Testimonial:

“I have long valued the benefits of working with the craftsman builder rather than the larger companies. This was absolutely the case in this project. I knew you were on site, every day and supervising every step of the build and that was really important to me. A new build requires close supervision and you brought that to the project

I must share that I have two close friends who are well versed in construction and when visiting, both conducted their inspections. Both were most impressed with the structural work and shared with me that the ‘hidden’ house was done exceptionally well and with fine materials. As a client, one has to trust the builder and I always felt you take that responsibility very seriously.

I can say with confidence that what sets you apart from many other builders is evident in the small touches and finishing that are done with such care and attention to detail.”
