**★★★★★ — Atlantic Kitchen & Bath LLC, Dec. 2020**

> James and his team at James Monroe Homes build what are considered the most energy efficient homes in Kentucky. I have served with James on the Board of the National Association of Home Builders for many years. James’ concern for building the best value homes for his clients is unmatched. I would not hesitate to build a home with James Monroe Homes and highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — Vincent Longo Custom Builders, Dec. 2017**

> I have worked with James Monroe for at least two years. In our professional relationship I have personally experienced his creativity, "take action attitude" and his willingness to work with many moving parts simultaneously. I have the upmost respect for him, his integrity, and his work ethic.

**★★★★★ — Robin Keeling, Aug. 2015**

> Wow what an experience!!  This was our first time building a home and our dream home at that.  James made the experience wonderfully easy and especially when we had to deal with crazy snows, and torrential rains that are very uncommon for our area.  We couldn't be more pleased with James Monroe Homes.  James is absolutely phenomenal to work with and we would highly recommend him for all you home building needs.
> Thank you so much James Monroe and crew.
