Custom Home Builders in Thornton

“Kreg did two projects for me. Both involved repair of an old house that had extensive structural rot. He did an excellent job in both cases restoring the house to like new condition while controlling costs. I would definitely engage him for future projects”

“Greg did a major renovation on my 1974 ranch house. He was fantastic. The work was top notch--careful, intelligent, clean. When he thought something could be done more economically, he told me. He's SMART and thoughtful and also he's got great taste. I trusted his sensibilities. He was also easy to LIVE with, which is, essentially, what happens during a home renovation. He's just a lovely person.”

“As a builder of quality custom homes, we always strive to forge relationships with developers and organizations that foster our values for creating beautiful high performance homes in sustainable communities. No where have we found a partner that supports that more than the team at Sippcan Partners. Upon hearing the vision for their latest project at Squam River Landing, our company realized we had met a team with a vision for what the essence of sustainability was; to build in a way that supports the local economy, creates and adds to the sense of community in Ashland and the surrounding area, and provides a positive way of life for generations to come. They are a team of people that are great to work with, making every meeting opportunity a positive experience and always inviting ways to meet the needs of their clients and the community at large. I give them my highest recommendation, for their high level of integrity, to their simplistic way to do business and for diving into creating a beautiful development in a special place in the NH lakes region.”

“We have used Riverlight Builders for many projects and will use them for all future projects. They have built a master bedroom suite including luxury bathroom, powder room, laundry room and renovated two kitchens for us. Their design team is excellent and expertly and efficiently solved those unexpected issues that can arise when renovating an old house. We have never experienced a more trustworthy and hardworking team who builds within the estimated time and budget.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Alan Mann on four distinct projects over a 10 year period of time. All have been large, multi-week remodeling projects that have improved our home (and our parent’s home). These projects have included all aspects of home building and have been delivered earlier than expected with excellent value. Our most recent project was a major remodel of our kitchen. Ironically, we had friends doing the same – our project started later, ended earlier, was less expensive and yet was for a larger space. Previous projects have included adding extensive trim work to a previously unadorned house, converting an attic space to a two person office with sitting area, adding a bathroom, built-ins for multiple bedrooms, and rehabbing an older ranch (our parent’s home) that had significant structural damage from pests. In general, we have come to view Alan as our partner in home improvement who not only delivers excellent work but helps us with both the small and large choices that come with any construction project. He has an excellent eye and judgment for trim work -- our crown molding project was a collaboration between myself and Alan (with no outside design help) and we were thrilled with the result. Our kitchen team did include a design professional as well as two outside subs – Alan’s easy demeanor and professionalism saw us through the type of project that strains many teams. He worked with all the team members smoothly and scheduled his work to minimize disruption to our household. He shows up ready to work hard but with a cheerful attitude that makes the project more fun and less daunting. At this point, Alan is always my first call for any project and he is well worth waiting for when his schedule fills.”

“Great work, great crew. Most of all keeps in contact during project to make sure you are pleased with the work.I highly recommend this company”

“We have contracted with Earthshare Construction to design and restore a 19th century Vermont farmhouse. We chose Earthshare Construction because of owner Ethan Cole's commitment to the environment, knowledge of period home construction, responsiveness to our questions, and an overall balance of authority and openness to our design requests. We originally planned on tackling the project ourselves believing our remodeling projects over the past 30 years would suffice. We decided to call a few contractors in just to see if we were on the right track. I was sold on Ethan as the contractor for us when he quickly assessed our view and stated "We need to find a way to bring the outdoors in!" Throughout the design stage Ethan has been true to that vision and has recognized the beauty of incorporating and retrofitting original aspects of the house. Our design plans do just that in an environmentally responsible way. We begin construction in the next few weeks and look forward to working with Ethan over the next year.”

“Great Company. My family has used them for years. They know how to get the job done and how to make it look good!”

“It took Eli, John and Tom 2.5 weeks to build our 28 x12 farmers porch. They were here on time everyday, finished ahead of schedule and worked through snowstorms and some very foul weather. Christian, the Project Manager was very accessible and on budget. It was the perfect team!”

“Bill Allen built a solar house for my wife and me in 2008. Much of his previous work had been updating old houses so he was used to solving problems. Our house presented some problems to him and he solved them and kept the project moving forward. We built using SIP panels for the walls and roof and these have kept us warm. With most of the glass on the south side. When the temperature is 10 degrees, if the sun is shining you don't need heat from the fireplace insert that basically heats the entire house. Bill likes old wood and introduced many nice accents to the project and these give this "new" house some character. He worked with my design and created a great house. This included getting the contractors to use glues that were low in volatiles. He used good sub-contractors and worked with his crew to do the carpentry work. The house is doing well and there were virtually no call-back issues that needed to be dealt with. He built a quality house and did it at a reasonable cost.”
