Perhaps I am writing this a little late but my wife and I had the world's best home-building…read moreexperience with Leon Meyers, who has now retired from BuildSense. Leon built our house in Duke Forest in 1988 and I had never then and never since seen a builder so focused on quality in his product and his relationships than Leon. He managed his subs so superbly that they performed magnificently. Our house was completely custom designed by Richard Bell (Bell/Glazener Design Group) so everything was novel. From the first bulldozer to take out the designated trees until we moved in was under six months and there were *no call backs*. The house was done. Punch list completed. It was perfect. We could not believe it. From what I know, the approach that Leon took to his work has become the culture of BuildSense. There is no reason that building a house from scratch should be anything but thrilling and joyful, as it was for us. If you want that experience, this is where to go.

We met with Lisa to discuss ideas on remodeling our 1990s-era bathrooms because we were unsure of how to proceed. Lisa was able to present us a new vision, rescaling our plans and saving us a significant amount of money while still achieving our goal of creating an elegant, updated look and enhancing the function of the spaces. The savings on our bathroom remodels will allow us to embark on other redecorating projects that we thought were beyond our reach. We are thrilled! Lisa has amazing insights into melding function with beauty, and she has an appreciation of and respect for collectibles and antiques, and how best to display them to tell our family story. She has extensive resources to help us realize our vision. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Lisa to enhance our entire home, thereby enriching our family life. We are so pleased to have her as our guide in this journey! Kristine W.
