Kana Homes Standards – Built to Last, Designed to Inspire

At Kana Homes, we don’t just build houses—we create homes that redefine luxury, quality, and longevity. From the very beginning, our mission has been to exceed the expectations of even the most discerning homebuyers. With a background in mechanical engineering and a passion for building science, Greg has established a set of uncompromising standards to ensure every Kana Home is as durable as it is beautiful.

When you choose a Kana Home, you can feel confident knowing that what’s behind the walls is just as exceptional as what’s in plain sight. Here’s what sets our homes apart:

  • Foundation

    We go beyond the basics to provide long-lasting protection for your home. Our foundations are engineered for optimal performance, tailored to your lot’s unique conditions, and backed by a 10-year structural warranty. Every foundation includes:

    Termite Protection: Soil is pre-treated before every pour, and we install TermiMesh®, a stainless-steel barrier that prevents termites from sneaking in through utility penetrations and hidden slab gaps.

    Engineered Stability: Our slabs are designed for durability, ensuring a strong foundation that stands the test of time.

  • Framing

    A strong home starts with superior framing. That’s why we use only premium-quality lumber, reinforced for maximum durability. We take it further with:

    Huber Zip System® Sheathing & Roof Decking: A factory-applied weather barrier eliminates the need for traditional house wrap, providing long-term protection against air and moisture infiltration.

    Huber Advantech 1 1/8” Subfloor: Our 125 lb. per sheet, tongue-and-groove subfloor is glued and screwed onto trusses to create a squeak-free, rock-solid foundation for your second floor.

    Wall Blocking for Stability: Interior and exterior walls are center-blocked to prevent warping, ensuring flawless drywall finishes for years to come.

  • Windows & Doors

    Windows and doors are more than just functional—they shape the character of your home. That’s why we install only top-tier materials that enhance beauty, durability, and energy efficiency:

    Simulated Divided Light Windows: With true interior and exterior grills, these windows create a classic, timeless aesthetic.

    Solid Mahogany or Custom Steel Exterior Doors: Every entrance is designed to impress and endure.

    Solid-Core Interior Doors (1 ¾” Thick): Unlike standard 1 ⅜” hollow-core doors, our true stile-and-rail doors provide superior soundproofing, durability, and resistance to humidity—perfect for San Antonio’s climate.

    Emtek Solid Brass Hardware: High-quality finishes ensure smooth operation and lasting security.

  • Insulation & HVAC

    Our homes are designed for exceptional comfort, energy savings, and indoor air quality:

    Spray Foam Insulation: Creates an airtight seal, reducing energy loss and ensuring a consistently comfortable home.

    Dedicated HVAC Supply & Return in Every Room: Eliminates hot or cold spots, ensuring even temperature control.

    Variable-Speed HVAC Systems & Dehumidifiers: Reduces humidity for a cooler, healthier indoor environment.

  • Finish Details

    Every Kana Home is finished with high-end materials that enhance both form and function:

    Wide-Plank European White Oak Floors: A perfect balance of beauty and durability.

    Custom Millwork & Trim: From molded baseboards and window casings to cove crown molding (even in closets!), our trim carpentry is second to none.

    Custom Cabinetry & Panel-Ready Appliances: Ensuring a cohesive, seamless look in kitchens and baths.

    Designer Lighting: We source from RH, Visual Comfort, and Arhaus, ensuring every space is beautifully illuminated.

  • Appliances

    Luxury cooking deserves luxury appliances. We hand-select premium brands based on quality and performance:

    Liebherr Refrigerators & Freezers (Germany): Innovative technology and sleek design.

    Miele Dishwashers (Germany): Whisper-quiet performance with cutting-edge functionality.

    High-End Ranges: Depending on the project, we incorporate Bluestar, JennAir, or Aga to ensure the best fit for each kitchen.
