Report
We began working with Andy and Stonegate Custom Homes in 2020. From the beginning, Andy did an excellent job with our project. From plan design and customization, to explaining the options around construction financing. Once we broke ground, we were provided with a detailed schedule on when things would happen and what vendors to meet with for selections. At every step, Andy was there to answer any questions we had.
We are extremely satisfied with the quality of the workmanship in our home and the attention to detail given. We felt like there was high integrity and transparency at every step in the process. All of the subcontractors and suppliers that we came in contact with were excellent to work with and were able to guide us in making decisions with confidence. If we were to build all over again, we would not hesitate to choose Andy and Stonegate Custom Homes.

Report
We couldn't be happier with our new home and the process of building it with Stonegate Custom Homes. Brian was great to work with, very responsive, available and transparent the entire way through. Whenever we had questions, Brian always took the time to explain whatever it was so that we were fully aware of what we were getting. When we sold our current home faster than expected, Brian was very accommodating and was able to meet the quicker deadline, saving us a lot of trouble of otherwise having to move twice. Overall we're happy with the experience and if we had to do it all over, we'd absolutely choose Stonegate again!
