We moved into our Silverton custom built home in June of 2018 and we are so happy with our…read morebeautiful house! We purchased a lot in Jonestown because we fell in love with the area, but due to the rocky and steep terrain on the site, I was concerned about how we were going to build a home.
We saw Silverton as we were driving through Jonestown and decided to stop into their office. From the point of our initial discussion, we were so happy that we had decided to stop by. We had considered several options for building, including working separately with an architect and then having a builder build the home, as well as considered being an "owner builder" and contracting ourselves. From both a financial and practical perspective, I am so happy we decided to choose Silverton.
Silverton brings so much value to the table by being experienced with the difficult terrain in hill country, as well as having long relationships with many of the contractors in the area. Additionally, they had their own architect who was very easy to work with and less expensive than the architecture Firm we considered to design our home.
The owner, Mike, and our site lead Lee were so easy to work with, and I truly enjoyed every meeting we had. It was easy to communicate during the entire process, we could get a hold of anyone in the office very easily, and calls, emails and texts were all responded to promptly. They were transparent about pricing and budget, and the only budget variance we had was one that they had made very clear from the beginning was a potential overrun item (we had a difficult site for septic).
We had three design meetings for the home, and the recommendations provided by Silverton were excellent. The designers know where to provide recommendations, had excellent suggestions, and knew exactly which design points we needed to spend a lot of time on. We are constantly remarking on how glad we are that they had us carefully examine our wall paint colors in every possible light :)
I continue to be impressed with the diligence Silverton provided in building the home. There is clear quality in all aspects of the house, even tiny details such as the built in shelving in my office, edging on tiles, and high quality cabinet work. As we live in the home we are constantly noticing the tiny details that were done extremely well.
As we have lived in the home some minor items came to light that needed to be fixed or adjusted, and Silverton promptly coordinated with the contractors. This after-care makes me grateful we chose a custom home builder as opposed to doing "owner builder" and having to try to coordinate with each individual contractor ourselves.
Obviously, we enjoyed our experience with Silverton and have recommended them frequently for anyone looking to build a custom home in this area!
