Report
After our house was built 7 years ago, I wrote a review of the building process from the planning stage through the first year. At every step Todd, Michelle, and Caroline helped us make selections so there would be no surprises. Now, after living in this house for over seven years, we are continually reminded of how important all that planning was to the quality and livability of our home. Every day we enjoy features in our home that would not have been there had we not had a knowledgeable builder who recommended them.
There was one surprise in working with Addison Homes. After the house was completed, they didn't go away. During the first year, there were minor issues needing attention; and they were quick to respond. During the past seven years, I have occasionally called requesting suggestions about maintaining our home. Caroline and Todd have always been responsive and helpful. Addison Homes is clearly an outstanding builder.

We had a great experience with Addison Homes! Todd is very knowledgeable about his product and pays attention to every detail of the building process. He and his staff are efficient and caring about concerns and questions. And it is wonderful living in our beautiful and healthy, high performance house. I have been able to stop allergy treatments since we moved in! The house and the process was everything we wanted and more! My husband and I would definitely recommend Todd Usher and Addison Homes!

The future of building. If you want to live "green" and be environmentally conscience like we do I recommend Todd. Easy to work with and they had so many helpful ideas that hadn't occurred to me. Great company!

Addison Homes built us a beautiful home, but we have had so many issues since completion. We have spent more money fixing things in less than 5 years than we did fixing things in a home we lived in for 21 years. I hope he has gotten some better subcontractors than he had when our home was built. We saved for so long to build our dream home, which has turned into a nightmare.
