Boutique Living by Curate

Boutique Living by Curate is an excellent builder. Denver and his team is professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to building quality homes. I’ve seen firsthand the pride they take in their work and the way they serve their clients with honesty and care. It’s clear they value both craftsmanship and customer service, which sets them apart.

Curate built our new home in north Chattanooga. Working with them was very easy and we love our house! Our project manager, Bill, was unbelievable! He knew exactly what was happening at all times. Selections were a little limited, but we were able to put together a home with modern finishes that met our vision.

Building our new house at Black Creek was an incredible experience! The amazing team there made the whole process a pleasure. We first met Jamie by accident – another agent at a Greentech development recommended we check out Black Creek. We spent some time with her, talking about what we wanted in a house and what Greentech could offer (Curate hadn’t split off yet). She took us all around the Knoll, and the rest of the Black Creek community. When we returned home, we talked with some friends who had built a house in NJ, going over some of the problems they had during construction. When we returned to Chattanooga a few months later, we looked some more at the Knoll and a quick look through the mudfield that would become the Garrison. In early February of 2020, we picked a floor plan and signed a contract while at home in New York. Then came Covid. We had originally planned on flying down for design meetings. Instead, we had all our meetings with Piper, our designer, by Zoom calls. We would narrow color choices down and Piper would send us samples to make a final decision. She also sent us links from the suppliers for lights, cabinets, paint and hardware. Luckily, paint companies are all over, so we could get color swatches in NY and they would be able to paint in Chattanooga. Due to Covid delays and slowdowns, we had all the design decisions made before construction actually started. When construction did start (almost a year after we signed), we met two more of the Curate team – our Project Manager, Laura, and her assistant, Karen. From groundbreaking until completion we received photos documenting everything – foundations and footings, decking, stud work, roofing, windows, inspections – everything. In March of ’21, we were finally able to meet all these people in person, and others, when we did the electrical walk through. From a shell of a house at this point to a fully-finished house four months later, there were more pictures, phone calls, texts and Zooms – from fixing ‘oops’ to final details. Throughout the entire process, everyone was a pleasure to work with. Designing and building a house isn’t easy at the best of the times. Doing it from 800 miles away during a pandemic should have been a disaster. The fact that it wasn’t is a testament to the professionalism of the entire Curate team.

Curate… WOW!!! Just an amazing experience for us with our build. From day 1 with Jamie with the sale to design with Piper, Sarah and Ryan and the build with Laura and Sara the attention to detail during the build. We were out of state doing this but felt so comfortable with the team keeping us updated with pics, texts and phone calls… the house is gorgeous… the quality and details are amazing, so much more than what we are used to for a much better price. Thank you to all, Curate is an awesome company!!!
