SolAire Homebuilders

2446 NW Dorion Way

Award winning green builder SolAire Homebuilders is known for quality custom homes and sustainable construction.  Founded in 1995, SolAire decided to take a bold step by integrating passive solar design, energy efficient home envelopes, and healthy indoor living principles into the familiar form of the custom family home.  SolAire founders Mike & Cindi O’Neil explain, “Building a green home means building a lasting, better quality home. We take pride in the fact that over 250 custom homes built by SolAire in Central Oregon over the past decade will cost less to heat and cool no matter what fuel prices do in the future.” 

SolAire has demonstrated expertise in remodeling and commercial construction.  In 2006 SolAire built their home office in NW Crossing as a commercial showcase for sustainable building design and construction.  The building demonstrates many of the principles and technologies SolAire wishes to bring to their customers in Central Oregon.  The SolAire Team stays abreast of the many new and emerging green home features and benefits, helping guide their customers through the custom home building process with ease.
