From the first time we walked into an Aldred Home my husband and I felt like we were at home. > From the design to the quality to the craftsmanship of an Aldred Home, it was what houses use to be made of....not something that was "cookie cutter" put up overnight. It is a home that is well thought out and well built. It is timeless! > The Aldred team is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced! If we had to do it all over again, it would definitely be an Aldred Home! **★★★★★ — Melissa O'Malley, Dec. 2015** > Aldred Homes built a custom home for our family. Lisa and Aryl went above and beyond to ensure our plan translated into the home we wanted. During the actual construction process, Lisa was so helpful and provided guidance and advice when asked. Aldred pays attention the the smallest of details so you can be assured your home is beautiful and of superior quality. We are so happy with our home. **★★★★★ — jimchrisrehak, Dec. 2015** > Having built five new homes prior to contracting with Aldred Homes, I can honestly say that my experience working with the Aldred Family has been exceptional. Their attention to detail, concern for the needs and interests of the home owner and quality of construction contribute to their outstanding finished product. Many upgrades are included in their homes as standard. Their presence at the building site ensures that the job is done right. I would not hesitate in recommending an Aldred Home to anyone who is considering building a family home. **★★★★★ — stephenclunn, Dec. 2015** > I bought a spec home from Aldred Homes in 2014. The quality of the home is excellent and the service has been outstanding. Any little question or thing that has come up has been addressed immediately. I would definitely recommend Aldred to anyone wanting to build a home. **★★★★★ — Josette Urankar, Dec. 2015** > We love Lisa Aldred and her team. They are the best. No other contractor is as honest and hard working. I would recommend them again and again. **★★★★★ — mercedes\_collection, Dec. 2015** > Aldred Homes is the best custom builder in the NW Indiana area. I have bought two of their homes of which my second is my "Dream Home" that I plan on keeping the rest of my life. I gave them my "wish list" and they came up with the plan that perfectly satisfied my needs. The quality of construction is unsurpassed and they back their product for years to come. I can't imagine using any other builder for a custom home. **★★★★★ — shamilton0651, Dec. 2015** > Over the past 40 years, we have purchased 2 preowned homes and build 4 new homes. > Our Aldred home is the best one we have ever owned. > > We love our Aldred home - the quality, design and location. Ours is a custom construction and we found a true partner with Aldred in working through the many decisions, from the site through the floor plan selection, architecture design, construction details, finish selections, decking and landscaping. We had excellent professional input at every step to help us make our choices. > > Although we were very involved during the construction, we did not feel the need to micro manage the project as Aldred is very quality conscious and trustworthy. We moved from another state and were not on site every day or even every week, so this was very important to us. We were very comfortable with a more hands-off approach. > > We spent a lot of time exploring the area and working with a real estate agent in searching/viewing lots and existing homes. By chance, we found Aldred on our own and we are fortunate to have made the connection. We plan to be in our new home for a long time but if we were to build again, we would work with Aldred. They are awesome! **★★★★ — cjafery, Dec. 2015** > Bought new home from Aldred Builders. Very professional and quite satisfied with quality of home. Would highly recommend this builder. **★★★★★ — dale\_bower89, Dec. 2015** > Let us start by saying that we absolutely love our Aldred home! > We had started our home search in the area with a realtor looking at several existing houses and just happened to come across an Aldred lot that had recently started construction by chance. New construction hadn't even crossed our minds as an option at that point. > As soon as we saw the floor plan we knew the layout and flow of the home fit all of our needs and wants perfectly, and were positive that our home search had just ended. Relocating to NWI from out of state and taking on a new custom construction project was daunting, but Lisa was the ultimate professional and very patiently guided us through every stage of the home building process. > The quality of work, attention to detail, and project management was superior. > Lisa truly went above and beyond for us from start to finish -- we have nothing but rave reviews for the Aldred team. > We will be returning to Aldred Homes for all future projects because we know we've found a top quality builder that we appreciate and trust. > Thank you so much **★★★★★ — akleese, Dec. 2015** > We have been very happy with the two houses that Aldred Builders have constructed for us. They were on time, stayed within budget, and did an excellent job. We lived in the the first house they built for us for 15 years without issues. When it came time to build another new home, we did't consider anyone but Aldred. Building our new home in the dunes presented some challenges, but the Aldred team handled them well. The quality of their workmanship is the the best and its a joy to work with their team through the building process. We continue to recommend them to others who are considering building a home. You really couldn't pick a better builder. **★★★★★ — klfwelter, Dec. 2015** > I have lived in my Aldred Home for eight years and could not be happier. During the planning and construction, Aryl and Lisa were willing to listen to and implement some of my ideas so that it was truly my custom home. It is a beautiful home but, more importantly, I have never had a single problem with it. That provides me with great peace of mind! > > Kathy Welter **★★★★★ — bcorish1980, Aug. 2014** > Have worked with Lisa Aldred on everything from a large upstairs addition to a a garage overhaul to renovating our living room. We've added beams, stone, windows, you name it and Lisa the most thorough builder I have worked with over the years and that's saying a lot. She really cares about the end result and if the client is happy. Deadlines are met, job site is clean, and finished product is excellent. Best builder is the area no doubt. ## Selected projects - [Fowler Residence, Wild Rose, Valparaiso, IN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fowler-residence-wild-rose-valparaiso-in-pj-vj~1452730) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 20 - [Custom Details](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-details-pj-vj~1449787) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Green Residence, Arbor Lake Estates, Valparaiso, IN](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/green-residence-arbor-lake-estates-valparaiso-in-pj-vj~1452645) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 23 - [The Hill Crest, Arbor Lake Estates, Indiana](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-hill-crest-arbor-lake-estates-indiana-pj-vj~1442721) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 9 - [The Prairie, Wild Rose, Valparaiso](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-prairie-wild-rose-valparaiso-pj-vj~1442197) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 14 - Description: Three bedroom craftsman style ranch built in Wild Rose Community of Valparaiso, Indiana. - [Omalley Residence, Hawthorne Estates, Valparaiso](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/omalley-residence-hawthorne-estates-valparaiso-pj-vj~1441967) - Location: Valparaiso, IN - Photos: 18 - Description: Large three car side load garage with craftsman charm throughout.

No real need for a before pic. There was an empty wall. I had the bench top made. It is Sycamore. Otherwise, I did the rest. What do you think? A: Looks great, these are more and more popular. We put them in most of our homes great way to organize items and it looks to be a part of the home. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-14.*
