“After several years of searching, I finally located a vacant lot on which to construct myself a new custom-built house. Then I began interviewing custom-built home contractors. Dan Meade of Prime 1 Builders was the second contractor that I interviewed. After one meeting with Dan, I knew that I did not have to interview any more contractors. I had found my contractor and it was Prime 1 Builders. I could tell in my first discussion with Dan that he was honest, had integrity and was a very competent contractor. Dan and his architect clearly understood the custom-built house that I wanted constructed and the constraints of my budget. They made several insightful suggestions in which to modify my original design ideas, not upselling, but enhancing the functionality and usefulness of the design. Dan told me that my house would be constructed in seven to eight months and it was completed in slightly less than eight months. Dan keeps you well informed as to the construction versus scheduled progress. Prime 1 Builders’ employees, subcontractors and vendors / suppliers were competent, quality oriented and a pleasure in which to interact. Every construction project has changes and problems. The construction of my house had very few changes and problems because of the thoroughness of the design and the complete upfront selection of materials. When a change or problem occurred during the construction of my house, whether my responsibility or Prime 1 Builders, Dan timely addressed and resolved it limiting the cost to the responsible party. I would definitely recommend Dan Meade and the Prime 1 Builders team for construction of your new custom-built home or home remodeling project. They do what they say they are going to do!”

“When we wanted to consider a major renovation on a 1930’s house, we contracted our interior designer and asked if she knew of anyone who was skilled enough to take on the challenge of designing new additions while maintaining the historic character of a home. She recommended Darrell, who did a fantastic job, with thorough and detailed designs and explanations in layman’s terms we could understand. He identified areas of opportunity, as well as challenges, in a professional, yet personable and pleasant manner. When instead, we decided to buy another house and move, Darrell was again who we brought in to help us with changes. He has real vision and practical experience. He redesigned the new kitchen and took on the entire remodel. Darrell recommended quality contractors and connected us with the suppliers. He advised through the whole process and worked in sync with the contractors and suppliers. Our kitchen is a stunning example of “Before and After” and we’ll definitely count on Darrell when remodeling another space in this house. He’s cheerful, insightful and talented!”
