Dear Kip,
We decided to build a retirement home in the country after decades in the city. Although we have owned several houses in the past, this would be our first time building. Our initial contact with Sierra was P. Laree Lewis. Laree influenced our decision to build with Sierra with her thorough explanation of the building process and her tireless effort to help us hone in on our specific needs. Her suggestions regarding kitchen lighting, doorway widths, and many other details that make a house a home were extremely helpful. The fact that she did not laugh at our hand-drawn blueprint was also impressive. We were pleased with the professionalism and helpfulness of the entire design and finance team - Paul Ramos, Joanie Ramser , Shannon Cooke, and Mary Ann Edward. We were especially pleased with our builder, Bart Ullrich. Bart is a true professional as well as a people-person.
He detailed each step of the building process for us and with a sense of humor, addressed all of our issues and questions without missing a beat. We joked that Bart's cell phone number was #1 on our speed-dial, but the fact that he was always available to us is remarkable. His experience shined in his attention to detail. When we decided to change things along the way such as the door to the pantry and the wall in the bathroom, he said "yes, we can" and gave suggestions for how to improve upon these ideas. Our home is in a very remote area, and Bart's excellent managerial skills and the obvious respect of the subcontractors and building crews towards him helped overcome that obstacle and showed through in quality workmanship. The building process was an enjoyable experience thanks to these wonderful professionals and we highly recommend Sierra Classic Custom Homes to anyone considering building a home.
