Customer Reviews

Christopher

Our experience with Forbes Capretto Homes during the final design stage and pre-construction meeting was truly outstanding and exceeded our expectations. This phase can feel overwhelming with so many decisions to make, but their team made it exciting, smooth, and incredibly reassuring. Amanda, our design consultant, was absolutely amazing. She is knowledgeable, patient, and has a great eye for detail. She took the time to explain every option, helped us visualize how everything would come together, and offered thoughtful guidance that made us feel confident in every choice. Amanda never rushed us and genuinely cared about creating a home that reflected our style and vision. Working with her was one of the highlights of the entire process. Steve, our sales representative, was equally fantastic. From start to finish, he was attentive, transparent, and always available to answer questions. During the pre-construction meeting, he made sure everything was clearly explained and that no detail was overlooked. His professionalism and communication gave us complete peace of mind as we prepared to move forward with the build. The pre-construction meeting itself was thorough, well-organized, and reassuring. We walked away feeling informed, excited, and confident that we were in great hands. Forbes Capretto Homes truly sets the standard for customer care, and Amanda and Steve are a big reason why. We couldn’t be happier with our experience so far and would absolutely recommend Forbes Capretto Homes to anyone looking to build their dream home.

I am extremely happy with my home and would absolutely recommend Forbes Capretto to anyone looking for a builder that delivers both quality and peace of mind. Being that I have never built a new home in my life I was terrified! It is a huge commitment. But, with Forbes Capretto they truly made it easy and painless. My Sales person, Vern, was on point! Answering all of my questions and made me feel at ease. Most importantly I didn't feel pressure, it was so much more relaxing than spending time at the BMW Dealer!!! Thank You Forbes Capretto for a home that I am proud to call my own.

We had a fantastic experience building our beautiful home with the Forbes Capretto team. Stacey Spokane introduced us to the Forbes company and made us feel comfortable and excited immediately. Alisa our Interior Designer, was a joy to work with! She offered valuable input while giving us freedom to make the house our home. Mike, our Project Manager, was fantastic in keeping us informed of construction status. We trusted his judgement and knew he was working with our best interests in mind!

Rebecca Gallivan

My husband & I recently built with Forbes Capretto Homes & we could not be happier. We have built with another builder in the past & this experience was much more pleasant. They make the selection process so simple & their designer Alisa is so knowledgeable & helpful. I felt Stacey really took the time to meet our needs while keeping our budget in mind. We are very happy with the overall quality of our home & the professionalism received from everybody at Forbes Capretto. We highly recommend!
