New & Custom Home Builders Near South Bend

“Nothing but praise for Helman Sechrist Architecture: we are in a home we couldn’t even dream of (better than a ‘dream home’) - designed by Helman Sechrist! We had a design challenge - leaving behind two homes that we loved, and combining into 1 new home that would accommodate my family (husband and 3 kids) and my mom, ensuring space for everyone and universal accessibility. We looked at a few homes in our area, then we spent months looking at plans, and realized that nothing pre-drawn was going to work for our family. From my first conversation with Jeff Helman, I was confident that he understood our unique situation - he agreed that we would need to start from scratch. I realize now that this is how they design all their homes - designing spaces around the needs and wants of their clients, spaces that function perfectly and are beautiful! The journey was amazing - their process ensures they are aware of all the functions you want to accomplish in your home - before any plans are drawn. We met extensively with Jeff and Brad (Sechrist), they were alway patient and a pleasure to work with even when we were not at our best - ( imagine how hard a project is to coordinate between two people - then add a mom / mother-in-law to that mix). The staff at Helman Sechrist was there for us throughout the project - They helped us with the bidding process, helped us pick the right builder, made sure that the house was on the lot where it should be, and even talked us through the inevitable rough spots. I cannot express how much we love our new space, how perfectly it is working for us. The spaces that we are living in are just the right size, very spacious - but still cozy; never cavernous or cold. If you want a house that fits your family and your needs - not a house that you have to fit into - Helman Sechrist is well worth the investment.”

“I work with Martin Brothers Contracting as an Interior Designer. I can not say enough good things about this company. They are professional in every way. The office help almost always knows what is going on with every project, and if they dont have an answer for you they will make every effort to get one. Their work is quality in every way. Every job I have been on with them has been a pleasure - they help make my job easy. The clients all say they would definately hire them again.”

“From the beginning of the project we were impressed with the amount of time Bruce spent planning, estimating, and measuring for all the work that needed to be done before the project was even started. We had a large project that included damage from flooding and continued renovation of our home. During the renovation process Bruce and his staff kept to their committed schedule consistently. They managed their subcontractors (which is minimal) on a daily basis. All subcontractors were very polite and organized while treating our family and property with the utmost respect. Over the course of the project not only was the end result a wonderful job but we also developed friendships with Glenn, Bruce and staff.”
