Custom Homes
Custom Home Building
Your Dream Home, Built Around How You Actually Live
Not a cookie-cutter plan. Not a tract home. A custom home designed for your life.
Ocean Breeze Homes builds custom homes from the ground up for clients who want something designed specifically for them. We’ve been doing this for 30 years in Oregon’s Willamette Valley and coastal communities, and we’ve learned what makes a home truly livable—not just photogenic.

You Know What You Want - But Not How to Get There
Building a custom home feels overwhelming when you're not in the construction business.
You want a home that fits your life, not a floor plan from a catalog. But you're not a construction expert, and the idea of managing a massive building project sounds exhausting. You've looked at national builders, but they feel impersonal—like you'd be just another project number. You want someone who'll actually listen to what you want and guide you through the process. That's exactly who we work with. Most of our clients don't know anything about construction or design when they start. They come to us because they want a local builder who'll be upfront about costs and timelines, answer their questions in plain language, and build a home that actually works for how they live.
How We Build
Custom Homes Start With Listening
We learn how you live before we design where you'll live.
Before we draw a single line, we ask questions. How do you spend your mornings? Do you cook elaborate meals or heat up leftovers? Do you work from home? Host guests frequently? Need space for hobbies? These questions shape everything from kitchen layout to bedroom placement to storage solutions. John Faulconer has 30 years of experience asking the right questions and translating the answers into homes that work. We build livability—practical homes that are also beautiful.

Not necessarily. Some clients come to us with land already purchased, others want help finding the right lot.
