Elevate Design + Build

The experience with Elevate Design + Build has been phenomenal. From our initial consultation with Sean, we have had a seamless build that has met our expectations at every turn. The real star of our build process has been our Construction Supervisor Chad Slavens. His attention to detail, prompt and open communication, and follow-through has given us the comfort and trust that every detail was done with care and precision. Since most of the build process is working with your construction supervisor, having Chad as our POC gave us a ton of confidence and peace of mind. The Elevate team also partners with amazing vendors that took the care to understand what we wanted in our home and delivered finishes that we can’t wait to live in. We highly recommend working with Elevate Design + Build for your custom home. They truly create a personalized experience that delivers not just a “house” but “home” designed around you.

Our experience began well with the ADA friendly home Sean designed from an existing plan paying close attention to physical needs while interweaving our aesthetic desires.

We unfortunately experienced a structural change to our kitchen that wasn’t disclosed to us but Chad Slavens, the home’s construction supervisor and build project manager, took the issue by the horns. With Sean’s support, Chad worked tirelessly to achieve a satisfactory compromise.

Chad’s handling of difficult situations didn’t stop with the kitchen. Throughout the build, Chad’s constant attention to detail and proactive communication proved invaluable as we dealt with multiple situations caused by confusion and missing information from others in the organization.

He handled concerns swiftly and completely and worked remarkably with the sub-contractors. He made sure solutions and compromises provided still contained quality craftsmanship that he and we expected in our home.

Elevate Design & Build earned this 5 star review through the above and beyond efforts of Chad Slavens.

We are in the process of buying a spec home from Elevate, and holy cow, this has been the easiest home buying experience we have had. Sean has been so quick to come up with solutions for the things we wanted tweaked, and extremely responsive to all of our questions. To begin with, these houses scream WELL THOUGHT OUT DESIGN! The second we walked in the door of the two spec homes we randomly stumbled upon (going to look at another house in the same neighborhood), we noticed the beautiful upgrades and fun quirks that we just haven’t found in the other (many) new builds we have toured. We had the hardest time picking one of the two houses by this builder we found, they were both absolutely beautiful. I’m so excited to move in. Closing day can’t come soon enough! If you want a builder who won’t make you wait days on end for answers, who knows how to problem solve and won’t jerk you around, I would highly recommend hiring them. Thank you for everything, Sean!

Update: Today is closing day and I just have to add that our final walkthroughs (two of them because we are moving from out of state) were surprisingly very pleasant. Cole was awesome about blue taping stuff I didn’t even notice, and Chad was completely on the ball with getting things completed in what I know was a huge rush to accommodate our quick close request. They got stuff done, and done well. I can already tell they stand by the work they do, and they will be back for any fixes we need in the next year of home ownership. They sincerely couldn’t be nicer people to work with, and their work ethic is impressive.

We had an amazing build experience starting with Sean and now with Chad and Cole. Chad has been responsive, professional and organized. Chad has also gone above and beyond throughout. Cole has helped walk us through warranty process. Moving in to our beautiful home is a dream come true. We highly recommend and trust Elevate Design + Build 100%.
Thank you!

We purchased our new home from Elevate and we cannot say anything negative about this builder! All new homes seemingly have an issue or two but if you you are looking for a builder who goes above and beyond and delivers on his promises, Sean is your guy! The quality and attention to detail is top notch. Sean does not ignore you or delegate you away, he his involved in every aspect no matter how trivial an issue seems. I won't hesitate to use him again or be shy about referring anyone I know to him. Thanks Sean and you entire team at Elevate!!
