Experience the encore homes Difference

Love our new home built by Encore Homes! We couldn’t be more pleased with the build process. John, head foreman, was always on hand to answer questions and make needed changes. Nicole was awesome in helping me make custom selections for flooring, backsplash, tile and colors throughout the home. Abby was always reachable and set up any appointments for service. The floor plan is perfect for our needs and offers flexibility for this season in our lives! I do not want a cookie cutter home and you won’t get that with Encore. They'll design & execute your vision of home at an affordable price!

We were fortunate enough to use Encore as our builder and I can't praise them enough. Once we agreed to terms, everything went as planned without any hassles at all. The entire staff in the office were up to date as to our build progress and our building supervisor was simply great. Anything that needed attention was taken care of and finished to perfection. Additionally, our project came off on time, which is a rarity these days. If you are considering a remodel or a full custom build you need to contact them so they can listen to your concerns and needs. You will not be disappointed.

We designed and built our new home with Encore Homes and had a good experience throughout the process. What we liked about the experience was the reliable communication throughout the design and building process. We enjoyed the weekly building updates once our house started. The team was always available to answer our questions and ensure everything went smoothly. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail exceeded our expectations at every turn. We would recommend Encore for a new build, they have years of experience and it shows.
