They are extremely professional and personable. As evidenced in their award winning work shown on Houzz, they bring tremendous experience and creativity to every project they undertake, large or small. > > Hill Custom Homes clientele can expect comprehensive budgeting and a very hands on approach that can provide peace of mind taking a project from concept to moving in. I recommend them first for people looking to build or remodel in the areas they cover. **★★★★★ — schuler555, April 2014** > We did a nearly complete remodel of the interior of our home. Hill Custom Homes did an excellent job. Our home is beautiful. They provided us with professional before and after pictures that are lovely. The project won several awards through the Master Builders Association of Pierce County. I was impressed with how well they worked through the inevitable "issues" that come up in any project of this size. They provided resolution in every scenario. I would recommend them. **★★★★★ — Heather Witte, May 2013** > Hill Custom Homes completed a buildout of my unfinished basement that exceeded my expectations. It was a true pleasure working with Kari in the design and planning stages. She took in all my ideas and wish lists and tweaked them to end up with a beautiful space. Jeff was great at sticking to budgets and time lines. He was great to work with even when we threw him curve balls! His team was always polite and patient. They even cleaned up after themselves! I highly enjoyed the whole process and can't wait to start a new project with them. **★★★★★ — Roger Turk/Northlight Photography, April 2013** > As an architectural/interior photographer, I have worked with Jeff and Hill Custom Homes for 20 plus years and have had the pleasure of photographing many of their beautiful homes. > Since I work with many builders and have photographed 1000's of homes, I know quality when I see it. Hill Custom Homes are well thought out from floor plan to appliances. Whether it's a new home or remodeled all of their projects represent true craftsmanship and design. Jeff and his team at Hill Custom Homes are true professionals and always a pleasure to work with! > > Roger Turk > Northlight Photography ## Selected projects - [Lower Level Remodel- Best of Houzz 2013, 2012 MBA REX Award Winner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lower-level-remodel-best-of-houzz-2013-2012-mba-rex-award-winner-pj-vj~50575) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 5 - Description: Voted Best of Houzz 2013 for Basement Remodel - [Downtown Gig Harbor Custom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-gig-harbor-custom-pj-vj~511767) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 8 - [Contemporary Master Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-master-retreat-pj-vj~157085) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 5 - [Tacoma Craftsman Kitchen - 2011 MBA REX Award Winner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tacoma-craftsman-kitchen-2011-mba-rex-award-winner-pj-vj~111059) - Location: Tacoma, WA - Photos: 4 - [Classic Carrara Guest Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-carrara-guest-bath-pj-vj~111053) - Location: Tacoma, WA - Photos: 2 - Description: Updated the main floor guest bathroom - [Studio Home Showroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/studio-home-showroom-pj-vj~511802) - Location: University Place, WA - Photos: 9 - Description: Opened in Fall of 2013 - the new Studio Home showroom features the Flooring Gallery, HGTV Home Center, Cabinet Gallery, Tile + Stone Gallery and more! - [Contemporary Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~50571) - Location: Tacoma, WA - Photos: 3 - [Tacoma Master Retreat- 2013 MBA REX Award Winner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tacoma-master-retreat-2013-mba-rex-award-winner-pj-vj~210959) - Location: Tacoma, WA - Photos: 9 - [Deck Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/deck-remodel-pj-vj~89018) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 2 - [Classic Black & White Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-black-and-white-kitchen-pj-vj~210954) - Location: Tacoma, WA - Photos: 3 - [Tacoma Master Spa Retreat - 2012 MBA REX Award Winner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tacoma-master-spa-retreat-2012-mba-rex-award-winner-pj-vj~50573) - Location: tacoma, WA - Photos: 2 - [Traditional Main Level Renovation- 2013 MBA REX Award Winner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-main-level-renovation-2013-mba-rex-award-winner-pj-vj~210981) - Location: tacoma, WA - Photos: 12 - [Steam Shower Master Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steam-shower-master-retreat-pj-vj~143618) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 13 - [Traditional Kitchen Reno](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchen-reno-pj-vj~111058) - Location: Tacoma, WA - Photos: 4 - [Exteriors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exteriors-pj-vj~50580) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 14 - [The Denali](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-denali-pj-vj~111179) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 6 - [Lombard Condos](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lombard-condos-pj-vj~241156) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 30 - [The Millenium Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-millenium-home-pj-vj~89005) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 17 - [Street of Dreams '96](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/street-of-dreams-96-pj-vj~111204) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 10 - [Street of Dreams 2000](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/street-of-dreams-2000-pj-vj~111214) - Location: Gig Harbor, WA - Photos: 19 [See all 36 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/hill-custom-homes-pfvwus-pf~1451285400) ## Ideabooks - [Johnson Master](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54598224/list/johnson-master) — 7 ideas - [hillcustomhomes's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/33082879/list/hillcustomhomes-s-ideas) — 14 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/hillcustomhomes) ## Community Q&A **Q: Countertop** *(in Photo Questions)* Who manufactures and what color is the countertop?
