly, and those who suffer from preexisting respiratory conditions.
“I have horrible allergies and happen to choose to live surrounded by hay fields. Since building our new home and choosing the ductless mini split heating and air conditioning system, we have seen a definite improvement in the cleanliness of the air quality. My allergies are much better and I can finally sleep.”
-David D.
Panasonic Energy Star Bath Fan
Panasonic WhisperGreen™ moisture sensing bath fans provide precise ventilation rates, that reduce moisture condensation to prevent harmful mold and mildew, improve indoor air quality, and use 65% less energy than louder, traditional models.
No/Low-VOC Primers, Paints, Adhesives & Caulks*
Why removing toxins in your home, we’re reducing landfill contaminants and eliminating off-gassing in the environment. It’s good for your family and for the planet.
Energy Recovery Fresh Air Circulation
Our whole house fresh air system expels stale air and takes in fresh outside air. When the two pass by each other the fresh air is warmed up so you don’t pay extra heating costs.
Energy Sealing
Sealing cracks and openings keep out chilly drafts and moisture problems that can affect occupants’ health and comfort. This will better protect interior temperatures from the external environment, allowing you to live more comfortably inside your home during the day. At night, the comfort of having an air sealed home will also allow you to sleep better by eliminating disruptive fluctuations in temperature.
Motion Sensing Garage Fan
Proper garage ventilation ensures that chemicals and gases don’t creep into your home – not to mention carbon monoxide from automobile exhaust. Our exhaust fans also help pull the moisture out of your garage so that mold and mildew are less of an issue.
Sealed Garage-to- house Common Walls
Creating a tight seal between the garage and house reduces the opportunity for common garage pollutants, such as carbon monoxide, fertilizers, and gasoline, from entering your home.
BIBS Insulation
Blown-in Blanket insulation made from recycled material contain no formaldehyde, binders, or dyes. This creates a healthier environment and more comfortable home free from additives used in other insulation systems. The blowing wool fibers used in the BIBS system are contained behind a proprietary fabric which promotes a clean and healthy job site.
Advanced Piping System
PEX-a is immune to corrosion and mineral build-up. No glues, solder, or solvents are used in assembly, keeping potentially dangerous chemicals out of your plumbing systems.
Ductless Mini Split System
Often times, the quality of indoor air can actually be lower than the quality of outdoor air. With traditional HVAC systems, air ducts must be professionally cleaned on a regular basis, and even after cleaning, dust and allergens are left behind. Ductless air conditioning and heating systems, on the other hand, offer multi-stage filtration that can drastically reduce dust, bacteria, pollen, allergens and other particulates in the air.
Energy Efficiency
Unlike most homes on the market, we build homes to performance standards that far exceed the minimum state code requirements. This results in huge average yearly savings. Money you can put towards an extra family vacation each year, making additions to your home or property, an extra night out each month, your savings, and more! We encourage you to compare our homes to others that you might be considering.
“Now, we live in a wonderfully comfortable home. Everything about it is amazing. Our energy bills are even lower than when we lived in a small apartment.”
-Mr. Reed, Kennewick, Wa
Efficient Windows
High performance windows save energy and provide a comfortable and consistent room-to-room living environment. They also prevent UV rays from damaging or fading your furniture and flooring. Yearly Savings = $480+
R-49 plus Raised Heel
The building code requires either raised heel trusses or R-49 insulation. We do both in order to maximize the insulation over your entire attic resulting in a 33% increase in energy savings and better ventilation within the attic space. *Available upon request for Designer Collection Plans Yearly Savings = $350+
Insulated Headers & Corners
Advanced framing techniques increase the amount of insulation in your walls, reduces thermal bridging, lowers your heating costs and saves you money. Yearly Savings = $300+
Heat Pump Water Heater
Water heating is often 25% of your energy usage. Heat Pump Water Heaters are more than 3 times as efficient as a conventional water heater delivering the same heat for a third of the cost. Yearly Savings = $220+
Water Conserving Fixtures
Water Sense labeled faucets, toilets and showerheads reduce water consumption without sacrificing performance. This not only lowers the amount of water used but also saves energy used for water heating as well. Yearly Savings = $300+
Airtight Drywall Approach
The joints where drywall meets the framing, particularly around doors, windows and at the ceiling are some of the worst air leakage spots within a home. Sealing the drywall at those locations has a significant impact in preventing warm moist air from entering your walls and cold air from entering your home. Yearly Savings = $500+
Energy Sealing
We make sure our homes are well sealed by making sure all the opportunities for air leakage are sealed and blocked. In a typical home if you added up all the locations where air leaks in and out, it would equal a 2 foot hole in your living room. That’s cold, and expensive! Yearly Savings = $220+
BIBS Insulation
Blown-in Blanket insulation results in a more completely filled cavity with zero voids, gaps or compression and increases the R-value by more than 10%. Formaldehyde-free insulation made of recycled material promotes healthier indoor air for your family. Yearly Savings = $300+
LED Lighting
LED lighting uses up to 80% less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and can last upwards of 50,000 hours. That’s more than 20 years of typical use and up to 5 times longer than CFL’s! Yearly Savings = $300+
Superior Quality
Our reputation is built on the quality of the materials, fixtures and tradespeople we use and we back every Lexar home with our exclusive 3-5 Limited Lifetime Warranty.
“…We were very impressed with all the detail and effort they put into making sure each step was complete and accurate. Living on site during the entire project allowed for us to see how well they ran a clean and organized build. Very efficient and built with pride every step of the way. Lexar standards seem to us, to be better than the competition hands down…”
– Lory & Deanna S, Toledo, WA
Capillary Breaks & Sealed Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Concrete foundations and damp crawl spaces can wick a lot of moisture into the framing members of your home. We help prevent this by adding sill seal to create a capillary break between the framing members and foundation and also by sealing the vapor barrier in your crawl and extending it up to the top of the foundation wall.
Advanced Door & Window Flashing
Pan flashing creates an added layer of defense, just another step Lexar takes to assure your home is protected from moisture damage. This improves the comfort and overall performance of your home while protecting it from moisture damage.
High Quality House Wrap
Not all house wraps are created equal. We use the highest quality Dupont™ Tyvek® DrainWrap® that helps keep air and water out, while letting water vapor escape. This promotes drying in wall systems, helping to prevent mold and water damage, and stops air movement through the walls providing a more energy-efficient home.
Tested for Minimal Air Leakage
Our attention to detail allows our homes to routinely surpass code requirements by as much as 40%, saving you additional money by reducing air leakage throughout the home, backed up by 3rd party testing. *Air leakage testing requirements differ in each jurisdiction and 3rd party tests are not performed on all homes in all regions. Contact us for more details.
Closed Soffits & Ridge Venting
Attics can become extremely warm and trap moisture unless properly vented. Code requires a minimum square footage of net free area but doesn’t address ideal location. We utilize LP Smart Soffit and Lomanco continuous ridge venting and then calculate the best balance between intake and exhaust to ensure the most effective ventilation strategy for your attic.
Synthetic Roof Underlayment
Synthetic roof underlayment combined with an impenetrable ice/water shield ensures that any water that ends up at the edge of the roof has an opportunity to dry without doing any damage. Plus we add a drip edge that kicks water away from the face of the building.
Engineered Floor Systems
LP SolidStart engineered floor systems are stronger, straighter and help minimize squeaks and vibration while providing peace of mind with a 50-year manufacturer warranty. Seventy percent of all wood in Lexar Homes is engineered to maximize efficiency and reduce waste.
Burst Proof PEX-a Plumbing
Uponor PEX-a piping will not burst in freezing conditions like metal piping will, eliminating costly repairs. Unlike metal piping, it’s immune to corrosion and mineral build-up and is not affected by electrolysis, which can cause small pin hole leaks in copper piping. No glues, solder, or solvents are used to assemble PEX-a , keeping potentially dangerous chemicals out of your plumbing systems. Plus, there is no risk of copper traces in your water from the breakdown of pipe that has been linked to heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
