‘I would build with Absolute Homes again in a heartbeat!’

“I’m one of Absolute Homes’ clients, having owned a house that Chris and his team built. I like perfection and a point of difference with anything I do. In my house I found both. Everyone loved the layout, the design, and the high quality and thoughtful finish.

“After moving in, Chris maintained contact, which I found a sign of his desire to please the customer and back up his great product. I would build with Absolute Homes again in a heartbeat! It was one of those great experiences in life. AND I am, as I said, hard to please.”
