**★★★★★ — patierno, March 2023**

> Over the years we have done a number of large remodeling projects and worked with many contractors. Ben Butler is simply the best. He is creatively brilliant and also really knows his stuff on the design, engineering and materials side. A true artist, he leads several great teams that are as skilled at high-end, fine finish work as they are at tackling major complex design challenges. He is as polite and friendly as the day is long, and mindful of his client’s budgets. His subs were always the best at what they did, were extremely trustworthy and always left our home clean and tidy. It was a delight working with Ben and Capler Homes and we strongly recommend them for whatever your next project is, big or small.  S&K

**Comment from Capler Homes:**

> Thank you so much for your very kind words. It was my pleasure and privilege to work on your home.

**★★★★★ — HU-201117680, Jan. 2021**

> Capler Homes has helped a handful of my clients and is well known for thinking "outside the box". He can build anything from the most simple plan, to a hugely complex design. Great guy, knows his stuff and his team does it well.

**★★★★★ — Hays + Ewing Design Studio, Nov. 2019**

> HEDS Architects designed a modern and sustainable house in Nelson County, VA that is being built by Ben Butler of Capler Homes.   The concept for the house is a bridge over a ravine. This idea on a very sloped wooded hillside would have shaken many contractors but Ben's enthusiasm and can-do spirit has been key toward moving forward. The project is now under construction and Ben and his team have undertaken a number of building technologies that are anything but standard for home builders. An example: 30" deep steel beams had to be craned in sections and welded from a crane above the steeply sloped ravine.
>
> As a modern house, there are many design details that are unique and Ben has been enthusiastic in taking these on. We have been working with Ben and a supplier to source and detail a unique metal facade system, for example.
>
> The house incorporates sustainable technologies such as triple-pane windows and Ben has both contributed his own knowledge as well as researched the new proposed technologies.
>
> Finally, the quality of the workmanship is excellent. We expect a lot from our contractors and Ben is one of the top builders we've worked with in over thirty years in the profession.
>
> There are few builders who are as keen as Ben to take on new challenges. I look forward to completing this exciting project and working on new projects in future with Ben and his team.
