HIGH PERFORMANCE
As pioneers of the positive-energy construction concept, we build homes that not only produce enough renewable energy to eliminate heating and electrical bills but that can also power an electric car for thousands of miles per year. In fact, we have built more 100% solar-powered homes than any other builder in the area at a cost that is surprisingly affordable. Contact us today for an estimate on your custom home building project.
Our Mission
TC Legend Homes aims to lead the charge in the Pacific Northwest of designing and building zero-energy homes. All of our homes have abundant daylighting, produce at least as much renewable energy as they consume, are non-toxic, accessible, affordable, and have healthy indoor air quality. We strive to create buildings that allow for the clean powering of both homes and personal transportation. We hire a diverse team of people who are passionate about sustainability and align with our mission and values. At TC Legend Homes, we are transparent with our clients and community and believe in openly sharing our knowledge to benefit all, regardless of income, social class, race, ethnicity, or privilege. By sharing our experiences and expertise, TC Legend Homes works to inspire and challenge other builders, individuals, and organizations to push for an equitable, safe, and healthy built environment.
