Jeffrey Harrington Homes has been building custom homes in the Houston area since the 1960s. The company was originally founded by William J. Harrington, a Harvard Graduate, who served as President of the Greater Houston Builders Association in 1970. As Harrington Homes, we were one of the original builders in Sugar Creek, Sweetwater, and Greatwood, among other communities in southwest Houston. Since our inception, we have completed many hundreds of homes, specializing in custom homes in the 2,500 to 12,000 square foot range. Our typical projects average in cost from $300,000 to $2,000,000, and above. Mark Jeffrey, a former Professional Engineer in Texas, has recently become majority owner, renaming the company Jeffrey Harrington Homes. As President, Mark is focused on establishing Jeffrey Harrington Homes as a premier builder of energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and technically advanced custom homes. Mark is also a partner in Palladian Residential Construction, which has been building homes in Houston and San Antonio for the past six years. Palladian has completed close to 100 homes since 2000. In 2009, Mark received his Certified Green Professional designation from the National Association of Home Builders. Jeffrey Harrington Homes is committed to building individual custom homes with a high degree of customer participation in the design and construction process. We believe that today's custom homes must meet a higher standard than those of the recent past. The beauty of our designs speak for themselves, as seen here on our website. Each home is a reflection of our client's vision and the creativity of our design team. We are constantly evaluating new technologies to build superior homes. A major consideration, more and more, is to build a home that will easily withstand hurricane strength wind and rain. As an added benefit, we find these technologies can also result in much more energy efficient homes and can reduce insurance costs due to superior fire, termite and mold resistance. We also believe that our homes must be state of the art in the utilization of technology for home automation, entertainment, security, lighting, internet connectivity, etc. We fully support the growing trend toward environmentally friendly green building. Various attributes of green building appear in every project we do. It is our firm belief, however, that our customer's money is best spent in building the most energy efficient, structurally sound, frame and envelope. This design philosophy will then better support technologies such as solar heating and power generation, heat pumps, wind generation, etc.
