Customer Reviews
Sara Eadie
We recommend Engelsma Homes without hesitation. From the moment of our first meeting, we felt we had a partner and friend in the home building process. Every person we worked with went above and beyond to give us the best experience. The quality of their work and attention to detail is second to none. They are receptive to feedback and stay in contact with us even after the build is finished to ensure we remain happy with our home. We would use them again if needed and recommend them to anyone who is looking to build/renovate
Jim Whalen
The entire Engelsma Team was excellent. The design team did an outstanding job transforming our kitchen remodeling needs into the perfect design. Their in-house cabinetry engineering and manufacturing was world class. Everyone who worked on the project from Engelsma, sub contractors, and project management were professional with high quality and attention to detail. We could not be happier with our kitchen addition and remodel project as well as the process to get us here. Great Job Engelsma Homes!!
Doug Soho
We built our home with Engelsma eight years ago. From site selection to home design and all through the construction process, they were easy to work with, and delivered stellar work. Following construction, we have had a few minor issues. Most builders would have turned their backs on us and told us we were on our own, but Engelsma have always been responsive and have gone above and beyond to make everything right. We’ve built two prior homes with other builders and the difference is night and day. We highly recommend Engelsma to anyone looking to build their home. They are a wonderful group of people and do fantastic work.
