Wow, where to begin? My wife and I first met Alex Certain of Certain Homes Inc. in 2015 as we were starting our search for a new home for our family. We came across a couple of the properties that Certain Homes was building in our area and immediately fell in love with the quality and style of work being done. Unable to find what we were looking for on the existing home's real estate market, we began to contemplate the daunting task of designing and building our forever dream home.
Ultimately, the relationship we built with Alex Certain together with his knowledge, patience, expertise, and trustworthiness made the decision to build that much easier. Alex patiently guided us along the way as we did our due diligence finding and purchasing the right piece of land, worked with our lender on a construction loan, designed and planned with our architect, and navigated the local and county permitting and approval process. Alex, and Certain Homes Inc., quickly provided us with the answers to our questions or put us in contact with the appropriate resources to keep our project moving forward.
Next came construction. Alex's diligence and attentiveness to detail is unlike anything we'd ever experienced. His planning, preparedness, and professional relationship with his network of high-quality sub-contractors resulted in the build of a 6000sf single-family home on a half-acre wooded lot in less than a year's time, with a hurricane thrown in the mix for extra measure. He kept us informed, engaged, and ahead of the game throughout the entire build process; thereby preventing any unnecessary delays and cost overruns.
We've been in our home now for a little over three years and can't be happier. It's like a never-ending honeymoon. In addition, Certain Homes continues to be there for us when needed. When minor issues have needed to be quickly addressed, or when we decided to move forward with the build of an outdoor BBQ area, Alex and Certain Homes have been there for us. Alex will always answer your call or quickly return your message.
I really can't say enough about Alex Certain and Certain Homes, Inc. I highly recommend Certain Homes for any new home construction, enhancement, or remodeling project. During the build process, I recall a very telling conversation with the local building inspector. I asked him what he thought of the project to date and of his opinion of the work being done. His response was along the line of "In my many years as a building inspector, I have never seen such a quality structural build of a single-family home." That was all I needed to hear to be certain we had made the right decision of trusting Alex and Certain Homes, Inc. with our forever home.
