Homes By Josh Doyle

Josh, Matt, and The Whole HBJD Team, We wanted to thank you for a GREAT experience building our forever home with you! From the beginning we were very comfortable and knew that we were going to be taken care of. After our first meeting at the office the Pandemic hit and most of the communication was thru email and Zoom for the next few months. The entire team made it very easy to contact them and help answer any questions about the house. After we had almost finished the design for our house with a 2nd Floor Master Bedroom, Jake lost his father after 4 years of battling an illness that left him wheelchair-bound. This made us re-evaluate the design of our home and the team at HBJD was very helpful in ‘scratching’ our first design to start one with a First Floor Master. In a matter of a month, we were right back to where we were with our original house and we were able to keep all of the changes in a seamless transition. After some time dealing with permits, we broke ground in December and didn’t look back. Matt did an excellent job managing the job and keeping us informed through each step. He was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire job, even taking calls late at night. Jake did the Plumbing and HVAC for the house and Matt worked with him on schedules and deadlines for the other contractors. We would especially like to recognize Anna with Cutting Edge Countertops. She helped Jackie find the countertops she wanted and even excitedly emailed after we had made our selections that she may have found a different piece that we may like even better. The day finally came and the house was finished and we have finally moved in to our forever home and couldn’t be more excited to start the rest of our lives in our new HBJD Home! Jake & Jackie

When my wife and I began meeting with builders, we quickly realized how difficult our decision would be to choose the right one for us. What sold us on Homes by Josh Doyle was quality. We found that many builders were willing to sacrifice the quality of the home just to make a sale. HbJD demands high quality and energy efficiency in every home they build. We took plans we previously had designed when we met with Josh. He immediately noticed flaws and customized the plans to make them more practical while keeping the same general flow of the layout. Then, after meeting with the design team, we were able to tweak and finalize the floor plan to fulfill our wish list. Once we broke ground, minor adjustments came up to which HbJD was gracious to allow. HbJD allowed us to have my uncle do our electric and we built our own deck to help with cost. Our build manager Jake was helpful as well as very knowledgeable. He willingly dealt with our many (sometimes daily) phone calls and questions. It is obvious to us that he takes pride in his work. Here we are in our beautiful home and looking back on this process. We are relived HbJD was our final choice. We love our home and would chose Homes by Josh Doyle every time! Respectfully, Nick and Shaina Proudfoot

Hello Josh and HBJD Team, Firstly I want to say THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart for building our dream home. We went to great lengths and did tons of research to find the PERFECT builder. We looked into all of the local builders and contractors. A few had some of the qualities we liked but HBJD had the look and quality we were looking for. I am a firm believer in the old saying "you get what you pay for". When we first met with Josh, we knew we wanted him and his team to build our home. He was down to earth, honest and blunt (our kind of people) we knew we could trust him. Any builder willing to show the world exactly what materials they use right up front, shows that they care about quality. HBDJ is the only builder we've seen that does this. During our initial meeting with Josh we told him our budget and our vision, it was comforting knowing that he could work with any budget. It did not matter if we could afford a $100,000.00 home or a billion dollar home. He listened to everything we envisioned in our future home and showed us different floor plans that we could make work. Building during a pandemic was not ideal but I am thankful we were fortunate enough to be able to. Our field manager was Matt, he was very helpful during the whole process. Any issues we had he would work quickly to resolve them for us. He kept us in the loop and let us know if things were going to be delayed (due to covid 19). He acted fast to resolve any issues or concerns we had. Our carpenter was hands down the best around, we are beyond grateful for his attention to detail on everything he did. Having amazing contractors and a field manager like we did made this a great experience for us. It takes some of the stress away and puts your mind at ease when you know you have great contractors doing amazing work. Over-all the building process went smoothly and very minimal stress. Its a wonderful feeling being able to see our visions turn into reality! We could not be more pleased with our decision to go with Homes By Josh Doyle. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone go to HBJD if you're looking to build!" Forever grateful, Mike and Christie

We just moved into our new home by Josh Doyle and have had such a positive building experience! We were sold on HBJD after touring their model houses but now that we’ve seen the entire build process it’s no wonder they’re able to create such beautiful homes. Building a house during a pandemic is no easy task but our project manager Scott handled every step of the build process with transparency, organization and efficiency. We enjoyed being able to be a part of the process every step of the way. This will truly be an experience that we treasure forever! THANK YOU HBJD! —Nena & Jon Spence

Our plans in retirement were to buy a house in Catawba to enjoy the life of living close to Lake Erie. The houses we viewed did not match our expectations and forced us to make the decision to build. Little did we know what challenging decisions needed to be made to build a dream house that met our criteria. Fortunately for us, the Josh Doyle team took the lead and designed the Erie house that matched our dreams. From the initial dig ( and we were there to watch) and to the to the final nail we couldn't be more impressed. From the bottom of our hearts we give a big shout out to every employee on your staff that had input on our dream house. The sub contractors were cordial and professional as they all worked together to build our dream. Lastly, I must add that our project manager, Matt Bergfeld, orchestrated and managed the build to perfection. We toast the Josh Doyle team for a job well done as the house is now a Home, and we couldn't be happier. Regards, Roger and Kathy Wanemacher

We want to thank Homes by Josh Doyle for a positive experience while building our home. As a first-time builder, our experience was seemingly flawless. At the very first meeting we brought in our own floor plan concept. They listened to every detail that we envisioned. Josh then added his touch to help us design our truly custom dream home. The 3D modeling gave us a vision and made us feel at ease with our decision. Everybody that works for Homes by Josh Doyle is friendly and professional. Matt, our field manager, did his job perfectly. He was kind and answered any question or concern that we may have had. He always kept us informed as to the status of our build. We broke ground and moved in five months later. Building during the pandemic never stopped the staff from working hard and communicating with us. The compliments that we receive are endless. Thanks to the HBJD team for our beautiful new home. We love it and can’t say thank you enough! Jordan & Shana

We had spent years thinking about building our forever home & many years thinking about the layout and the design! Last May we decided to put our home up for sale, and it sold in less than a month. We called the office of Josh Doyle & they set up a meeting with Josh for the next week! We knew exactly what we wanted, & while on vacation with is family, Josh created an open floor plan that we had envisioned for so long. From then on it was pretty easy sailing! Our meetings with the staff were great & our filed manager, Matt is top notch. He helped guide us through all the decisions & made all of my ideas work inside our home! There's nothing that guy can't do!! Every company they had come in were so professional & loved our unique design that the whole team helped to create. We are so thankful to have built with Josh Doyle & are in love with our forever home placed in the middle of our 13 ace homestead! Nichole & Jake Gradel

Almost a year after we moved in to our JD home, we still look around and can't believe that this is our house. HBJD is truly a custom home builder. Early in this process, we went through some models and were impressed, so we met with Josh and described what we were looking for and our budget. He showed us a couple of his designs that were close to what we were describing. We really liked the basic layout of the Vail, so we went through a Vail model and were were hooked. We proceeded over the next month or so to ask for changes. 9 ft. ceilings ... no problem. Bigger master ... no problem. Bigger garage to accommodate a full size truck ... no problem. Bathroom in the garage with a large basin sink ... no problem. Partial walkout basement with lots of natural light ... no problem. Plumbing rough-in in the basement for a future bathroom ... no problem. All these features have given us a one of a kind house that suits us perfectly. Once we had the design done, things moved along well and generally followed the time frame that they discussed with us. Our dig day was in November of '19, so shortly into the build, Covid hit. Much to our surprise, things proceeded on budget and schedule and we were in by June of '20! We checked in often, and from what we observed, the craftsmen that they used were impressive, especially the drywallers, painters, and finish carpenter. The fit and finish is top notch. There were a few issues along the way, but our manager Matt, always assured us that everything would be taken care of to our satisfaction and he was correct. We highly reccomend HBJD.

After wanting to move to a new home for a while, we bought a lot but were still very unsure on who should build our house. We looked at quite a few model houses and narrowed it down to 2 builders. After talking with both builders Josh Doyle was much more passionate so we decided to build a home with him. At his office, we felt welcomed, with cute drawings left by his kids it was obvious he was a family guy. We at first got to see a 3d model which he had customized to our liking. It had especially been nice since he asked me and my little sister what we wanted in our bedroom and bathroom with our budget. Which made us feel included and welcomed. Shortly after our visit, about 3 weeks later the dirt for the house had begun being dug. We got to pick every little thing a house needs along the way. This included where the outlets were, what finish the metal is, and much more. We told this information to our project manager Matt and he was amazing at helping us. Overall the building experience with Josh Doyle was great and we love our new home! If you’re looking for a builder Josh Doyle would be the way to go!

We are in love with our new home! We narrowed it down to a couple builders, but Josh Doyle was the only owner who personally took the time to sit down and talk with us himself. We knew after that first meeting that he was who we wanted in charge of our dream home. In that first meeting we told Josh what we wanted in a home. Our ideas, our plans and within the week he had a design drawn up for us that was perfect! From start to finish our home building ran smoother than I ever imagined. A huge thank you goes out to our project manager, Matt. He answered our questions day and night and always took care of any concerns or questions we had immediately. We loved stopping by each evening after the workers had left to see the progress that was made throughout the day. HBJD goes above and beyond with the attention to detail, windows, trim, doorways, outdoor canlight ...etc the list goes on and on. We couldn't be happier with choosing HBJD to build our dream home for our family. Thank you Josh, Matt and team. ~The Rees Family~

We have been in our home built by Homes by Josh Doyle for almost 2 years and we have absolutely loved it! Our close friends had already built with Homes by Josh Doyle, so we jumped in with confidence. We started the process with plenty of ideas accumulated over many years of planning and dreaming. Josh listened to everything and incorporated these ideas into his own vision and created a masterpiece. We were very happy with his final design, but he still reworked it through the process and made the it even better! He has assembled an amazing team. Mike was with us through the whole process. He was very responsive to any and all questions we had and kept us on track with the numbers. With such a big project, he really helped us navigate the challenges of keeping within our desired budget. Kasey, our field manager was the best. He kept us up to date with each step of the project and helped guide us first timers through the whole process. He was always responsive to any questions we had and really made the project as stress free as possible. We felt very lucky to have Kasey as our field manager. We have come to appreciate the quality our home with only minor punch list issues coming up during our first year. Adam and Todd have been great with getting these minor issues fixed even through the Covid-19 epidemic. Bottom line, choose Homes by Josh Doyle with confidence. They have designed and built our forever dream home and we could not be more happy and grateful.

We started our home in July of 2020 we reside in a barn on the property and were fortunate enough to walk over everyday to check progress of the house. From day one our project manager kept us in the loop with what is taking place and what we can expect would be coming next. We can honestly say there were no real issues with the construction of our house, however if we did discover something small that needed corrected it was always taken care of before moving to the next step of the build. We shopped around between large and small builders and could not be any happier that we ended up with HBJD. We felt we received the custom quality of a small private builder at a much more affordable price and a much faster speed throughout the building process. The materials and standards used in our house were above and beyond what you can get from a home built by other large builders in this market. When we sat down for the design process we were asked questions and gave recommendations for what they felt would look best but we always felt like it was our decision to make when it came to the final say in our house. Between the recommendations from the experience they have and us sharing our vision for what we wanted they worked with us to give us a home we are truly proud of. Starting in July we were worried that COVID-19 would put a delay on our build, we started in July of 2020 and we still received our keys to move in before Christmas.
