Meet the Legacy Team

Jon & Sadie Whitener

We founded Legacy Builders in 2017 in Templeton, CA, with a simple vision: to create a construction company that would make us and our family proud, and leave a lasting legacy for our three daughters- twin girls Blake and Elliott and Leah. When we first meets potential clients to assess their needs and determine if their project is a good fit, our goal is twofold: to introduce clients to Legacy Builders’ values and to ensure the project aligns with our company’s capabilities and standards. Every interaction builds the foundation of a strong client relationship. For us, trust is everything and this commitment to trust and transparency ensures that all of our client feels valued, contributing to Legacy’s hard earned reputation for exceptional service and long-term relationships. Our word and reputation are everything to us.
