The attention to detail and follow through is not easily found in this industry, but Troxel excelled in bringing the vision to life. I work with many contractors and was exceedingly happy with the experience, quality, and follow through from Troxel Custom Homes. **★★★★★ — Mark & Becky Siewert, Oct. 2016** > Troxel Custom Homes is the ultimate experience... starting with the concept/design, all the way through the build. Brian and Kris strive for excellence, and they deliver! Every trade, product and implementation was handled with the utmost precision, professionalism and care. The team was on top of every detail. They take pride in delivering a complete build experience! We enjoyed the entire process. We love our new home! **Comment from Troxel Custom Homes:** > Mark and Becky - thank you for having us back again this year as we finished your lower level! It was great to see how much you and your family are enjoying the home. **★★★★★ — Andy and Sarah Blake, Oct. 2016** > This was the first time my wife and I built a house and I have to say, given the size of the project it could not have gone any better! > > We have had friends that built in the past with other builders. The outcomes were not always the best and stress levels were very high. They say that building a house can really put a strain on your marriage too. Well, we are still happily married and never had any problems during the build :) > > I can honestly say it was an enjoyable experience working with Troxel Custom homes. > > Brian, Chris and Drew were all great to work with. Lori, their designer was an incredible help too! > > After meeting with Brian the first time we new it would be a good fit. Troxel CH goes out of their way to make sure your home is exactly the way you want it. > > There is a certain level of quality that is not only expected but demanded and it clearly shows in the finished product. > > They are honest and up front with how the whole process works. The Customer Service is top notch and we were amazed at how accurate their quoted price was. > > If we were to ever build another house or do any kind of home improvement project, Troxel Custom Homes would be our first call. > > Highly recommend if you're looking to build or renovate! **★★★★★ — Ronda Lehner, Feb. 2016** > We are currently working with Troxel Custom Homes & I can't say enough about how wonderful they are to work with. Very professional, patient, organized & they build beautiful custom built homes! We are so anxious to keep moving forward in the process of building our custom home!! **★★★★★ — suzanne\_klok, Oct. 2015** > We had an excellent experience working with Troxel Custom Builders. We had a bathroom remodeled and the floor in another bathroom replaced. We were very pleased with how the subcontractors were scheduled, with the quality of the work and the attention to detail. **★★★★★ — ssmac, Aug. 2015** > The professionalism, attention to detail, and quality of the work that Troxel Custom Homes offers is second to none! The sub-contractors they use are the best and they have a great working relationship! From the very beginning they give you a feeling of trust and we have not had that feeling with previous builders. They have great ideas and apply those to the budget you are working with. We have been thru many of their homes during and after the project is done. They have the cleanest, most organized building sites which shows that the professionalism begins with the little things! They are available to meet, always anxious to answer your questions and if new ideas come up mid-construction they are happy to accommodate!! We wouldn't consider using anyone but Troxel Custom Homes! They put your needs ahead of everything, knowing that they are building you a home, not just a house! **★★★★★ — astuursma, May 2015** > Working with the Troxel Company to build our home was a wonderful experience. Brian and Chris have exceptional attention to detail and completion of the job. They take their job of building your perfect house seriously and treat it as if it is their own home. We are very pleased with the finished product and would highly recommend them in the future. **★★★★★ — pdsweeney, May 2015** > The Troxel Custom Homes Company has shown us that they have the highest standards for workmanship of any company in our area. We highly recommend Troxel Custom Homes and know that their dedication to being up-to-date with current trends, and their commitment to quality, and customer service is what makes them stand out in in the Custom Home building and renovation industry. **★★★★★ — chuckmueller, March 2015** > We hired Troxel Custom Homes in late 2013 to build our custom retirement home. We shopped several builders and picked Troxel because we wanted a quality built, high efficiency home. Of all the builders that we visited, Brian Troxel seemed to be the most knowledgeable about efficiency trade-offs. > > As with any purchase, there is a price vs. quality trade-off. Troxel custom homes guided us through our selections regarding space, materials, and features. We spent a little more than we had planned, but got everything that we wanted with no surprises. Troxel's subcontractors and supplier/consultants where all top notch. > > Our home was completed in 2014, and we are very pleased with the results. There were minimal surprises due to Troxel's systematic approach to the design and specification. Any issues have been quickly and cheerfully corrected. The energy efficiency has exceeded our expectations. Brian and Kristine Troxel have a great home building template that extends from the first contact to well after the home is completed. We have been very satisfied. **★★★★★ — eebihara, Oct. 2014** > I knew when I walked in the door the first time this was the house in which I wanted to live with my family. The attention to detail and the quality upgrades and extra touches made this Parade home spectacular and more importantly, a home we loved every day. Kris and Brian Troxel worked extra hard to expedite our move-in from our out-of-state home by quickly finishing our basement with the same quality style and consistency to match the upper two levels. No matter how small our question regarding an appliance, the gas fireplace, the sprinkler system, Brian and/or Kris answered our questions quickly and thoroughly and usually in person. We would gladly build or buy another home with Kris and Brian. And while our relationship with the Troxels began as a transaction, it ended up being a true friendship we became a part of their community. Thank you Kris and Brian. **★★★★★ — cathycoche1, July 2014** > I hired Troxel builders after much research and 3 interviews with Brian. I also was able to visit a current project of his. I was very impressed with his attention to detail (even to cleanliness standards). I was not disappointed. Brian, Kris, and Drew took all the stress leaving me the opportunity to truly enjoy achieving a life long dream. He noticed even the most minor details that needed attention. He knew I was very interested in the building process and was very responsive to my questions - as were all of his subs. > He ran this project in a very professional manner, had a projected calendar and held his subs to it. Of course, there were minor issues (floods) that caused some delays but he always made up for lost time. He told me the job would take about 4.5 months. He called it to the day!!. We started April 15 and I moved in August 30. But it didn't stop there! As with any project, there were MINOR details that were identified after I moved in. He or Kris always responded to my calls promptly, addressed any issues as quickly as possible and when not possible, he or Kris would keep me in the loop until resolution. Their experience enabled them to make very good suggestions about how to do something better (but not necessarily more costly). > After I moved in a friend asked if I would ever build again (she had a not so pleasant experience building her home). I replied "Only with Brian". > I can honestly say I smiled through the whole process. It was very daunting and scary to take on such a large project by myself at my age. Brian, Kris and Drew held my hand the whole way and I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend them strongly enough. I would be very happy to speak to anyone contemplating hiring The Troxel Company. **★★★★★ — deboernf, May 2014** > Troxel's remodeled our family's old cottage. Basically it was stripped down to the studs and rebuild with additional space and rearrangement of rooms. They are well organized. The pre-construction planning was superior. As one would expect in a major remodeling, new situations arose. Their suggestions and ideas were very much appreciated. It was obvious that they had done this type of work before and were aware of the cost and the results of the changes. As as to cost, the final was within 5% of the original estimate. We were well informed as the changes came, as to the costs incurred. My wife and I were very pleased with the results and had the Troxels do remodeling in the kitchen of our residence. ## Selected projects - [Lakehouse Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakehouse-renovation-pj-vj~5791391) - Location: Holland, MI - Photos: 33 - Description: This ideal lot on Lake Michigan boasted an eye-sore of a cottage.
