We were warned about the tiresome selection process and about the difficulty and strained relationships working with home builders during the construction process. Our experience was the complete opposite! We were given lots of personal attention and assistance as we walked through each step in the process. We were partnered with amazing contractors/vendors to guide us through the MANY endless selections. And probably, most importantly, we had constant communication and support, which can not be underestimated. > > A year later, we are still thrilled with the detailed craftsmanship and beauty of our home! Our home has been admired by friends, family, neighbors walking their dogs, and even by other home builders. We have happily shown our home to interested buyers on their behalf, and will continue to recommend them as a wonderful custom home builder in the Houston area. **★★★★★ — Gabe Scott, Feb. 2017** > The Ridgewater team (Rit, Brandon and Joey) was such a pleasure to work with! These guys knocked it out of the park in regards to the home they built for my family... the honesty, constant and consistent communication, expert craftsmanship, and knowledge are just few of the reasons they are one of the best in Houston. I would absolutely hire these guys again to build my next home. **★★★★★ — Aaron Novy, Nov. 2014** > Ridgewater Homes recently built our home in the Heights. After viewing several of the previous homes built by Ridgewater Homes, our decision was made on who we wanted to build our home. Rit, Brandon and Joey made an excellent team during the building process. The team at Ridgewater Homes thoroughly understands the building and construction process and was very clear from the outset on expectations. Their attention to detail and customer satisfaction are what separates them from most any other home builder. When issues arose, they were quick to provide an alternate solution that helped head off any stressful situations that the issue may have caused. If you are building a home in the Heights, or Houston for that matter, I would recommend you give these craftsmen a look. **★★★★★ — rriggs23, Oct. 2014** > Ridgewater homes was an absolute pleasure to work with!! Everyone says building a home is a stressful experience, not with Brandon & Rit. Not only is the final product better than what we imagined, but the entire process was a joy. From the initial meeting we knew we did not even want to interview another builder because we wanted to go with Ridgewater. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Houston area. They are honest, fair, and deliver on their promises. **★★★★★ — clouz84, Sept. 2014** > We had an excellent experience with Ridgewater Homes. They are all such nice guys and truly helped us build our dream home. This was our first time building a house, but they set the standards high as we enjoyed each step of the process. We are hoping to not have to move or build again anytime soon, but if we did, we'd hire the Ridgewater team for sure! **★★★★★ — Cedar Hill Interiors, LLC, April 2014** > Ridgewater Homes built my home last year, and I love it! They were a great team to work with, very professional, and flexible. I can't say enough good things about them. I hired them again when we finished our garage apartment. If I built another house, I would hire them again. **★★★★★ — D. Leigh Martin, IV, July 2013** > Ridgewater Homes puts their heart and soul into each project. The builder is directly involved on a daily basis and his care and concern for the clients happiness is constantly at the forefront of his mind; all while he keeps close checks on his subcontractors quality of craftsmanship in each facet/area of the home building process. His quality of construction is one of finest, if not the finest, in his area. **★★★★★ — angeemarie, June 2013** > Ridgewater Homes Inc. exceeded our expectations in all arenas! The quality, service and creativity was acceptional! They are a true custom builder who take the time to listen and work together with you to build the home of your dreams. We are in awe of our home. Down to the finest detail our house is exaclty what we wanted and more! We appreciated the personal approch the builder takes with his customers, they truly care about you! Ridgewater Homes are unlike any other builder! We had an amazing experence! **★★★★★ — lbcooper2, June 2013** > Rit Johnson with Ridgewater Homes built our dream home in 2012. Rit was very knowledgable on every aspect of the building process. He was always professional and was present on our home site every day. He not only worked well with my husband and me, but also with each of the sub-contractors. Rit's attention to detail was superb. He was honest and realistic about timing and budget. We enjoyed working with Rit and his team and have and would highly recommend him for any home building project. **★★★★★ — bean2326, June 2013** > We would highly recommend Rit and the team at Ridgewater Homes. Its been a pleasure working with them over the past year in realizing the dream of our first home in Houston, Heights. In 2012 while living overseas in London we took a leap of faith to build a house in Houston, 5000 miles away. We needed a builder who could accommodate our busy schedules and appreciate the difficulty with taking on such big project from out of the country. From the first time we met Rit at his own house it was apparent his honest and direct approach to building was exactly what we had been looking for. Since then Rit has been a true partner in our build as we made decisions from the initial design to the smallest finishing details. It was very refreshing to have direct communication with the building team, knowing we would always get answers in terms we could understand. Rit's honest and realistic approach to building meant we could rely on him to help us make decisions and adhere to our budget. It's been a great experience and we cannot wait to move into our new home this summer! **★★★★★ — aggies99, June 2013** > Our experience with Ridgewater was excellent. We bought a 40+ year old home from the original owner so it needed extensive remodeling. To add a little pressure they had 1 month to complete the job before we were due to move in. All estimates were really close and most came in a little less than expected. > > Four years later and the upgrades still look like new. Would and have recommended and would use them again. ## Selected projects - [Traditional Craftsman](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-craftsman-pj-vj~254614) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 29 - Description: This contemporary craftsman-style home, completed in July 2012, seems right at home in the historic Heights neighborhood.
