Reviews

What customers say

Homeowners praise the team’s communication and finished-home craftsmanship, and several describe attentive support through design and construction. One homeowner said design selections were completed before groundbreaking and that the project stayed on schedule. A prospective buyer, however, described Jay as unprofessional, objected to what they saw as resistance to working with an agent, and said they bought elsewhere.

Aspire Fine Homes was truly a joy to work with. Michael, David, and Desire are incredibly kind, attentive, and always made us feel supported and cared for. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and their communication and professionalism have been outstanding. We are so grateful for our experience and couldn’t be happier with our home — we highly recommend them!

We had an exceptional experience building our custom home and couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. The build quality was outstanding, including complex custom features such as a walk-in, temperature-controlled wine cellar capable of housing over 1,500 bottles. The level of craftsmanship truly exceeded our expectations. All design selections were completed prior to breaking ground, which made the entire process highly efficient and well organized. Communication throughout the build was excellent, and the team kept us informed every step of the way. While there were a few inevitable bumps along the way, any issues that arose were handled promptly, professionally, and with genuine care. The owner, David Gordon, is a man of integrity, and that quality is clearly reflected throughout his entire team. The project stayed on schedule, and Desiree’s assistance, experience, and extensive knowledge made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. As someone who is highly detail-oriented and deliberate in decision-making, building a fully custom home could have been overwhelming. Desiree guided us through every aspect of the selection and design process—hundreds of decisions—with patience, expertise, and unwavering support. Without her, the process would have been far more difficult. We built at the same time as several friends who chose other builders, and the contrast was clear. Our home was completed on schedule and with far fewer headaches. Based on our experience, we would absolutely build again with Aspire—and them alone. We highly recommend them to anyone seeking a truly custom home and a reliable, high-quality building experience.

Please be cautious of working directly with Aspire. The homes are beautiful but the person we considered working with, Jay, was so unprofessional we decided we would never buy a house from them. He straight up lied and told us that we would be unable to find a house in our price range in the area we were looking when HIS OWN COMPANY was selling one in our range in the location we were looking in at the time we were looking. It was just so ridiculous because two seconds of Internet search showed the lie. They really wanted us to pay for a house that hadn't been fully constructed yet so he seemed to think lying was a better idea. Then after we bought with someone else instead of the professional "oh, too bad, would love to do business in the future response" he thought insulting our decisions was a better idea. Also, they will fight you to the death on working with an agent since they seem to think they'll be able to get more money out of you and make you believe you got a deal. Unless you are an agent or have a lot of experience in real estate, I wouldn't recommend working with them. Also, only worked with Jay, so it's possible other agents aren't as bad.

Every detail—big and small—was handled with care, and the communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. Aspire brought our vision to life better than we could have imagined. The design, finishes, and overall build quality are top-notch, and it’s clear they take great pride in their work. We always felt heard, supported, and guided by their knowledgeable team. If you're looking for a builder who delivers high-quality homes with integrity, transparency, and an excellent customer experience, Aspire Fine Homes is the perfect choice. We absolutely love our new home and highly recommend them!

Michael Guenther

David, Desiree, Taylor, and the rest of the Aspire team made the design and pre-construction phase of the homebuilding process stress free. As first time home builders, we were unsure of what to expect going into the process. The team went out of their way to answer all of our questions, discuss alternatives when necessary, and designed a home we are excited to complete. We look forward ot the next phase of the process and would highly recommend them to others looking to build a home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Aspire estimate a custom home takes from first conversation to move-in?

Aspire estimates roughly 16–18 months from the first conversation to move-in. Construction typically takes 10–12 months after groundbreaking, while pre-construction takes about six months after a lot is identified.

Does the custom-home construction price include land?

No. Land is separate from construction, and its cost varies with the neighborhood, lot size and location.

How does Aspire review design selections before construction?

A mid-design checkpoint confirms that selections align with the homeowner’s goals before construction begins.
