Reviews consistently highlight responsive communication, with calls, emails, and texts returned quickly throughout the build. Homeowners note a smooth, low-stress process and clear guidance on decisions and timelines. Feedback also points to strong workmanship and attention to detail, including finishes and what’s behind the walls. Several clients mention successful projects on challenging or remote sites and positive experiences with both new builds and later additions.

Brett Godfrey touched our hearts in so many ways while building our new home. We cannot give him enough thanks for building us such a well built home. He helped us understand what we needed to know for us to make decisions, and he always returned emails, phone calls and texts promptly whenever we had questions and concerns. Christie and I are deeply grateful to have chosen Brett to build our new home!

We recently completed a custom home build with Brett on Tablerock Lake and could not be happier with the overall process and end result! We were admittedly nervous about the build process in general given the somewhat remote location and unique terrain of our lot, combined with the fact we live six hours away and would not be able to visit frequently.

Brett made it look easy! Our project was completed in ~10 months which is fast especially given the location. Several of our neighbors commented on how efficient Brett is compared to other builders in the area. It’s clear that the subs have respect for Brett which contributed to the efficient process.

The quality of our home is fantastic. Brett made suggestions along the way that were budget friendly without compromising quality or the overall design characteristics of our home.

Brett was a pleasure to work with - he has a great personality, easy-going demeanor and communicates well. He was thoughtful and came up with creative solutions to any challenges encountered along the way. He demonstrated all of the characteristics you want in a home builder. It was a great partnership and we are so happy we chose Brett to build our lake home. We would absolutely work with Brett again in the future. Thank you for everything!

Building a home forces you into a major trust fall with your builder. Hopes, dreams, life savings, financial future & sanity are all at stake. Placing our trust in Brett was the beginning of what turned out to be one of the best experiences of our lives. Designing & building a home with him was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Our custom home and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. Throughout the entire process it was easy to see why he has earned the reputation as one of the premier builders in the region.

Brett doesn’t just build homes, he builds relationships. Every person we encountered throughout the process expressed the utmost respect for Brett as both a person & a builder. He has a well deserved reputation & strong working relationship with area suppliers & subcontractors & has earned the respect, trust & appreciation of a long list of satisfied customers. Throughout our build it was clear that Brett valued not just the outcome of the project, but also the relationship & trust he built with us along the way. His words & actions demonstrated on a daily basis that he cared about our house, he cared about our experience & he cared about us.

Among the things that stood out most throughout the entire process was Brett’s unwavering integrity. He approached every phase of the project with transparency, honesty, & a genuine commitment to doing things the right way - not just the easy way. Any challenges that arose were handled promptly & professionally, always with our best interest in mind. Communication occurred easily & frequently, timelines were clear, estimates were accurate & we were kept well informed throughout the entire project. Every detail that mattered to us, mattered to him. Not once did we lose a moment of sleep about our working relationship, the quality of the work being done, or Brett’s integrity & commitment to our happiness & satisfaction.

One of our primary goals was to create a home that was different & uniquely ours. With Brett’s expertise, attention to detail & keen eye for design that goal was realized. His thoughtful suggestions & creative solutions elevated our original vision while staying true to our style & budget. Every detail was carefully considered, resulting in a home that is not only beautiful & uniquely ours, but also incredibly functional. Equally impressive was the quality of construction, both the seen & the unseen. On a daily basis we appreciate the solid construction & finishing touches that make our home a beautiful & lasting investment. Each of the many compliments we receive about the beauty, quality & unique nature of our home validates the level of skill & craftsmanship that he brings to each house he builds.

Simply put, Brett builds houses of exceptional quality with integrity & commitment. He gave us the gift of both a wonderful experience & a beautiful & functional space that is unique. The one thing we didn’t expect was that the experience would end up being so much fun. Turns out we had a great time & enjoyed every step of the process. It was an all around awesome experience made all the more memorable by the fun we had & we could not be more proud to have a home that is “Built by Brett”.

I built a house with Brett in 2016. I have subsequently done an addition to that house in 2021 with Brett. Both of these projects have turned out beautifully and there was minimal stress. I built another custom home before I worked with Bret and this was a much better experience. He has been there from start to finish and has helped with other things after the build. Although I am in my forever home now, I would not hesitate to use him again in the future is ever needed.

When Built By Brett built our home, we were first time home builders. Brett and his professional team walked us through the process, asking and listening to what we wanted in our home, and did Brett deliver. The finishes and workmanship were exquisite. Brett ensures your home was built with quality products and assures what you can't see was professionally completed. We were overwhelmed by the beautiful house we received from Built By Brett. If you want a superior built home with the high-end finishes, that you will be proud to own, use BUILT BY BRETT.
