"When conversation turns to building
horror stories, we feel left out--we have none. We chose Baxter
Construction because we wanted a local contractor who used local
resources. Jason worked hard to figure out what we needed and wanted in a
house and designed a home we love living in. No detail was
overlooked, from the built-in bookshelves to the fireplace mantle to
the extra outlet in the master bedroom. Off-hand comments like "We
can share the bathroom sink, but not the mirror" or "We
need a place to store the board games" were reflected in
the building plan. Nick built exactly what we envisioned, taking the plan
from paper to frame to drywall to paint. Everyone is stunned when we tell
them our house was built on-time and on-budget. The certificate of occupancy
was granted the exact day Nick predicted the house would be done, and we paid
precisely what we were told it would cost. What we appreciate most,
though, is Nick and Jason's people-skills. They guided us through the
home-building process with remarkable patience while still keeping to
their timetable. I thought building a house meant choosing paint
colors, not faucets and furnaces and cabinetry and closet
doors. Jason and Nick answered questions and gave plenty of
information and time for well-considered decisions. We love our home
and would never consider building another, but if we had to, we'd
definitely choose Baxter Construction again." Chris and Melissa
Nick and Jason,
We have lived in our new home now for
six years and want to let you guys know how much we have loved it. This is the
nicest home we have ever lived in and we've lived in several. We are especially
pleased with the solid construction and sincerely appreciate the extra effort
you put into using high quality materials such as the windows, wall
construction, the drainage around the foundation, method of securing the floor
boards to the joists, etc. We could list many more. The appearance of the
home is quite attractive but we are especially pleased with the quality of
materials which most people don't see. The added attention to
quality has certainly saved us the homeowner in the long term. Thanks for not
cutting corners to make an extra buck!
When friends and family come to visit,
we receive many compliments on our home. Many comment on the custom built-ins
and the attention paid to the detailed craftsmanship that is obvious to any
observer. We are always happy to let people know who built our home and why we
are proud of it. During the construction process, we sincerely valued your
professionalism and desire to meet our needs. We were especially impressed with
the construction crews who valued our opinion of their work and actually
asked how we would like certain things done! I've never experienced
that before. It is a good testament to your workmanship that we had
several people ask to tour our home to see how it was laid out and constructed.
Many wanted those features in their homes.
You guys really helped me out by giving
me ideas and suggestions for finishing the basement after we moved in. This was
invaluable. I don't know of anyone else who would have volunteered that kind of
assistance. After we moved in if we had any concerns, you were quick to address
and resolve them. That means a lot to us after having made such a big
investment. To this day, if we have a question or need advice you guys are kind
to help us out.
So again, thank you. We would be happy
to recommend Baxter Construction to our closest friends and family.
Sincerely,
Randy & Melissa DeSpain

"I
had an excellent home buying/building
experience with Nick. He was up-front with us from the start, responded to all
of our change requests, and was just a terrific guy to work with. The
home itself was built with superb craftsmanship. We gave a detailed punch
list after moving in, and we know from personal experience that you can't beat
the customer service Baxter Construction offers! I would also like to
mention that your excellent and swift work finishing our lower level toy room
last year has been a pleasure for the whole family, not just our
children. You guys [Baxter Construction] continue to be great about
responding to our needs and questions nearly four years after the process." Mitch and Kristen
