We continue to get compliments on Jonathon's work and requests for his contact information from friends that are planning a renovation. Jonathon was extremely helpful in ensuring that our vision was reflected in the completed project. But he also made excellent suggestions, both in terms of technical building considerations and interior design. It was a pleasure working with him - he was extremely transparent with additional costs that were required and completed the job within the time frame he estimated and at the cost quoted. i would wholeheartedly recommend this company for anyone considering a renovation. **★★★★★ — Mike Albanese, Nov. 2014** > Great people to deal with very precise and very responsive. Always a pleasure to deal with Jonathon and Elsa. I've provided appliances for them for 3 homes **★★★★★ — spetrinjac, Oct. 2013** > My wife and I purchased a beautiful custom built home from this builder. We have now been in the house just over a year and could not be happier. The quality and design is second to none. Excellent home builder who we have and would recommend to anyone. > Dennis (Stephanie) **★★★★★ — Stephen and Dave, Oct. 2013** > We have just recently moved into our custom built home designed and built by Urban Development Inc. We are totally amazed by the workmanship and the exceptional quality in the house. The transitional style of the home design is really ahead of its time. It is creative, modern and yet very elegant. You just don't see a lot of this unique style in today's traditional custom built homes. > > Jonathan and his team is extremely organized and professional. They put a lot of attention to the fine details on the finishes. We were lucky to be involved in part of the building process and got to see the high quality of materials used, even behind the walls. They take pride of their work, and the philosophy is simply Quality for a solid built home. The special touches are the beautiful coffered ceilings and the architectural walls throughout the house which are just superb. The real highlight of the house is the custom built wine wall /cooler in our dining room. Lots of compliments from our friends and neighbors. What a smart idea! > > They are very responsive to any questions and concerns. In fact they went above and beyond the "call of duty". > We are incredibly pleased with our new home. Not only are they great builders, we can now count on them among our friends. We definitely wouldn't hesitate to recommend Urban Development to anyone. **★★★★★ — napavalleykitchens, Sept. 2013** > We at Napavalley kitchens are proud to work with a custom home builder like urban developments .We work with many custom home builders but none have come close to the quality of urban developments. **★★★★★ — diana365, Sept. 2013** > Urban Development Inc is a service driven company. They are professionals through and through and take great pride and care in their work. Their designs are unique and yet classic; the quality that they put into their homes is unparalleled; and the attention to detail is beyond compare. We were so fortunate to have our home built by the Urban Development team and we have enjoyed our relationship with them since having moved into our home over two and a half years ago. One of the greatest things about their approach is that the design work is such that there is very little additional decor that needs to be done once you have moved in. The stylized elements that they incorporate are unto themselves pieces of art. > > We have enjoyed our home thoroughly and have not had any issues nor do we expect to. Any questions that we have had over the past few years have always been attended to promptly and with a high level of professionalism not to mention care. We would recommend Urban Development to anyone. **★★★★★ — tginfo, Sept. 2013** > Superbly crafted, unique homes that are an absolute wonder to behold.
