Joe was with us every step of the way; from architecture, to home lay out on the lot, until the day we moved in. We were very happy with the level of craftsmanship and choice of vendors for materials. Joe was willing to work around our busy work schedules and met with us around our schedule. We are very appreciative for the extra customer service that he provided for us. **★★★★★ — Nicole Walters, May 2018** > My husband and I were very pleased with our home built by Ennis Builders. The craftsmanship as well as the materials used were superior to many of the houses we have been in over the years. We were very pleased to work with Ennis Builders in a way that allowed us to stay within our budget. Having generous allowances for each area allowed us to spend a little more in one area while cutting another. The outcome was to stay on track with our overall budget. We felt Ennis Builders was very easy to work with and allowed us to make all decisions with minimal stress. We hope to never build another house in the future because we are very happy with this house and the area we live in, but if we do we will definitely have Ennis Builders build it for us. Ennis Builders made our building experience a positive and pleasant experience. **★★★★★ — Linda Littlejohn, May 2018** > Joe Ennis is an excellent home builder! My Husband and I have built 3 houses together. > Our last home with Ennis Builders. I was impressed with Joe's experience and professional style! I also loved that he would call and let me choose on even the smallest of details. He was easy to work with from start to finish. We enjoyed the whole experience working with Joe Ennis and we would recommend him as a FIVE STAR BUILDER you can TRUST!
