We have been in our home almost 12 years now. I still love it today as much as I did 12 years ago. Eddie listened to what was important to us in the design phase and gave us his honest opinion of what he thought. I really appreciated the fact that he could explain and give examples of why he advised a certain way. Even as recent as getting ready for the holidays this past December, I thought about some of those design decisions that Eddie helped with and felt fortunate that we are still enjoying our home's custom design. One area where Eddie really excels is being able to create a home that is attractive but also comfortable and functional. Eddie is upfront about pricing and timelines. He does a great job of communicating details about the progress as your home is being built. **★★★★★ — vriendeau, June 2016** > Colonial Homecrafters designed and built our house. The house was built as specified and within the timeframe promised. We were extremely pleased with the outcome. **★★★★★ — Marcia sansone, June 2016** > We could not be happier about our custom home built by Colonial Homecrafters, Ltd. My wife and I were used to quality and comfortable living in our previous homes and nothing with our new home has disappointed us! The quality, the flexibility to understand and meet our needs and desires, the attention to details in construction and the customized, finishing touches continues to amaze us everyday! All builders rely heavily on their subcontractors and it was awesome making our selections and the respect that they have for Eddie. We absolutely could not be happier! > -Steve and Marcia **★★★★★ — John Williams, May 2016** > Colonial Homecrafters, Ltd. built us a high quality, efficient home we closed on in the 4th quarter in 2015. All changes and additions to our plans were precisely met. We love our Atlee Station Village home and common its. **★★★★★ — rnp1976, Oct. 2015** > Working with Colonial Homecrafters was a great experience. We are currently in our second home that was built by Eddie. He is a wealth of knowledge regarding quality craftsmanship and building materials. My wife and I have recommended him to many of our friends. **★★★★★ — bboyan, Oct. 2015** > Colonial Home Builders worked closely with me to design my home, including its location on the lot. More than simply building the home, they worked with me afterwards, making sure that everything was working optimally. This year, Eddie Goode designed and built a small addition and make some minor adjustments to the main home so that it looks like it was always meant to be. The quality of the work is outstanding. **★★★★ — Vanessa D'Ambrosia, Feb. 2014** > We built a home with Colonial Homecrafters during the 2012-2013 timeframe. We worked directly with Eddie Goode. We had a good experience. Eddie truly is a custom builder, as he worked with us to build a home that met all our needs. He was easy to work with, easy to contact, willing to listen and make changes as necessary. He finished the home within an acceptable time period. He worked with us to minimize the time we had to live in a hotel, due to an aggressive move-out date of our old home. > > After our move in, Eddie continued to stay engaged to address items on our 1-year list. > > Eddie built a solid home. It was Earthcraft certified and it received an award as the number 10 most energy efficient home of 2012. **★★★★★ — msrivas, Feb. 2014** > We highly recommend Eddie Goode and Colonial Homecrafters to anyone in the Richmond area who is considering building a home. We have known Eddie for 17 years and have built two custom homes with him in the FoxHall neighborhood. > Colonial Homecrafters offers excellent customer service throughout the building process. Eddie is always available to thoroughly answer questions and offer suggestions if requested. His attention to detail is evidenced by his presence on the job site -- usually a daily occurrence. Eddie listens to his clients' ideas and wishes regarding their home and works to transform those wishes into reality. His professional manner and extensive knowledge regarding all facets of the building process result in a decreased level of stress for the homeowners. We have loved both of our custom Colonial Homecrafters homes and highly recommend Eddie Goode as a builder. **★★★★★ — bethsells4u, Feb. 2014** > It is my pleasure to write this personal recommendation for Eddie Goode, President of Colonial Homecrafters, Ltd. I approached Eddie about building my custom home in FoxHall in 2005. Eddie exceeded our expectations in terms of professionalism, knowledge of new construction and how to position our home on a challenging lot so that it became a show stopper. We were looking to achieve an open, yet elegant grand entrance with our three story foyer. His patience in guiding us to achieve the look we desired was exemplary. Eddie took responsibility for all the details, large and small, which decreased our stress level tremendously. > > Very few builders provide their personal cell phone number for immediate access and are seen on the job site multiple times a day like Eddie. His attention to detail and customer service are just a few reasons why his reputation in the Richmond community sets him apart from others in the industry. > > I highly recommend Colonial Homecrafters, Ltd. to anyone looking for a superior custom builder in the Richmond and surrounding areas. > > Beth Lane **★★★★★ — Lisa Shade, Feb. 2014** > We have worked with Colonial Homecrafters twice. > Once to build our first home and just recently to put a very large addition on the home we live in now. Colonial Homecrafters is a builder focused on quality and excellent customer service. We have had pleasant and successful working experiences both times -- we would definitely recommend Colonial Homecrafters and Eddie Goode (and have!!). ## Selected projects - [Goochland Custom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/goochland-custom-pj-vj~7817515) - Location: Manakin-Sabot, VA - Photos: 63 - [Classic Beauty](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-beauty-pj-vj~7361761) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 120 - [Custom Craftsman Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-craftsman-home-pj-vj~7361000) - Location: Manakin-Sabot, VA - Photos: 67 - Description: Custom Craftsman Home - [Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~6504812) - Location: Kinloch, VA - Photos: 39 - Description: Modern Farmhouse located in Goochland County outside of Richmond VA - [Kinloch Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kinloch-custom-home-pj-vj~2793916) - Location: Manakin-Sabot, VA - Photos: 100 - [Custom Georgian Style Home in Sabot Va](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-georgian-style-home-in-sabot-va-pj-vj~435717) - Location: Sabot, VA - Photos: 10 - Description: Georgian Style Home - [Goochland County Custom Stone Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/goochland-county-custom-stone-home-pj-vj~435699) - Location: Manakin-Sabot, VA - Photos: 6 - [River Road Custom European Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-road-custom-european-home-pj-vj~397262) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 24 - Description: Classical European style home that mixes stone, wood and brick to create a unique elevation - [Craftsman Style Home New Kent](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-style-home-new-kent-pj-vj~436575) - Location: Richmond, VA - Photos: 14 - Description: Custom Craftsman home built by Colonial Homecrafters, Ltd. this home was designed to be a small home, 3,600 s.f. that felt like a larger home.
