CONNECTICUT VALLEY HOMES and RI MODULAR HOMES

Truly and Outstanding Experience. From the moment I arrived at the CT Valley Homes Office with my house "plan" drawn on a blank piece of paper, to the conceptual designs and ultimately the delivery and finish, the CT Valley team treated my home as if they were moving in! There are those who are skeptical about modular construction and that is misdirected. Modular construction allows for a home that is environmentally aware and aesthetically pleasing. I am in Newport RI and i had a challenging small lot but a dream to have enough space for guests, a roof deck outdoor space to enjoy the harbor breezes, and space for an office-- all while staying in my (small) budget. Newport weather is often wet and cold - my home is toasty warm and my bills are nominal! Why? Because of the construction. Drive by and See RobinsNest if you are thinking about a cost-effective and life-loving modular for your next family home! I will build another someday and will of course work with CT Valley Homes to make it happen!

We loved working with CVH on our home - which turned into our dream home before our very eyes. The team that worked with us on site became our friends and were so helpful as we tweaked final details into our custom design. Everyone we worked with at CVH was wonderful - Scott, Amanda, Bob & his crew, Jennifer.... thanks to all of them. We'd be happy to show our home to anyone interested in seeing how CVH can help you create the house you've imagined.

My experience with Dave Cooper and others at CT Valley Homes, allows me to unequivocally endorse their product, professionalism and high level of integrity. This is a company that stands by its product and its word. This is the kind of company you want to build with!

Most perfect home building experience. CT Valley has extreme attention to detail. In our walk-through of the nearly completed structure, we had pen and paper ready to write a punch list. At the end of the walk through the page was blank. We have fairly extensive construction experience and know how to spot issues. The blank page shocked us (in a good way). Can't recommend CT Valley highly enough.

We have been working with Connecticut Valley Homes for more than 10 years, and I can honestly say it is a pleasure working with this extremely professional group. They care deeply about their home owners and demand the best from their sub-contractors. Looking forward to many more projects with them.

Working together for over 5 years; truly a great team delivering a fast, cost effective and exceptional product! Would highly recommend for your custom home.

Dave Cooper and the whole CVH team were outstanding. Extremely responsive, collaborative, and fully committed to providing the best possible experience in helping us build our first home. We love our CVH home and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I have found the people at CVH to be very nice and a pleasure to work with. They are professionals with a strong sense of integrity.

Had a terrible experience with CVH Multiple issues Owner Richard Wildemuth belives he can talk his way out of issues then begrudgingly fixes or refunds money. By way of example we contracted tohave grade a blue label cedar shingle siding but then applied grade b red label and tried to convince us that a and b were one and the same. only after a month long email exchange did he capitulate and refund the difference , He was hoping to charge for one and install an inferior grade and pocket the savings. the roofing subs he used were novices and applied the roofing shingles incorrectly. the Shingles started blowing off nearly immediately. He had the subs " remedy the roof " , To date, shingles are still blowing off as of last week due to "High Nailing". Contacted the CVH owner and Mr Wldermuthe offers apologies and nothing else . His solution " Your warranty with Conn Valley ran out some years ago" You should go after the manufacturer for product defect . The product was fine the installation was faulty. We will have to remove the roof ( paid extra to have 120 mile pre hour wind tolerances) and re roofed as it is a vacation home and we are not always there to know when another crop of shingles flies off. Finished basement leaks at knee wall cvh constructed water ruined 3000 dollar new leather sofa (mold) other deceptive practices charged for a generator transfer circuit box @1200 never installed we had to push for a refund He hoped it would be overlooked . Likewise blueprints called for tongue and groove plywood flooring in a storage attic none installed had to push for a refund. again he hope it would be overlooked . another issue his crew vented the dryer into the wall not to the exterior . mos later i discovered a puddle in the basement they had to correct that . more mold more issues but wont bore the readers suffice to say you need to steer clear of them imagine a house 4 yrs young with an improperly applied roof and the contractor takes no responsibility caveat emptor

CVH were both friendly and professional from the first meeting up to today, three years after the project was completed. Their knowledge and flexibility in ensuring we received the product we wanted was first rate. The workmanship and service was more than anyone could ask for. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to build a new home.

I used Connecticut Valley Homes as my builder. Connecticut Valley Homes is a respectful home builder that cherishes its reputation. It has a long building history which is rare in the tough building industry. It expanded during and after the 2008 financial crisis. The best things I like about the company are that it cares very much of customers' needs and it will always come up with solutions to make the project move smoothly. The firm is credible and knows what it's doing. It has good relationship with qualified subcontractors and is able to manage them well. I highly recommend partnering with CVH on your project.

Why build versus buy ‘used’? We started looking for a house to buy and were immediately depressed by the fact that our budget would only allow us to buy a house that 1) would be a compromise on our layout and design ideals and 2) would require tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars of investments over the next 5 years to maintain and moderately improve. We decided to contact Connecticut Valley Homes (CVH) about the cost of a modular home and found we could have a brand new home for the equivalent of purchasing a used ‘money pit’ (note – land price to build a new home was a big factor for this project and we were fortunate enough to find a reasonably priced piece of land). Why modular and Connecticut Valley Homes? If you have any preconceptions about a modular house being cookie cutter, forget them. Through Connecticut Valley Homes (CVH) we were able to design a completely custom home with all the benefits of the modular construction process and professional expertise of CVH. • We needed to have a known cost. With CVH you start with a base price and can then upgrade from there. What I appreciated about CVH is that their base price products are not bottom of the line but good quality mid-range products. You then go through a color and product selection process where you can choose from a range of included products or decide to upgrade. This process was made very manageable by visiting their East Lyme design center where you can see model homes and the options available. You are provided detailed cost updates throughout the process so you know exactly what the costs would be. • We needed to have a predictable move in date. We couldn’t risk the potential delays of traditional stick built e.g weather related. CVH commits to a house delivery window upon signing-off on the final paper work and then an on-site finishing schedule. From our first meeting with CVH to moving into the house was 1 year. It could have been shorter, but there was an extended period of time getting permits due to wetland considerations on our property. Other considerations with Connecticut Valley Homes • CVH have a team of on-staff experienced professionals to help you through the process, from design, working with the bank and on-site finishing. In particular, working with Dave Cooper out of their Fairfield CT office was a great experience. He was our primary point of contact and was there to guide us through the entire process, responsive to communications and very personable. • CVH connected us with a great general contractor, Dave Richards, who they work with on a regular basis, resulting in a seamless coordination between all the site work needs (septic, foundation, well etc.) and the house delivery and finishing needs. • CVH are committed to making sure you are satisfied with the final product. There were a few items that needed modifying or fixing once the house was delivered. CVH took care of it all. Furthermore, CVH comes back a year after the house was finished to do fix-up work for items that may need attention. We are now happily living in our brand new modular home.
