From Our Home to Yours: The Lane Homes Story

Our story starts in 1984, when my dad, Ed Lane, founded Lane Homes with a simple promise: do the job, and do it right. From the beginning, I was by his side—digging, hammering, cleaning up job sites, and learning everything I could. One Christmas Eve, as snow came down, we worked on a client’s roof.
