“Our experience with Asher Custom Homes has been terrific; we highly recommend them for a custom home build. From the beginning of the project until the end, we felt like the Asher team was by our side every step of the way. Ed Asher really cares about his customers and this care sets the tone for our build and positively impacts every member of his team. Before the building process started, we met with Ed who helped us understand the pluses and minuses of various properties from every perspective. He knew much more than any realtor did about how different aspects of each property would impact not only the building process, but the various restrictions we would face if we chose that property. This helped us immensely and we felt like Ed was on our team from the start ensuring that we chose a property that got us what we wanted at a fair price. Once we started the building process, we learned that building in Durango is not like building in a big city. Subcontractors tend to be smaller outfits. This makes progress a bit slower (as does the Colorado winter), but it also leads to very personal relationships between Asher and its subs. We felt that the subs really trusted Asher and wanted to do a great job for them and for us. This resulted in great craftsmanship. We feel like Ed and his team were always open to answering our many questions and working through any concerns we had along the way. Any bumps in the road were dealt with head on and honestly. The open lines of communication fostered a great collaboration, ensuring that our concerns were addressed promptly and effectively. We loved that Asher is a true design build firm. Russ, Tracy and Bailey are an incredible in-house team. No request was too big or too small. This aspect of Asher really made a difference in ensuring that our vision was realized. As the build progressed and decisions needed to be made, they were called to our attention promptly and efficiently so that we knew what we needed to decide and when. In this way, the project moved along extremely smoothly. At the end of the project, it was obvious that the team was committed to dotting every I and crossing every T. The team made a punch list and we made one and every item was taken care of for us. Anything that has come up since we have moved in has been addressed promptly. We highly recommend Asher Custom Homes!!”

“How fortunate we were to have Kim guiding the remodel of the interior of our home near Durango, CO. My wife and I have worked with other designers in the past and none of them came close to Kim’s professionalism, efficiency, project management, design skills and knowledge of local vendors and contractors. Very attentive to our wants yet not afraid to let us know when we were heading off the rails. Well respected by vendors and contractors alike. A real pleasure to get to know and work with. Thank you Kim.”

“Until recently, our kitchen featured pink Formica counter tops. We spent eight years pondering what would cause a person to choose such an unsettling color. Was it on sale? An overstock item at Home Depot? A cruel joke? A color-blind interior decorator? We’ll never know. We finally decided that it was long past time to upgrade our kitchen’s appearance. And first to go, we agreed, were the awful pink counters. We knew next to nothing about materials or process when we first started to shop around. That quickly changed when we spent some time at TileArt of Durango. Designer Joanna Staehler explained the many available materials options and we quickly settled on granite for its durability and beauty. Next, we inspected the huge in-stock inventory of granite slabs…so many colors and variations! We settled on ‘Cashmere Cream’ which was a tan overall with lots of interesting bits and streaks of color splashed throughout. It complemented our existing floor tile and wood cabinets perfectly. Joanna helped us choose the surface texture (we liked the look of glossy) and the style for the edges (rounded, half bull-nose). On a roll, we also opted to re-top the vanities in our two bathrooms with the same granite treatment. Next, we had a visit from a TileArt technician who came to our home to measure our existing counter tops using a laser device to ensure accuracy down to the nano-inch. The measurements were fed into a huge digitally controlled saw that cut and finished the edges to our specifications. We also opted to replace all our existing sinks with under mount versions…a great look and a great convenience for cleaning up. TileArt had a number of sinks and faucets to choose from. Two weeks later, the counters were installed by an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable crew…everything fit snugly, and the results were astonishing! The old kitchen cabinets look brand new! The granite counters made SUCH a difference! We absolutely love our ‘new’ kitchen and bathrooms. Without reservation, recommend the TileArt and LightArt stores for anyone contemplating a remodel. Excellent service and advice, a dizzying array of choices and very reasonable prices!”
