Featured Reviews for New & Custom Home Builders in Lake of the Woods

Luxury Homes, Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Lake of the Woods
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 24, 2014
“We used this builder for a new home build and we were very pleased with their work. They built a beautiful home for our family. Their bidding is accurate and if you happen to change/add anything along the way that will change the cost, they let you know what it will be and you sign off on it. They did quality work and they did it quickly and efficiently. They guide the homeowner through the process of choosing features one step at a time so that it's never overwhelming. The contractor manages all the different teams of workers--plumbers, electricians, etc. with professionalism and the homeowner is free to enjoy the building process. If you experience any problems, even after your home is built, they are quick to come and remedy them. Thirteen years later, we are still very happy with our home.”

“We hired Nelson Builders to fix our entryway that our original home builder had built incorrectly. During the rehab project Matt Nelson personally assisted with the project. His knowledge and skill for understanding framing, electrical, finishing, and attention to detail impressed my husband and I. It is rare to find a builder who truly knows how to build quality, well-designed homes. I cannot speak highly enough about our positive experience. I only wish we would have found him sooner, we would have loved for him to have designed and built our entire home. Nelson Builders are different than any other builder because they don't skip on quality and there truly is such close attention to detail. They were able fix and transform our home into what we always wanted. We are so thankful for Matt's help in fixing our entryway! I've included a Before & After picture so you can see the great work by Nelson Builders.”

“Darcy built our dream home in 2000. It is a magnificent piece of work, with many ingenuous ideas and custom additions that add to it's total uniqueness and beauty. The home is close to 4,000 sq ft. It is 2 stories, and has 4 bedrooms with custom closets, 4 and 1/2 baths, an upper level toy room, and a gift wrapping/storage room. The main level has a gorgeous custom kitchen with fireplace, a huge mudroom with utility sink and plenty of storage, a 2 story great room with fireplace and balcony, a beautiful office with French doors, and lovely dining room. The master bedroom is on the main level. The master bedroom and the kitchen have twin bump out bays with French doors that lead onto the patio. The full finished basement is complete with a full bath and has a huge fireplace, and a custom built "dog room", with a raised tub for easy canine bathing, and a walk out door to easily accommodate the comings and goings of pets. There are so many storage closets that even I, a huge pack rat, had empty shelves! The house also is heated and cooled with geo-thermal, with Darcy co-ordinating the installation of the system with the HVAC company. Darcy doesn't build many homes from scratch due to his refusal to lower his standards, and thus his price, as a home is being built. However, this did not deter us, and we were soo fortunate that he decided to take our project on. Yes, it was not a cheap build, however, it still stands today (unfortunately for me, with a new owner) as the standout home in Douglas County, Illinois. The basement was dug on March 2, 2000, and we were moving in on Oct 2nd of 2000. Not only did Darcy and his crew and sub-contractors do superior work, they were very timely with the build. Now that I have written about the home that Darcy built for us, I miss it even more than ever. It was a once in a time experience, and the 5 years we lived in the home were the happiest years of my life! So, thank you, Darcy for the experience and the happy memories.”

“I can't say enough nice things about working with Jeff and his wife Kelly on making our dream home a reality. We were very reluctant to build from scratch because we had good friends that went with a larger builder in Champaign that just kept passing them off to different crew foremen throughout the whole process. They actually never met the real owner. I appreciated the fact that we only had to deal with Jeff from beginning to end. He made the building process fun and very rewarding and Kelly was a huge help when it came to picking out fixtures, countertops and paint that brings it all together. It is obvious that they both have a great eye for details. Thanks again for listening to our wants and needs and we look forward to working with you on our next home.”

“After seeing a floor plan we liked last year we contacted Steve Meid at Signature Homes. We have been delighted with the incredible organization and attention to detail he has given us in building our new home. I have worked in the construction and design business and I cannot express how very easy this process has been. Steve has kept things on time and on budget despite a couple weather setbacks. On time and on budget is unheard of when building a new home or renovating an old one. I cannot say how very impressed and pleased we are!”

“This is the third house we have built and it was by far the smoothest process! Great quality for the money. Everyone was friendly, courteous, punctual. Whenever we had a question, we got a response almost immediately. We have been in the house a couple of months now, and with every new built there will always be some things that have to be tweaked, so far they were fairly minor, but I feel lucky that they have a great 'after-care' program. Over all I would have to say our experience was very positive!”

“About 15 years ago, Carl Hill and his team built our 3,700-sq. fr. Home in Urbana, IL. It was a beautifully constructed house and the place where we raised our family, so it helped create a lot of great memories. Carl worked with us to revise the original plans to get just the home we wanted, and we lived there for 10 years. (We only downsized to save money when our youngest left for college.) Since then, Carl has also helped us with renovations in our new home, including finishing our entire basement, and we couldn't be happier. He's a conscientious builder who attends to the details and makes his clients happy!”
