Nelson Builders
New & Custom Home Builders in Oakwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 13, 2017
“We hired Nelson Builders to fix our entryway that our original home builder had built incorrectly. During the rehab project Matt Nelson personally assisted with the project. His knowledge and skill for understanding framing, electrical, finishing, and attention to detail impressed my husband and I. It is rare to find a builder who truly knows how to build quality, well-designed homes. I cannot speak highly enough about our positive experience. I only wish we would have found him sooner, we would have loved for him to have designed and built our entire home. Nelson Builders are different than any other builder because they don't skip on quality and there truly is such close attention to detail. They were able fix and transform our home into what we always wanted. We are so thankful for Matt's help in fixing our entryway! I've included a Before & After picture so you can see the great work by Nelson Builders.”

“GreenGoose Homes built our custom home in West Lafayette. The staff was courteous, professional, fun, and friendly. The builder kept the subcontractors on schedule (weather permitting) and demanded quality work from them. We appreciated their attention to detail and customer service. Even though we have moved in, GreenGoose is still making sure we are satisfied with our home by addressing after move-in punch list items. We highly recommend this builder!!”
Cramer Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Oakwood
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 26, 2016
“I can't say enough nice things about working with Jeff and his wife Kelly on making our dream home a reality. We were very reluctant to build from scratch because we had good friends that went with a larger builder in Champaign that just kept passing them off to different crew foremen throughout the whole process. They actually never met the real owner. I appreciated the fact that we only had to deal with Jeff from beginning to end. He made the building process fun and very rewarding and Kelly was a huge help when it came to picking out fixtures, countertops and paint that brings it all together. It is obvious that they both have a great eye for details. Thanks again for listening to our wants and needs and we look forward to working with you on our next home.”

“About 15 years ago, Carl Hill and his team built our 3,700-sq. fr. Home in Urbana, IL. It was a beautifully constructed house and the place where we raised our family, so it helped create a lot of great memories. Carl worked with us to revise the original plans to get just the home we wanted, and we lived there for 10 years. (We only downsized to save money when our youngest left for college.) Since then, Carl has also helped us with renovations in our new home, including finishing our entire basement, and we couldn't be happier. He's a conscientious builder who attends to the details and makes his clients happy!”

“After seeing a floor plan we liked last year we contacted Steve Meid at Signature Homes. We have been delighted with the incredible organization and attention to detail he has given us in building our new home. I have worked in the construction and design business and I cannot express how very easy this process has been. Steve has kept things on time and on budget despite a couple weather setbacks. On time and on budget is unheard of when building a new home or renovating an old one. I cannot say how very impressed and pleased we are!”
