I was in Oregon during the completion & was delighted with their quality of workmanship & professionalism. Everything was completed on time & as promised. They are quick to respond to even the smallest issue. I would give them 10 stars if that was possible! I have built several homes before & it is rare to find someone with this level of honesty & integrity. I am very pleased & grateful for everything they have done for me. **Comment from Martin Combs Custom Homes LLC:** > Thank you for the kind words Karla! It was great working with you! **★★★★★ — Angie Glick, Aug. 2016** > I worked Martin & Combs on a commercial project. They set honest expectations, went above and beyond to ensure the project was completed on time and delivered a quality product. I would highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — nicole2050, Aug. 2016** > I am a Designer and have been working with Martin and Combs going on 7 years now. Javan and Brandon pay attention to detail, treat every home as if it were theirs and are extremely helpful to work with. I would highly recommend working with Martin and Combs if you are looking to build in the Cedar Rapids Area **★★★★★ — dunsquez, Dec. 2015** > We recently purchased a home built by Martin Combs Custom Homes. Because we loved the look, feel and quality, we instantly thought of them when finishing our basement. We were quoted a reasonable price and a timeline of about 45 days. The entire process ran smoothly and ended up finishing in under the quoted time! We'll definitely call them first for any future projects we may have! **★★★★★ — lolypoapa, Oct. 2015** > We had the pleasure to work with Brandon and Javan to build our home for many years to come. We moved in a little over a month and we absolutely love our home. > Martin Combs built the house we envisioned. They were very helpful throughout the whole process and very much willing to share advice and ideas. But we also had the freedom to create our unique and personal space within the time frame we had - and this is something only a custom builder will do. > We couldn't be more happy with the quality of our home. We recommend Martin Combs for building your dream home that will be truly unique! **★★★★★ — heather\_d\_carlson, Sept. 2015** > We would highly suggest Martin Combs Custom Homes to anyone who is looking at building a one-of-a-kind custom home in the Corridor area. They were extremely professional throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have asked for a team more courteous and friendly. The contractors that Martin Combs utilize throughout the build are very knowledgeable and talented. Not to mention the fact that anytime we stopped by the site, they were all very friendly and asked any questions we may have had. We appreciated the feedback and ideas they had through the design and build process. This really came in handy as we had never built a home before. If anyone is looking at building a home in the area, they should be your first call. The quality on the build of our home is more than we could have ever imagined. **★★★★★ — ldrjgass, Aug. 2015** > Building the home of your dreams can seem like an overwhelming process. Javan & Brandon do everything they can to make it as easy as possible for you. Through every step along the way, from breaking ground through the detailed cleaning just before you move in, they are there to assist you along your journey. They are very willing to share their knowledge & experiences with you, and while you get to make the final call on what you want in your new home, they will give you input to help with the many decisions that you have to make. Building your new home just the way you want it, on time & on budget, is as important to Javan & Brandon as it is to you. > > We have been extremely pleased with our Martin & Combs Custom Home & think you will be too. > > Larry & Diane Gass **★★★★★ — doug\_janet1, April 2015** > You couldn't ask for better builders. The house is quality built and they pay attention to the small details. When we moved here 2 years ago we probably looked at 30 homes. This one stood out!! We LOVE the house!!!! **★★★★★ — krisbeck24, April 2015** > In designing and building our home, Martin & Combs worked very closely with us to ensure our home looked and felt how we envisioned. We are extremely happy with the end result and would recommend Martin & Combs to anyone and everyone. **★★★★★ — Crystal Hermann, April 2015** > My wife and I hired Martin Combs to build our home last year. They were wonderful to work with. They were very flexible and worked with us every step of the way. Their were no hidden costs and they have even helped us out after the project was completed. I would highly recommend Martin Combs Custom Homes to anyone looking to build a new home. **★★★★★ — Scott Davis, April 2015** > We purchased a home built by Martin Combs in North Liberty and we love it. It has a very efficient layout and it's not a "cookie cutter" type of house. We also appreciate that they used quality products to build the home. You can tell they care about their work. And after the purchase we had their direct number in case anything came up, which unfortunately something did: the city forgot to remove the cap on the sewage line. Martin Combs was not at fault but they still took care of everything and worked with the city to get it corrected. I highly recommend these guys! ## Selected projects - [3667 Faulker Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3667-faulker-drive-pj-vj~2972065) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 4 - [3689 Faulkner](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3689-faulkner-pj-vj~2972071) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 7 - [214 Saddleback Rd](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/214-saddleback-rd-pj-vj~1226163) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 5 - [Completed Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/completed-projects-pj-vj~1235374) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 3 - [3502 Quail Trail](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3502-quail-trail-pj-vj~1294909) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 3 - [3062/Iowa City](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3062-iowa-city-pj-vj~1957612) - Location: Iowa City, IA - Photos: 10 - [Central City](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/central-city-pj-vj~2972090) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Transitional Delight](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-delight-pj-vj~2129448) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 4 - [Dempster Dr, Coralville](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dempster-dr-coralville-pj-vj~2518333) - Location: Coralville, IA - Photos: 9 - [3048/Iowa City](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3048-iowa-city-pj-vj~1957610) - Location: Iowa City, IA - Photos: 8 - [Iowa Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/iowa-home-pj-vj~1732902) - Location: Iowa City, IA - Photos: 3 - [New Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-home-pj-vj~1489655) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 4 - [Forest gate remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forest-gate-remodel-pj-vj~1325422) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 4 - [Morrison St](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/morrison-st-pj-vj~5529903) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [3771 Faulkner Ave Spec](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/3771-faulkner-ave-spec-pj-vj~3976446) - Location: Marion, IA - Photos: 9 [See all 15 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/martin-combs-custom-homes-llc-pfvwus-pf~848325342) ## Ideabooks - [4310 Indian Creek](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/92844782/list/4310-indian-creek) — 50 ideas - [Salon](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/134055142/list/salon) — 4 ideas - [3667 Faulkner](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/92841524/list/3667-faulkner) — 10 ideas - [Beverage Bar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72622896/list/beverage-bar) — 1 idea - [Floor Plans](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72622612/list/floor-plans) — 2 ideas - [Master Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/72622366/list/master-bathroom) — 3 ideas - [Tile Shower](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/49713728/list/tile-shower) — 2 ideas [See all 7 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/torrac) ## Community Q&A **Q: Siding** *(in Photo Questions)* LOVE the color and considering putting this on our new house.
