**★★★★★ — Morehouse MacDonald & Associates, Inc. Architects, Nov. 2014**

> I have worked with Marc and his team on several high-end residential projects and am extremely pleased with the results. Marc is very efficient, a good communicator and very client-oriented. He respects the process and the design professionals involved and he works diligently to realize the project intent. Sanford works, on a regular basis, with the region’s best sub-contractors and artisans to bring a level of finish uncommon in the industry.
>
> I look forward to my next collaboration with Sanford Custom Builders and know that our clients best interests will be in the capable hands of a quality general contractor

**★★★★★ — kgsmoss, Oct. 2014**

> The project we undertook was extremely complex and took much longer than we had anticipated. We relied on Marc to help us work with the architect to achieve the result that we wanted, helping us balance the cost of the design elements that we were creating with the ultimate old-world charm that we were striving to achieve. Sanford has very high standards and Marc delivered to us a superior home of the utmost quality.

**★★★★★ — fmgrowthco, Oct. 2014**

> I am writing to thank Marc Kaplan and Sanford Homes for a job well done! When we first began this project I don't think I truly realized the enormity of developing a highly detailed 11,500 square foot stone and shingle house, a large barn with a greenhouse and a home for my in-laws. However, Marc and his staff handled our project magnificently and professionally at every turn. The pre-construction value engineering and budgeting was constructive and accurate. The scheduling, sub-contractors and supervision was professional. The timing, delivery, and pricing was excellent. We were always treated fairly and respectfully. The greatest testament to you may be that even now that we have lived here for over 6 years, when we called Marc answered immediately and any problems that arose were handled promptly, courteously, with no hassle and at no charge
>         Thank you, Fred

**★★★★★ — dkrasnow, Oct. 2014**

> This is the fifth time we had have built a home, and it
> \>is definitely the best built of them all. The finish work is of
> \>uniformly high quality, and the ³bones² are rock-solid. We were also
> \>delighted with the enthusiasm, attention to detail and care brought to
> \>the job by our project supervisor. Finally, whenever issues did arise,
> \>Sanford was quick to resolve them to our satisfaction. For such a
> \>significant undertaking, the process with Sanford was relatively
> \>straightforward. And, despite upward cost pressure throughout the
> \>project, the construction work managed by Sanford was virtually on budget
> \>

**★★★★★ — ethanolamine, Oct. 2014**

> I appreciated Marc’s guidance and thoughtfulness throughout what turned into a substantial home construction project. Marc and his foreman were bright, articulate, and flexible yet firm in making sure that there was careful attention to detail. These attributes were shared with our architect and his associate to form a successful working relationship. Marc’s consistent availability and honesty were, and remain, important to us.

  - Description: A new 6,300 square foot home on a narrow, one acre site. Although the lot was narrow but deep, the architect resisted the temptation to design a house that appears sideways. Instead, Meyer & Meyer, Inc. Architecture and Interior created a true front elevation facing the high-profile street. The owners’ request for a powerful front façade drove many design decisions from the selection of the large pudding stone material to the arched passage through the home. A large patio and pool grace the back…
