We are nearing our first full year of owning our new construction custom built home and we couldn’t be happier. While my neighbors who went with different builders continue to bemoan how unreliable and subversive their builders are, Andy (Cherryridge Construction foreman) continues to be attentive and kind with/about any issues we’ve had in and out of the home, issues that simply come along with new builds. > > Chris, the owner, is genuine, and truly cares about each customer. He takes pride in what he builds and stands by his product. Unlike other builders we’ve dealt with in the past, Chris and his team continue to treat us with the same kindness, dignity, and respect that they did when we first sat at the negotiating table nearly a year ago. Their customer service is unparalleled. ❤️ **★★★★★ — HU-450172386, May 2019** > My wife and I were recommended to Cherry Ridge Construction from a mutual friend. We were told they were one of the best home builders in the Council Bluffs area and Chris has been building houses for a long time. We signed our contract 12/21/17 and moved in 11/16/18. Sure building a home can be stressful and of course situations arise that are uncontrollable we knew this going into it. We knew our home wasn’t the only project they had going nor did we think our home should take precedence over someone else’s. We are extremely happy with our home and didn’t want to rush these guys. Chris, Aaron, Andy and the team took a spec home that we loved and customized it into a beautiful custom home. Everyone worked hard and paid attention to detail and if there was a problem they took care of it. We have been in our home 6 months and when we come home at night Cherry Ridge Construction made our dream a reality. Our kids love their new home, memories are being made, we gained new friendships and the home building experience was worth it. If you want a well built home it takes time and we highly recommend Cherry Ridge Construction. Thanks again guys! **★★★★★ — Daniel McIntosh, Aug. 2018** > I have heard great things, and lots of envy from coworkers about this company. They build great quality homes and fair prices. Chris, has answered all our questions and handled any issue with prompt responses. He was willing to work with us when most area builders weren't interested. I will always be thankful for that. We love our home and love the location. Fabulous stone work, attention to detail, I recommend Cherry Ridge Construction to all my friends! Call them up, you won't regret it. **Comment from Cherry Ridge Construction:** > Dan, > > It's been great working with you and your wife. We sincerely appreciate the review!! > > Thanks, > > -Chris **★★★★★ — Dave & Kathy Fizette, June 2018** > We hired Cherry Ridge Construction to oversee the construction of 3 spec homes over the period of 2 years. Chris and his team were very professional and thorough, paying attention to every detail to make sure the projects were done correctly. In each case, Chris sent the neighbors close to the construction a letter informing them that there would be construction activity in the area and encouraged anyone with concerns to call him directly. Chris and the Cherry Ridge team worked tirelessly to provide us with the absolute best result. They were easy to work with, communicated well and we were thrilled with the results. We will only use Cherry Ridge Construction in the future **★★★★★ — bobandjodi, May 2018** > Cherry Ridge was hired to return my lake home to its prior condition and make improvements to and complete upgrade/remodel my basement after 44000 gallons of water entered the house from a busted water line. They performed wall replacement/removal, bath remodels, painting, carpeting, plumbing, installed custom cabinets, tile, wood floor installation, electrical and about everything else needed after the rooms were striped to the subfloor and studs. I could not be happier with the work they performed. Knowing it was a lake house and my desire to have it back to normal for summer, the Cherry Ridge team worked hard to get it done, completing ahead of schedule and on budget. The workers and owner were a pleasure to work with, they were thorough, professional and courteous. **Comment from Cherry Ridge Construction:** > Bob & Jodi, > > Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Working with you on multiple projects and finding great solutions to accommodate you and your family has been a wonderful experience for us. > > Thanks for your continued use and support of Cherry Ridge Construction!! > > Thanks for becoming and being GREAT FRIENDS!! > > Sincerely, > > -Chris > Cherry Ridge Construction **★★★★★ — Jesse Keenan, May 2018** > I have been working with Cherry Ridge Const. for eight years & have nothing but good things to remember. All members of the team are professional & excellent to work with. Every job has gone very well & the end results have been satisfied customers that got what they were expecting. **★★★★★ — Bryan McGee, May 2018** > I have known and done business with Chris Rochleau and Cherry Ridge Construction for 15+ years. Chris is the consummate professional who tackles every job as if the home is his own. There is no-one else I would want working on my projects. **★★★★★ — TIMOTHY BARRETT, May 2018** > Barrett Contracting is a poured foundation contractor who has been in business since 1966 for the past 4 years we have worked for cherry ridge construction . They have been a pleasure to work with. They are very organized and easy to work for. Questions and or concerns are dealt with immediately. always choosing the best solutions to problems even if its not the easiest. > They have a its better to do it the right way now then have a problem latter attitude **★★★★★ — Donn & Judy Bauerly, May 2018** > Cherry Ridge built a custom home for us in 2017. The entire Cherry Ridge staff were so professional thru the entire process. Chris and Aaron have a wealth of experience and offered great input and ideas during the planning piece. Cherry Ridge did not miss a single milestone or commitment. The difference between a good home and an outstanding home is attention to detail, Cherry Ridge's focus and discipline about detail was remarkable; obviously experience and good sub-contractor relationships contribute a lot toward that end. We now live in a home that exceeds our expectations, Cherry Ridge helped make that picture in our heads a reality. > Chris and Aaron have great personalities and were pleasant to work with. Their process is very transparent and open book, there were no surprises. Challenges were met head on and easily solved. There is nothing bad to report here. We definitely recommend Cherry Ridge to build your next home. **Comment from Cherry Ridge Construction:** > Donn & Judy Ann, > > Thank you for choosing Cherry Ridge to build your custom home! We sincerely appreciate your nice words and value the relationship that we've built with you throughout this process. > > You have a beautiful home and we are extremely proud that you chose us to be a part of it!! > > Thanks, > > -Chris > Cherry Ridge Construction **★★★★★ — Gene Hardesty, May 2018** > We hired Chris to build our custom home. I will start out saying, I had talked to multiple people who had homes built for them from different builders, I've never heard from anyone that everything went perfectly without any complaints. We, as a home buyer, expect or want things done that aren't always attainable. With that being said, Chris met or exceeded our expectations. He built us our dream home and gave us things in our home that we didn't know we would be able to get. Some of the best features of our home were things that he suggested or things I had described but Chris delivered on. We love our home and could not be more grateful for what Chris has done for us. That's the builder part of this review, now for the personal. Chris is a GREAT person!!! 2 1/2 years after living in our home, I started to finish my basement myself and had a few questions, I texted Chris for some advice. He called me back and then stopped by a few days later. We spent almost an hour discussing some ideas and then just catching up on each others lives. How many builders would take that much time out of there day, for free, to spend time with no possible job for them??? Chris is a honorable man!!! He truly does what he can to deliver what you want. Not everything will be possible, but it's not for lack of effort on his part. If you are looking for a builder, look no further. You will not be disappointed when you choose Chris. Also, I'd feel terrible if I didn't give a shoot out to Aaron, Chris's right hand man. We met with him a lot over the project and he is just as committed as Chris. We truly consider Chris and Aaron a part of this family. I'd choose them over anyone....EVERYTIME!!!! **Comment from Cherry Ridge Construction:** > Gene, > Thanks for the nice words! We really enjoyed working with you and Missy. It's such a pleasure to get caught back up and walk through the homes the we get to build for our clients. The relationship we have with you is so valuable and I treasure it. > > Thanks Gene, > > Sincerely, > > -Chris > Cherry Ridge Construction **★★★★★ — Michelle Piercy, April 2018** > Cherry Ridge Construction built my custom home and my family and I have enjoyed every square inch of space! We get compliments often on the design, layout and finish quality. Chris and his team were very professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process and afterwards! **★★★★★ — Michael Hernandez, Sept. 2017** > Cherry Ridge Construction has made buying a home worry free. They go out of the way to ensure their customers are cared for. We recently had an issue come up and they were quick to say, "We'll take care of that." We have been in our home for 3 years and they still went out of their way to address the concern. Their customers are treated like family. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. ## Selected projects - [Rustic Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rustic-master-bathroom-pj-vj~2537035) - Location: Plattsmouth, NE - Photos: 5 - [Greenview Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenview-remodel-pj-vj~355938) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Greenview Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenview-exterior-pj-vj~901645) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Washington Spec 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/washington-spec-3-pj-vj~1102485) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 49 - [Basement Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-remodel-pj-vj~355885) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Greenview Living Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenview-living-room-pj-vj~901643) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Bluffs Remodel and Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bluffs-remodel-and-addition-pj-vj~355778) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Lincoln Spec House 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-spec-house-2-pj-vj~370191) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Lincoln Spec House 3](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-spec-house-3-pj-vj~370195) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Lincoln Spec Home 1](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-spec-home-1-pj-vj~364093) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Roosevelt Spec House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roosevelt-spec-house-pj-vj~370194) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Washington Spec House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/washington-spec-house-pj-vj~370169) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Lincoln Spec House 4](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincoln-spec-house-4-pj-vj~370199) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Washington Spec House 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/washington-spec-house-2-pj-vj~370215) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 [See all 14 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/cherry-ridge-construction-pfvwus-pf~1132878426) ## Ideabooks - [10 "Must Have" Kitchen Amenities](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/21049495/list/10-must-have-kitchen-amenities) — 11 ideas - [Chris' Treynor House](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46450797/list/chris-treynor-house) — 2 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/cherryridgeconst) ## Community Q&A **Q: love the faucet! and very cool sink.
