Dare to Compare

Ken Thurston Homes is justifiably proud of the competitively priced, energy efficient home it offers to Las Cruces buyers. The three seals prominently displayed on all subdivision sales brochures tell the story: Building America Program Partner, Energy Star, and America Lung Association of New Mexico.

Ken Thurston and his associate Joe Hays have been committed to utilizing state-of-the-art research and technology to assure each housing unit (from slab to studs to attic, to front door to each and every window, from kitchen appliances to heating/cooling ducts) saves energy, provides a healthy, comfortable interior, and helps heal the environment.

For Ken Thurston, it is "just the right way to go, for all clients, in every price range." Maybe that's why Ken Thurston Homes built more new homes in Las Cruces in 2004 than any other builder.
