We purchased a lot got a computer program and designed our home. I believe it was Denny that sat us down and tweaked our design to make it so much better. From start to finish construction was under 90 days. Amberwood Amberwood built our custom 2100 sq ft home in the late 90's and we have never regretted it. Were there hickups. absolutely, but its the way those problems were handled that showed us we were in good hands. BTW, not all issues were resolved perfectly but its more than most would have done and I fault the subcontractors not Amberwood or Billy.
In those days he didnt have his own crews. Nearing 30 years living here and the only thing that needed repair is the roof and that was from normal wear. We are kicking around the thought of adding an in law set up and know we will be calling Amberwood. Hopefully they havent grown so big that they will consider smaller scale projects since id like to be worry free in this endeavor. Sorry took so long for the review but A+ to you. Regards

The front office staff is truly professional and very responsive; as the gatekeepers for the company, it is very telling for how the communication will be throughout the entire experience. Beautiful homes and excellent customer service.

I enjoy working with the marketing department and office staff for Amberwood Homes. Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure of having them build me a home but the office staff and marketing staff is responsive and friendly which reflects well on the company!

I purchased my Amberwood Home in 2007 in the Sunrise Meadow community in Chandler Az. The process of building my home was seamless. From working with Denny to design the home, to working with the construction staff at the home, to working with the project managers. My final walk through went off without a hitch, and move in day was exciting! My custom home was just as we had expected, and the quality of the home was impeccable. Working with Amberwood Homes was a great decision for me and my family. We couldn't be happier with Billy Johnson and his staff at Amberwood Homes.

Had a custom home built by Amberwood and the quality was no where near what was promised. The house was in such poor quality when we moved in it immediately had to be remodeled. The house was so filthy we had to hire a professional cleaning company to get the floors in livable condition. Once we signed the contract we felt like nothing more than a money pit. There were so many defects the house could have been wrapped in blue tape.
The most amazing thing was the house had the cheapest toilet seats known to mankind. We didn't notice how cheap they were until we moved in and they were basically unusable. We had to run down to Lowe's and buy some decent toilet seats so we could use the bathrooms. Who would put cheap plastic toilet seats in a custom home? Really? If you put in cheap plastic toilet seats to save $20.00 what else was skimped on?

I live in a home built by Amberwood in Kensington Groves in NE Mesa that was built in 2002. We are the second ones to own it. We love the home! It is very high quality! When contractors come they always remark about how well it was built. We love the 2 x 6 construction. It is very energy efficient with sunscreen glass. I have refinanced a couple of times and the appraisers always take about 7-10 years off the age of the home. We still have the original exterior paint and roof and it still looks great. Just barely had to replace one air conditioner and the other is still going strong! Couldn't be happier!
