Woods Design Builders

We engaged Woods Design Builders in 2017 to do a remodel and addition on our historic home. We did so based on their reputation and our experience when the company was owned and managed by their mother and co-founder, Sharon (Sensitive Information Hidden). During our project, the management of the company was taken over by Sharon Woods’ two sons, Shane and Rob (Sensitive Information Hidden). The process was an absolute disaster. We have been left with a home where many of the major systems have failed or are failing. In addition to shoddy work, their accounting is highly questionable. On top of that, much of the work was not permitted, inspected, or to code. I would also like to point out that all of the reviews on this page have been left prior to the change in management. If you are considering doing work with this builder, please do a background check on the current owners as well as the company. I wish someone would have warned us prior to hiring them.

Collaborative, creative and FUN! These are three of many positive adjectives we'd use to describe Sharon Woods, her sons Shane and Rob, and their entire team. We had a part-time place in downtown Santa Fe starting in 2005, but had purchased a lot near the Opera when we decided to sell our Chicago-area home and move to Santa Fe full-time. Over several years, we had visited many homes, talked to multiple builders and interviewed three seriously. We had to do our homework, but there was never a doubt in our minds that Woods was our choice. Number One, Woods listens to the client. Number Two, their subs are the best they can find and they hold their feet to the fire. Number Three, they meet their deadlines. And Number Four, they never say goodbye. As is inevitable, you will find a problem down the road. Woods tells you -- and follows through on the promise -- that they will not desert you, even after the customary year-long responsibility. We have not had major problems (and only few very minor ones), but a poorly-drawing fireplace (not their fault) has grabbed their attention and we've had immediate attention and proposed solutions 2 1/2 years after we moved in. And the design talent of the founder, Sharon Woods, is just amazing. She made our home what it is and I bless her every day. We had a wish list, albeit on a challenging lot. She and her (our) architect, Lorn Tryk, met every challenge and way more. Yes, Woods is high-end. But they were also conscious of our budget, and when things got tight, they (with we) figured out where to compromise. They are honest and they are pleasure to do business with. Our only regret when the house was finished was that we wouldn't be meat with them every week or more!

From the moment we met the Woods team we knew it would be the perfect fit. Their creativity, attention to every detail and the excellent craftsmanship surpassed our greatest expectations. The many years of combined experiences places Woods Design Builders in a league of their own. We literally could have left for the entire time it took to build our project and returned upon completion and it would have been perfect. They build your home as if they were building it for themselves. I can truthfully use the word perfection to describe our experience!

we worked wth Woods to design and buld our dream home in santa fe, completing the project in 2008. it is a testament to their character and professionalism and quality workmanship that we continue to love our home, see the members of Woods Builders regularly, and in fact show our home to their potential new clients whenever asked. We are so pleased with the outcome that we want others to have the same great experience building their home as we had. it was a truly enjoyable time for us, a memorable highlight of our marriage and we were sad when the process was complete, how often does that happen when you are building a home? we would do it all over again - but only with Woods..

Woods Design Builders is the premier builder in Santa Fe we at Statements in Tile/Lighting/Kitchens/Flooring have been privileged to work with Sharon and her team on numerous projects. Over the years, we have provided tile for many of their award winning houses. Depending on the client's desires, the projects and tile selections range from sophisticated Santa Fe style to sleek contemporary.

Every person with whom we dealt affiliated with this builder, whether on the building site or in the office, was professional, prompt, and enthusiastic. Our project was an extensive renovation, and despite our being long distance, it was a collaborative, organized, and seemingly 'easy' process. Not only were our needs and ideas heard/integrated, the builder/architect/team brought great insights and ideas to the project. It was evident this builder has a long standing arsenal of high quality trades in addition to superb management which enabled the project to complete before schedule, which is yet another reason we hired this builder for a second project.
