The Story
Homebuilder Randy Sebastian in Lake Oswego OR - Renaissance Homes

It takes dedication and passion to make a
great home builder.

Our President, Randy Sebastian, has deep roots in the Portland area and is passionate about our great city.  He grew up in Oregon City and attended Portland State University. He began building homes in SE Portland in 1984 at the age of twenty. The following year, he founded Renaissance Homes.  Since then, he has continually refined and improved the home building process. His work continues to reflect his enthusiasm and excitement, thus creating one of the most acclaimed local home builders in the Portland area.

Randy has a passion for what's right in a home.

With his artistic eye, combined with an acute understanding of the wants and needs of homebuyers, Randy has set a course for the company to construct every home to the highest standards.  Renaissance utilizes our Living Green building process encompassing energy efficient technologies and innovative green products. At Renaissance, we believe we are helping to save our planet one Renaissance Home at a time.

Innovation is at the heart of every home built by Renaissance. Our creative team pushes the envelope on home design, construction techniques, amenities, style and new products. We lead, others follow.

Renaissance home buyers are the obvious reason for our success. 

We work hard to offer better designs in premium locations and to make building your new home an exciting, enjoyable experience. Teamwork often goes unspoken.  Not at Renaissance.  We work hard at it each and every day.  Every home, right down to the last detail, is built with sincere care.

Renaissance Homes is the proud winner of 54 Street of Dreams awards, including 9 Best of Show, more than any other builder, ever. Renaissance Homes is the largest builder of single-family ENERGY STAR certified homes in state of Oregon. We are dedicated to creating homes of unparalleled quality and value. Our team dynamically pursues excellence as we believe there is no finish line.

I love my Renaissance home.
I love my Renaissance home. You can see Renaissance has high quality standards. The location and the "look" is PERFECT for me!!
We couldn't be happier with the whole process.
We had the opportunity to "stalk" this builder for a couple years before deciding to choose Renaissance to build our home. We visited several building sites to observe the process, and found the the techniques and building practices were done as advertised. We couldn't be happier with the whole process from finding a lot, to home completion and move in. The communication was excellent, and the support from on-site construction foreman was also great.
My craftsman home design fits well in the neighborhood.
Renaissance built my home from a plan they had; one story living and guest rooms/loft upstairs- it is perfect for a retired couple. So many items were included such as a tankless hot water heater, timed light/fan in shower, wide driveway, crown molding in a few rooms, and energy efficient HVAC. My craftsman home design fits well in the neighborhood. Customer service is attentive and fairly quick. Very professional.
Thank you for making my dream home!
Everyone who comes to my home comments on the finishes and the quality of the craftsmanship. Thank you for making my dream home! I would recommend Renaissance to anyone. They stand behind their product and quality.
We love our Renaissance Home!
We love our Renaissance Home! We had one weekend to buy a home, all I had was a picture and when I showed it to the agent after 42 houses we didn't like, she drove us to the home and the moment we walked through, we said 'yes to the Renaissance Home'.
We would not have been able to build our dream home if it weren’t for their ROYL program.
We would not have been able to build our dream home if it weren’t for their Renaissance Custom program. We spoke with other builders and were not receiving the design quality or price anywhere near what Renaissance was able to deliver.
We felt supported by the Renaissance team from the very beginning.
We were familiar with the quality and dependability of the brand. We also felt supported by the Renaissance team from the very beginning, making the building process easy and enjoyable.
We loved that the Renaissance Custom program allowed us to build a fully custom home, but it also helped streamline the process and decision making.
We loved that the Renaissance Custom program allowed us to build a fully custom home, but it also helped streamline the process and decision making. We were able to team up with Renaissance’s skilled designers and construction crew to make the process manageable and never overwhelming. Beyond the process though, what stood out to us about Renaissance within the first few moments of visiting a Renaissance home was the quality and craftmanship. The more we learned about Renaissance we developed an appreciation that they did things the right way, and their goal was to make happy customers above all else. We had an opportunity to meet Randy Sebastian at one of the open houses this past summer, and we loved how he made us feel like we were joining the Renaissance family... Whether it be our loan officer, title company, or friends in the community, there has been a resounding amount of positive feedback associated with Renaissance. We are so excited to have found Renaissance and grateful to be able to go on the journey to build our dream home.
Renaissance is a great builder and the customer service is exceptional.
Love my new home. Renaissance is a great builder and the customer service is exceptional. Their staff seems like they are in the hospitality industry- so outgoing and friendly!
Renaissance homes [have] a more contemporary and classic look that will age well.
The quality is great, and we really like the design of our Renaissance Home. Some other builder’s homes have a noticeable look. In a few years, you will be able to tell exactly when they were built. Renaissance Homes has a more contemporary and classic look that will age well. The design of the home is nice, and the inside is gorgeous.
