Would absolutely recommend Harding Custom Homes, LLC for your custom home experience!! John and his entire crew are great! They kept constant communication with us throughout the whole process (and it is a process!!), answered any questions we had, made excellent recommendations, and the list goes on. John and his team gave us the best Christmas present we could ask for with our amazing new home! We could not have asked for a better builder to make the home building process as smooth as possible!

Harding Custom Homes built our house over five years ago. The quality of work, high expectations of his trades, and John's honesty have earned him our complete trust. I recommend Harding Custom Homes to everyone I chat with looking for a custom home builder. We are already planning our next project with John and know we will have an equally fantastic experience.

John Harding was recommended to us by a friend and we couldn`t be happier. From the initial meeting to the time we received the keys, it was an enjoyable experience. We felt comfortable and well informed every step of the way. His attention to detail, scheduling and passion for building was impeccable. I would highly recommend Harding Custom Homes to anyone looking for a great builder.

John Harding came recommended to us after a year long search for a high-quality, trustworthy builder. My husband and I could not be happier that we chose to go with Harding Custom Homes. The finished product is beautiful and John did everything he could to make sure we were informed and satisfied throughout the entire process. He made building painless. Watching a few of our friends' less than satisfactory experiences with other local builders, we are always beyond thankful for the experience we had with Harding Custom Homes. Stop looking and just let John build your house-you will not

John was so great to work with and did his best to accommodate everything I wanted in our new home. I can't speak highly enough about the house he built for us and how easy the whole building process was. I wish I could build more houses with him!

We heard about Harding Custom Homes through our church. We needed a contractor who was going to be able to handle remodeling multiple homes. Their staff did a great with their entire construction process.
