Tom Tobey worked closely with us through the entire process to build our dream home.
Shortly after purchasing raw land in May 2017, Jolene and I interviewed many local builders / contractors. We felt very comfortable with Tom and decided to trust him with our construction. We reviewed and approved our initial floor plan design in June 2017. We had septic approval in June; John Meade installed a standard septic system. By July we had our water well drilled, using Coleman's Well Drilling & Pump. We highly recommend both Coleman's Well Drilling and John Meade Excavating as they both performed superb jobs.
The process of building a home takes time. As the seasons change, so does the construction process. Since it was becoming winter, we chose to wait until spring 2018 to begin construction of our home. In March 2018 we had to downsize a little bit in order to stay within our construction budget. In order to stay within our financial requirements, Tom redesigned from 2400 square foot three bedroom / den to a two bedroom / den without losing the perspective Jolene and I wanted in our home.
We designed a single level 2196 square foot two-bedroom, walk in closet in the master bedroom, den, two bath, pantry, mudroom great room / kitchen and three car garage home. 9 foot then vaulted ceilings, hard wood floors, berber carpet in the bedrooms and den, tile in the bathrooms and lots of windows. Our home meets ADA specifications. We have a beautiful fireplace which can heat the home similar to a wood stove. The woodwork on the doors, baseboards, windows and cabinets is beautiful. We have lots of light through our many windows and can enjoy the view of our land and our water feature in the back yard.
We began construction in March 2018. We moved into our new home on November 15, 2018.
We will complete the landscaping in the Spring of 2019.
Jolene and I are extremely satisfied with the exceptional personal care Tom has taken in building our home. He dealt with all issues as they arose in a professional manner and to our satisfaction. Tom continually communicated with us throughout the project, keeping us informed as construction proceeded. All questions and concerns were promptly addressed.
To those desiring a truly custom home designed and built to your specification, we recommend Tom Toby Design and Build LLC. You will not be disappointed.
Sincerely,
James A. Lefeber read more
