I used Fairfield Custom Homes for a master bathroom remodel. The bathroom was completely gutted and reimagined. The Project Manager, Jody Lowe, was amazing. The situation wasn't ideal due to personal circumstances, but Jody made me feel at ease and went above and beyond to make sure not only was the bathroom remodel being managed appropriately but that I felt comfortable with the process. Jody was incredibly responsive and kept me up-to-date on when the crew would need access to my home. The crew was always professional and skilled. They used high-quality material, and when barriers presented

Our initial contact with Fairview began in Mid-May2018 on design ideas for our home expansion. Construction began in mid-August and was completed in December on time and in budget. Project managers Michael and Larry were outstanding with their communication and attention to details and punch list. Our extension maintained the integrity of our post and beam home design . We are now enjoying outdoor living as it is meant to be.
