Poor quality would find out after 17 years. Stated as energy saving home and Third party checking for energy safe certification. But HVAC system had neglected one room without duct connecting vent. Only you would find out after you tried to replace new HVAC unit. Stated as using quality wood but you would get crack wood and roof would have sacking. My advise was Todd Sweaney ( He was OK ) but be careful with his team. I can support my claim with picture if you want

Todd Sweaney is the premier luxury builder in Bakersfield. As a Realtor, I've sold several of his homes throughout the years. His attention to detail and unmatched craftsmanship makes him stand out from all others. If a home is built by Sweaney Construction, I always make sure to mention that in my descriptions because I know potential buyers are well aware of the quality.

I have been a realtor involved with new construction in Bakersfield for 30 years. I have worked with all of the builders and Todd Sweaney is simply the best. He is honest, hard working and brings an artistic ability to all of his projects that can not be duplicated. Please call/text/email me with any questions. Best Wishes!

I am a construction loan lender who provides financing to clients wanting to build or renovate a home. Todd was able to step in and help a client who was in need of some special circumstances. As the lender reviewing the project documentation, I and the head of our construction department were very impressed at the professional quality and thoroughness of the project documentation provided to build this home. It made the review process go very quickly, which is a benefit to the customer who is having the home built. Todd has been very responsive and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to a successful build with our mutual client.

Sweaney Homes is one of only a couple of the most high end custom home builders in Kern County. No job is too big and no detail is too small. Everything from the start of, during, and to the finish of construction is considered and is done at the highest level of quality and craftsmanship.

I have worked with Todd on several projects. As an Architect, it's always a bonus to work with an individual that is determined to construct our designs as they have conceived. His attention to detail, his ability to see the end product are paramount to his success in building the highest quality home.

It is a pleasure to sell homes built by Todd Sweaney! He has a great reputation, and has built some of the finest custom homes in Bakersfield, specifically in the Seven Oaks and Grand Island golf course neighborhoods. I recently sold one of his homes in a double-gated golf course community, with over 7444 sq. ft. for almost 2 million, on the market one week! Incredible architectural design with excellent attention to detail!

Todd has the habit of keeping abreast of the latest trends in building design and construction. He is easy to work with and seems to have suggestions that always adds a plus to the construction process. His deep knowledge of construction always makes his projects the best it can be. Still, he's old fashioned in his beliefs that even the smallest detail is important. He's the best man for your building project! All you need do is review some of his building projects.

Todd Sweaney is the best builder anyone can hope for when in search of their dream home. To begin with, his professional knowledge is quite commendable, and he has the experience of building gorgeous homes that vary in size and style. He has a wonderful understanding of his customers' needs. He is able to efficiently work with one's budget while still making every single detail into perfection. He is able to complete one's project in the estimated time provided. I am very thankful to his team and him for making the process of building a home into a delightful experience.

It was Sweaney Custom Home's design of homes that first attracted my wife and I to interview Todd Sweaney as a potential builder for our new home. After the interview, we knew Sweaney Custom Homes was the builder/contractor for our new home. Todd and his wife Dana are very organized and have the guidelines and time table for the homeowner to follow in making the decisions during construction of the home. The communications from Todd and Dana to my wife and I were timely, professional, and second to none. Quality of construction is excellent and Todd's architecture design expertise allowed us to make several changes to his original plan, including a several custom ideas. We highly recommend Sweaney Custom Homes.

After having built and lived in several custom homes over the last 55 years we decided to do one more custom home project. This would be the last one and thus very important to us. We had a clear vision of what we hoped to achieve in creating a modest size Italian Villa style with updated features yet truly be one of a kind. We put our vision was put to paper with floor plan sketches and detailed lists of our ideas depicting our vision. Then it was time to search for the right builder for us to make this vision come to life. Our city has several excellent custom home builders. After a careful review of examples of completed projects, model homes and other research we were able to make our choice of Sweaney Custom Homes, Inc. Todd & Dana Sweaney took our sketches and lists depicting our vision for this project plus many hours of discussions to clarify the vision and produced a detailed design. The process was so clean and simple. Sweaney Custom Homes provided a one stop shop. They produced the detailed design, procurement and construction. The attention to the finest and or smallest of details was impressive. The project flow and timing of each phase was well managed. The usual seemingly endless selection process for colors, stone, flooring, hardware and fine finishes etc. was smooth and the easiest we have ever experienced. The professionals they bring to this process ensure the finished results meets expectations. We can say without reservation that Sweaney Custom Homes, Inc. Todd & Dana Sweaney are the best we have ever worked with. We sincerely recommend them to anyone that is seriously interested in a custom home that is set apart from the crowd. They can and will make your personal vision of a home just for you a reality.

Todd and Dana Sweaney are the best! They were friendly, honest and professional during our entire building process. We couldn't have asked for a better builder to build our beautiful home. There are so many decisions to make when building a home but they were always available to answer questions and provide direction for us. They operate their business with the highest integrity and experience. Tom and Lisa McIntosh

We have worked with Sweaney Custom Homes several times over the last ten years. As a supplier of residential elevator and dumbwaiter products we rely on builders to supply accurate plans to us and then to construct hoistways to concise dimensions. Sweaney Custom Homes has exceeded every expectation. We especially appreciate a high level of communication and coordination of trades required for us to bring our area of responsibility to a successful completion.
