Legacy Built

Portland, OR Home Builders

February 13, 2018

“We were first time home buyers and met Phillip when he had already framed the home. We were nervous committing so early in the project but Phillip arranged for us to tour homes he had recently built so we could see examples of the quality we could expect. After several meetings with him we took the plunge. There were no surprises along the way. During the final phases of construction it was apparent he had a great relationship with his subs and was well respected. Phillip and his team stood behind the build 100% during the warranty period. Would not hesitate to buy another home built by Phillip if we ever move.”

“"I would highly recommend Michael Arnett to be your contractor. We had a great experience with him in our major remodel of our home and we love it!! Prior to using Michael we had a smaller house in SW Portland we had done some remodeling to and was not as easy as an experience as we did with Michael.. Michael was spot on in his budget and as we went along with any upgrades etc. he was so consistent in letting us know if we chose added cost. I honestly will recommend him to anyone.”

Westlake Development Group, LLC

Portland, OR Home Builders

August 26, 2013

“We have had the great pleasure of working on a number of homes with Gerald and the team at Westlake Development. They have set a high standard of excellence with maintaining communication between the designers and subcontractors and clients to make sure the project runs smoothly and on-schedule, but ultimately it's their dedication to satisfying the needs of the homeowner that sets Westlake apart. We were recently a part of the 'American Dream' home for the Northwest Natural Street of Dreams. Their involvement with the BBAC and the 'made in america' method of building has truly set them apart and we are excited for what the future holds as they go about bringing manufacturing back to the US.”

January 31, 2014

“I had the great pleasure of working with Stonebridge Homes as their designer for the 2012 Street of Dreams home The Oregon Dream. I have also worked with them for several of their Street of Affordable Home Shows. I was constantly impressed during the design and build process with how concerned they were with keeping quality design in the construction of their homes and as well as the finishes they chose. They always kept the targeted buyers needs and wants in mind, for easy maintenance comfort and quality. I was also greatly impressed with their concern for building energy efficient and sustainable homes while keeping the design beautiful yet functional with features that highlight the lifestyle of the Pacific Northwest. Their team is highly experienced yet easy and comfortable to work with. I always look forward to working with Stonebridge Homes, and with great pleasure give them my highest recommendation. Lisa”

Zilka Design LLC

Portland, OR Home Builders

June 14, 2020

“I could not have had a better experience with Jon, and recommend his expertise without hesitation. I wanted to add a garage to my newly purchased home, and Jon was referred to me by my real estate agent. He collaborated with me, listened carefully to my requests and then proposed options beyond my expectations. He was timely, considerate, diligent and knowledgeable. I appreciated his in depth knowledge of city requirements, his guidance and willingness to assist in every way. He walked me through tree protection, permits and even the determination of property lines. He also provided an exceptional referral for a contractor, and then made himself available to further assist in design interpretation. The end result was a design that makes my garage look as though it was built with my home, and it brings me happiness every time I pull into my driveway. Thank you Jon!”
