**★★★★★ — HU-76365304, Jan. 2025**

> Fifteen years ago my wife and I decided to find someone to build us a log home and bunkie.
> We found an ideal property and then we proceeded to look for someone to trust and build the log home of our dreams.
> The first 2 companies we met felt uncomfortable. A lifetime in business have given me what I’d like to believe are good observation skills.
> Then we met Shawn. It felt completely comfortable in the way our first meeting went. His design ideas along with our made the process fun.
> Everything went on smoothly without any issues that were difficult.
> The completion was on schedule with the result results being stellar.
> To this day, without exception, our favourite endeavour with my wife was this build. We even won a prestigious award.
> If you are on the market for a custom home…..Destination Luxury Homes would be a great choice. They are honest, qualified, and creative.
> Good luck and have fun with it.

**★★★★ — Moe Cussen, Jan. 2025**

> In January 2017, I commenced building my dream home. I should mention at the outset that this was the first time I had ever undertaken a project of this magnitude. The one thing however that I did have going for me, was the fact that I had spent over 30 years envisioning what I wanted my dream home to be, so when it came time to start the project, I had a very clear idea of what I wanted.
> That’s the good news. Unfortunately, as the project got started, it became very clear, that although I had invested all of my time in defining what I wanted my dream home to look like, I had not spent any time thinking about how I was going to get it built.
> When I decided to go forward with this project, friends who had experience in this area, all told me the same thing – “get ready for the worst two years of your life”!
> I am now moved into my home and I can honestly say that the finished product is even better than what I had hoped for, and more importantly, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Why was that the case?
> The answer to that question is simple – Shawn Hunter.
> I can’t believe how fortunate I was to have chosen Shawn to coordinate my home building experience.
> Looking back, I now realize that finding champion builder was probably the most important decision to be made in the entire process. Why? Because a bad one, can screw up a good vision and make your life very miserable. On the other hand, a great one great can assist in your vision, enhance it and ensure it runs smoothly.
>
> Shawn possesses all the qualities you want in a strong building partner. He has a tremendous amount of experience and a solid reputation within the industry. He can also hit the curve ball in terms of dealing with unexpected situations that come his way. He is trustworthy, flexible, fair and creative and always figures out a way to get things done.
>
> His years of experience in the industry provide him with an insight into the “who’s who” of the best trades people out there. The team he has assembled are simply amazing. They shared my vision, were constantly willing to accommodate my requests and more importantly, offered suggestions that would make my dream home better. They were easy to work, are very good guys and have all become friends.
>
>
> In summary, 5 words – Shawn Hunter is your man.

> Dealing with Shawn (Sensitive Information Hidden) was easy professional very happy with my log home and highly recommend him . John Kenny
