**★★★★★ — Carol Gaynor Walton, Oct. 2020**

> From our very first meeting with Neil and Joy, we knew right away that the Jarman team was the one we wanted to be on. Joy’s outstanding sense of style guided us through a smooth selection process while Neil’s exceptional attention to detail always seemed to amaze us.  The quality of the build was beyond our expectations. We love our custom built home and choosing the Jarmans to build our dream home was the best decision we ever made.  Simply stated; from start to finish they are the best team in the area and we highly recommend them.  Thank you so much Neil and Joy for making our dream become a reality.

**★★★★★ — Larry Riggs, Aug. 2020**

> We bought our home in February of 2020 which was build by Jarman Homes. We feel it was very good construction, well build and very well designed inside and out. Neil and Joy were very easy to work with and were a big help in selecting the trim, granite, lights, flooring, tile, and colors. We would definitely recommend them as builders for your new home.

**Comment from Jarman Homes:**

> Thank you, Larry, for your kind words.  We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and Grace.  Your home is beautiful and we wish you many years of happy memories.

**★★★★★ — Jan Niedringhaus, Aug. 2020**

> One of the best decisions my husband and I ever made was to ask the Jarmans to build our custom home. This husband-wife team is quite simply the best in the business! Quiet, capable, skillful Neil, and lively, creative, organized Joy are a true class act. They built our home and helped design the interior look with as much care and interest as if it were their own personal residence. Honesty and integrity are key to this couple. A true pleasure to know and to work with!

**Comment from Jarman Homes:**

> Jan, thank you for the kind words.  We enjoyed working side by side with you in creating such a beautiful home customized to perfectly reflect your personality and style.  We wish you and Chuck many years of happy memories in your new home.

**★★★★★ — Brittany Craig, Sept. 2018**

> We absolutely love our new custom home built by the Jarmans!  Joy Jarman was very helpful and knowledgeable with all the design selections.  Neil Jarman and his team build high quality homes and do not cut any corners.  If you’re building a custom home I recommend building with the Jarmans.

**★★★★★ — Pati & Danny Choi, Sept. 2017**

> Jarman Homes built our dream home in 2017.  We were building from out of state, and it couldn't have been easier.  Joy, Neil and their team made sure that EVERY detail was perfect.  When I struggled over what stone to use on the fireplace, Joy gently told me that what I was leaning towards probably wasn't the best choice with my color pallet.  THANK goodness I listened! Her suggestion was PERFECT.  From start to finish, our selection of Jarman Homes was the BEST decision we could have made.  The compliments on our home continue to pour in.  I'd build with Jarman Homes again in a heartbeat!!

**★★★★ — soverton1, Nov. 2014**

> Jarman Homes built our custom home.  We cannot be anymore pleased at the outcome.  The process went very well.  Joy Jarman was very helpful and knowledgeable at assisting me with picking fixtures and colors.  We had a very pleasant experience and will definitely recommend them.

**★★★★★ — jennibunn, Nov. 2014**

> My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of our builder Neil Jarman and our Design Consultant Joy Jarman!  We had an awesome and fun experience building our home.   Neil kept the project moving in a timely manner and kept us informed throughout the process.  Joy was very helpful with choosing fixtures, colors, etc to fit our style!  I could not have done it without her!  Neil and Joy both helped make the building process fun and less stressful!  I would recommend Jarman Homes to anyone building their next home!

**Q: How big is the island?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi! Love this island! How big is it, and how many chairs could fit?

A: Hello.  Thank you for your question.  
The Island measures 120" x 48".  Usually clients fit 4 large chairs/stools very comfortably.  120" is the longest I like to go in order to get a whole slab without a seam for the countertop.
