Customer Reviews

Philip Isle

Riley and his crew stepped in and fixed a number of defects that were identified during our 11 month home inspection. Even though these weren't their problems, they stepped in to help fix the issues and every step of the way Riley's team was professional, knowledgeable, and they were extremely focused on attention to detail to make sure each problem identified was fixed correctly. Each member of his team was excellent and easy to work with. After this experience I wish I could have worked with WelBuilt Homes from the beginning of my building project. Given their attention to detail and customer focused service, I know I would have had an excellent building experience!

We've known Riley for a few years and he's helped us out with several projects around our current house. Honest, reliable, great communication, he's always had good ideas that have helped us out. When we build it will be with nobody else - it's hard to find top quality people that you can trust and rely on, but he fits the bill.

We made the decision to follow Riley when he started his own company and we are so thankful we did. He been building for many years and has great relationship with many of the subcontrators and the local community and this is who you want in a builder. Riley even started to prepare our lot and got utilities completed prior to the loan closing to save us time for the build. He was able to get another foundation team on our build to keep our project moving along. The process of home building can be stressful but he has always told us that he wants it to be "fun". We are very excited to have our home built by Riley and the WELBuilt Homes team and can't wait for it's completion.
