From the initial consultation to the final handover, every step of the process was marked by professionalism, close attention to detail, and a desire to fulfill all of our requirements and requests. > The foundation was poured in January and we moved into the finished house in early October, much faster than we expected. The Classic Urban Homes team—Michael, Misty, and Julio—worked closely with us to tailor every element of the house to our liking while staying within the budget. In many instances, Michael suggested features we had not even thought of, and the result is a house that exceeds our expectations in every way. > Michael steered us to vendors he has worked with for many years to help us make the countless decisions that go into building a house—lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, kitchen and bathroom tiles, flooring, countertops, appliances, and landscaping. The vendors were professional and attentive, and they made our task of choosing the products stress-free and fun. > Since we have moved in, Classic Urban Homes continues to check in with us periodically to ensure everything is functioning smoothly and any issues are promptly addressed. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and their willingness to stand by their work give us immense peace of mind. We wholeheartedly recommend Classic Urban Homes to anyone looking to build a new house. **★★★★★ — Patty Caudill, Feb. 2018** > Building a home had been on my bucket list for years. After seeing a friend's house that was built by Classic Urban Homes, we decided to go for it. From the outset, we were very impressed by Michael's experience level, his knowledge base and the seamless process he had put in place for his clients. Each challenge we faced, (and yes, there will always be some challenges) Michael stepped up with a calm demeanor, creative solution and quick wit to work through any issue. Both he and his seasoned crews were skilled, accommodating and a delight to work with. His partner, Jane, worked diligently to keep us apprised of and on track with the budget. She was also a tremendous asset for design resources and tips. As opposed to the previous horror stories I had heard about building, I don't think we could have had a more enjoyable experience. Every morning I wake up and wonder when I'll stop marveling at the beauty surrounding me in our new home. It hasn't happened yet. **★★★★★ — Facets-Appliances, Kitchens, & Baths, Sept. 2017** > It has been a pleasure working with Jane and Michael. Their attention to detail and > innovative designs are only a couple of the many reasons that make Classic Urban Homes > such a remarkable company!! **★★★★★ — Michael Story, Aug. 2017** > We can't be more pleased with the outcome of our project. Our interactions with the principals, Michael and Jane Turner, were outstanding. The most common response we hear when people see our home for the first time is "Gorgeous!" Openness, honesty, and commitment to detail are partial highlights of our satisfaction. The attention to detail during the construction phase, identifying potential cost savings with alternative approaches, and the followup after completion were outstanding. I know I can still pick up the phone with a question or concern and have it dealt with promptly. We have comfort in knowing that our relationship with CUH will be long term. **★★★★★ — Lauren B, May 2017** > We just finished building our dream home with Classic Urban Homes, and we couldn't be happier. > CUH was recommended to us by 4 different families we know, none of whom know each other. That alone is incredible, and based on our experience, those recommendations were extremely well deserved. > > If we were going to build another home, we'd partner with CUH again in a heartbeat. Here's a few reasons why: > > \- We came in on budget > \- We finished 6 weeks ahead of schedule! > \- Our new neighbors were incredibly impressed with the way the build was managed, in particular the cleanliness of the lot and respect for their space / noise, etc. > \- the architects and contractors CUH uses are very customer-service oriented, and regularly went the extra mile to help make everything run smoothly and quickly. > > Michael and Jane were a joy to work with, and brought countless great ideas to help make our home a great place to live. Where we had to do "value engineering" on features or finishes, or when items went out of stock, they came back to us with amazing, well-thought out alternatives and creative solutions. Their experience helped us make smart choices, and move quickly. **★★★★★ — JM McKoin, May 2017** > We have built two homes with Michael Turner and Classic Urban Homes and we would recommend them to anyone. Building a home is usually one of the most stressful endeavors most people will undertake. It pays huge dividends to have a talented, experienced and trustworthy builder like Michael to partner with. He is particularly good at executing a modern design while offering the best value possible. I like to say he just "gets it." We would look forward to bulding again with Michael. **★★★★★ — Matt S, May 2017** > Highgrove Drive never looked better thanks to the job Classic Urban Homes did on our recent project. Professional, timely, and on budget. What more can you ask for right? Michael is patient and understanding of when changes occur and understands homeowners sometimes need to vet there decisions out before making the final one. Give them a call, you won't regret it! **★★★★★ — Katherine Roberts – Realtor, July 2014** > Michael Turner with Classic Urban Homes is truly fabulous! Many of my clients have had the pleasure of working with him and they sing his praises -- not just for the incredible house that he builds, but also for his excellent customer service, follow-through, and friendship. Jane Turner is such a talented partner in Classic Urban Homes and has a wonderful eye for design. It has been a pleasure to work with Michael and Jane for many years, and I look forward to many more! **★★★★★ — Moreland Design Group, March 2014** > Classic Urban homes has an unyielding approach to engineering quality on top of the coolest cutting edge architecture. Working with Michael Turner has been a great experience! > Thanks **★★★★★ — lgv4444, Nov. 2013** > There are a 1000 decisions to be made when building a custom home. The most important of these is the builder. Choosing Classic Urban Homes was the best decision we could have possibly made. I would have probably had a nervous breakdown if I didn't know Michael was there to take of every detail I could think of. You know he is hands-on there to take of things. Every question I could think of was answered well and quickly. After a while you no longer sweat the details because you know Michael already is. > > There are many quality builders in Dallas, but I don't think anyway can deliver as much value as Michael. It doesn't matter if your budget is $500,000 or $2m, you will get more quality for your dollar with Classic Urban Homes. > > We are like several before us. We will gladly show our home to his potential customers, because he deserves it. **★★★★★ — h design, Oct. 2013** > Michael Turner with Classic Urban Homes has set himself apart from other Dallas area builders with his capabilities in modern residential construction. As an architect, I understand that achieving quality craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic is difficult to come by with at an affordable price. Michael consistently thinks outside the box to develop sound techniques that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also energy efficient and cost effective. He has a good eye for design and innovative, clean solutions for his clients. Classic Urban is my go-to for a Dallas custom home builder. **★★★★★ — Paul Shamburger, March 2013** > The building experience with Classic Urban Homes was great from beginning to end. The builder has great patience through the planning and design phase and made great recommendations for efficiency and functionality. The build phase was without delays and was completed on time. The finished product exceeded expectations. I would most definitely use this builder again. ## Selected projects - [Horseshoe Trail Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/horseshoe-trail-project-pj-vj~245738) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 58 - [Smolensky project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/smolensky-project-pj-vj~95042) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 51 - [Serenity - The Woodward Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/serenity-the-woodward-project-pj-vj~81288) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 31 - Description: Barrett Woodward Photography - [McElhaney Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mcelhaney-project-pj-vj~245756) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Henderson project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/henderson-project-pj-vj~32850) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 38 - [Berins Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/berins-project-pj-vj~32849) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Coffman project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/coffman-project-pj-vj~32846) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 14 - [Grassmere project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grassmere-project-pj-vj~32847) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Robison project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/robison-project-pj-vj~32839) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Shamburger project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shamburger-project-pj-vj~151479) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 56 - [Stanford project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stanford-project-pj-vj~32842) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Meadowdale Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/meadowdale-project-pj-vj~5588857) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 34 - [Lindenshire Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lindenshire-project-pj-vj~2867342) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 35 - [De Bercy Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/de-bercy-project-pj-vj~2863518) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 47 - [Lomita Lane](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lomita-lane-pj-vj~2505581) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 30 - [Martha Lane Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/martha-lane-project-pj-vj~2483022) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 91 - [Somerton project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/somerton-project-pj-vj~2482981) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 45 - [Glencrest 2 project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glencrest-2-project-pj-vj~2479994) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 48 - [Northview Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/northview-project-pj-vj~2295295) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 41 - [Glencrest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glencrest-pj-vj~2295223) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 37 [See all 31 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/classic-urban-homes-pfvwus-pf~880892245) ## Ideabooks - [Blitzers Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/78502057/list/blitzers-ideas) — 2 ideas - [Northview materials](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54991999/list/northview-materials) — 7 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/classicurbanhomes) ## Community Q&A **Q: what is the exterior paint color here?** *(in Photo Questions)* what is the exterior paint color here?
