Custom Built Homes

Testimonials

"It's tough to imagine that we could have picked a better builder than Christopher Homes. When we decided to build a house, friends and relatives who had done so elsewhere had plenty of warnings for us. Some said: "Be ready for things to go wrong. It's normal to end up with little mistakes that bug you for years." Or: "Get a big loan. You're going to spend 10%-20% more than you expect to." Not true with Steve Christopher. As detail-oriented people, we had many requests, plus some very uncommon ones (from lofts to pull-up bars to a carpeted ceiling). Steve took it all in stride, gave us calmness and confidence when we were overwhelmed, and always charged fairly. If we had five more houses to build (which we don't - we're staying here forever!), we wouldn't spend any time trying to find someone better. We'd hire Christopher Homes every time." -Mason Matthews

"We can highly recommend having a home built by Christopher Homes. The quality of the workmanship was exceptional, it was completed on time, and we are delighted with the result."
-Robert Collins


"After touring a Christopher Homes home, we were convinced of their sincere concern for quality workmanship. Christopher Homes has made our first experience with custom home building a joy! With their extra attention to detail, our home will remain a showplace forever. We highly recommend Christopher Homes whether this is your first or final dream home!"

-Rusty and Rhonda Adams

"Christopher Homes has built two custom homes for us. The first one, on Collinson Drive in Chapel Hill, was built in 1991. This very special house was designed by my father and was very difficult to leave when a career change moved us to Texas. We were lucky enough to return to Chapel Hill several years later and once again decided to build. Our experience was so positive with the first house, we did not even consider other builders for the second. The second house on Pauline Drive, turned out wonderfully in 1998. My wife and I can "doubly" recommend Christopher Homes."
-Mike and Diane Doub

"Since moving to this area I've had 4 homes built for my family. Every time we decide to move into a larger house we always hoped we'd find something for sale on the market, because we dread building a new house. After a thorough research looking for a contractor we decided to use Christopher Homes. Using Christopher Homes to build our new home was a great experience, they actually took the time to listen to the home owners needs. They were very cooperative and easy to get along with. The workmanship is second to none, they build the house as if they were going to move into it and they finished the house ahead of schedule."

-Bruce and Lisa Buckoski

"We recently took on the task of designing and contracting our new custom home. The best decision we made during the whole process was choosing to work with Christopher Homes. The following are just a few examples of the incredible service we received:

  • We knew up front, all the costs and options so that we could decide what features we could afford and what things would have to wait until later.
  • They provided many tips and ideas when it came to the design of our home. Their ideas helped save construction costs and added to our home's function and flow.
  • We were able to do some of the construction simpler tasks ourselves so that we could have extra money for other options.
  • We were encouraged to participate in the whole building process and at no time did we feel like a nuisance.
  • They were happy to answer any questions and resolved all of our concerns in a very fair manner.
  • We were provided with continuous updates on cost, schedules and options.

In summary, these individuals are just plain good people that you can trust to do a timely and professional job of building a home. The only surprise we received was a great custom home that we both love!!! They provide a building experience you certainly won't regret."

"We were pleasantly surprised at how smoothly and unstressful the process was. We highly recommend Christopher Homes."
-Ken Puckett

"The value that Christopher Homes delivers is tremendous. They deliver an excellent product, and are there to help even after you move in, which is definitely not the case with many builders. If we do it again, Christopher Homes would be our first choice."
- Jean and Jim Fletcher

"Probably the saddest day during our house building experience with Christopher Homes was the last day. Working with Steve and company was such a pleasant and rewarding experience we were sad to see the project end (ok, not really - but only because we were ready to move in). Everyone told us that building a custom home would be a very trying experience. It turned out to be so much fun that we'd be willing to do it again if only we weren't so pleased with the final product. Great job Christopher Homes! Thanks!
Even though we share the same last name, we are not related to Steve. During the building process, however, we felt like they were part of the family. We miss our contact with them now that the project is all over. "
-Philip and Caroline Christopher

"My husband and I have spent the entire 10 years of our marriage designing our dream home. We were very concerned about finding a builder with integrity, especially given our reservations about how poorly and quickly neighborhoods are constructed in this area. Without hesitation, we chose the right guys. They made our dream home a reality. They're the most honest people we've met and they stand by their work. Even their subcontractors throughly enjoy working with Steve and everyone at Christopher Homes. The entire building process went smoothly and without stress. To quote a friend, "You're still speaking to your builder?" Absolutely! "
-Sheri and Scott Allen

"Working with Christopher Homes was truly one of the great adventures that Mary Kay and I have shared in our lifetime.  It would be a pleasure to go through another home construction with you but you did such a great job the first time it's not likely to take place.  It would be unjust if we did not note the fairness of your cost estimates and pricing adjustments brought on by our changes to the job scope.  To say that we enjoyed the experience of working with Christopher Homes is truly a simplistic understatement.  Everyone should be lucky enough to have the same good fortune."

"After interviewing multiple custom builders for almost a year, Christopher Homes built our home in 2004.  We had heard the nightmares about building a truly 'custom' home on our own land and experienced none of them.  Steve made the building process an enjoyable one.  He worked with us on multiple changes throughout the process, never 'nickel and dimed' us, and was truly our partner in building our dream home.  If we were ever to build again in the area, there is no doubt we would use Christopher Homes (and recommend them to anyone looking to build.)  They truly are a world-class custom builder."
- Chris and Michelle Widmann
"Christopher Homes built our house like they themselves were going to live in it!  We were on the phone almost every morning with them, talking through the building process and staying informed on costs.  They also provided their valuable advice from years of construction experience.  My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the relationship we had with Steve during our home's construction, and highly recommend Christopher Homes to anyone who is looking for a contractor who takes an honest and hardworking approach to homebuilding."
- Dave and Millie Van Ness
