We are a leader in thoughtful planning, progressive design and distinctive amenities. Brian is a builder with a gift for design. He personally will take you through the process of building your home, from designing the perfect plan, to choosing the best amenities for your individual lifestyle, to the final walkthrough before moving in to your Castlebuilt home.

We are excited to bring to the market a home with unique design paired with progressive energy efficient building techniques. Our goal is to create a home that compliments the homeowners lifestyle, and one they are proud to own.

This can only be achieved dealing with a owner /operated Custom homebuilder. For that reason, at Castlebuilt Homes we take only a few projects a year.

He was difficult to work with, focused on problems and not solutions, and refused to communicate over the phone or in person. Texting back and forth is not a good way to design a custom home or problem solve. We relayed out concerns to Brain at Castlebuilt and they seemed to fall on deaf ears. > > Also, Brian insists on using an app for all communicate and to manage projects. While the app works to discuss routine items, for more formative and complex issues texting back and forth via his app is not ideal. This created several problems and did not help move our project forward. Again we communicated out concerns and he took no corrective action. Additionally, after our deposit was placed, Brian became increasingly difficult to reach over the phone. As a result we soon began to feel like our project was not a priority. > > After weeks of unproductive time spent engaged in back and forth “text only” discussions, we opted to end our arrangement with Brian and Castlebuilt. Since we’d not been given any finalized plans to review, we felt it would be fair to request a partial refund. He refused, although his contract language did clearly state the deposit was non-refundable. We hope others who chose Castle Built have a more positive and productive experience, but that was not the case for us. Buyer beware. **★★★★★ — dsgdonzi, May 2016** > Bathroom remodel exceeded our expectations. Very professional in all aspects and work proceeded on time and on budget. Definitely would have Castlebuilt for any future remodeling or building projects. **★★★★★ — Tim H, May 2016** > Castlebuilt Homes and Brian Arnold built a large stamped concrete patio for the back of our home and covered part of it. Under the covered part, he built us a built in grill with a bar and refrigerator. The other part, he built us a custom gas fire pit. We are very pleased with the patio and it looks great. Brian is very professional and had great ideas to help us with our custom design. I would recommend CastlebuiltHomes and Brian to anyone. **★★★★★ — Lee Ford, May 2016** > I was extremely pleased with the quality and speed of completion of my kitchen renovation. The owner, Brian Arnold, was always able to take the time to answer any questions and give advice on the project. He would respond to phone calls or texts within minutes. There were times when I would second guess my decisions and he helped keep me calm and made the entire process, which could have been very stressful, a very enjoyable one. His attention to detail and his vast experience with building homes really shows in his work. Now I have a beautiful kitchen that I love and would not change a thing. I am already planning a second project, an all season room on the back of my house, and will definitely use Castlebuilt Homes. I know it will be gorgeous too! **★★★★★ — Peter Hanekamp, May 2016** > Excellent builder, excellent customer service and excellent follow thru. Brought great workers to the job site and introduced us to workers that continue doing work for us. I would highly recommend Mr. Arnold as a builder. **★★★★★ — Mike Stigler, May 2016** > Brian built our new home. He did a fantastic job communicating with us as owners. The project came in on time and budget and looks fantastic! Brian has a great group of sub-contractors. **★★★★★ — alliedequattro, May 2016** > Castlebuilt Homes Designed and Built my beautiful new home in 2015. What a great experience! The process was easy and stress free. We love everything about our home!! I would definitely recommend rhem to anyone looking to build there Dream home!! **★★★★★ — heatherleenowak, May 2016** > I wanted to take a second on behalf of Heather and I to thank you for all the hard work you and Castlebuilt Homes have put into our home. Our home search was quite daunting, to say the least. We were at our wits end, and almost ready to throw in the towel and just stay put in our current home. All that changed when we stumbled upon the home you were building in Persimmon Ridge. From the moment we walked in we both knew it would be our next house. It had everything we’d spent so long looking for. A huge formal dining room, a beautiful kitchen with granite countertops, enough bedrooms for our growing family, and a finished walkout for all the entertaining we enjoy doing. But the main thing we noticed was the detail. From the barreled and coffered ceilings to all the arched doorways, we were very impressed. The trim work is amazing, and the unique fixtures only helped in sealing the deal. I knew right then that I would call you and wouldn’t get off the phone until we had a deal. You’ve always been a phone call away for any questions or concerns we’ve had since moving in, which is more important to me than all the things mentioned above. You stand by your work, and your word, and that is commendable. Your workers have always been courteous, and clean (our favorite is Scooter). People always say that when you’re home hunting and find the home you’ve really been searching for, “you’ll just know it when you walk thru the door!” I always thought that was just some cliché…but after finding this home, and experiencing it, I have to agree. We knew it when we walked thru the door… > > Thanks again to you and all the workers at Castlebuilt Homes for all your work, and for building us our own personal “Castle”. > > Brenden & Heather Nowak **★★★★★ — Sarah Harris, May 2016** > We used Castlebuilt Homes for a huge renovation project and could not have been happier with our experience. From start to finish Brian was on point! His proposal was clear and straight forward, he stayed within our budget and all work was completed on time. The end result exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend Castlebuilt Homes. We LOVE our new space!!! **★★★★★ — HU-560751, May 2016** > Castlebuilt Homes constructed my house, and I had a great experience. Brian, the owner, was incredibly engaged throughout the entire process. he provided constructive and pragmatic advice, but he also encouraged out-of-the-box design ideas and innovations. Overall, I would recommend Castlebuilt to anyone for the quality of the construction, the terrific design ideas, and the real and personal customer service they provide. A+/5 Star. **★★★★★ — Dustin Stanley, May 2016** > I've known Brian for a lot of years now and he continues to blow me away with the homes he's built. Naturally when it was time to build my dream home I went to him. Best builder in the business **★★★★★ — Kevin Hughes, May 2016** > We had a great experience with Brian and Castlebuilt homes. From our first meeting we knew Brian was going to be our builder as he clearly understood our needs. His, commitment, attention to detail, and focus on customer satisfaction is refreshing and in my experience unusual in this industry (I have built 4 new homes). We were delighted with the end product and have had many happy years in our "castle". ## Selected projects - [Homearama 2016](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/homearama-2016-pj-vj~1836823) - Location: Crestwood, KY - Photos: 90 - Description: Castlebuilt Homes is excited to announce that we will be participating in the 2016 Homearama event! stay tuned for more photos to come.
