The office staff Kim and Phil were so helpful. They met us several times on the site to make sure the progress was being made appropriately with the timeline set. They walked us through the house and answered all of our questions about the building process.

Working with such a great staff was the best part of choosing to work with SS Steele Homes. They were attentive to the design changes that we wanted to make and let us know what would and wouldn't work.
