Rick from Gonyea is misleading and will tell you something to get you to agree to a project and then go back on his word. I would avoid this company. I would not work with any company who hires someone like that.

The design experience was great! We apparently are rare because we got through design in 3 hours where some people take 16+ hours to do the same thing. I will say, for many of the upgrades we chose the price was very reasonable, especially for a luxury home builder! We can't wait to move in!

I'm really disappointed that I went with Gonyea homes. There realitor tells you what you want to hear to get the sale. They have poor follow up once they get the sale and the home building process is started. I left multible messages for there VP to call me back with my concerns during the building process. He never called me back. There job site superintendents try to hide damage and poor workmanship during the process. I'm now having issues with there poor workmanship. Im sure this will be a challege to get them to stand behind there work. I would look for another builder inthe area.

Built with Gonyea this past year and could not be happier. They have great attention to detail and professionalism - we have had a few minor issues (like any construction project does) and their warranty department has responded quickly and fairly. The general contractor + subs were all super easy to work with and provided great quality work. Highly recommended if you're building a home!
