"Carl Finley Builders Inc. built our custom home in 1997. We chose Carl Finley Builders because of their reputation for building quality homes at an exceptional value. The workmanship Carl put into building our home was that of a fine craftsman. The materials used were of the highest quality and Carl was involved in every phase of the project to ensure that his high standards were met. As with any new home, there are always minor problems that require follow-up. We were extremely pleased when Carl was willing to take care of these few issues promptly, at no additional expense to us, and without question. We found Carl to be very straightforward, honest and dependable. If we were to ever build another home, our contractor of choice would be Carl Finley Builders."
-Doug and Rhonda Billman

"We found working with Carl Finley a very positive experience. Carl gave us many creative and architecturally pleasing ideas that we used in the design and building of our new home. We found Carl to be honest and realistic in the expectations set forth to him as the general contractor of this job. He stayed within our budget guidelines providing us with several design choices when selecting materials that fell within our budget area....
We feel that selecting Carl Finley Builders was the best choice we could have made for building our home. Carl stands behind his product....We have recommended Carl Finley Builders to friends in the past and will continue to in the future."

"Since this was the third house we had built, we knew the most important part was finding the right builder. We started by getting recommendations from everyone we could. Then we looked carefully into projects the builders had completed. We asked people who had recently built homes in the area. One name kept coming to the top, that was yours.

In contrast to other homes we built, where builders were mostly concerned with getting the job done and cutting corners was the norm, we appreciated the time, quality and attention to detail that you spent. The subcontractors you selected also provided the same high quality services.

It was our hope and dream to build the finest house we could. The final product surpassed all of our expectations. The craftsmanship is excellent. The house is sound and comfortable. We would gladly recommend you and your company to anyone who was interested in building a quality home. We are certainly proud of ours."
-Dr. & Mrs. R. Barney


"I am compelled to write to you regarding our "home building" experience. Being in business, one rarely receives the privilege of compliments. I have embarked on a campaign to acknowledge exceptional efforts beyond that which is expected.

My wife, Vicki, and I selected Carl Finley Builders for several reasons. First and foremost is your attention to detail, some of which are not visible, as they are integral parts of the frame construction. Many we can, and do, point out to friends who are considering a building project.

We have know you for many years. We have seen the projects that you have orchestrated throughout the community. In fact, the convincing element in selecting you to build our house was looking at houses that you constructed early on. Some of them are 20 plus years old and look as good as the day they were moved into.

You are one of the only people that I know who is more particular than I . Your name is on your truck and on the sign in the front yard of the building site. In addition, you are on location every step of the way to ensure everything is completed to the standards that you have established.

I recommend that anyone considering a building project, in the interest of achieving the greatest value, consult with you before breaking ground."

"We had the opportunity to have Carl Finley build our family's home in 2001. The actual building process took approximately 4 months, went very smoothly and our home was done when it was promised. We wanted a turn-key building process in which the house would be ready for us to move into (no painting, staining, or other "finishing" required by us), and that was what we received.

Although we had a specific house plan in mind when we contacted Carl, he offered several practical suggestions on ways to make better use of space in various rooms. He also found ways to create some extra storage areas for us. Because we had never built a home before, this was very helpful to us.

Once Carl drew our "finished" house plans, he gave us a very detailed estimate. With the exception of changes that we made, his figures were right on target with his original quotation.

After living in our new home fore over a year now, we are very pleased with the overall craftsmanship. We believe we got "good value" for our money. It is a comfortable home for our family and has proved to be very energy efficient as well. There have been no major problems with our home and Carl has been responsive to several small items that have needed his or a sub-contractor's follow-up.

Carl Finley Builders definitely has our endorsement! In fact, we recently decided to finish a portion of our basement. We simply called Carl, met with him to discuss the areas to be completed, asked for a quote and determined when he could start the project. It is now under way and we are, again, well pleased with the results."
-Jim and Donna Swartz


"Our first instinct to build a house was to find a builder with a good reputation. This will be the second house we have built. Ever since we were introduced to Carl Finley Builders, we have heard only good words about them. It has been true from our direct experience with them.

Time was crucial to complete the house in a short and efficient manner. Carl was aware of our situation and was eager to work with us to challenge the schedule. The house was completed earlier than anticipated. The actual construction took approximately 11 weeks and we moved in on the 12th week!

During the plan development, we had some specific needs. Carl was able to provide recommendations from his experience to smooth out the floor plan we had chosen. As always, ideas changed as the construction progressed. We made several changes and Carl was willing to work with us and tried to stay within the budget. In the end, we were over only by about 2%, but we are happy, since we got exactly what we wanted for our new house.

We are very pleased with the materials used and the final product of this new home. We found Carl to be a very honest person. He is very proud of his work and is conscientious about quality work. Carl stands by his product. We highly recommend Carl Finley Builders to others and will use them again!"
