Building a house is a large commitment for both the buyer and the builder. It takes time and patience from both parties to help the process move along smoothly and for the house to turn out as envisioned. We are happy to state that working with Pete and his team at Kings Court Builders (KCB) was a pleasant, smooth and productive experience, and that the final product – our house – exceeded our expectations.
Ours was a custom home and Pete got involved early – even before we had a signed an agreement with KCB. He assessed the suitability of the tear-down property we were going to buy and made quick notes regarding the topology, orientation, etc. He interacted with us from his initial sketches to final drawings (often working overnight), always seeking our input to shape the outcome. Some other builders had asked us to start with their standard plans and refused to build on a narrow lot like ours. Pete knew from the get-go that we were starting with a clean sheet of paper. In the end, our house that was built on a narrow lot turned out to be spacious and a pleasure to live in!
After signing the construction agreement, we worked with Courtney on material options and selection. The process that has often been described as daunting was in fact a lot of fun. Courtney was very easy to work with – always pleasant and patient with us. Her 3-D visualizations were very insightful too. She visited our old house to view our furniture and showed us where they would go on the plan for our new house. The suppliers to KCB had an adequate choice of materials which made it easier for us to pick colors, designs, and products that we liked. Courtney helped us make the best color matches – for example, between the brick façade, roof shingles, windows and garage door, sometimes bringing in Linda for a second opinion. Chris (who has moved on in her career) helped double-check our change orders to make sure nothing was duplicated.
Once construction was complete, Frank gave us a walkthrough that was through and encyclopedic. All the product and appliance manuals were safely left where we could find them. Ken has coordinated all warranty service with courtesy and promptness after we moved in. All-in-all our experience with KCB has been a positive and productive one and we would highly recommend them!
