The Van Oyen's are first-class professionals. Very thorough and very responsive. They were transparent with everything and made what could be a daunting task of building a new home exciting and fun. The workmanship is top-notch, and we are extremely pleased with the subcontractors they used. I absolutely recommend them for your next new home build!

We built a house ten years ago with Tony Van Oyen Builders. This house was built very well and we have had very few issues. Two weeks ago, we had a few windows that had seal problems so I called Van Oyen Builders to see if there was a warranty on them. Joe called me right back and provided the window manufacturer and the company that installed them. Unfortunately the window company was out of business but I appreciated the quick response.

We will be getting the repairs done by the company that installed the windows. While building homes will not always be perfect, Tony Van Oyen builders was very easy to work with. We loved that we could customize blue prints and add features of our home that we wanted. Ten years later and we are still so happy with our house. Thank you!

Van Oyen built our house in 2013, they were great to work with through the whole process. Its been 8 years now and the quality of the construction is much better than you'll get with the "major" home building companies. Exterior was all 2x6 construction, better insulation and sealing (top level Energy Star builds). Comparing heating bills with co-workers with similar size homes and age of house, our heating is almost half the price and we keep the temperature a few degrees warmer. If I was to ever build another house, there is no doubt that my preference would be to go with Van Oyen again.

We had our home built by the Van Oyens and we are glad that we selected them in the construction of our new home. From the beginning, they were very down-to-earth and easy to get along with. Jill and Joe were the ones we primarily communicated with and they were great to work with. They care how the end result turns out and they think about things that they would want in their own homes. I think that makes a difference when you are building a custom home.

Their trades and contractors were also very professional when they came to work at the house and answered any questions that we had. It is inevitable that during any project, there may be some hiccups, but having a good team to work with makes tackling them so much easier. Once we moved in, any first year issues we have had thus far have been addressed quickly by Joe himself or a trusted delegate.

We would not hesitate to have them build a house for us again and we thank them for their hard work and patience in answering our questions. We are also glad we are able to support a family business instead of a large corporation. Thank you, Tony Van Oyen Builder!

Our final walk-through was conducted on 10/18/18. We were very happy with our experience with Van Oyen Builders. They were very accommodating when I asked to make changes to the elevation plan. They also were very flexible and willing to work with us when there was "confusion" on ordering of the the kitchen cabinets. They went over and above to include some additional work on the final grading. Overall, this was our first experience in building a new home.

We had heard the horror stories about bad experiences with builders, but thankfully we selected a first rate company to build our new home. I would not hesitate to recommend Van Oyen to anyone considering building a new home.

When we decided to build our home, Tony Van Oyen Builders where literally our first call. They went over and above our expectations and helped every step of the way. Without the expertise at Tony Van Oyen builders our great home wouldn't be worth the soil it sits on.
