Custom Home Builders in Cochiti Lake

“Our builder was highly skilled in both the engineering and architecture aspects of our project, completing a green-built home within budget and on time. Having been in the home 9 years now, we can truly say it's been the best built home we've ever lived in. We would definitely recommend this builder and hire them again.”

“Kay Beason has been in the home building business for decades. She has won several prestigious awards, and some very recently. I have walked through her homes in different stages of completion. It's evident that she takes no shortcuts, and uses only the best quality materials from the ground up. She's known for taking the time to really determine what's important to her client, and then following through all the way to the final touches to make those dreams a reality. I highly recommend Kay and all her employees at Reliance Construction!”

“I highly recommend Mayhew Homes. We bought a spec home they built and have been pleased with the craftsmanship. The house is holding up well after almost 10 years. Very well built.”

“Gerry and his team built a casita, a roof deck, an outdoor kitchen, and a patio outside the master bedroom. In addition, they heated our very steep driveway and updated or repaired numerous things in our house. The quality has been first rate, all of the subs were exceptional and Gerry is very easy to work with. He has also responded instantly with small emergency situations that have arisen such as roof leaks in a house he did not build. I know I can count on him to come through in any situation that may come up, whether it is a new building idea or a new problem in the existing house. He is not inexpensive, but if you have a high end home that deserves the best or are looking to build your dream home, we highly recommend Madera Builders.”

“My husband and I recently completed a major remodel and addition to our North Valley home. We interviewed multiple candidates for contracting the work, and we fully agreed on hiring Jon Hartenberger for his insistence on quality, his many years in the business of home building, and his clear communication with us and his sub-contractors. Jon personally spent many hours just to formulate an accurate bid for our work. Our job included the addition of a new garage and bedroom, as well as the remodel of 2 bedrooms/3 bathrooms, a guest suite (plus kitchen) and conversion of an old garage to a family room. When doing a large remodel or addition you meet many people within the trades community and everyone we met with told us that Jon is "a true craftsman." His attention to details, plans to foresee future problems and prevent them, or to creatively work through a desired style or function within our budget was very evident throughout this project. Jon's quality of work is a priority to him and he carries that over into all the work he oversees from other sub-contractors. The most notable characteristics of Jon's professionalism are in his integrity and in his ability to communicate. There are always unforeseeable problems that arise in the remodel of an older house, but Jon would clearly describe and show us any issues and discuss the options for fixing them before proceeding. We always had the contract to refer to for specific costs but if new things came up, pricing was always discussed and decided upon in advance so that no "extras" we're ever surprises. This was our first home remodeling experience and Jon was available to listen to our questions or desires and provide an open line of communication throughout the entire project. Our case was also unique in that we wanted to live in a sectioned off portion of our home during the remodel, and with three small kids this was not an easy task! But Jon led his team of sub-contractors to be courteous and cautious as we were always on site. I truly have no complaints of their regard for safety and overall respectfulness while in our home. Some contractors manage multiple large projects but aren't fully present at any of them. Jon was at our home doing or overseeing the work himself 90% of the time. If there is one critique we'd have of Jon's work, it would be that true craftsmanship takes a decent amount of time. Other contractors had projected that they could complete the work in less time. That being said, we are incredibly pleased with the results and feel confident that the work wasn't being done haphazardly but in a fashion that will far outlast our time in the house. We plan to use Hartenberger Construction for our next home remodeling project, and can confidently say we look forward to a continued professional relationship.”

“My wife and I highly recommend Seidel Construction, Remodel & Design. The experience of partnering with them for our remodel was wonderful. All the way through the process they were quite helpful, knowledgeable and professional. The listened and patiently collaborated with us through the design process. The their work is high quality, completed on time and any changes that might affect the agreed budget were discussed thoroughly. Everyone involved were courteous, skilled, minimized the impact on our living space and always cleaned up each day. The end result was a beautiful, functional, high quality remodel that we will enjoy for many years to come. I would gladly use them again and I recommend them to everyone we know.”

“Gemstone is a wonderful company to work with! My new kitchen is beautiful. The work was quoted accurately and completed in a timely manner. The workers left the workspace tidy every day and were very respectful and polite. We are hiring them again to replace our windows and stucco.”

“Bob, built our house. We loved the "curb" appeal as we pulled into the long attractive driveway. As we walked thru the gate into the outer court yard the front doors were stunning. Entering into the"great" room was very inpressive--high ceilings with massive log beams was beautiful. We went right to the kitchen, perfect. We were sold right there! The rest of the house was just as impressive. A large master bedroom with the same beam ceiling as the "great" room led to the master bath which was perfect. We never looked at another house & closed the "deal' that day. We are "transplants" from So. Ca. and had been looking in Santa Fe. for a # of months. Local friends found the house for us called us and we flew over to look at it the following weekend. We just love this house!! We completed a lot of fine tuning thru Bob. All his "subs" did excellent work and Bob continues to be a friend to this day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”

“August Construction is a great, local company that can get just about any job done. We have a long history of working them, and try to use them whenever we can. They are currently building a house for us and we couldn't be happier with the progress! The house will be finished later this summer, and we'll be sure to post photos of the completed residence.”
