We are so happy with the results of the project. Jeff, the owner, and Brian our project manager were responsive and constantly on-site to ensure the project was done right the first time and on time. They renovated our whole first floor, primary suite, and finished our lower level. > Jeff also helped refer us to a designer they trusted and she nailed our project vision. Shout to Kathy Israel at Accent on Cabinets who provided us with a comprehensive design plan and also was able to provide custom cabinetry for us on the project as well. > We would highly recommend REA Homes to anyone looking for a custom builder to complete a high-quality home renovation and lower level build out in St. Louis!! **★★★★★ — C. Bennett Building Supply, May 2016** > Very professional. All T's crossed and all I's dotted. Great follow up. Jeff was very thorough. Jay is on top of everything. Great experience! - Steve D. , Builder/ Retail Salesperson **★★★★★ — The Sound Room, May 2014** > R.E.A. Homes may be the best home builder in St. Louis. A brief conversation with any of their previous clients will tell you volumes about the exceptional service they provide. R.E.A. Homes is unique as they lead the way in St. Louis “Green” home building with advanced Energy Star and L.E.E.D. certified homes. For anyone looking to have a pleasant experience building their dream home, I highly recommend choosing R.E.A. Homes to craft your custom home because they will construct your home while incorporating modern building techniques, performing superb craftsmanship, and controlling your budget. **★★★★ — ccwik, April 2014** > Working with the R.E.A. Homes team has been the saving grace of this house along with the fact that Jeff was there from start to finish, day in and day out. Not only have we already recommended R.E.A. Homes, but we will again in the future. > \- Tricia & Craig **★★★★★ — Beck/Allen Cabinetry, April 2014** > Beck/Allen Cabinetry has worked with R.E.A. Homes for about five years. We are continually impressed with Jeff Bogard and his team and their understanding of luxury home design. They are everything a homeowner could hope for in a custom builder; they are extremely organized, they specify products of the highest quality and establish a great rapport with every customer. We would absolutely recommend R.E.A. to anyone considering a custom home or renovation. **★★★★★ — marcbluestone, April 2014** > I am writing as a professional that has been engaged by homeowners to provide consulting and construction oversight of Energy Star and Green program certified homes. > Having worked with quite a few custom home builders in the St. Louis area, it is my pleasure to recommend Jeff Bogard and REA Homes. > Jeff brings a unique perspective to the home buying and building process. > He builds custom luxury homes that deliver on his clients dreams, are built as well as they look, and take a leadership position from a building science, energy efficiency, durability and quality perspective. > My observation of too many builders is that they lack an in-depth knowledge of how a home and its systems work. In too many cases they do not know what products or services to choose for a home and they make their decisions based on choosing the low bid. As a result, builders tend to function as 'traffic cops' meaning that their main priority is to move subcontractors into and out of a job expeditiously and cheaply. > While getting a low price is great, it offers no benefit if it is not the right service or quality. > Jeff Bogard is a builder that 'gets it.' I regularly see him at educational seminars and have experienced first hand his dedication to understanding how to build an exceptional home. > While many builder focus mostly on the things you see (like granite countertops and beautiful floors), Jeff does that PLUS he adds a ton of attention to things you don't see like heating and cooling systems, insulation systems, plumbing and more. He is an expert at paying attention to the details that ultimately affect the comfort, energy efficiency, health and safety of the home. > Finally, over the years I have seen the processes that different builders employ to move a house from concept to design to construction and occupancy. > Too often I have observed conflict and disappointment for many home buyers because of the attitude and priorities of their builder. > Building a custom luxury home is one of the biggest emotional and financial commitments a person will ever make and it makes me sad to see people discover they picked the wrong builder when they are halfway through a project. > More than anything, what motivates me to write this review is that I have never seen that happen with Jeff Bogard and REA Homes. > He has structured a process that aligns his interests with those of his client and it seems like his only priority is to make sure his clients are well taken care of and fairly treated. > That is what makes my company (SmartHouse) so happy to help Jeff create incredible homes and why I am so confident to recommend him to you. **★★★★★ — joegira, March 2014** > The team at R.E.A. Homes has been wonderful to work with on our home-building project. They pay close attention to detail and thoroughly investigate all the possibilities and options for just about everything; especially the 'green' aspects of our new home. We feel like we got the best home that custom fit our needs. The entire process with building the home was smooth. It's nice working with an honest and respectable contractor. R.E.A. Homes is very efficient and organized in terms of their timeline; they are always right on schedule. We highly recommend REA without reservation! **★★★★★ — Srote & Co Architects \| Planners \| Interiors, March 2014** > We have had the pleasure of working on a professional level with REA Homes as their Architect on several successful projects. REA provides their clientele with a preeminent level of service. They have assembled a talented group of subcontractors consistently culminating in comfortable, high-performance, sustainable, luxury homes. **★★★★★ — frankven, March 2014** > "We love our new R.E.A. home! It is everything Frank and I could have imagined and dreamed. Because of his construction knowledge and experience Jeff was able to pull everything together. One of the biggest selling points for us was Jeff's excellent communication skills. He was in constant contact with us thoroughly explaining and reviewing every step of the building process. We had several meetings during the build updating the construction progress, any necessary changes or additions and budget reviews. Jeff also had an excellent relationship with the sub-contractors and suppliers used for the build. We are so happy with the outcome of our house and have already recommended R.E.A. Homes to three people we know". > \- Beth & Frank **★★★★★ — ljdinga, March 2014** > The process was accurate, transparent, and the finished product was just amazing! We chose Jeff Bogard & R.E.A. Homes because of the quality of the home we could get within our budget constraints. We are so excited because we were able to incorporate many green aspects to our home. REA built our home with great insulation, a geo thermal system and solar panels that continue to 'pay back' as we save money on our utility bills. The air quality is unlike any other home we have ever lived and our allergies are much better. > \- Lisa & John **★★★★★ — thetenutas, Feb. 2014** > R.E.A Homes was just a pleasure to work with; on every level they exceeded our expectations and made building our dream home an enjoyable process. They are committed to understanding and full-filling clients needs and go the extra mile to make sure each stage of construction is carefully thought out and implemented. When it came to building green, Jeff Bogard and his team were informative, knowledgeable, and took pride in making sure our family was properly taken care of. ## Selected projects - [Modern Farmhouse - Ladue, MO](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-ladue-mo-pj-vj~7172565) - Location: St. Louis, MO - Photos: 19 - Description: R.E.A.
