Architectural Design in Washington Park.

“Brent and his father, Garland, built a new home for us in Mill House Place that was completed in 2012. From start to finish, they were easy to work with. They provided a realistic timeline and remained on track throughout the building process, were fair in pricing their work and never cut corners, always took time to talk with us about products that could used in building our home, and were very knowledgeable about every aspect of the construction process. An added bonus is that both Brent and Garland are accomplished craftsmen and expect the best from subcontractors. In fact, Brent is an amazing talent. He designed and built the library in our home and added numerous personal touches throughout. Our family and friends have been extremely impressed with the quality and creativity apparent in Brent's design and finish work--he far surpassed our expectations. Finally, both Brent and Garland are easy to talk to and have high ethical standards. They definitely are deserving of a 5 star rating--a very special company!”

“Topsider Homes earned our confidence in all aspects of its offerings: innovative design; soundness and efficacy of engineering; strength of the structure; quality of components; and, accessibility of service during construction. The construction blueprints, manuals and videos are clear and precise in every detail, which assures that builders, building inspectors and owners are provided all the information for project installation and inspections of the Topsider-provided prefabricated components and to assure effective tie-in of any necessary builder-provided components (such as decks, patios, entranceways and site preparation). Construction of any kind is always full of challenges as a consequence of the variability in the qualities of the builder and his subs. We spent months working with Topsider to locate a builder experienced in installing a Topsider or similar prefabricated home…but found that this was not necessary as the construction information provided by Topsider makes it possible for any competent builder and subs to properly erect the structure. Topsider people were always available and responsive to provide answers and solutions to construction questions and issues. Our contract was entered into in April 2016. The County Building Inspector issued his Certificate of Occupancy in March 2017. Since that time there have been no quality issues with Topsider materials or design. As regards design and engineering we are particularly pleased with the strength of the structure in dealing with frequent high winds and gusts at our mountain site…a consequence of all load bearing components being focused on the center steel beam which allows interior room design flexibility and utilization of ductless HVAC systems. We are particularly pleased that we included the optional Cupola. The R-39 hard insulation components make the home energy efficient and add strength and integrity of the overall structure. The space inside the pedestal accommodates and secures electric and water utilities. In our relatively cold climate it has been necessary to install electric heating “tapes” to water lines and drains extending from the pedestal, which is the responsibility of the builder, but which really should be noted in the blueprints and builder instructions. We are pleased with our Topsider home and recommend the company to others.”

“Kevin Jones and his team have built many of my projects. His attention to detail and the plans is phenomenal. When I know that he's to be the contractor for a project, I'm assured that it will be built according to the plans and will be a project that I'll use in my portfolio. His attention to detail and the construction process is unrivaled, as he is able to finish a project quicker and of better quality than most other builders in the area. I always recommend him first if ask for recommendations from my clients. Simply put, he's one of the best contractors around.”

“Randy, Karen & Mike did a great job on our renovation. They were clear about cost and expectations up front, were helpful with design of renovation, and they made sure the final product was done correctly. I would highly recommend them, and will use them again myself.”
