Energy-Efficient Home Builders in Lakeview

“I had the pleasure of having Riverstone Construction paint my house as well as kitchen and bath remodeling. The company seemed to have it all together with well groomed employees. As a business owner myself making the customer feel comfortable especially working out of your home is a big deal. Before I even asked Jassan Robbins the owner of Riverstone Construction told me he did background checks to ensure he himself had good safe employees working under him. The day the crew showed up to my house they knocked on my door and introduced themselves as employees of Riverstone Construction and wanted me to know they were here and would be starting work and if I had any questions to please feel free to ask. As the week went on things needed attention such as issues with water damage that were not visible until construction started. Jassan helped me find the best possible way to take care of the issue and save money in the process. I defiantly would have Riverstone Construction back for the next project and highly recommend this company to anyone.”

“AG Homes was an excellent firm to work for. They provided clear directions as to what was expected and necessary details in order to complete the work efficiently and with no delays. If there were any questions they were always very quick to respond and get answers.”

“After touring several Masters Properties homes we knew this was the quality of workmanship we were looking for in a custom home, but an even higher value for us was a sense of confidence in the builder’s character and reputation. From the moment we met Jon and Karin we sensed a high level of integrity that proved to be true throughout the planning and building process.”

“After having Scott build our home in 2009 we decided to finish an unfinished area for a theater room. Scott's team again surpassed our expectations. The room turned out exactly as we had envisioned it and the workmanship superb! A short five weeks from start to finish. Now movie night is just a few steps away!”

“Choosing Bowness Custom Homes was a great decision for us. We enjoyed all aspects of planning, building, and finalizing our dream home. Alex and Sandy kept the project moving in a timely manner and were well organized and extremely easy to communicate with. Compared to friends and neighbors who have shared their home building experiences with us, we are continually pleased with our decision to contract with Bowness Custom Homes.”

“I would recommend Absolute Construction and Development to anyone considering building their own home. I've heard horror stories of the construction process but I can honestly say that working with Lisa and Nelu was a joy. The quality of work is the best I've ever seen and they are exceedingly communicative and respectful. Our project came in under budget with an extremely tight deadline. We interviewed many developers before deciding on Absolute and we have never regretted it. One of the biggest pluses for us was the one year punch list. New homes settle a lot over the year as the seasons change and Absolute returned anytime we had an issue and fixed it.”

“Bartlett Construction purchased my parents house from my brother and I when we were selling the house for my mother. He completely redid the whole house exactly how my father had envisioned. Bartlett construction re-modeled my house with beautiful built in bookcases with a fireplace, added on to the master bedroom as well as a Carolina Room. If I had the money I would have bought the house right back from him. I wouldn't trust anyone else in the local area with my personal home.”

“It is our pleasure to write this unsolicited letter of recommendation on behalf of Will Johnson Building Company. We had spent many years discussing our dream home and had even created a rough house plan using a design software package. We had a very specific vision of what we wanted. In a nutshell, we wanted a new “old” house with loads of charm but with all the modern amenities. One that was built utilizing universal design principles which is a nice way to say “aging in place”. It also needed to be as maintenance free as possible. We researched builders very carefully and down selected to 4 that were highly recommended in the area. What caused us to select Will Johnson Building aside from the instant rapport we felt with Will and his son Ben was the total package they brought to this effort. Ben is a remarkable home designer and took our rough renderings and transformed it into a beautiful design. He made many impactful recommendations and suggestions. He was always available throughout the build process to make changes on the fly. His sense of style and symmetry were right in line with what we wanted. He was always mindful of cost and always informed us of the ramifications of different design decisions and options. The benefit of having both the design and construction team together is the constant feedback they gave each other to ensure it would be built economically and eliminate ambiguity. Once the design was completed, Will stepped in to execute the construction. The home is 1.5 stories with 3,800 sq ft on the main floor and 1,700 sq ft on the second floor. The main floor encompassed all the living spaces and bedrooms, while the second floor is intended as an extra apartment or secondary living space. The lot was fairly steep and hilly so there needed to be a lot of skilled engineering to level the pad, put in retaining walls, work drainage and place the house in an optimal position. Will has a wealth of experience and we could tell he was very experienced with handling these challenges. He also had a long list of excellent craftsmen, contractors and construction personnel that he could draw from that have passed the test of time. You could tell they really liked working on Will Johnson projects. On each trip and during each phase of the construction process we were blown away with the high quality of construction and materials. Their attention to detail and wonderful communication ensured there were no mistakes. This was particularly important as we were not local and could not be there every day. It was a great comfort knowing there was someone providing great oversight and direction. They sent us pictures almost daily during periods of great activity which we really appreciated and made us feel part of the process. Any areas of concern were immediately addressed and resolved. Of particular importance to us was the work done by Rebecca Johnson who managed all the design selections both interior and exterior and ensured that these were ordered in a timely manner. She held our hand and helped us navigate the scary world of stones, pavers, shutters, tiles, appliances, cabinets (Wayne rocks), granite, moldings, lighting, trim, paint colors, etc. She quickly grasped our design aesthetic and each trip she would have a variety of items pre-selected for us to review and choose. We trusted her so much, we felt very comfortable leaving many details to her. I wish I could have mentioned all those who worked on our house and had a hand in making it such a beautiful home but I do want to give a shout out to Laurie for always letting us know where we stood financially, Elizabeth in helping with all the finish selections, particularly our day at the tile store, Mike the construction project manager and Juan. We are also very appreciative of the landscape firm (Precision TurfScape) they selected. Mike Leper and his team designed and executed a wonderful plan. This was a huge job with many challenges and we could not be happier with the final product. We love our new “old” house and really enjoyed the building process. It totally surpassed our expectations. It is a testament to the passion, expertise and dedication of all the members of the Will Johnson Building team that gave us such a great home and ensured that the journey towards it was memorable as well.”

“The Contractor was easy to communicate with, reasonably priced, showed up on time and date scheduled. The workers were very professional and had good understanding of their trade. The site was left cleaner than when they arrived. Job was done to a high quality of craftsmanship and looked very nice when complete.”
