I just want to start off by saying our experience with Pietsch Builders was nothing like the other review posted here. My wife and I built with Doug in late 2017. The whole planning process was very well scheduled, professional and easy. Working with Doug, Karla, Jon and Kristina through the planning process was really nice. They were very knowledgeable and fun to work with.
Many of our friends who had built with other builders like Keyland, DR Horton, Country Joe and Lennar warned us that the process is very frustrating, it will likely take longer than you think and you should plan to spend about 10-15% more than what you initially budgeted (due to upgrades and issues/changes that come up during construction).
My wife and I were prepared for the worst but I actually really enjoyed the whole process. Doug, Karla, Kristina and Jon were in constant contact with us throughout the build, providing updates on progress and timelines. They were very professional. We were able to save a little money by providing a lot of our own selections (faucets, light fixtures, toilets, sinks - that kind of thing) that we purchased from Menards, Lowes or Home Depot. When construction was coming to a close Jon kept us updated almost on a daily basis. When we did the final walk through Jon helped identify any problem areas that needed to be touched up: paint, tile, flooring etc. There were no complaints about how picky we were being, in fact I think Jon was probably more picky than I was in identifying flaws and having them fixed immediately.
In the end the house came out looking beautiful! My wife and I couldn't be happier. The craftsmanship of the contractors they select is impressive! Of the other model homes we toured the Pietsch homes were by far the best. Their attention to detail surpasses all of the other builders we visited. We built the home we plan to live in for the next 30 years so I likely won't get to build another Pietsch home but I am recommending them to all of my friends that are interested in building. read more
