Report
Having built our own home earlier, we possessed a certain hands-on knowledge of the construction of a new home. When we chose Jim Moline to build our home in October 2014, we faced expected natural anxieties that others consumers experience. We were and are greatly pleased. Jim's attention to the smallest detail is evident in so many ways. His subcontractors reflect the same conscientious approach. Carl Gould, as Jim's Brick Mason, is a gift to his craft; his work and expertise is is unparalleled.
From Bob the Plumber through the complex and meticulous finished carpentry of Steve and Bill, and the attentive painting skills of Randy Hauser's team, each sub contractor is extremely competent and proficient. Finally Michelle Thrasher's decorative brilliance and dynamic embellishments transform Deer Valley to a special place. Oh, and of no small importance, our heating and cooling bill have never exceeded $100 per month. We won't build again but if I did, Jim Moline would be our choice!.
