This was our third time building or renovating a primary residence, so we came into the process with clear expectations and a solid frame of reference. Aspire exceeded those expectations at every stage. > > Their approach is incredibly streamlined and efficient. Having architecture, design, and construction all under one roof made the experience remarkably smooth and cohesive. Communication was consistent, decisions were well‑guided, and the team demonstrated real craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the build. > > Most importantly, they delivered exactly what they promised—on time, with quality, and with a level of professionalism that made the entire process enjoyable rather than stressful. We absolutely love our new home, and we would not hesitate to work with Aspire again on a future project. **★★★★★ — Maura, June 2025** > David is very helpful and knowledgeable. He truly cares about his client’s needs. We were very happy with the house we had designed and built with Aspire. **Comment from Aspire Fine Homes:** > Thanks for the kind words Maura. We loved working with you and Bill on your house! > > David Gordon **★★★★★ — C. Olson, Nov. 2024** > I bought my home from Aspire in 2017 as a brand new build. By 2023, the front porch had wood that had rotted in places all the way through. Despite the time frame that had passed and with no requirement to make any repairs, David Gordon and team replaced the entire porch in a day and a half without cost to me. It brought my home back to it's early state of beautiful and safe. I greatly appreciate the efforts to standby their work and do right by their clients. **★★★★★ — Clifford York, Oct. 2024** > Aspire (Whitestone) build our beautiful home in the Heights in 2018. We worked with David Gordon on the design and Taylor Johnson completed the project. Taylor was very customer-focused throughout the construction and he has been a terrific resource ever since, even helping us through some challenging weather damage more recently. Taylor has continued to be a great partner post-build and we feel very fortunate to have him next door! **★★★★★ — Gabriela Almeida, Dec. 2023** > We had a very positive experience working with Aspire Fine Homes to build our house. David, Taylor, Michael, Desiree, and the various contractors they managed were incredibly professional throughout the process. They were knowledge and always had a helpful perspective, but also made sure that our vision was the priority. We are in love with our home, thank you team! **★★★★★ — HU-774007089, Nov. 2023** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Aspire for our home project, and I must say that the craftsmanship and attention to detail they put into their work is truly commendable. The quality of their construction and the overall design of my new home far exceeded my expectations. From the foundation to the finishing touches, it's evident that they take pride in their work, and the result is a beautiful, well-constructed home. > > Despite exceptional work quality, project delays due to unforeseen circumstances and the company's commitment to high standards extended the timeline significantly. While slightly inconvenient, the final product was truly spectacular and it was well worth the wait. > > David and his team truly excels in their craftsmanship and the overall quality of their homes builds. The delayed timeline, while inconvenient, is a minor trade-off for the exceptional work they deliver. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a home builder who prioritizes quality and attention to detail. **★★★★★ — Alex Mac, Sept. 2023** > We moved into our Aspire-built home in September 2022 and have been thrilled ever since. Owner Dave and Construction Manager Taylor made the process smooth and transparent, putting us first-time new-built buyers at ease. > A special nod to our superintendent, Michael Leanes, whose attention to detail was impeccable. He proactively addressed all aspects from framing to final walk-through. > One year in, we've reached our warranty milestone, and the home is still in excellent shape. Minor touch-ups were swiftly handled by Aspire’s efficient team, whose coordinated effort delivered a high-quality home that matches our vision perfectly. **★★★★★ — HU-142616314, Aug. 2023** > Great builder! Loving my new house. Their superintendent Michael, was amazing getting everything from my punch list (post closing) finished and well done. **★★★★★ — James Longhofer, May 2023** > Dave and the rest of the Aspire team were fantastic to work with. Trying to find the right builder for my "forever" home was challenging, but Dave and the Aspire team did an amazing job. Starting with the design and architecture, working through the budget and ending with the actual construction process, Dave and his team demonstrated both creativity and practicality. The entire team was very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. Ultimately, they built a beautiful house that I love. I highly recommend Dave and the Aspire team. **Comment from Aspire Fine Homes:** > Thanks James! We can't wait to see your house after you've settled in. **★★★★★ — Ashley Scharnberg, Feb. 2023** > We went under contract in fall 2021 and closed on our house late summer 2022. David and his team were amazing to work with – all were professional and extremely responsive. As this was our first home to build, we had a lot of questions. Taylor and Michael were both very knowledgeable and helped address any questions and concerns we had throughout the process. They made sure we knew the timeline of when decisions needed to be made ahead of time so we had time to discuss and research prior to making any decisions. > > By far, the best thing I can say about Aspire is that they stand behind their work and craftsmanship, even after you close. They continue to show up to finish any remaining punch list items and address any issues that have popped up since we moved in. There has been no hesitation or question when we ask for them to swing by to look at something. Aspire built us a beautiful home and we would absolutely work with them again in the future! **Comment from Aspire Fine Homes:** > Thanks Ashley. We loved working with you guys, and I really love your stunning fireplace design. It really makes an impact when you first walk into your beautiful home. **★★★★★ — Mark Chmiel, Feb. 2023** > Dave and his team exceeded our expectations with both an outstanding product and also incredible customer service. And furthermore, when the final house was delivered, we came in under budget despite a handful of changes we elected to do mid project. I cannot emphasize enough how happy we are with our new home. The Aspire team was direct, honest, and thoughtful. Everything they said they would do, they did and then some. We leaned on Aspire for advice, asking for the pros / cons, asking to price out different options, you name it, and they were happy to accommodate. Dave and team are relentless in making sure they deliver the highest quality product, no matter what. We couldn’t be happier and will forever be thankful to the whole Aspire team! **Comment from Aspire Fine Homes:** > Thanks for the kind words Mark. You and your wife were such of blessing to work with! So glad you and your family love your new home. **★★★★★ — Shaun & Marianna Simmons, Jan. 2023** > From when we first walked into our first meeting, we knew we had chosen the right builder. The finishes David showed us in his current projects(at the time) looked amazing and were ended up being a real inspiration when we designed our home. They walked us through step-by-step and my favorite part was how transparent and upfront they communicated any issues as they came up. Aspire always had a solution and even clever ways to cut down on costs while enhancing the overall look of the home. It is always important to know that the most expensive option is not always the best. > > Lastly, I want to thank the whole team at Aspire and credit them for a for a job well done. It is nice to know, that even now I can reach out to them for advice/guidance for the upkeep of my new home. > > Thank you Aspire! ## Selected projects - [Contemporary - Overcup](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/contemporary-overcup-pj-vj~6629163) - Location: Houston, TX - Photos: 39 - Description: With nearly 5,000 square feet, this 5 bedroom 4.1 bath home features an impressive floor plan with large open spaces.
