Kirk Chapman is a local builder who creates custom and extremely well made homes. He has a high reputation in Southern Oregon. We bought a new construction spec home from him. We did not know anything about him initially so we asked around. We could not find one bad review: not from multiple real estate agents, our mortgage company, other local builders, the guy who put in our blinds, and many long-term residents of Grants Pass including neighbors who are also pleased with his work. My father, who did professional construction in the past was very impressed as well. They all said you cannot go wrong; he builds really good homes. His homes even appraise higher for the quality (according to our loan consultant). Everyone I spoke with mentioned that he cares about the community and his reputation for providing exceptional service and quality homes. He cares so much about his reputation that he would never cut corners or rip someone off. This was the smoothest buying process we have ever had!
When we called the company to inquire about a house for sale, Kirk answered the phone - it was refreshing to find someone local and personable. We were able to talk straight to the builder and have everything about the home explained to us first hand. The quality and workmanship shows: we are SO happy we bought from him. The finishings/trim work is impressive, the insulation is well above average, custom cabinetry, fixtures, and even the appliances are great (not low-end like tract homes that are going up). There is nothing generic about his homes - the detail he puts into his work is custom and done right. If there is ever a problem with anything or questions we can call him directly and he takes care of it himself.
Although this is a review about his construction company and not his rental business, he does also rent some of the homes he has built. I don't know anything first hand, but he has a great reputation in the community and a close friend of mine that actually rents from him said he is "great to rent from."
We cannot say enough and are VERY thankful we were able to buy a Kirk Chapman home. read more
