They are driven by excellence and ALWAYS put their clients first. The leadership is high integrity and they require that each client thoroughly understand $$ and process. **Comment from Castle Homes:** > Thank you, Dee Anna. You were a lovely client and we are so happy that you are pleased with your new home. ### All 19 reviews **★★★★★ — Brooke Eastham, Jan. 2019** > My husband and I recently worked with Castle Homes on a massive renovation of our 1950's ranch and we could not be more pleased with the end product. Our Castle team, including Alan Looney, Josh Smith (project manager), Rachel Haag (designer), and Kevin Coffee (architect), was able to take our initial ideas for our home and expand to a level we never dreamed! They took a 2500 sq ft ranch to a 4000 sq ft contemporary English country home, while preserving a considerable amount of character and charm. Castle provides efficient, quality construction. Our project resulted in a brand new home and only took 9 months to complete. Our home is just perfect for our family and we could not have done this without them. I have recommended Castle numerous times during and after our project and would choose them again for future projects. **★★★★★ — dewitte, Dec. 2018** > We had a Wonderful experience with Castle Hones. They were honest and hard-working and went the second mile to make everything right. They were a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Castle Homes. They are a first- class builder. **Comment from Castle Homes:** > The Dewitte's were fantastic clients and made our jobs beyond enjoyable. We were thrilled with the outcome and know they'll enjoy their lovely new home. **★★★★★ — Devin Floyd, Aug. 2017** > We built our new home with Castle Homes this year. Their team is absolutely the best. They are very knowledgeable, responsive, creative and professional. Their process (including project budget) was well communicated and executed. Our house is exactly what we wanted and more than we expected. The process was a pleasure because of their team. I would highly recommend them and would definitely build a house with them again. **Comment from Castle Homes:** > The Floyd's were a joy to work with. They came to us very prepared and knew exactly what they were looking for. We were more than happy to help them out. **★★★★★ — Steve Arnold, March 2017** > We used Castle Homes to build our new home in the Voce' neighborhood. From the beginning we chose Castle because of their reputation and the process that they use from start to finish.. Our experiences with them was great! We have, and would recommend them for building your new home. > > The quality of their workmanship was a priority and we have had a great experience with them post completion of our home. **Comment from Castle Homes:** > Thank you so much! You were fantastic to work with. **★★★★★ — Rand Frederiksen, Feb. 2017** > "Castle Homes built my house and 18 months later it was struck by lightning. The house was total loss and had to be rebuilt. I was so happy with the first house I let them build it again and was just as happy the second time." **★★★★★ — Jane Alderson, Feb. 2017** > Great company with amazing attention to detail and a family relationship. Alan Looney and Brett Wright are top notch. We couldn't have had a better experience! **★★★★★ — Thomas Herron, Feb. 2017** > I highly recommend Castle Homes. We were so impressed with the first home they built us in 2006 that we asked them to build another home in 2011 as our needs changed. In 44 years of marriage, my wife and I have had 7 homes built and by far our best experience has been with Castle Homes. Their focus is Quality and Service. They provide a budget based on what your needs and desires are so that there are no surprises throughout the process. They have wonderful craftsmen that provide a solidly built home with attention to detail. Over five years in my home, I have had no less than 25 people who have stopped me in the front yard or knocked on the door to ask who our builder was. Alan, with his engineering and construction background along with his wife, Heather who has a wonderful eye for interior furnishings and decorum, make a great team and provide a finished product that you will enjoy years and years. Working with the entire staff was a pleasure. Should we decide to downsize from this home, we will ask Castle homes to build us another (our third.) You will not regret your decision to work with Castle Homes to build your next home. **Comment from Castle Homes:** > We appreciate your kind words. And loved getting you work with you on your home build. **★★★★★ — N Dickson, Feb. 2017** > We had lived in a house that we noted was so well built that when we decided to build a new house we looked for the builder and found Castle Homes. They met all of our expectations. The project was finished on time and within budget. We were most satisfied with their craftsmanship and their responsiveness during and after the project. We've lived in our home almost seven years now, and have had no major issues. For any concerns we have had, the staff at Castle Homes have always been there when we needed them with a solution. **★★★★★ — User, Feb. 2017** > Very pleased with the decision to engage Castle as our builder. Very professional, high quality people and service. Would hire Castle again if we build another home and recommend them to friends which is saying a lot. Stayed within budget except for my changes and delivered exactly on time. > Great company to work with. **Comment from Castle Homes:** > We enjoyed working on your home build. You were a pleasure! **★★★★★ — john583, Feb. 2017** > Build two pool houses and remodel our porch. Castle's attention to detail and craftsmanship was excellent. They executed a French Regent style to our full satisfaction. **★★★★★ — Carey Aron, Feb. 2017** > They correctly interpreted our plans and then led us through a plan of qualifying those plans in a manner that delivered more value and more quality to our original ideas. They understand that they are building a vision, and try to deliver as much value to the vision as they reasonably can. **Comment from Castle Homes:** > We appreciate your kind words and are so happy that you were pleased with the outcome of your project. We strive for excellence and your attention to detail makes our job easy. **★★★★★ — Gerald Fridrich, Feb. 2017** > "Castle Homes did a professional job on our project with cutting edge ideas, cost saving measures, energy efficient suggestions and hands-on consulting. We had a few zoning issues that had to be dealt with and they were right there with us throughout the entire process. There are always challenges in the process of building a home. Castle met these challenges head on with solid advice and reassurance. When they recommended a certain upgrade they explained why by mapping out the long-term implications of the measure. The thing we appreciated the most was we did 85% of the planning on the front end and got out of the way and let them build our home. That process is not done much these days by many builders." **Comment from Castle Homes:** > Thank you for your kind words. Working with clients who are as kind as you make the process of building a home a pleasure. **★★★★★ — C Kevin Coffey Dwellings \| Design, Dec. 2016** > My Company, C Kevin Coffey Dwellings \| Design, has worked with Alan Looney and Castle Homes for nearly 15 years now, and have designed dozens of houses in collaborations with the Castle Homes design team. Their attention to detail is second to none, and their honesty in pricing and communication with clients is something you just won't experience with many other builders. When clients ask me for Contractor references, Castle Homes is ALWAYS on my short list of suggestions. We have many successful projects together and I look forward to many more! **★★★★★ — Outdoor Ink, LLC, Aug. 2016** > In working with this company for the past 15 years I can say that they are 5 star. The amount of detail that Castle Homes delivers before ever breaking ground is unmatched and the finished product reflects it. - **★★★★★ — Lola LeMaistre, Dec. 2015** > Castle Homes is by far head and shoulders above the rest in Nashville and surrounding areas. Alan Looney has gathered quite a motley crew of talented people who have the knowledge of tried and true design ( boring beige ) and as far out of the box you want to go. With Castle's help, our house is taking on a personality of its own - a sleek, customized and European accented design with a courtyard/loggia many Italians would envy. My design team, Kate, understood the vision of what I wanted in this home and brought with her some fresh, innovative ideas, i.e. - hand painted tile, laser cut panels, not your run of the mill hardware.... > It has truly been an exciting endeavor working with Alan and his team. > > Loretta LeMaistre **★★★★★ — 13carol, Nov. 2014** > Very Professional, excellent detailed all around builders from start to finish. Built ten years ago and still loving my home. If I ever build again, I will certainly use this builder and their team. **★★★★★ — Bella Tucker Decorative Finishes, Jan. 2013** > Castle Homes builds a beautiful home. Alan, Brett, Heather and Caroline are organized, helpful, and always on time and on budget. We worked with Castle on the Nashville Southern Living Showcase Home. We collaborated as a team to come up with finishes that were beautiful, timeless and innovative at the same time. The surfaces were finished and prepped before deadline. Overall the teamwork was great and the results of the home were stunning. This is a well run organization. **★★★★★ — Stancy Tomlinson, Sept. 2012** > My husband and I hired Castle to transform a 1958 Ranch that we recently bought into anything but a ranch. From the architect, to budgeting, to the complete vision from a design stand point, Castle does it all and does it well. They are a quality builder and even on a tight budget you get more than you would with most. Why? Because the Castle standard is set very high. As they say, everyone deserves their castle. ## Selected projects - [2015 Nashville Symphony Show House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2015-nashville-symphony-show-house-pj-vj~1195298) - Location: Nashville, TN - Photos: 27 - Description: The 2015 Nashville Symphony Show House is a Southern Contemporary Folk Style Home with 5,556 SqFt, 3 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms & a 3-car garage.
