Loved working with New Era. The process went so great. Trent was awesome to work with on getting our design where we wanted it. John and Steve never let us down throughout construction with all the challenges we threw their way. We are not from the area and their communication kept us up to date every step of the way. Lori kept all the paperwork very organized and we really appreciated her expertise. Todd has assembled a great team that we highly recommend for anyone building their dream home.
It has been over a year since we took possession of our NEW ERA HOME in Jan 2023. I want to highly recommend Todd McKinney and his very professional team. The planning process was very specific and detailed. NEH outlined all of the expectations that would eventually become a reality. We were given a notebook of documents that enforced NEH warranty and quality standards. Building a home in Central Oregon while residing in the Midwest was a difficult decision. I had trust issues regarding the quality of workmanship that could occur knowing I was not able to visit the construction site. The Buildertrend app was utilized to give me step by step assurance that progress was happening according to the detailed schedule. The schedule showed me 2-4 weeks of planned tasks that would be checked off when completed, as well as uploaded photos, documenting the progress. I was frequently consulted if any questions arose which gave me confidence in their attention to details and the effort to do everything according to my wishes. The end result was everything we hoped for. As with all construction surrounding covid, supply chain, and labor force shortages we did go over budget, but we were happy with the adjustments made and considered them more than fair, given the volatile environment and skyrocketing costs. There were very few issues at the 1 year warranty point but all minor items were promptly corrected. I assure you, this is THE company you want for your home. All of the team are wonderful. I still keep in touch with some of them and we drop by the office when we are in town to say hello. If I could give NEH a 10 STAR review, I would!!
We can’t say enough good things about our experience with New Era Homes. My husband originally wanted to build himself - as he is extremely detail oriented and exceptionally handy. When we realized the timing wasn’t right and we needed to have someone build our home, we were nervous about the process. At the time we had several friends who had horrendous experiences with their builders and one even ended up in bankruptcy due to escalating costs.We did a lot of research before choosing New Era, but were still worried about extra costs and things not being done the way we wanted them - mostly because we lived 3 hours away and knew we wouldn’t be able to be at the construction site during every step of the way.Once the build was on the way, we had nothing but pleasant surprises. Everyone we worked with from New Era was knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. Every time we visited the construction site we were impressed with the quality of materials chosen for our new home. One of our rooms is a dedicated weight room. New Era reinforced the floors for us in case any weights were dropped (something we hadn’t thought about) The construction supervisors caught every tiny little issue and made sure things were fixed. We enjoyed our interactions with the supervisors and the contractors - and the pictures of our new home that were posted every few days.We love our new home. It’s beautiful and the craftsmanship is outstanding. The quality and attention to detail truly exceeds our expectations.
New Era was great to work with. Trent, Lori, Steve, John and all the crews were excellent. Only minor hiccups that happen with any build and nothing that caused a delay of more than a day. There's a lot of moving parts and things went smoothly. Would definitely work with again. All the contractor friends we know were all very impressed with the quality and workmanship.
You’d be hard pressed to find a better built home than what Todd McKinney and crew provide at New Era. We recently moved into our beautiful new home in Central Oregon and the quality and craftsmanship is outstanding! New Era Homes truly lives up to providing “uncommon standards” at a very reasonable price. This is especially impressive as the majority of the build was done with us out of state. New Era managed our site development and build from afar and the entire process went very smoothly with excellent communication and updates all along the way. Their customer service is top notch. Thanks very much to Todd, Trent and the rest of the New Era team. We love our new home!
