WHAT DO CREATIVE HOMEOWNERS SAY ABOUT US?

When we ask our homeowners for feedback on their experience building with us, many talk about what makes Creative Homes stand apart from the rest. For some, it comes down to the sheer task of building a new home:

“This home build was unique but eye opening to be on the receiving end of a great product that we feel could not be replicated by any other builder in the area. My wife and I felt that we didn’t have to shoulder the entire responsibility and stress of building a home on our own and that the Creative Team always had our best interests in mind from the day we signed to the day we closed on our new home.” - Heritage Greens Homeowners

For others it was the warranty process:

“...We think what put this company over the top was the warranty process.  With the increased new construction sales year over year, many people who purchase new construction complain about the lack of availability subcontractors have because they have become so busy. In fact it's the number one thing our neighbors talk about, lack of follow up and follow through by their builder.  But WE get to feel different as Creative homeowners because the team keeps in constant contact with us and cares enough to ensure we're not forgotten.  It is truly what has made Creative stand out.” - Easton Village Homeowners

While each homeowner has their own reason for choosing to find our way home, we are passionate about every single home we build and truly believe in our processes from signing the purchase agreement to our warranty process.
