A Passion for Home Building. John and Jeff began their careers in home building more than 30 years ago, patiently learning each craft on the construction site and every step in the process. This dedication and thorough understanding of construction allows for creative innovation – at every step, we look for ways to add improvements to make each home more beautiful and more efficient.
Integrity that’s Unmatched. From our ethics in business to the quality we engineer into every home, integrity is paramount. We carefully select high-quality materials and build integrity in our homes through multiple quality assurance processes -- resulting in award-winning homes that are an outstanding value for our homeowners.
A Commitment to Building Each Family’s Dream. We begin the homebuilding process with a firm foundation: a lasting relationship with the homebuyer. We help each family uncover their needs and desires for their new home, then remain by their sides to guide them through the entire buying and building process. That commitment continues long after the house is complete, thanks to our lifetime warranty. We stand behind our homes forever. Hide

Additional Comments
Additional Comments - We made a number of modifications to the plan with a clear understanding that some would involve additional costs. Ainslie Group was open to our comments, suggestions and requests and it was fastidious in engineering these changes. This modification of the model made the home much more "ours" in its layout and use.

Areas Of Satisfaction
Areas Of Satisfaction - They did not cut corners on the construction and the upgrades. They were willing to customize as needed to meet our requirements. Their attention to the details during construction was excellent. While a couple of smaller items did get missed because they did not get formally documented after agreed to, there were more positive surprises then negative.

Areas Of Satisfaction - Ruby & Jeff were awesome people to work with. They have built us the home of our dreams. We were very, very satisfied with the results of their planning & how well we were treated as buyers.
Lead Source
Lead Source - While we were driving around the area, we stopped in their development & went through the model homes. We were very impressed the the design & quality of the homes we looked at. The office staff was very knowledgeable & helpful in getting us to choose Ainslie Group as our builders.
Customer in Chesapeake, VA
Areas Of Satisfaction
Areas Of Satisfaction - We were a little concerned when issues we raised were slow in being addresses. We understand the builder was short handed initially and did the best he could so we understood the delays. But once help arrived via the checklist man, our concerns were addressed quickly and completely. The bottom line is we couldn't be more pleased with the result. We are happy we have come to know Greg and Lee.
Additional Comments
Additional Comments - Greg Richardson is an exceptional builder. He has wonderful organizational skills. He was willing to embrace our personal vision of a theme home for which we are very thankful. Lee Ogletree was very personable, helpful, and a real go getter. He was fun to work with and gave great guidance on some repairs. Finally, Jeff and Ruby Ainslie were extremely helpful in getting our selections down onto the BSA when time was running out. We feel we wouldn't have a home if they had not been willing to work with Dale for one straight week, everyday that week, last year. We have a top drawer house and couldn't be happier. We also really appreciate the folks we worked with at the Ainslie Group.
