Federow Development

Federow Development built our gorgeous home, during a pandemic-- they stayed on track, and on budget. The entire team was pleasant to work with. The entire experience was relatively stress-free. I had no idea building a house could be as smooth as it was. Overall, I couldn't be happier. Even after we took over ownership of the house, Garrett was easy to get ahold of and accessible.

We purchased our home from Federow Development and I highly recommend Garrett Federow and his company, Federow Development for any new construction home or renovation. Our home was under construction when we went entered into a purchase contract and 7 months later as promised, our home was completed on time. Garrett and his team worked with our family to customize every element of our home. Garrett is detailed, smart, patient and knowledgeable. He is not just a builder, but he understands every element of home construction, style and design. He helped me customize my kitchen and even made us a custom oven hood to create the look of a magazine photo I had from Architectural Digest. Garrett worked to bring in some European appliances which made installation more challenging for his team - but he was willing to take it on. He worked with me to make my exterior patio larger than the original size spec'd. Garrett took down walls from the original floor plan when we asked. He showed me by example, what certain elements would look like in our home by bringing us to see other homes he was building in town. He helped me choose and price out appliances. Garrett brought us into his home to show us examples of work that he has done for himself. There was no question that Garrett or his team left unanswered. Whether you are hands on like me and like to be involved in every decision or you are looking for a a company who can make decisions for you, I highly recommend Federow development.

We purchased a new construction home in Needham, MA from Garret and Sara Federow in summer of 2020. QUALITY - You can tell Garrett has been doing this a long time. He really thinks of everything and makes tweaks along the way to ensure everything is just right. This includes major items, like the placement of water, sewage, and gas systems/manifolds -- to moderate items such as the placement of a gas rough in for the grill -- to smaller finishes such as the trim work around toilet water supply lines. TIMELINESS - Our house was in construction during the COVID-19 crisis and during that time, he was able to maintain an on-track schedule and secure all products needed to complete the property. In fact, we actually closed ~1 month early. RESPONSIVENESS - During the build process, both Garrett and Sara were extremely responsive, we met on zoom multiple times throughout the build process (we were remote) and were able to make key decisions quickly. Every decision we made was implemented based on our specifications FINISHES & DESIGN - Both Sara and Garrett helped us immensely in this area. As noted above, our build occurred during the COVID-19 crisis. As such, most retail outlets were closed and we were unable to look at tile/hardware/countertops in person. They worked with us to understand our style preferences and provided multiple idea options for us to consider. We are thrilled with the selections we made and how they helped inform the finishes in the house.

We could not be happier with the home that we purchased from Federow Development. Not knowing Garrett until touring our new home, we were immediately impressed by the attention to detail, quality of the construction, and enthusiasm for his craft. We did not view a single house that came close to the amenities that Federow Development provided. Throughout the next year, Garrett and his crew were frequently in touch and took care of the punch list and beyond. Ultimately, we put our trust in Federow Development, and they delivered. We are fortunate to find our new home, and we could not more strongly recommend Federow Development in the Needham area.

We hired Federow Development for a custom build and our new house is exactly what we had envisioned. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is outstanding. We really trust that Garrett has our best interests in mind and he really listened to us and integrated all of our requests. The house was completed on schedule and under budget. The entire process was enjoyable!

Federow Development were easy to work with throughout the buying process. Great attention to detail from top to bottom, with excellent quality throughout our wonderful new home.

My wife and I could not be more happy with our new home and the whole experience during construction. Garrett, Sara and the team around them are incredible. They take tremendous pride in their work, they're personable and just absolute pros at what they do. I'd strongly recommend them to anyone considering a new build or major renovation.

I am an interior designer who has worked with Garrett on many projects thus far. We have worked together on new construction as well as large home additions. Garrett is intuitive, thoughtful, and very open to working with specific client needs. He is incredibly timely in his work, and has a great crew to support him. The quality of materials that he uses are top grade, and he takes great pride in his finished project. I highly recommend Federow Developement, and Ii look forward to working with Garrett again.
