I decided to demolish my old house and build a new one, so I began speaking with several builders. One builder asked for $69,000 upfront every week and said he would provide appliances of his choice — if I wanted better quality, I would have to pay extra. Another builder referred me to his preferred architect, who was asking $100,000 just for architectural designs and selecting tiles and indoor materials (not even purchasing them). Then I met a young, handsome, energetic man at one of his job sites. He was covered in stone dust — I could barely see anything but his eyes. I had been looking for a developer I could truly trust — someone who would not always say yes to me, someone who would challenge me and clearly explain why certain ideas might not work. That person was Michael Barr. His father, James, never came to speak with me directly. Mike explained clearly how much I would need to pay each week for his services, and he assured me he would take full responsibility for the entire project. He was exactly the kind of professional I had been searching for — someone I could trust one hundred percent. That is why my wife and I chose Mike as our builder. Mike explained every step of the process with complete transparency. There were no hidden surprises. The entire project was well organized and moved quickly. Without compromising the architectural design, Mike reduced the number of unnecessary windows and saved $50,000. I had full freedom to choose high-quality appliances from Ferguson and selected tiles from Fitzgerald at discounted prices. Joe the electrician, Bob the plumber, and Ray the HVAC specialist all attended meetings to discuss the project. It was a wonderfully coordinated team effort. Mike delivered the house on time — even earlier than I expected. Whenever any issue arises, he immediately sends his team to address it. I truly believe I will never find another builder equal to Mike in every aspect. He has become part of our family.

We had a wonderful experience working with Mike and his team. The homebuilding process can often be stressful, but they made it smooth and enjoyable. Mike’s enthusiasm, energy and professionalism kept the project on schedule. The team excelled in quality, transparency and communication, and their experience was evident throughout. If you’re considering a new construction project, I highly recommend checking out the Westview team.

We had an excellent experience working with Mike Barr from Westview Homes. The quality of construction is outstanding, with great attention to detail and a strong focus on meeting customer requirements. Timelines were respected, communication was clear throughout, and there was no compromise on workmanship. What really stood out was their ability to balance high construction standards with realistic timelines and the builder's involvement beyond just construction - from thorough pre-construction planning and guidance to proactive post-construction support and follow-ups. I would highly recommend them without hesitation.

We hired Westview Homes Development for our custom build and our new house is exactly as what we had envisioned. The craftsmanship, attention to detail and communication was outstanding. Mike, Jim and the team did an amazing job, the house was not only completed on time but also came in under budget. Our build took less than 7 months from the time of demolition to the day we moved in. Communication and quality of work was fantastic. Mike promptly responded to my phone calls, messages and emails. They adapted to any changes that we would make throughout the process, provided great suggestions and the quality of the work was superior. The subs that they hired were also on time and were efficient in getting the work completed in a timely manner. It has been almost 3 months since we have moved in the new house and everything looks great. Mike is still accessible and responds to any questions we have. My family and I could not be more happy with our new home and the whole experience during construction. Highly recommend Westview!!!
