I normally do not review businesses online, but this one is long overdue because my husband and I have been so busy enjoying our beautiful new home for the last 6 months. We found a lot in AACo and called Timberlake to help us design and build our home on the property and what I thought would have been a daunting experience was the opposite. Our biggest concern was that the market was making buying an existing home almost impossible so we felt we needed to be open to the idea of building and we are so relieved and grateful that we did - especially with Timberlake!
From the first meeting (virtually due to the pandemic) to our design meetings, to weekly updates, their professional recommendations, and the overall communication and quality of what we received with Timberlake, you just cannot beat it. Their team is unmatched- Dave, Danny, Jason, and even Lucy (the golden retriever) and we always felt like they cared about our input and had it all under control week by week. We love our home and feel like we hit the jackpot when it came to their straight-forward approach on the process. If you are ever considering building, you have to use Timberlake!

Bought a town home from them. It is lovely. The finishes are amazing. The sales professional, Jhia, was more than accommodating. And the site manager, BJ, was always nice and helped me understand my new home. I couldn't have asked for a better new home experience. The appliances chosen and the finished were all very beautiful!

It's been ten glorious years since I moved into my beautiful Timberlake home. I was impressed with the professionalism and the great attention to detail displayed by the builder throughout the entire building process. I remember the joy I felt the day I was given the keys to my new home, it's the same joy I feel every time I pull into my driveway today! Thank you Timberlake Homes! MML
