Featured Reviews for New & Custom Home Builders in Franklin County

J. Parrish Builders
New & Custom Home Builders in Franklin County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 10, 2016
“My wife and I had an excellent experience working with JP throughout our complete home renovation. He was able to complete our total renovation on time (4 months) and on budget. My wife is a pretty decisive person and had a lot of ideas about what finishes she wanted etc. JP would listen and either agree or would offer an alternative that was either more in line with our budget or something he found to be well liked by other homeowners he has worked with. JP was onsite and very accessible. The website he uses allowed me to track the financials on a daily basis. It also allowed us to be involved in the communication between JP and his sub-contractors so we would get real time updates about the status of a particular job. When we were evaluating contractors we were looking for 3 things: 1. Someone with Integrity 2. Someone with Good Communication Skills who is Accessible 3. Someone with Experience We hit a home run with JP. I can't say enough good things about our experience. If/when we build or renovate another home JP will be our guy!”
Potter House Group, Inc
New & Custom Home Builders in Franklin County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 2, 2015
“Review Date: November 19, 2014 Company Name: Potter House Group Inc Categories: Builders - Homes Remodeling - General Services Performed: Yes * More Weight is given to a review where work has been completed. Description Of Work: Potter House Group built my custom home on the site of of my previous home which was destroyed by fire. Member Comments: ,After interviewing several well-known custom builders (several of whom advertise "custom homes on your lot") we were fortunate to have been given the name Potter House Group. The President of Potter House Group met with us personally and we presented him with a situation that other custom builders who wanted to charge us up to 50% more than Potter House Group. Our situation was that lightning struck our custom home and it had to be razed with the exception of the concrete foundation and garage floor. After an initial meeting to review our plans, site, special conditions and consideration for the level of input we desired, Lee calculated an estimate that was realistic, detailed and SIGNIFICANTLY less than the other big name builders we interviewed. Rebuilding a new custom home in our Township involved a maze of obstacles and required significant expertise in dealing with permits, blueprints, township meetings, neighbors, rules and of course building inspections and sub-contractors. Lee navigated all the obstacles with expertise and professionalism. With the help of Potter House Group and its President, Lee M. Rickey, we moved into our home that met more than all of our requirements due to the knowledge and integrity of our builder. No substandard materials or workmanship was allowed, the process was professionally monitored and we now have the home of our dreams without breaking the bank! We highly recommend Potter House Group and Lee M. Rickey to anyone interested in honesty, timeliness, quality, professionalism and integrity. You cannot go wrong with Potter House Group and its owner Lee M. Rickey.”

“This truly was a company that cared for us as if we were their own family. They helped us design our home and build it from the ground up and made every step of the building process easy and enjoyable as well. Everything from the beginning was spelled out to us as to what we could expect and how we could work with them. At no point were there any hidden costs.

Eldridge Company Design | Build
New & Custom Home Builders in Franklin County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 5, 2017
“We hired Eldridge Company in August 2016 to oversee several projects in our "new" 24-year-old home: creating a large (7') arched opening in a kitchen wall, converting a window to a back door, and building a large (20' x 19') covered deck/outdoor living area. Throughout the consultation, design, and building process, Christopher Eldridge displayed exemplary communication, attention to detail, and respect for us and our property. The end results of his company's handiwork were beyond superb and we gained a trusted friend and ally for future design/build reference. We have gladly referred multiple friends to Eldridge Company for their design and build needs and remain forever grateful to have worked with this jewel of a company filled with such caring individuals!”

“Southern Comfort Homes (Lisa and Todd Heckel) built a home for us. They were on site most days and even did some of the work themselves. Their subs did quality work as well. Todd and Lisa spent time with us one on one helping to choose many details of the home like tile, wood flooring, carpeting, brick, shingles, windows & doors, etc. Lisa spent countless hours helping me make choices. Your happiness is Lisa's goal. Their personal touch and attention to detail has given us a beautiful and quality built home. I have highly recommended them and will continue to do so.”
