After the interview, we knew Sweaney Custom Homes was the builder/contractor for our new home. Todd and his wife Dana are very organized and have the guidelines and time table for the homeowner to follow in making the decisions during construction of the home. The communications from Todd and Dana to my wife and I were timely, professional, and second to none. Quality of construction is excellent and Todd's architecture design expertise allowed us to make several changes to his original plan, including a several custom ideas. We highly recommend Sweaney Custom Homes. ### All 22 reviews **★★★★★ — Gurinder Singh, Aug. 2026** > We had an amazing experience building our custom home with Sweaney Custom Homes in Sterling at Belcourt. From the very beginning, Todd and his wife were always present and involved throughout the entire planning, design and building process. They were easy to reach, and willing to answer all the questions my family and I had throughout the entire process. Building a custom home comes with making a lot of decisions, which can be very stressful. However, Todd and his wife made this entire process extremely easy to navigate with how every decision was divided up. They showed genuine care and interest in every aspect which was evident through the attention to detail given at every step along the way. We couldn’t be happier with our home or with our experience. Todd, Dana, and Ryder helped turn what can be a stressful experience into something we enjoyed. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a builder that puts effort and time into their work. **★★★★★ — HU-700809413, Aug. 2026** > My wife and Me are very happy and very satisfied with experience of building new custom home with Sweaney Custom Homes.

Stated as energy saving home and Third party checking for energy safe certification. But HVAC system had neglected one room without duct connecting vent. Only you would find out after you tried to replace new HVAC unit. Stated as using quality wood but you would get crack wood and roof would have sacking. > My advise was Todd Sweaney ( He was OK ) but be careful with his team. > I can support my claim with picture if you want **Comment from Sweaney Custom Homes, Inc.:** > Andrew, thank you for sharing your concerns. The disconnected HVAC duct should have been identified and corrected during construction, and we regret that it was overlooked. The issue had already been resolved when it was brought to our attention, so we were unable to inspect the original condition ourselves. > > We also reviewed the photographs you provided of the roof framing. The visible checking and cracking appeared consistent with the normal drying and aging of wood, but photographs alone cannot adequately evaluate a reported roof sag. > > I also regret that I did not see your Houzz review when it was posted. We take responsibility for the disconnected duct and sincerely hope the home has otherwise served you well over the past two decades. **★★★★★ — Bart Tipton, March 2020** > Todd Sweaney is the premier luxury builder in Bakersfield.

Also, in the area where this house was built, is there not a need to vent the soffiting or is the attic roof foamed? Thanks A: The decks have area drains/floor drains. The roof is vented with dormer vents on the roof and continuous eave vents in the patio ceilings. I hope that helps. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-17.*
