BEHIND OUR HOMES

We build for people who value craftsmanship, connection, and comfort. Our team blends design, construction, and local real estate expertise to create homes that truly reflect the way you live. Thoughtful design, personal service, and timeless quality — that’s the LLE difference.

The LLE Difference


As a small, family-owned builder, we take on only a select number of projects each year to ensure quality, communication, and connection never get lost in the process.

From the first meeting to the final walk-through, you work directly with Kay and Dave Leemon. At LLE Homes, it’s never about building fast. It’s about building right — with craftsmanship, creativity, and care in every step.

WHAT SETS US APART

PERSONAL ATTENTION

You’ll never be passed from person to person. From your first meeting to move-in day, you’ll work directly with Kay and Dave, ensuring every decision feels personal and every detail reflects your vision.

DESIGN-DRIVE APPROACH

With a deep understanding of both design and construction, we create homes that balance beauty and function. Every space is thoughtfully crafted to fit the way you live — not just how it looks.

LOCAL EXPERTISE

As Knoxville and Lenoir City locals, we know the community, the land, and the lifestyle. We build homes that fit seamlessly into the rhythm of East Tennessee living.
