Our house project started with a drawing of the house I wanted and they turned it into reality. It…read morewas surreal stepping into the house I sketched the previous year and seeing it just as I had imagined it. There were no major issues to take care of when we did our final walkthrough and they were very quick about fixing any of the minor issues we picked out. Other companies we approached for our custom project were all cost plus builders and started out at much higher rates than G.J. Gardner. We also looked into a few other fixed cost builders for the project but they were either not willing to do a custom home or did not seem to have an understanding for the mountain home design we were trying to achieve. I don't think I will ever need another home, but if I did, I would go with G.J. Gardner again.

1.) MAJOR Theft/Safety/Security Issues with Markel Homes Employees…read more * Safety Concern #1: A gun was stolen from my home after Markel Homes Employees and/or Contractors accessed my property (after closing) to complete repair work warranty work items. The gun was subsequently "magically" returned after I filed a police report and emailed Markel Homes employees (only), alerting them to the theft. There are further details regarding Markel employees' access to my home after closing and other information that I am leaving out for brevity's sake. * Safety Concern #2: Myself and at least 3 other witnesses confirmed that Markel contractors were seen drinking on the job throughout the day (as early as 11am) on multiple days. Markel Homes maintains they take *strict* security and safety measures, however Jason Markel and other Markel employees were completely unaware of this happening. * I installed a security system and cameras at my home after these two unsettling incidents. One video clearly shows contractors come to my home, looking around, and leaving after they noticed the doorbell camera. I provided this video to Jason Markel and he could not provide a reasonable explanation for why his contractors were on my property, only that he agreed it was of concern. The workers were working at a different house down the street and I have a "Private Owner" sign in front to make it obvious that the residence is occupied. * Despite having video evidence and a stolen (and returned) firearm, Markel refused to take ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHATSOEVER for their employees or do anything to anything to make it right. Markel took the position that I've "already received enough 'concessions' when {I} originally negotiated the purchase of the house," which obviously has zero relation to these current issues beyond illustrating that they pay little if any regard to their customers once they have their money in hand. 2.) Warranty Items and Repairs Remain Incomplete 6 Months After Closing (as of the date of this review). * We closed on 9-24-2019, and Markel has completed only ONE of the many warranty/punch list items they "promised" to complete. I have contacted Markel *and* the warranty company no less than 10 times (if not more), and typically receive a response with an excuse for why they are unable to complete the repair at this time OR they send someone to complete the repairs, however the "completed" items have turned out as bad or worse than the item was to begin with. 3.) Sloppy, Rushed, and Cavalier Work. * Countless instances of sloppy, sub-par work (see photos for just a few examples). Photos were taken of the house at 4 months old, lest you think the work looks as though it's several years old. 4.) General attitude of unhelpfulness and condescension throughout the company. * Markel does an excellent job at making you think *you* are the problem, not their slapdash, careless workmanship or fraudulent employees. It was my understanding that, in the past, Markel Homes has been a quality builder, however, with their entrance into the non-custom home market, it is clear they have very little to offer clients but a "take it or leave it" approach to home building and a reflexive "No."

On closing day all the issues pilled in. We signed our closing documents while items were being fixed. So my biggest gripe is the hassle if getting things done first couple of months. It's a fight for everything. We still have a damage garage, roof, gutter since we moved in not fixed. The dish washer Lennar selected for our house steams right into the granite and drips on the floor. Our entire kitchen floor has water damage. Their (Lennar)solution is to put a mat or a bucket below when running the dishwasher. All the closets were not anchored down. One master closet already came down. Brad nails holding it down.

From our first meeting,…read morehe provided invaluable guidance on which upgrades would maximize our home's value, and their recommendations proved to be spot-on. Their deep knowledge of real estate nuances and the Denver market was evident throughout the entire process. They understood exactly what buyers in our area were looking for and how to position our home competitively. This expertise gave us confidence they were a great partner for selling out home. Jeff and his team were extremely communicative and responsive throughout the process - always available to answer questions and kept us informed every step of the way. Their professionalism and expertise made the process very smooth If you're looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Jeff and the team at Hatch. They're knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in getting the best results for their clients.

Jeff and his team are phenomenal. I originally found him through Reddit recommendations for…read moreDenver-area realtors, and after reaching out, he scheduled a call with me the very next day. I shared what I was looking for, and he quickly lined up several homes in my price range. He also showed me one slightly above my initial budget -- and it ended up being the perfect fit. After running the numbers, I decided to move forward. Jeff happened to represent both the buyer and seller, and even in that dual‑agency situation, he remained completely fair and transparent. I genuinely felt he worked to make the deal a win for both sides. About five months after closing, I ran into Jeff at a park. When I mentioned a few small issues I'd run into, he immediately stepped up to help resolve them -- long after his job was technically done. That level of follow‑through is rare. Jeff is the kind of realtor who helps you find your dream home and continues to support you well after the sale. I can't recommend him and his team highly enough. Truly 11/10.

We first hired him back when he was known as "Steve Beam Handyman," and it's been amazing to see him grow and expand his services with the launch of Denver Remodels Inc. Over the years, Steve and his team have tackled everything from small repairs (like anchoring heavy drapery hardware into our finicky plaster walls) to major renovations (like restoring the exterior of our 1908 Craftsman). One of our favorite projects was transforming our mudroom by removing a wall and building a custom breakfast nook. This was a complex project, but Steve's expertise and creativity shone through. He even suggested a design element in the booth walls that perfectly complemented the Craftsman lines of our home - it's those little details that make a huge difference. What we think truly sets Steve apart is his incredible craftsmanship, creativity, and his consultative approach. He takes the time to truly understand your vision and offers expert guidance throughout the design process. Whether you're tackling a small project or a major renovation, Steve's deep knowledge and experience are on display with every project he does. He's always there to answer questions, offer suggestions, and steer you in the right direction, ensuring that the final result is even better than you imagined. His team is equally fantastic - professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled. If you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and truly exceptional remodeling experience in Denver, look no further than Steve Beam and Denver Remodels Inc. They're a standout and I'm so glad we found them.
