While we faced many challenges during the building process, the final outcome is spectacular. > Special kudos to Jeff Melillo! **★★★★★ — Alex Francine, Oct. 2019** > Our first Horan home was a beautiful 8 bedroom Victorian that we loved so much we chose Horan Building to construct our new custom home in 2019. HBC is great because of the incredible construction quality, particularly of the custom millwork; because they finish jobs quickly, and because we knew first hand that Mark stands behind his work. We love the home HBC constructed for us. Mark's team is great. His finish carpenters, Joe and Paul, create works of art from wood; and he gets the top contractors on the island, who have pride and passion for what they do. Everyone who worked on our project made sure we got exactly what we wanted; and took the time to explain difficulties and complexities in a way that we could understand. > If you want a great home with stunning custom features, we strongly recommend Horan Building Company. **★★★★★ — Mark Flaherty, Aug. 2019** > We hired Mark Horan to do a large 1st floor redo while we were away al winter. Because of the strong communication and reporting, we never felt the need to return to inspect the work. Upon our return, the project was completed and came out spectacular. The house was spotless and the follow-up by Mark and his team has been flawless. World class experience. **★★★★★ — Jackie and Michael McVicker, July 2019** > Building a custom home is a dream and a challenge. Being in the trusted hands of Horan Builders from step one, enabled us to feel secure and confident with every design decision we made. Their customer service and dedication for complete customer satisfaction, cannot he understated. We were impressed by their consistent focus on quality workmanship and their attention to detail. Our project manager, Jeffrey Melillo, worked tirelessly in keeping our project moving forward from every perspective. If you called Jeffrey, he picked up the phone on the first ring every time. If you want a positive building experience, select Horan Builders as your partner. **★★★★★ — Suzanne Carroll, May 2019** > Horan Building Company completed two projects for us in Newport, RI. First, they completely renovated our single family home including a complete redesign of the first floor, new kitchen and updated bathrooms, new facade, etc. We were so pleased with the results, we then asked Mark to build a stand-along two car garage with a guest house above it. Again, fabulous results! His team is professional, they pay attention to detail and communicate with the client every step of the process. **★★★★★ — HU-471945686, Feb. 2019** > Mark created more than a house for our family; it is a home. Three generations gather regularly and everyone continues to remark about the comfort and beauty. Mark and his skilled craftsmen gave enormous attention to detail that has provided a backdrop for all. Mark was easy to work with especially for someone who had never looked at a blueprint before. His guidance & expertise made the process of building a house, joyful. **★★★★★ — Anonymous Anonymous, Feb. 2019** > I hired Mark Horan of Horan Building Company to renovate my home on the ocean in the Newport, RI area.

Mark and his team were very communicative and made sure to keep me and my family up to date as the job progressed. He was always cognizant of our budget and in fact came in under it.

I would encourage anyone to hire Mark and his team if Horan Building Company is willing to take on your new construction or renovation project. **★★★★★ — Patricia Bliss-Guest, Jan. 2019** > We worked with Horan Building Company in 2013-2014 to build our “dream” home in Middletown Rhode Island. Middletown is an area with many choices in architects and builders, and we feel very fortunate that we found and worked with the team of Alec Tesa and Mark Horan. Mark and his team at Horan Building Company were professional, knowledgeable, friendly and good communicators. They were responsive to our questions and requests for information, able to propose good solutions to any problems that arose, and built us an absolutely beautiful home which we cherish. Their work was of the highest quality and craftsmanship and shows a careful attention to detail and design. Intimately knowing Rhode Island coastal communities and service providers, the team helped us create a home unique to our needs while also fitting in perfectly with the location and the community. And their support did not end with our occupancy of the house. To this day, when we have questions, Mark is ready to offer advice and services to help us out. Always willing to help, even after our home was completed, is testimony to the company’s pride in its work and commitment to its clients. We are pleased to recommend Horan Building Company to those considering building a beautiful home or taking on other projects. **★★★★★ — paulweber, Jan. 2019** > Our Architectural firm has worked with Mark on many residential projects.
