When it came time to build a new office, John Day, owner of North Bend’s John Day Homes, went a different route than most businesses.

Day built a 4,000-square-foot home that would act as the company’s newest office and double as a showroom.

It was just another step for Day, who began operations in 1987 as Middlefork Development Corp. and was renamed a decade later to its current moniker.

The houses built by John Day Homes have a traditional style to them in which everything is balanced. The homes retain a timeless quality while updated trends can be seen in the cabinet colors, flooring and other hardware choices.

The company offers 14 floor plans to choose from and each comes with a variety of options.

With John Day Homes, the customer always knows up front exactly how much the house will cost to build.

John Day Homes is located at 126 E. Second Street in North Bend. Visit the company’s Web site at www.johndayhomes.com.
