I thought the quality of the home was outstanding and the cost was reasonable. The experience from design to final construction was outstanding. Trust was very high, Steve is an honest man and true to his word. I would highly recommend Sienna Building Company to family and friends.

Steve of Sienna Building, is a big guy with a big smile and an honest handshake. He is a zealous advocate for his clients. If something isn’t done properly or a contractor isn’t performing to the specifications that they agreed to, he will accept nothing less than 100% compliance and 100% quality. It’s very reassuring to know that things are getting done properly.

He informed us on how he likes to conduct business and how the process would work. It was a two- part process: A Pre-construction Planning Phase and a Construction Phase. The way the process was designed made us feel very comfortable to move forward. The process was open and easy. What might have been a difficult process for us simply wasn’t.

Pre-construction included everything required to get the home designed and blueprinted for a fee. We could take our blueprints at that point and hire a different builder if we chose, or hire Sienna Building. The two-phase process made us feel comfortable enough to move forward. During that time, we never considered looking for a different builder. We felt comfortable that if we were going to be able to build our new home, Steve was going to be the guy to do it.

Steve was very aware of the cleanliness of the project and the impact that has on the quality of the home as well the effect on our new neighbors. He posted professional signs that informed all contractors of what is expected of them in regards to how the job site should be maintained. I had one contractor mention to me that he had never worked on such a well-organized site.

He keeps a calendar that we share and can look at to see what is coming up, day by day, week by week, month by month, right up to the home finishing. The home was completed on time and throughout the process we were able to keep an eye on the completion date. This was very helpful for our own scheduling of movers and such things.

Steve asked us at the time we were signing the building contract to enjoy the process. We tried to embrace that philosophy and we enjoyed it very much. In fact we are a little disappointed we are through. We think that in itself is a testament to the builder. In the end we have a new, beautiful home that we are very proud of, we call it our “Final Resting Place.

Are we happy with our builder: Yes
Would we recommend him: Yes
Would we use him to build us another home: Yes

I have no doubt that prospective clients can look forward to a design and pre-construction process that is well-planned, well-executed, and within budget. Prospective clients should take much comfort in knowing that you offer a process that takes out much of the stress and uncertainty that comes with building a custom home.

We’ve seen the alternative; as you know before we met you we spent a good deal of money on design and came out with nothing but a great plan and an idea for a house that we simply couldn’t afford. The difference you and Rob made is that while we again came through with a beautiful design, this time we were also provided with a transparent and predictable process, as well as an accurate construction budget that we could afford and plan for.

The design and planning experience you’ve put together is invaluable, especially for people like us who have not built a house before and are, by and large, pretty ignorant as to the process. It’s very comforting to know that someone with your experience, vision, and tenacity is working to ensure that our house exceeds expectations and is finished on time and within budget.

“As a trade partner with Sienna Building I have provided design services and construction document preparation for several projects and have found Steve to be a very hands on and detail oriented builder.

His commitment to quality and efficient home design shows through in the finished product and his input is a very valuable resource in the conceptual design process.

I have worked closely with Sienna Building and the clients they represent and I can attest to the seamless way they bridge the gap between the homeowner and sub-contractor. (In my case, the design professional.) And having been in the local construction industry for over 20 years, I can assure you that is arguably the greatest asset any home builder can posses.”
