We made an adjustment at the end of our project to our landscaping budget, as we had a specific idea in mind. Our project manager, Vince DeFreitas, met with us to discuss our needs, requirements, and mutual expectations. We had already chosen a specific one story house and floor plan. Wisely making adjustments to the plans with a qualified professional, Vince quickly worked up a project cost proposal and schedule that met our needs. I believe using his recommended suppliers with whom he has established working relationships was critical to scheduling, quality and cost. We used local suppliers on the project. We did our part by meeting with vendors early in the project execution phase to make our selections, staying within our cost allowances. The sales representatives were knowledgeable and helped us create a beautiful, mid-century modern style home. After breaking ground, Vince was able to shorten the schedule, and completed our home within nine months. Vince continuously informed us about the progress of the project, and discussed any issues with us promptly during the course of the project. He is excellent at managing expectations. Vince DeFreitas’ expertise in steering us through the home-building process was truly outstanding. My husband and I highly recommend Vince and Silver Developers for building custom homes. **★★★★★ — Rajat Chand, July 2023** > Silver Developers, LLC: Your Perfect Partner for an Energy-Efficient Home > > As a customer who has recently worked with Vince DeFreitas and Silver Developers, LLC to build my dream home, I am immensely pleased to provide a five-star rating for their exemplary service.

We built along side of each other a couple projects. I’ve recommended his company to several clients. Good company and I appreciate the owner operator approach to building. > > Thanks Vince! **★★★★★ — HU-329048144, April 2021** > After meeting with six different contractors, hiring Vince to build our dream home was the clear choice. From the very first meeting Vince demonstrated high levels of integrity and communication and this was exactly what we were looking for in a builder. He provide us with that steady assurance and consistent presence and then follow through with meeting timeline projections that told us he was a true professional and an expert in his field. Working with Vince was an absolute pleasure. He has great attention to detail, project management orchestration, and has developed a skillful team of sub-contractors to work with to produce a beautiful product. When ever there was something I didn't understand, he took time explaining it to me and always made me feel comfortable with my decisions. > > We highly recommend Vince if you are building a custom home. You will not be disappointed! Just meet with him, see some of the houses he has build, and talk with some of his former clients and you will see for yourself. **★ — Eric Hofmann, April 2021** > I met Vince in June 2020 to discussed building a tiny home. He seemed very nice at first and I felt that I made the right decision to go with him as a contractor. Perhaps because the project was smaller compared to other builds, it soon become apparent that there was little attention to detail and the work was substandard. Sub contractors had to come back 2-3-4 times to fix mistakes. Measurements were WAY off in the kitchen which resulted in having to redo appliances twice and when delivered they still didn’t fit. Instead of correct the issue the right way, moving cabinets and cutting back countertops, his solution was to exchange the fridge i already downsized and put a “dorm room” fridge in.it wasn’t until heated discussion that he agreed to finally do it the right way. There were also wrong measurements with the foundation, a column holding up the front porch when installed was hanging off the slab a few inches which was quite noticeable. Vince just said it was still structurally sound. I asked him if it would pass on one of his more expensive builds and he told me “well, this is not a $1 million property”. That comment absolutely blew my mind and truly showed me Vince’s character. He didn’t give me input options on design features in the house. Even though it’s a small property, I upgraded things like adding French doors, granite countertops, upgraded flooring, Cedar Mill Hardie plank siding, and a 5 x 5 front stoop w/ cover in the design process. I asked him early on when I would be able to pick door styles and different features and he said he would send me options later on in the build. Months after the framing went up, doors arrived one day and I had no say in them. Needless to say they weren’t the style that I had wanted. All he said was that they were “special order”doors and they couldn’t be returned. The first faucets he got were very cheap. He finally switched them because they didn’t fit. Again, off with measurements but I guess that one worked in my favor. One time a subcontractor came out who was obviously unfamiliar with the project as he actually did work on my main home. It took three times for someone to come back to fix it the way it was. Vince in the beginning even denied it having being done, saying his workers didn’t touch the main house, but I got it on my Google doorbell camera and had to send him the video clip to prove they did it before he sent someone back to fix it. This build was riddled with delays, sometimes I even had to call inspection offices and deal with issues that vince was being paid to do. The building was finally finished in mid March 2021. We were always on time with payments and I paid 95% of the whole build in early November. The final straw was when Vince threatened us with a small claims court order for final payment before we even had the final certificate of occupancy and the power had not even been turned on by the power company. I would not recommend this builder for your next project. **Comment from Silver Developers LLC:** > Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry your experience didn’t match your expectations. It was an uncommon instance as noted in all of our other 5 star reviews, we’ll do better in the future. **★★★★★ — Nick, July 2020** > We talked to several builders during our search for a property to build a custom home and Vince immediately stood out in his professionalism, organization and overall knowledge. We ended up with a design on a lot that needed review and approval by the Historic Committee. This was a long process that neither of us had navigated before. Vince did a great job getting us through the process and always proposed solutions as issues came up. I would recommend Vince to anyone looking for a builder that knows the business and can get the job done. **★★★★★ — K B, Aug. 2019** > We built our dream home with Vince in 2018/2019. It was our first custom built house, so we were totally new and didn't really know what to expect. We thoroughly interviewed 3 potential builders and had preliminary discussions with at least 4 more. We called 5 of his references that we randomly picked of his list of about 20 and each customer raved about him and said they'd use him again. We also visited one of his houses that was in progress and he talked very openly about pricing and how much things cost and we were able to get a feel for his price point and what was a good fit for him - and it was a good fit for us. Also, he's a super easy going, laid back, detail oriented person who is very much on top of things. We knew having a good relationship and chemistry with our builder was going to be important since we'd be talking to him nearly every day for 9 months. > > So we think we were thorough in our selection process - and we're deliriously happy with how things have turned out. Overall we were on time and (gasp!) UNDER budget. He was very patient explaining things and letting us know what decisions we needed to make and the deadlines in order to keep the whole timeline on track. Sure, there were a few minor things that were wrong but they were quickly corrected. We've been in the house for 3 months and we've had no issues getting punch list items taken care of. > > We're extremely happy with our house, and the entire process that Vince guided us through. > > We STRONGLY recommend Vince and Silver Developers! **★★★★★ — Caroline Whitson, March 2017** > Vince was a great contractor. He is extremely organized and the new house was completed on time and within budget. He kept track of every dollar and kept us totally informed. **★★★★★ — Kayla Brendlinger, March 2017** > My husband and I were referred by my neighbors to call Silver Developers. LLC. Vince with Silver Developers worked with us from the beginning in developing our plans to actually building. > We never had any doubt that the job would not be completed and met deadlines. It has been 3 years since our house was built and still call to ask questions and he is always freindly and willing to help. We love our house and we Thank Silver Developer. > Kayla and David Brendlinger **★★★★★ — Mick Ribault, March 2017** > Vince was great to work with on our new home construction. The part that stands out is his responsiveness and ability to get things done in a timely manner. We highly recommend him. **★★★★★ — hanneslom, Jan. 2015** > Silver Developers LLC provided the complete house construction package, from planning to completion. Throughout this process Vince was outstanding, with a huge attention to details and quality. > > Very trustworthy! **★★★★★ — Dave Vdwouw, Dec. 2014** > Silver Developers build our completely custom build home. It was a pleasure to work with Vince. We highly recommend them for your next project. The total construction time was about 10 months which for a 100% custom build home is very reasonable. Our home is build with ICF walls, Geo Thermal, steel roof and has a contemporary design. All together it was a pretty challenging project but Silver Developers pulled it off. ## Selected projects - [Net Zero Home in Array, Chapel Hill, NC](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/net-zero-home-in-array-chapel-hill-nc-pj-vj~7315433) - Location: Chapel Hill, NC - Photos: 21 - Description: Energy efficient NetZero, NGBS, HERO and Pearl certified home. - [Modern Farmhouse Durham, NC](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-farmhouse-durham-nc-pj-vj~6591638) - Location: Durham, NC - Photos: 17 - [Modern Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-home-pj-vj~6410067) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 33 - [Modern ICF Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-icf-home-pj-vj~2572429) - Location: Apex, NC - Photos: 42 - Description: Modern Insulated Concrete Home - [Modern/Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-contemporary-pj-vj~2393960) - Location: Cary, NC - Photos: 44 - [Five Points Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/five-points-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~5817809) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 27 - Description: Beautiful modern Farm House by the Sater Design Group.
