Cary (owner) was quick to respond to our initial inquiries, explaining the custom home build process and always clearly communicating promptly. Dan (VP) was very easy to work with during the build process and worked with us as our project evolved through the build process. Lisa was extremely helpful in updating the Change Orders and costing. Working with the entire Viking team was a pleasure and they showed patience as we made in build changes. We also had the luck of building during the initial Covid quarantine period which delayed our build but Viking worked hard to get our build materials and finish our project as best the could in a very challenging time. We would certainly recommend Viking to our friends. > > AKtc **Comment from Viking Custom Homes:** > It was a pleasure working with your family. You are such wonderful people to work for. The house looks fantastic as your design choices are spot on! We wish you many years of happiness there. - All of us at Viking **★★★★★ — Rodney Hamon, April 2020** > Had a large custom home built by Viking homes. They were sooooooo easy to work with! Very responsive, accommodated a lot of last minute changes. Have not really had any significant issues w/ the house - VERY WELL CONSTRUCTED!! My gas and electric bill for this house (4200+ SF) is LESS than the gas and electric bill for my previous home (2000 SF). Would HIGHLY recommend!! **Comment from Viking Custom Homes:** > Hi Rodney, thank you for the kind words! You and Shelley were great to work with, the house looks great! Cary! **★★★★★ — Matthew Rout, Feb. 2020** > Viking is in a league of their own. After searching/meeting with several builders in the area, no one came close to their customer service, expertise, and craftsmanship. The folks at Viking are no-nonsense, straight to the point, and truly care about perfecting their product. We highly recommend Viking. **★★★★★ — Todd Shatzer, Jan. 2020** > The Team at Viking did an excellent job building our house. Communication is the key and they do that very well. The level of craftmanship is second to none. **★★★★★ — Gail Koebke, May 2017** > Such a wonderful company to work with. We contracted Viking Custom Homes to build our custom dream house on land that we already owned. The professionalism of the entire staff at Viking is beyond compare. We gave Viking rough drawings of what we wanted the outside of our house to look like, and the floor plan we wanted. Viking passed these on to the architect, and in a short time we had a complete set of plans to build our house. We were kept in the loop during every step of our home being built. All of our questions were patiently answered, and we had plenty throughout the process. The entire experience was wonderful. We would call Viking Custom Homes in a heartbeat if we ever needed to have any renovation or new construction done in the future. There are not enough good words to say about the Viking team!!!!! **★★★★★ — Rachel Gilliam, Nov. 2016** > My husband & I built our home through Viking that was completed in March of 2016 and we could not be happier with the end result. Throughout the process of building our new home, the Viking team was great to work with. Cary showed us the lot (that we purchased through them) and really helped us come up with and finalize a custom design for our forever home. We ended up using one of Viking's floor plans (the Coventry) but changed it to modify the number of bedrooms and bathroom layout, as well as a complete front facade change. Through the actual building process, Dan was always on top of things and ensured meticulous construction according to the custom designs that we came up with and offered great suggestions along the way, including the idea of adding a breakfast bar in the kitchen that we love. My husband has extremely high standards when it comes to construction (he has experience with building and renovations) and even he was impressed every time we visited the home while it was being built. Even after moving in, the team has been extremely responsive with any question that we have. The whole team is amazing and we would highly recommend Viking to anyone looking to build their dream home. They really are the experts in this industry. We are so thankful for Viking for making our dreams come true in our new home. **★★★★★ — Janet Boyce, Oct. 2016** > We hired Viking Custom Homes in 2013 and had a wonderful building experience with them. We were not in a rush to complete the project so we were able to work with them to create many custom details that we have always wanted in a home. We have lived in the home for a little over a year now, and we still love the home. The quality and craftsmanship are undeniable. Everyone who comes into our home loves it. Viking Custom Homes was able to make suggestions and changes without adding stress and delay to the project. They are a truly wonderful company that stands behind their work and delivers a high-quality, custom home. We highly recommend them to others seeking this type of experience. **★★★★★ — Quality Kitchens and More, Oct. 2016** > We've orked with Cary and his team for many years. I know when they're working on a project with a customer they'll soon be referring their family and friends to Viking as well. > Unparralelled attention to detail and customer service. **★★★★★ — Jeffery Kenney, Oct. 2016** > Cary and Dan are true professionals who do things the right way. > Very energy efficient homes. Hands on customer service friendly **★★★★★ — Kerry Moore, Oct. 2016** > As my testimony to whoever reads this post, the Viking team did an amazing job as evident by the detailed craftsmanship and attention to detail. Although we've only been in our house for 2 years, this house already feels like a home. I'm telling you, the carpet looks awesome, the painted walls look great, the hardware floors look outstanding, and the above and beyond standards applied in the garage finish. If you need further testimony, the Stanley Steamer guys cleaning the couches thought our house was the best looking new house they had ever seen. **★★★★★ — alpizzillo, Oct. 2016** > As soon as I met Cary I knew he was the one I wanted to build my house. You can immediately tell he takes pride in all his work and you are getting the best quality in all aspects. I would strongly recommend working with Viking Custom Homes! **★★★★★ — Stephanie Bass, Oct. 2016** > We have been working with Viking Custom Homes for approximately two years on a custom build on our own land. Cary Cumberland has been extremely patient and supportive throughout the difficult and long process of preparing our land to build on. He and Dan are always available and ready to answer any questions we have. Sandy is great at keeping us organized with our selections. We trust Viking homes' quality and commitment and cannot wait to move into our new home! ## Selected projects - [Vista Greene Model Spec Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vista-greene-model-spec-home-pj-vj~2395906) - Location: New Windsor, MD - Photos: 47 - [Route 32 Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/route-32-custom-home-pj-vj~1982175) - Location: Sykesville, MD - Photos: 8 - [Vista Greene Modified Hampton Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vista-greene-modified-hampton-model-pj-vj~3026664) - Location: New Windsor, MD - Photos: 39 - [Meadow Trail Lane Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meadow-trail-lane-custom-home-pj-vj~1982184) - Location: Glenwood, MD - Photos: 2 - [Guilford Road Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/guilford-road-custom-home-pj-vj~1982208) - Location: Fulton, MD - Photos: 3 - [Howard Lodge Dr. Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/howard-lodge-dr-custom-home-pj-vj~1982162) - Location: Sykesville, MD - Photos: 2 - [Stonecrest Dr. Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stonecrest-dr-custom-home-pj-vj~1982189) - Location: Ellicott City, MD - Photos: 3 - [Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-pj-vj~1982221) - Location: West Friendship, MD - Photos: 4 - [Trotter Rd.
