More than 2 years after my wife and I built our home with Long Built, they are still responding to my emails and phone calls. Recently I had a plumbing issue and Chris Long was on the phone with me the same day that I emailed her about the issue. Chris placed a phone call and arranged to get someone out the next day to fix the problem. Even though the issue encountered was well past the one-year warranty period, Chris never questioned or mentioned that while we spoke. The Long Built responsiveness and willingness to stand by their homes is why they'll always get 5 stars in my book!

Long Built Homes is a fantastic family oriented business. We have built two homes with them in the past 10 years and they make the process so seamless from initial meeting to closure. Their attention to detail, choices of products/homes, and warranty are fantastic and their whole company is very responsive and they always keep lines of communication. We highly suggest to anyone wanting to build a home to contact Long Built Homes!

My family and I contracted with Long Built Homes to build our forever home. Being a busy family, Long Built made the process smooth and care free. The process of choosing our home location, home style, colors and upgrade options was efficiently facilitated in their showroom which removed the hassle and time spent traveling from vendor showroom to vendor showroom. After we completed our selections, we signed our agreement and from there just let them handle the process (permitting, site engineering, home construction, etc).
We've been in the house now 1 year with just about zero issues. And, any issues we have had have been promptly attended to by their warranty department. Honestly, we couldn't be happier with our decision to entrust LBH with this project.

My husband and I had purchased land in Mattapoisett and wanted to build. In a crazy market with prices of materials rising we felt very overwhelmed on locking down a home design and builder within our budget. We met with 2 other builders and felt very discouraged in that we could not build the house that met the pricing and specifications we wanted and needed. Until we spoke to Long Built Homes. They had so many options within our price range and we were able to modify and add additional space where needed.
They were so positive during the process and made us feel 100% "at home" and taken care of. They have built 100's of homes which you could tell through their experience and professionalism from start to finish. If there was ever a hiccup they corrected it right away. I don't know if we would be in our newly designed beautiful home if it weren't for Long Built Homes. Thank you for everything Long Built Homes Team!
