Why our customers love
working with us

We were very happy with the process from start to finish.

Everyone we worked with was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around! You helped make what could have been a very stressful process easier than anticipated.

OWC, hands down, is the best.

Flatly put-- you're crazy to not seek OWC to build your next home. You will understand what a custom builder really is and be able to filter out all the postering builders out there who say they're "custom".

We couldn’t be happier.

They went above and beyond to make sure our house was everything we wanted it to be. We get lots of compliments on the rounded corners, fixtures, massive island, master suite… It feels like a dream waking up in our beautiful home.

Great to work with!

Process was seamless and the team was great, very responsive, willing to listen but not apprehensive to share their expertise to keep things on track when I wasn’t able to visualize how everything would come together.

We felt like we were family.

It's overwhelming to build a house -- but the streamlined approach makes it calming and stress-fee as possible. We always felt like we were family. Cannot tell you how important that human relationship was to myself and my wife

Couldn’t recommend them more!

OWC was the perfect builder. Every part of the process was smooth and exciting. They are fully custom builder. Any idea you have will come to life. Every person in the process had amazing communication.

I loved our experience.

I thought they did an incredible job for us, and I work for a home builder. How clean they kept the site and cared of our home was really neat to see. They met/exceeded our expectations everywhere. We have a beautiful home.

Great experience!

Everyone was courteous, kind and very knowledgeable throughout the process. We were impressed with the clear and open communication. Also the craftsmanship and quality of our new home is outstanding.

Smooth & enjoyable process.

The entire team delivered on what we set out to create. We definitely built our dream home. And what very minor issues came about, they resolved quickly. Throughout the entire process we were reminded why we selected OWC.

My expectations were exceeded across the board.

OWC is a great home builder. They are honest, fair and really care about the final product. There are many builders out there and I would encourage anyone looking to build to sit down with Jim.
