Green Building Companies in Elmo

“We carefully interviewed several builders before we selected Kevin Jackson and his team at Train Custom Homes. Building your dream home on a raw, unimproved piece of land without water or utilities is at best a daunting task, and we’re thankful and blessed that we picked a partner like Train. As discriminating clients, we appreciated Kevin’s integrity and high level of building expertise. He is very thoughtful, extremely honest and very passionate about what he does. First and foremost, Train will build a quality home with “great bones”. They utilize superior and innovative building materials from the foundation to energy efficient insulation and HVAC systems. We participated in every stage of our build, and know that we have a structurally superior house. With Train, your home is engineered to stand for a lifetime. Kevin helped us translate a vision, some sketches and a portfolio of curated photos to a set of architectural plans, and then executed those plans with incredible workmanship and attention to detail. That level of service remained consistent throughout our entire build and even after we moved in, with Train making whatever small adjustments were required. From a design perspective, Train is a true “custom” homebuilder. Kevin has the creative ability to fuse traditional, rustic Texas ranch or farmhouse structures with modern, contemporary and industrial interior finishes. Some builders have one style aesthetic but that’s not the case with Train. With our home, Kevin embraced the challenge of working with unique finishes like recycled glass and concrete countertops (Vetrazzo) and helping us source rare porcelain plank floors that look like reclaimed barn wood. From a customer service standpoint, they’re exceptional. Your calls and e-mails will be returned. They also have a great team of sub-contractors and artisans, which have been with them for years. It is clear there is a level of personal pride that goes into each client project. They back that pride with a solid warranty program and in our case, we’re pleased that our project came in within budget. When your friends and family tell you your home should be in Architectural Digest---that’s just a bonus. It’s a big responsibility to build someone’s home. A home is the core of a family, it’s your sanctuary and it’s a serious financial investment, one that can cannot be entrusted to just any builder. We truly love our new home and highly recommend Train Custom Homes. We plan to use them again on any future building projects.”

“Mike Blake Custom Homes was highly recommended by my architect. When it came to building our dream home, my wife and I were very picky. I had heard horror stories from others that had built custom homes that "you and your builder will hate each other by the time your house is finished". After hearing that, I was concerned that I would have to compromise a lot on my thoughts and ideas for the house and on the overall quality that I would likely be demanding. Turns out there was no reason to feel that way. Quality was never an issue. I thought I would have to be present nearly every day to oversee things to be sure they were done right but I soon realized that was not necessary. They had things well under control without me and it was a big relief knowing that things would be done right. I can honestly say that my wife and I have actually become closer and better friends with Mike and Kim than we were before we built. In fact, we have been out to dinner with them several times since our home was completed. They were both very helpful all along the way during construction and were more like partners in the process rather than builders. Picking out colors, styles, etc. seemed like a daunting task but Kim was right with us holding our hand every step of the way. Early after moving in, there were a few minor issues that needed attention and Mike was very prompt about coming out to fix/repair when I notified him. We have had no major warranty issues at all since moving in. Overall, we have no regrets and would not think twice about using Mike and Kim again as our builders. You will be very pleased with their professionalism and the quality of the finished product. They will stand behind everything they do!”

“Chris completely remodeled our master bathroom; It involved removing the vanity tops and sinks, modifying the counters to increase storage, removing the old small stand - alone shower and turning it into a closet, tearing out the whirlpool tub and replacing it with an extraordinary large walk-in shower with frameless glass door and wall. He also removed an octagonal shaped window and replaced that with a 4" x 4" glass block window that brings daylight into the shower. The floor was replaced with ceramic tile that matches the shower, a new vanity top was installed with new sinks and hardware and the whole place re painted. It's been over 2 years now and it still looks like new and we enjoy it every day. It was well worth the time it took to get the job done. We chose the best quality materials money allowed and it turned out to our satisfaction. M & W Simard”

“I met Mike over 12 years ago. I design homes for a lot of different builders. Until I went into a house Mike was building. I was amazed at the craftsmanship and quality of his homes. Mike Cusack Homes is like no other builder. We instantly became great friends and the builder of my choice. I love it when Mike gets to build a house that I designed. Because he takes it to the next level. Mike has been using the same work crews for years. Mike is passionate about his houses. You can not go wrong with Mike Cusack Homes.

“Best guys in the business. They are great to work with and stand behind everything they do. My wife and I were very happy with the home they built us and we constantly get great feedback from people who visit.”

“I recently bought a home from Gehan Homes. The process went great. They worked with my husband and I in our price range and helped us get all of the additional fixtures we wanted. No complaints!”

“Before remodeling, our kitchen was outdated, cramped and awkwardly organized. Rosewood Custom Builders transformed it into a spacious room with ample storage, efficient work stations and an abundance of custom details. Looking forward to Rosewood Custom Builders renovating our two home offices.”

“Bella Vista is an excellent resource for remodeling, additions or construction. They continually come up with innovative and creative ideas on design and use of space. They stay on schedule and are extremely professional and honest.”

“Great home builder that cares about their customer and their wants. When building a home, so many things are personal to the buyers and J.Parker understands this and works with you to make sure you get what you want and are happy. The entire team there is a pleasure to work with and we've had no complaints. Hopefully our new home will be complete by year end thanks to J.Parker!”

“We hired Callie Custom Homes to build a covered patio attached to our home. The quality of work was outstanding. The patio cover looks like it was an original part of the home construction. They met all work schedules and construction time lines and delivered as promised. I would hire them again and would recommend them to anyone who wants quality workmanship.”
