"We would absolutely recommend OHB to others, in fact, we already have! Both Ryan and Steve are great to work with. They have a fun, relaxed style that works for us. We had heard horror stories from friends who have built new construction, including longer build times, going over budget and poor working relationships. People are always so surprised when we tell them that we have not experienced any of these things! Not only has our home been completed two months ahead of schedule, but Ryan and Steve helped us stay within our budget.

They built us a house that became our home. Even after 10 years we love it. **★★★★★ — User, Jan. 2017** > We had an outstanding experience building with Oakley. > We were initially apprehensive to build a home as we did not feel we had enough time in our busy lives. Oakley is entirely different from other builders and they made the process of building our home very manageable and very enjoyable. > Ryan, Steve, and their team are exceptional; knowledgeable, trustworthy, and always timely in their follow up. There is guidance and support throughout the entire design process. We had a lot of ideas for various elements in the house and they worked through every detail with us until it was right. They are transparent about costs, and we were always able to make informed decisions in regards to our budget. > They delivered us a stunning home on schedule. Their partnership with us and commitment to our house has continued well beyond our closing day. **★★★★★ — K Freely, Dec. 2016** > We built our house with Oakley in 2012. They got it done right on schedule which was important for us considering we had a baby on the way! We have been in the house 4 years now and are very happy with the construction. The punch list was addressed in a timely matter and we really haven't had any major issues since. Oakley was well organized and simplified the building process for us. **★★★★★ — fcam44, Dec. 2016** > We purchased a historic home in need of renovation. After speaking to a number of neighbors looking for the right group to undertake our project - we found a unanimous recommendation in Oakley Home Builders. And we couldn't be happier. Start to finish, Steve, Ryan and the entire team at Oakley led us through a detailed, yet agile process in creating our dream. They were able to anticipate every need and question we had and deliver our project on time, on budget and with a degree of finish that exceeded our expectations. You can feel confident in working with this team! **★★★★★ — fallahj, Nov. 2014** > I highly recommend Oakley Home Builders! Our new home is beautiful. They were extremely helpful with the selections process, and so far I have been very pleased with everything. They did a great job of learning my taste and narrowing selections down, but were totally responsive if I had a different choice in mind. I had several things in particular that I knew I wanted, and they were creative and successful at creating those things. They were also transparent in regards to our budget and kept close track of some of my choices that went over budget. Finally, as small problems have arisen after moving in, they have kept in good touch and addressed the issues promptly. Amazingly, our house was completed well ahead of the deadline! **★★★★★ — kmillereville, June 2014** > Oakley helped us to design and build our home. They were extremely professional and thorough. They have a great relationship with other services in the community, so choosing items such as tile, appliances, lighting, faucets, etc. was extremely easy. During the process, we felt comfortable to share any concerns and they were always immediately addressed. The entire home building process went so smoothly that I would definitely do it again with them. Oakley Home Builders is a wonderful company to work with if you would like to build your dream home! I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2014** > We hired Oakley Home Builders to build our dream home and we were extremely pleased with their professionalism and their astute attention to detail. The quality and craftsmanship provided by Oakley Home Builders has far exceeded our expectations. From day one, they have treated the building process as if it were their own home they were building. Ryan and Steve are extremely easy to work with and they are personally invested in how the home looks on the inside and out. They have met our budget and timeframe to our satisfaction and provided us with the highest quality finishes and a home that we will be proud to own. I would not hesitate recommending them to anyone who is building or renovating a home. **★★★★★ — smc1107, Oct. 2012** > Oakley Home Builders is a team of professionals that focuses on quality work product and client service at a level that is difficult to find anywhere these days, much less in the construction/home building industry. > Oakley does what it takes to get the job done right. Not the cheapest, fastest or most convenient for them - but right for their client. > We were not Oakley's typical client in that we purchased a home that they had already built, but they have stood behind their work every step of the way. They have also gone out of their way to be helpful with question or issues that arise from time to time. They are eager to help, even though they have much bigger projects to attend to. > When you buy an Oakley home, you also get a relationship with a builder that will stay with you well beyond the day they hand you the keys. And that says an awful lot. **★★★★★ — debbiedipert, Sept. 2012** > We met Ryan & Steve, owners of Oakley, 6 years ago. They helped us select a property for a teardown & new build that would work with our wish list. They provided photos, references, and homes they built to help with our decisions. They visited our old home to understand our needs to display a collection in a library setting. Their contractors have worked with them since the formation of Oakley; there is a mutual respect. Our neighbors were com-plimentary about the building process & the result. Ryan & Steve are pro- > fessional, knowledgable young men with great people skills. Our home was complete, as promised, in 7 months. Throughout the process, they helped us get "more bang for our buck". Ryan helped with selections of each phase, providing an assurance & confidence. The follow-up for repairs due to settling after one year (minimal) were done as pleasantly as the building process. Ryan & Steve have become friends, and if we were to build again, we would most certainly choose Oakley! **★★★★★ — john4808, Sept. 2012** > Oakley Home Builders is owned and managed by creative professionals who build homes using state of the art technique and with quality craftsmanship. From design through close out, our project ran smooth, quick and on budget. The trade contractors and suppliers used were prompt, clean and easy to deal with. We could not be happier with our new home and the entire construction experience. **★★★★★ — nelsongr, Sept. 2012** > Oakley Home Builders builds a very high quality home with beautiful design features. The people that you deal with during the buying process as well as during the punch list/maintenance process are highly qualified and extremely professional. The company seems to value its clients and strives to address all of the big and small issues that arise with new construction. Oakley Home Builders treats its clients with respect and excels at open communication between everyone involved. I have been very impressed with all aspects of buying and living in an Oakley home, and I would recommend them to anyone for any project. **★★★★★ — csamatas, Sept. 2012** > Outstanding builder! The quality of work and professionalism go above and beyond. From the moment you sign on with Oakley, they make you feel as though you are their only and most important client. Oakley has made the remodel of our home virtually stress free and fun! We would highly recommend them to anyone considering a remodel or new home. ## Selected projects - [Western Springs - Woodlands](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/western-springs-woodlands-pj-vj~92271) - Location: Western Springs, IL - Photos: 2 - [Elmhurst - Kenilworth French Transitional](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elmhurst-kenilworth-french-transitional-pj-vj~909343) - Location: Elmhurst, IL - Photos: 24 - [Hinsdale - Countyline](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hinsdale-countyline-pj-vj~70166) - Location: Hinsdale, IL - Photos: 9 - [Glen Ellyn - Nantucket Style](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glen-ellyn-nantucket-style-pj-vj~25020) - Location: Glen Ellyn, IL - Photos: 42 - Description: This amazing home is where you find that elegance meets rustic.

A: Hello Kristy - we source the bulk of our hardware through Brakur Custom Cabinetry. **Q: Just stunning! Love the staircase and natural light!** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you have a picture from the exterior as to how you fit the windows in the stairwell? A: @hgtvrules - Thanks! Glad you like this image. To see an example of what this looks like outside follow this link and view the third image from the bottom (blue home). You'll see a set of stacked windows on the side of the house - the bottom one is the window you see. The top one is placed at the landing above. Hope this helps. https://www.houzz.com/projects/2190141/custom-home-exteriors **Q: Can you tell the color of the cabinets? thank you.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: This is decor white, but it's a custom color from our cabinet manufacturer - not one readily available. **Q: Is the counter top quartz or quartzite?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello goldenoaker - this is actually a white carrera marble surface. **Q: Stain/wood** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you happen to know how many coats of stain were put on to create this color? I've looked at Gunstock stain before and has so many colors it can turn out to be. Also do you know the type of wood the island was? A: It takes several coats from our custom finisher to create the stain. The kitchen island cabinets are maple. **Q: Can I use your image in my blog page?Thanks** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hello!
