Adair Homes is known for quality craftsmanship at a price you can afford throughout the Western United States. We’ve built our business around the premise that home ownership provides financial freedom—and when we work with our customers—we help them build wealth. With this in mind, Adair has always built homes a bit differently than the rest of the Homebuilders out there… We’ve invited our homeowners to roll up their sleeves and work alongside our contractors, thereby earning sweat equity throughout the building process. As a result, Adair homeowners have realized more equity at closing than the typical new home buyer.
