A premier home builder in the Bryan-College Station, Brazos Valley area

To Whom It May Concern:
Recently, we had a home built by Bill and Cindy Morris of Elegant Living Homes (ELH) and we want to take the opportunity to say what a pleasant experience it was for us. Having a house built for you can be a daunting task ) we know---this is our 5th one), but as we saw with ELH, it doesn’t have to be. We think the key issue here was the willingness of Bill and Cindy to work with you daily on every aspect of the house construction and to make sure you’re satisfied and happy. If that meant changing some feature or convenience factor, adding or deleting some item, rearranging the appearance of the house, or substituting materials and surfaces, they were the first to say, “let us seen what we can do”. You cant put a price tag on the improved comfort zone and goodwill to the homeowner that such an attitude generates.
The second item we want to touch on is the quality of construction and attention to detail. Before we decided upon a builder, we looked at over 100 houses (by over 20 builders) under construction in the Brazos Valley. The quality went from horrendous to excellent. Unknown to ELH, we followed about 5 of their houses under construction from the slab to final sale. The same high quality was put into each house. If there were mistakes (and there will always be some), we saw the mistake ripped out and corrected. Just prior to final inspection, ILH are their own worst critics for pointing out defects in the house. They will go through the house and mark incidental items that the average person wouldn’t see, and the average builder would just try to cover up.
Thirdly, we need to talk about the “little things” that ELH puts into their houses that are excluded in many builders’ houses. We know from experience that if some of these items aren’t included in the house to begin with, it will cost you later when you have to pay to have them installed, or the fact hat without them there’s a reduced value of the house at resale. Some of these items added by ELH include: rain gutters; decking in the attic over garage; extra allowance of high quality bedding plants and grass for landscaping; heavy-duty wooden privacy fence with corrosive nails; extra wide crown molding in the den, dining room, entrance, kitchen and master bedroom; window coverings throughout; oversized patio; solid surface countertops; extra-wide driveway; sidewalks from driveway to both front and side doors; generous blend of wood, ceramic tile, and carpet for flooring; and extra-sized heating and air conditioning tonnage for reserve capacity.
Without reservation, we highly recommend ELH to anyone considering a new home.
Sincerely,
Roger and Anna Bell Harvey
