Our Story

At TJH, we do more than build homes. We give homebuyers access to lifestyles as vibrant and varied as the communities in which we build. Our homes are really the entry point to the lives our clients want to live.”
—James Mead, CEO, Thomas James Homes
Core Commitments
At TJH we hold fast to three core client commitments:
We simplify the complex.Whether it’s finding land on the right block, managing jurisdictional red tape, or taking the overwhelm out of home design, we turn obstacles into opportunities, so you get the home you want without the stress and delays. | |
We believe in homebuilding without the fine print.Our industry is plagued by vague estimates, budget overages, and moving-target timelines. But we believe in clarity every step of the way, from initial consultations to final walkthroughs. No hidden fees, no unexpected surprises – just honest homebuilding backed by price and delivery guarantees. | |
We do the right thing, even when it’s hard.We hold ourselves to high standards for quality, craftsmanship, and service – from sourcing materials to managing construction. On the rare occasion we don’t get it right, we rebuild trust through responsible actions and delivering on our promises. |


We view homebuilding as the means for making a difference in the world.
Every home we build represents more jobs and reliable pay for subcontractors. More deals and better opportunities for agents. More sales and higher offers for sellers. Revitalized communities and enhanced property values for neighbors. And more homebuyers in the right homes and neighborhoods for them.
