Featured Reviews for Home Builders & Construction Companies in Tumwater.

Freese Custom Homes LLC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Tumwater.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 December 2021
“We spoke with numerous builders and started our building project with one other builder before finally finding Freese Custom Homes, and are so glad that we found them and decided to have them build our home. Todd was amazing to work with from the very beginning planning process all the way through to following up after we moved into our home. Instead of working with an architect, we had Freese Custom Homes design our house based on some ideas we had and are incredibly happy with the floorplan and design we ended up with, not to mention the cost savings over using an architect. Todd was able to design a house that was laid out just like we wanted, and also made sense from a builder's perspective so there were no architectural surprises during the building process. Communication throughout the build was great, which was very important as hiccups related to covid supply issues arose. Todd was able to work around all of the issues that came up and found reasonable alternatives when the selections we chose were no longer available. The end product is above our expectations and we couldn't be happier about how it turned out. If I had another building project in the future, Todd would be my first choice without hesitation.”
Ritzman Construction LLC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Tumwater.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 July 2013
“We hired this company in 1991 to custom build our 3200 square foot home. This is a family owned business and at that time was owned and operated by Mike Ritzman's mom and dad. They were terrific. They were on time, they were pleasant and they even returned some of our money. In the ensuing years I have had them remodel a rental property I have, plus a $30,000 repair when a large tree fell onto the roof. A couple of years ago I had them build a custom garage of about 1550 feet. This is the $50,000 - $100,000 listed in this review. Once again they did it on time and on budget. I wouldn't go anywhere else for work, whether new construction or a remodel.”

Scott Homes, Inc
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Tumwater.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 June 2012
“We used Scott Homes to design and build a 5 bedroom house on the Washington Coast. The house is used both as a vacation rental and as a family vacation spot. There were several requirements that needed to be met, and Scott Homes met all of them with ease. One of those was it needed to be a green building and they are experts in using SIPS panels which give the house a great feel. They are also really good people, honest and helpful. I loved how they allowed us complete say where we wanted it in coming up with design & hammering out details, but offered ideas/experience where we needed it, also offering wonderful subcontractors and suppliers. They stayed exactly on target from a time and budget standpoint. I would recommend them highly.”

They were very easy to work with, kept a great online building schedule that was updated daily so we could see the progress being made. We are very happy customers and highly recommend them to others. All said and done we had thousands in instant equity. Yeah!”
HiLine Homes
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Tumwater.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 January 2014
“We decided to use this builder because we were able to build a bigger house for the same amount of money spent to buy a smaller house. The whole staff was very friendly and knowledgable. They walked us through every step and were always available if and when we had questions. There were a lot of options available for us to choose from. It was so fun to be a part of building our home! While our home was being constructed, I was able to get to know the inspector. He would comment about how this builder, Lexar, was building ABOVE the minimum code requirements. As the homeowner, knowing that, made me confident we chose the right builder!! It has been almost 5 years now, and we would DEFINITLY choose this builder again!!”

“This is an awesome company to deal with. I have a long distance building project in mind and they have been extremely prompt with email enquiries; (despite the 8 hour time difference!) and they have gone out of their way to provide me with all the information required prior to construction. I look forward to working with them this summer.”
