John was wonderful to work with from beginning to end, but even more importantly, he has ALWAYS been there for us in the last five years. He has answered every text or call with any question or concern we may have had. This, to me, is a BIG thing! > > I have been a Realtor in the area for over 20 years. I see why John has such an excellent reputation, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering building. John is kind and genuinely cares for his clients. He pays close attention to detail and listens to your wants and needs. I am always so proud to say I have a John Cotner-built home! > > Thanks for a great home John! > Noeline Etchamendy **★★★★★ — HU-2236780, April 2021** > Long overdue review. Cotner Building did an incredible job on our home. We have been in for 4 months and absolutely love it. From the beginning John was extremely easy to work with. He was accessible, genuine, and knowledgeable. Even with several projects going on at the same time as ours, he was always quick to respond to questions, change requests, or just update us on the progress. His subs were professional, respected the job site, and met their deadlines. His job supervisor (Mike) was meticulous to detail and kept an open line of communication throughout the process. If you’re also looking to build your dream home you have to give John a call. **★★★★★ — Steven Booth, May 2020** > John and Kristie Cotner and all associates of Cotner Building Co. were outstanding and professional to work with through the construction process of our new home in Eagle and afterwards for ongoing support. Unlike so many builders their commitment to build the project on schedule and on budget was outstanding. We give them the HIGHEST recommendation for the quality of their work and value for the $$. We strongly appreciate their commitment to our satisfaction! > Steve and JoAnn Booth > Eagle, ID **★★★★★ — Carly Pannullo, Dec. 2018** > John Cotner is a phenomenal builder and we love our new home. The communication was excellent and the detail to his work is second to none! I highly recommend John Cotner to build your dream home!! **★★★★★ — Lynn Diaz, Dec. 2018** > John Cotner is the premier builder in Nampa, Idaho! > Loved working with John from the design of the house to all other aspects of building our dream home. > Enjoyed working with his design team from picking paint colors to carpet, cabinets, doors etc. > I would highly recommend Cotner Building Company. > Honest, hard working that you can trust. **★★★★★ — Jane and Joan The Golden Girls, Dec. 2018** > John is a stickler for detail and is well versed with ageing in place construction. His contractors and project manager are helpful to work with and are all very good craftsmen. We particularly enjoyed working with the vendors for appliances, bathroom fixtures, flooring and tile surfaces, lighting, etc. They know their products and have all the new bells and whistles that you might see on HGTV! We have a dual master suite home, which is hard to find in any market. Once you determine the plans, budgets and timeline John sticks to it! When our family and friends come for a visit their first impression when walking through the front door is WOW. That pretty much says it all. **★★★★★ — HU-641683321, Dec. 2018** > John and Kristie Cotner have been wonderful and easy to work with, our home building process was nearly seamless. We highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Marcee Dean, Dec. 2018** > We are on the last phase of our build. It was been easy every step of the way. John is very organized and pays attention to detail. He is easy to work with as well as his sub contractors. Living in Portland, Oregon and building in Idaho has not been an issue at all. John’s communication has been exceptional. He even set up a website where we could see the progress of the build. We highly recommend John and his team. **★★★★★ — Tammy Searles, Dec. 2018** > Cotner Building (John & Kristie) did a great job on our custom home. I can't say enough about how easy they were to work with! The build was perfectly designed, scheduled, managed, and delivered on time. They have long standing relationships with their subcontractors, in an especially aggressive housing market that type of loyalty to a builder speaks volumes, and we benefited from the high quality of their workmanship. This is the third home we've built, but the first with Cotner Building. It was a fantastic experience with an outstanding home that exceeded all of our expectations. **★★★★★ — John and Stevi Raff, Sept. 2018** > We just cannot say enough AMAZING things about our experience with Cotner Building Company. From the beginning, John and Kristie made the process easy, and stress free. We quickly knew that we were in great hands! Not only did they help us design a plan that perfectly fit the needs of our family, they took our vision and far exceeded our expectations of workmanship and quality of our new home. They communicated quickly, addressed every concern, and built a relationship of trust, which was incredibly important to us. We are so thankful that we found the perfect builder for us, and that we are now living in our dream home! We would recommend Cotner Building Company 1000 times over! **★★★★★ — Sharon and Woody Travis, Dec. 2016** > We are so thrilled that we picked John Cotner to build our house. The quality and attention to detail was the major reason we chose John Cotner Builders. The professionals we worked with were polite and eager to answer our questions. We moved into our new home two weeks ago and have received many compliments from our friends and relatives regarding the workmanship. All deadlines and budget amounts were met. We couldn't be happier. **★★★★★ — Bryan Sweesy, Dec. 2016** > John Cotner is extremely professional and knowledgeable. > We found our building experience to be very smooth. The finished product is absolutely amazing. Much nicer than anything we could have imagined. > Definitely recommend using Cotner Building Co. ## Selected projects - [Lone Star Hickory Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lone-star-hickory-ranch-pj-vj~7798147) - Location: Nampa, ID - Photos: 22 - [Round Rock Nest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/round-rock-nest-pj-vj~7339077) - Location: Nampa, ID - Photos: 23 - [Hidalgo Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hidalgo-ranch-pj-vj~7339081) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 21 - [The Monarch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-monarch-pj-vj~7339084) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Sawtooth Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sawtooth-model-pj-vj~2982913) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Brentbrook Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brentbrook-farmhouse-pj-vj~5508681) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Sawtooth Parade](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sawtooth-parade-pj-vj~5807500) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Antioch Model](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/antioch-model-pj-vj~1141017) - Location: Nampa, ID - Photos: 23 - Description: At Cotner Building Company we are ready to help make your dream home a reality.
