Throughout all of them and more, King’s Court Builders has developed its reputation as the most reliable builder by exceeding customer’s expectations in Naperville and its surrounding communities since 1986.

It should be chosen based on a long-standing reputation of guiding clients through the architectural and building process followed up by delivering what is promised.
Our core principles of honesty and integrity, plus carefully selected trade partners are not trends. That’s what has earned us the name “The Confidence Builder”.

Building a house is a large commitment for both the buyer and the builder. It takes time and patience from both parties to help the process move along smoothly and for the house to turn out as envisioned. We are happy to state that working with Pete and his team at Kings Court Builders (KCB) was a pleasant, smooth and productive experience, and that the final product – our house – exceeded our expectations.
Ours was a custom home and Pete got involved early – even before we had a signed an agreement with KCB. He assessed the suitability of the tear-down property we were going to buy and made quick notes regarding the topology, orientation, etc. He interacted with us from his initial sketches to final drawings (often working overnight), always seeking our input to shape the outcome. Some other builders had asked us to start with their standard plans and refused to build on a narrow lot like ours. Pete knew from the get-go that we were starting with a clean sheet of paper. In the end, our house that was built on a narrow lot turned out to be spacious and a pleasure to live in!
After signing the construction agreement, we worked with Courtney on material options and selection. The process that has often been described as daunting was in fact a lot of fun. Courtney was very easy to work with - always pleasant and patient with us. Her 3-D visualizations were very insightful too. She visited our old house to view our furniture and showed us where they would go on the plan for our new house. The suppliers to KCB had an adequate choice of materials which made it easier for us to pick colors, designs and products that we liked. Courtney helped us make the best color matches – for example, between the brick façade, roof shingles, windows and garage door, sometimes bringing in Linda for a second opinion. Chris (who has moved on in her career) helped double check our change orders to make sure nothing was duplicated.
Once construction was complete, Frank gave us a walkthrough that was through and encyclopedic. All the product and appliance manuals were safely left where we could find them. Ken has coordinated all warranty service with courtesy and promptness after we moved in. All-in-all our experience with KCB has been a positive and productive one and we would highly recommend them!

We are so glad our realtor referred us to Kings Court Builders. Right from our first meeting with Pete, me any my wife both felt like we were at the right place. Based on our needs and wishlist for a new home, Pete came up with drawings by the next meeting and it was right on the mark. It's like Pete knew what we really wanted, and we loved the floor plan and elevation.
Regarding Financng which was our next hurdle, we wanted time to sell our town home and make room for our down payment. Pete accomodated our request without any hesitation, and was flexible and open about the whole process. We really appreciated their kind gesture!
Courtney and Linda were our point of contacts once the house was under construction. They both were very professional, friendly, patient and easy to work with. They never said 'no' to changes which we kept making from time to time. They also helped us pick the various exterior and interior options. We really appreciate their inputs and time, which helped us get through the journey without much stress.
In spite of some minor delays, they were able to deliver our house just in time and most importanly without any compromise in quality.
Overall we are very pleased with our experience with Kings court builders. We love our new home and It's beyond our expectations. Will definetly recommend to anyone who is looking to build their dream home. They are a truly expectional team!

We HIGHLY recommend Kings Court Builders in Naperville, IL! WOW - Their staff is impeccable - from Pete, Linda, Frank, Courtney, Crystal and the many contractors that worked on our home - they were professional, trustworthy, reliable, pleasant and very qualified at their traits. We began digging in early February and closed at the end of July, on the EXACT date promised! Deadlines were met, promises were kept, and situations that came up were easily and quickly resolved! We looked forward to our many meetings with all of the KC staff- they not only were professional but very enjoyable to work with and became quick friends! The KC Superintendent, Frank went above and beyond for us and we learned so much from him during our build! What an awesome experience! If we were to build another home tomorrow, we would choose Kings Court builders again! Happy Homeowners, Tony and Jen DiNello

We hired the King’s Court team after 2 years of extensive searching for the right builder to build the home we’ve always wanted but couldn’t find in existing construction. We met with several builders, but when we met with Pete Stefani, we knew our search was over. We were impressed on house prepared Pete was at our first meeting. He took the time to listen to our requirements before we met in person and had a rough floor plan already made when we met. We made a few minor changes and then sent it to the architect for final drawings. Our new home consultant, Linda was so helpful with all the details of the selection process and guided us through every step, giving recommendations when needed. We have heard from others what a nightmare building a home could be, but our experience was quite different. Everyone at King’s Court, from Chris at the main office, Frank our building superintendent and Dave our point of contact for everything after closing and all the vendors and subcontractors involved, have all been the most pleasant and caring people. They really treat you like family and how they would want to be treated. It is no wonder why King’s Court has stood the test of time through all the ups and downs in the real estate market. You can tell the difference in quality and attention to detail that they put into our home. Needless to say, if we had to do it all over again we would pick King’s Court to build our home.

Early in 2017, we purchased a beautiful lot with an existing home on it with the intention of tearing it down and building our dream home. We did our due diligence and visited several other builders’ model homes and met with different designers, but after working with Pete Stefani, we were sold.
When we finally reached our “end-product” Pete presented us with an extremely detailed budgetary estimate. Everything was considered, from estimated permitting fees to potential asbestos abatement on the existing home which was to be torn down. There were no surprises or hidden cost, at least from what we could see.
The selection process of features was outlined and easy to follow. King’s Court utilizes the web-based Buildertrend portal which guided us through which selections we still needed to make and updated it after every meeting so we could easily review them and have access to everything when meeting with other vendors. Every time we would make a selection, we would approve and process change orders for additions or receive credits back, making it easy to track the budget.
While there are so many stories we can tell about how wonderful this process was, one really stands out to show why King’s Court is such a fantastic builder. Before the roof was totally completed and the electricity was turned on, there was a heavy fall rain. We stopped by the home on a Saturday and saw over a foot of standing water in the basement. We called Pete right away, concerned about the potential of mold and rot. Pete didn’t give us the “well, this is normal” line. His team pumped the basement totally dry, finished up the roof, got the sump pumps hooked up on a generator, and—at his own cost—hired a mold testing service to test the basement and confirm there was nothing to worry about. We received a certificate of authenticity that everything was clean and clear! What a great piece of mind for us and our two small children.
Frank and Dave addressed everything we identified during our final walkthrough and while there were a few vendors whose feet were held to the fire a bit, we closed on our home and were so unbelievably happy with how everything turned out.
All in all, we can’t recommend King’s Court enough. We aren’t the easiest people to work with, as we expect a lot for what we were paying. And on that end, Pete and his team really delivered for us. Absolute 5* builder!

We could not have been more impressed with the quality of work and dedication the Kings Court team put into our home. We were first time builders, and they made the process extremely easy and offered guidance throughout the whole process. If were ever need to move or decide to build again, the choice is simple! After interviewing 9 other builders in Naperville, we knew after only a few minutes with Pete that he was our guy! Great staff, amazing crews- highly recommended and would be happy to be a referral if ever needed!

I can't say enough about King's Court and their entire staff. From my first day contacting them about a potential project through the closing on our home and beyond they have been a first class organization. We interviewed other builders and King's Court proved far and away a better fit for us.
Our project was a complete tear down and rebuild, and Kings Court provided me with all of the information needed to make the best decision for my family. Pete and his team took a vested interest in our needs and desires for our home, and translated that into the perfect floor plan for us. We were told the home building process was very stressful, and a lot of the people we spoke to who used other builders talked about their nightmares, but we never had a negative experience with Kings Court, and the project came in a little ahead of schedule!
King's Court provided great insight and opinions into our choices as well, and made us think of all uses for particular rooms and would we really need this or that. At no time did I feel like we were being pushed into adding something into our house that we really didn't want, and in fact Pete walked me back on a few items that would have cost me a lot more money, but probably provided zero benefit for me in the home!
King's Court staff and contractors were great to work with and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a home. King's Court made us feel like we were part of the family and one of my sons even referred to our supervisor as "Uncle Frank!".

Working with KCB was honestly amazing. Pete and team were helpful, approachable, had good ideas and worked with me to implement mine. They have an amazing attention to detail, and go to great lengths to make everything perfect. I think they aim to do better than you expect, because for the most part, everything was! From the very first sit down, we knew KCB was far better in quality and process than the other builders we interviewed. Pete "got" my vision from the start and worked to hone it to perfection. We chose a completely custom option--no existing model--and something that wasn't exactly what they had done before. Pete stepped right up to the challenge and worked with me every step of the way so that my home turned out exactly as planned! I couldn't have chosen a better builder and I would use him again. And I will if I ever move, which would be tough because I LOVE my KCB home!

Thank you for building our dream house! We met with several other builders prior to making one of the biggest decisions for our future. We also debated on going with a custom home over buying a current home off the market. We quickly realized that you get exactly what you want with every detail and a very reasonable price to go with it. . When we met with Pete, we instantly felt confident and excited in working with him.
We have been in our home for 6 months and every day we walk in, we absolutely love it and am thankful we went with Kings Court Builders.

We were looking to build an off site home on a lot we owned for a few yrs now. Me and my husband visited every builder in the area and liked their work but there was something missing that kept us away from deciding the builder untill we met Pete Stefani of King Court Builders. Pete made us feel that it was for him and his transperancy in work that had kept us away from any other builder. As I mentioned we were an offsite home so we had different constraints to our process. Pete asked us what we wanted in our house, I drew him a rough sketch and Pete took over from that point to design us one of the most beautiful houses in the area. Pete build us a quality home.We had heard many horrow stories in the process of home building none of them were true for us. Pete was upfront with most of the issue we might face and any additional work we wanted were priced upfront so there were no surprises at all. The house Pete build does not have an inch of wasted space, it is beautiful and super functional in every aspect.The entire home building process was smooth sailing for us. During the building process Pete let us in the house to review the work and take as many pictures we'd like as he had nothing to hide... unlike most builders who would not let you in, in your own house. All his trade partners were grt to work with except for the flooring guy where we had a minor hiccup but that was not Pete's fault. His entire team whether it was Frank our construction manager, or Linda with selections or Chris with accounts or Mark or Scott were a pleasure to work with and showed us a grt deal of respect and sincerity to work just like Pete. We'v received rave rewiews about our house and I cannot thank Pete enough for that. I do not want to leave this house ever but if I had an oppurtunity to build house again it would be with Pete and Kings Court Builders. I highly recommend KCB and Pete for anyone who is considering building a house. KCB builds quality home and they never take their work for granted...!!! 3 Cheers for Pete and his team.!!! Thank you guys for making it a fun experience for us.

After we walked through models of Kings Court Builders, we decided to leave our home of 36 years and build with them.
There are not enough stars to indicate how wonderful this builder is to work with! They have a concise, step-by-step process to make the various choices and their costs available to the buyer--no surprises at the end of the process!
The construction of the house was of high quality, and the various contractors were pleasant and patient with our various questions. They worked with us to make sure all of our ideas could be incorporated into our new home.
We couldn't be more pleased with our new home, thanks to Kings Court Builders!

Working with Kings Court was a pleasure! We discussed with them our dreams and expectations and they made it happen. After helping us find our desired location, they took the time to design a home that met the needs of our large family. This included recommendations on room size and items we would not have thought about on our own. Every step was organized and we felt that we were being treated fairly and respectfully.
There were no hidden costs or surprises along the way which we appreciated. Pete and his whole staff have been wonderful to work with even after the sale of our home was complete. Any hiccups we had along the way were addressed quickly. In the future, we would not hesitate to build with Kings Court again!!

This the first house my husband and I have built, and we would build again and again with King's Court Builders because of the great experience we had!
We were told horror stories about building, along with how stressful it could be. Because of that, we started off nervous, but they made our anxiety disappear.
With every difficult decision, they were there to guide and help us make the right choice that fit within our budget, and still achieved the look we were going for. They truly had our best interests in mind.
The quality of work Kings Court provides, in addition to the contractors they use, is top notch, and second to none. They do NOT cut any corners.

King's Court built our Dream Home! We had looked for some time for the perfect ranch floor plan, and we found it with Pete at King's Court. The entire process was a positive experience. Although we were not their only client at the time, the entire staff certainly made us feel that way. Each outside vendor was amazing and worked with our ideas to make our house a home. Linda was incredible and helped guide us through the building process. Everyone had a lot of patience with us as we worked through making our selections.

After a thorough search of builders for our new home, we selected Kings Court based on their reputation in the area, their custom design capabilities, and the quality of their homes. Kings Court did not disappoint, and meet our expectations throughout the process - blue print development, assisting us with site selection, great contractors to work with, and of course the build of a beautiful, energy efficient, well constructed home. If we ever build again, we would use Kings Court and recommend them for you.

As first time builders, we can say that the process was very time consuming (and at time stressful) but worth every second once we saw our new home. Kings Court was very knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way. We worked mostly with Linda, who is amazing and answered every question we had, fixed any issues quickly, and showed that she really cared about our experience. The list of vendors that KCB uses were also top notch and helped all the decision making easier... we could tell that they knew what they were doing, listened to our visions, and helped us make informed decisions. There were a few hiccups (minor) along the way, but this is something that is expected of any home building or reselling experience. The incidents that did happen were resolved in a timely manner and most of the time were brought to our attention by KCB and not left for us to find.
After moving in our experience is still going great! We are in contact with Mark with some minor details and he has been very quick to respond and come out to visit and fix the problem(s). This is our first home which we will be in a for a long time, but def. not our last. Next time around we would feel 100% comfortable building with KCB again and recommend them to anyone we know who is looking at building.

We visited many builders and model homes before my husband and I unanimously decided on King’s Court Builders as the right builder to build our future home. As this was an off-site home, we had unique constraints on the lot. Coming from the city, we had a very unique sense of style of what we wanted in our new home and King’s Court Builders were completely accommodating. Pete Stefani and his team was there for us every step in the process. Builders sometimes get a bad reputation for being dishonest, but Pete was very honest and forthcoming throughout the entire process. We have been in our home for over 3 months and we are extremely pleased with the process and the end product. Additionally, we have received great compliments from our family and friends.
If I had to construct another home, it would be with King’s Court Builders. I would also recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you King’s Court Builders!

Building a home is a daunting task. Kings Court was there for us every step of the way. Their reputation as a builder is impeccable! Every customer or vendor we ever talked to told us amazing things and we found all of that to be true. We couldn't be happier with the home or the builder.

We started building our home with King's Court back in June 2013, from the beginning we received an outstanding service, all personnel in the company were very professional and always open to help us through this stressful but important process (special thanks to Linda Clemens). For us the service was very consistent including all the vendors who always provided an excellent customer service. More important, they were always on time completing our home construction on the specified date (December 2013).
We truly appreciate King's Court Builder's for its professionalism and we highly recommend them to fulfill your dream of homeownership.

We recently built our home with King's Court and could not be happier with our experience! Pete (President of King's Court) is an unbelievable guy. Everywhere we went someone had a story about him and it was always a great one for something special he did for them while building their home. Now we have a great story for something he did for us as well.
Aimee, our sales contact in Elgin (Highland Woods), was so nice and great to work with. She helped us with every detail and handled everything for us wonderfully. She made great suggestions that we would never have though of!
Each and every vendor we spoke to and worked with was top notch and excellent expertise in their areas.
The customer service is great, anytime there has been a minor issue or question, we've had a quick response. Each person we've dealt with has been so kind and took good care of us.
Overall the experience couldn't have gone better! Before deciding to build we heard nothing but horror stories about other builders (we have one ourselves from our first home) and were taken back by how great King's Court is. We think if Pete could build a house on a handshake for someone he would, he's that nice of a guy! We highly recommend building with King's Court Builders, they truly are an elite group and the best custom home builder in the Chicagoland area.

We recently built a King's Court home and cannot say enough regarding the high quality, professionalism, and outstanding customer service of the entire King's Court team. After visiting a number of their model and showcase homes, and meeting Pete Stefani, we were impressed not only with his obvious experience in building beautiful homes and his knowledge, but also his integrity and dedication to his craft. Pete was always personally involved in the entire building process. He was very attentive to incorporating our ideas into building our home. Pete himself met with us regularly and his staff guided us through the entire project. The King's Court team was committed to making sure that any changes were carried out exactly as ordered. Pete's staff was always available to answer our questions, and they helped keep us on schedule. We were ecstatic with the finished product and everything was completed on time. Our entire experience was a positive and enjoyable one because of the people we were working with, and their enthusiasm for what they do. Pete Stefani and his team exceeded all our expectations!

My wife and I were moving from Ann Arbor, MI to the North West suburbs of Chicago. We had been searching for about a year when we stumbled upon Highland Woods subdivision and King's Court Builders. We had been told by both family and friends not to try to build a house, especially doing it from out of state. All we heard over and over was the process of building a house when living near by was bad enough, let alone from over 300 miles away.
The first indication that we had found the right builder was driving around the subdivision and asking other homeowners about their experience building with King's Court. All we heard over and over was Pete Stefani and King's Court was a wonderful builder and they would build with King's Court again. In fact, a couple of the owners we spoke were owners that had built with King's Court in the past. With the positive feedback from homeowners it was off to the King's Court model. We met with Aimee the sales agent. She was a wealth of knowledge regarding the subdivision and the entire building process. By the time we got done talking with her, all that advice about not building was quickly tossed out the window. Aimee gave us a copy of "Guide To Building A King's Court Home" A detailed step by step process for how the building process would go. After talking with Aimee she put us in touch with Pete Stefani, the president of King's Court Builders. Pete met with us several times and worked on designing the house as well as driving around the subdivision with us to help pick a potential building lot. He spent all this time with us without knowing if we would sign an actual contract to build with them. Any questions we had through the entire process were always quickly answered. We were always made to feel as if we were the only ones building with King's Court. It was obvious from all the homes being built in the subdivision that they were very busy, but still always quick to help us with any questions we had.
Anyone looking at building a house should make sure to talk to King's Court Builders. Pete, Aimee and the entire King's Court staff made our home building/buying process so smooth, even from three hundred miles away. As an added bonus, how many builders give you a closing date on the day you sign your building contract in addition to a two year warranty on your new home, only one.......King's Court Builder.

KingsCourt and Pete Stefani were a true pleasure to work with. I interviewed many other builders and I made the right choice going with KingsCourt, undoubtedly. They not only did a great job during the building process, but the follow-up and post support have also been great. They do not cut corners.

The entire process was absolutely wonderful. The guidance and options that we received during the design stage of the project allowed us to get our "must have" options and keep us within our budget. The quality of the build is top notch and we could not have asked or hoped for anything more. The support my wife and I received from the entire Kingscourt team of professionals since our first discussions has been a great experience. We highly recommend that before deciding on a house, talk to Pete and his KC team first, you won't be disappointed.....

We recently built a home with Kings Court Builders within the Highland Woods Communinity in Elgin, IL. I wanted to take a moment and say what a wonderful experience we had. We looked at many builders in the area, all had decent homes, but we kept coming back to Kings Court. Working with Pete and his team was fantastic. Pete met with us, listened to our needs and designed the perfect home. The service, quality, construction and professionalism that we received from Kings Court exceeded our expectations.
After looking at many other builders, it was clear that Kings Court would build us a home and the others would build us a house. It was a different experience than any other builder we met with. There wasn't a standard "hard sales pitch" ( which is what turned me off from the other builders.) They were focused on what they "could do" vs. what they "could not do" with their designs and options. Several builders we met with could only offer us some options we wanted but were not willing to go beyond. One builder we met with showed upgrades in their model house that they would not offer. Another thing was pricing out upgrades... Pete's pricing for upgrades was very realistic and within the price ranges that I would research. Another builder we looked at had a lower base price but the markup on their upgrades were ridiculous. It came out higher than Kings Court and wasn't nearly the same quality.
Aimee was our sales person, she was super knowledegable, friendly and professional. She could easily answer our questions and showed us why Kings Court was the right choice. Aimee was our first point of contact with Kings Court and was one of the main reasons we decided to move forward. We knew we needed someone we could trust during the building process.
During construction we had a key and full access to our home. This was awesome because we were able to watch the entire process. I took pictures of the studded walls to ensure I knew where all the duct work and wiring was. I could also bring my friends and family to see the progress. Any questions or concerns I had were answered quickly.
There are a lot of decisions to be made when building a custom home. We were given a guide with timelines and contacts that made it super simple and kept us on track. The contractors they use are all experts in their field, so they help to ensure everything goes together well and blends with your overall style and design.
We closed on our home earlier this month. The walk - thru and closing was a breeze (never had that before). Most importantly the follow-up on our punch list after closing is just as consistent.
If you are interested in Kings Court, I would suggest driving around Waterford or another of their developments and talk with the people that have already built with them. It's what we did and everyone had positive things to say. Truly I would recommend doing that with any builder you look at.
If you are looking for a builder who...
-Listens to your needs
-Offers a great home at a fare price
-Has great customer service and follow up
-Is trust worthy and has a team of caring and professional people
Then Kings Court is for you. I know I sound like a sales person or something but I know what its like to be shopping for a new home and how important it is to find a good builder. Seriously, these guys are great!

We are building a custom home with them and they have been so great to work with! They are full of excellent, helpful suggestions, when asked. This whole process can be very overwhelming, however they have really helped to make it as easy and less stressful overall. We love their whole team of professionals that they work with.

Pete Stefani and the entire Kings Court team were great to work with. They helped us design the house that we wanted, and helped us with every step of the process. We were located out of town, so the communication and assistance of the Kings Court team was critical. We love our new home and couldn't be happier.

If you are going to build a new home in Naperville or the surrounding suburbs, King's Court Builders is the only builder you should contact. From our first meeting with Pete Stefani, the owner of King's Court Builders, my wife and I knew we were in good hands. Pete and his team were always attentive to our needs. As this was our first new construction, we felt comfortable asking a ton of questions throughout the process. My wife drove to the house almost every day during the building process and we were happy with everyone that was a part of the construction. We met a number of people that had built with Pete two or three times and we felt that spoke volumes to the quality and professionalism you encounter with King's Court Builders. We are looking forward to many years in our newly built home but if we were to ever build again, King's Court Builders would be the only company we would call.

Any one can build you a house, but Kings Court Builders will build you a home! Pete Stefani should write a book on how to build a home and MANY Local builders should read it!

We built a new home with Kings Court Builders for the second time. Pete and his staff were great as always. I know that most people hate the process of building but we looked forward to each new phase of the build. Kings Court exceeded our already high expectations before during and after the build. If you are looking for a great home you can get that from many companies but if you are looking for the perfect home that is what Kings Court builds.
Thanks to everyone at Kings Court!
