**★★★★★ — Robert Anderson, Dec. 2025**

> My wife and I just purchased a new-build home from Craig Builders in Belvedere and are pleased to give them our HIGHEST recommendation. The entire team at Craig showed the utmost professionalism and genuine caring, from start to finish. There was never any attempt to "upsell us" on relevant options -- rather, they were dependably informative, objective and supportive throughout the process. Special thanks to Bryant Mortimer, who patiently adjusted the plans as we requested and provided extensive useful advice, and to Ross Wenger, who oversaw the construction. The house itself is a gem -- we couldn't be more pleased. And, Craig has continued to be available as needed, even after closing -- a true mark of professionalism.
> Robert and Eleanor Ruth Anderson, Belvedere

## Community Q&A

**Q: Gorgeous Colors!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you share what the exterior house colors are?

A: Thanks! It's a custom mixed color in the light beige family.  We worked with Sherwin Williams on it, if that helps.

**Q: Please may I know the paint & trim colors?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Beautiful!!

A: Thanks!  It was a custom color we created with Sherwin Williams.  Wish we still had it in our offering so we could share with you.  If you show this photo to a paint store they'll be able to give you some great options.  Hope this helps!

**Q: Love the chair with Ceylan on it.  Where would I find this?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Elaine,  We went back and check the receipts but couldn't find one for this chair.  We're sorry, it's since been sold otherwise we'd check the tag.

**Q: Love bedspread!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where can I get this bedspread?

A: Hmm...tough question.  We do know it was purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond in 2012, what we don't recall is the model number or color.  Sorry :(

**Q: Great island pendants!  Where are they from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Thanks!  They are from Builders Lighting in Charlottesville, Va.

**Q: Exterior colors?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi, what colors did you use for your exterior both siding and trim?

A: Thanks for the question...the trim is a bright white and the siding is a custom Sherwin Williams color that we created locally.
