Jess Alway

Founded in 1975 by Jess Alway, the company is still going strong over 40 years later. Today you will still find Jess putting the finishing touches on everything from beam work to cabinet drawings. Jess was joined by his son, Aaron Alway in 2013. Working together, Jess and Aaron have combined creative design work with an organized and thoughtful building process. Alway Homes builds functional show pieces. Our designs are comfortable and meant to stand the test of time-even as new building trends come and go.

Alway Homes is an Oregon home builder. We pride ourselves in building houses that last lifetimes. From generation to generation, our homes stand apart: sturdy, genuine, impressive, creative. We don't believe in faux stone, composites or veneers — only the real stuff will do. By working closely with the best stone masons in the Northwest, Alway Homes has set a standard in stone exteriors. Whether you are thinking dry stack, river rock, or mortared, our portfolio of work A stone building both looks and feels impenetrable.

Lap is traditional. Board and bat is retro, brick may be stately, but stucco? It has a personality. Stucco has been used as a sculptural material throughout time. The ability to architecturally mould it means that we can create many variant styles with one material! Stucco is also extremely durable and weather resistant. With a color coat on top, no repainting is necessary. Imagine how many times you won't have to call a painter to repaint the southern exposure of your home! And speaking of color — the possibilities are endless.

From the outside in, your home should represent you! Gating, railings, balcony's, cabinet pulls and towel bars — each detail speaks to the whole. Iron is both elegant and rugged: the perfect material to use in any Alway custom home. We can't pass up a blacksmith forged hand railing — any theme can be expressed though this unique and Old World art form. What could be more perfect? Not much.
