**★★★★★ — User, July 2017**

> I've built several homes and can absolutely recommend Bill Cornelius as the best builder I have ever worked with.  He is a hands on builder who is there working on the job every day with his crew.  He pays attention to every detail and is truly a delight to work with.  If you are building in the Ruidoso area, I would encourage you to use him!

**★★★★★ — karenjarm, Aug. 2014**

> Bill Cornelius is known as the "best builder" in Ruidoso,  NM.  We are lucky to have him as our contractor for our new home in Alto, NM.  He is thorough, thoughtful, respectful and has a good team of employees which do an excellent job.  He is known as one who will not cut corners to save money.  He is creative and will also listen to our ideas which are sometimes good ideas and sometimes he says "no" when we can't do that.  He has built the most beautiful homes in our area.  You can tell his "touch" when you see it.  You do not have the option of completion for 2015 which is when this project will be completed.
