Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Jeremy and Cindy are true gems. They are always working to help and suggest ideas. Monique is a gift. She is so quick to respond and always follows through. Jim Y. is an outstanding human. I will be honest, we went through the entire process with another builder and go out to the contacts stage and it still was not what we wanted. Jim listens to everything we asked for and did it. He added his two cents to top things off and make it that much better. I feel like he has a forever friend.

Old World met our expectations as well was very great to work with. The sales process was amazing, we met with the perfect interior designer to help make all of our selections less painful, and the job was done more than fast enough. I came in with a budget and we hit it where we wanted too with Jim (our sales person). I highly recommend old world because it was a no head ache build, we hit budget correctly, interior designer helping with every single selection, and Home was finished quickly in 6 months. Another builder quoted almost 15-20% higher for same project and was super disorganized. The companies I checked out prior gave me a migraine before we even had a final number. Old World uses a selection app where you can follow daily tasks that are occurring, your current selections, as well as see photos if you’re not local. It also has a time line and once the task is complete it checks it off completed. I would highly recommend old World to anyone who does not want the head ache of building, disorganization, and surprises of being over charged for surprises.

Professional & Organized

Construction Quality

Construction Quality - I can't say enough nice things about everyone who I have met working on the house. Everyone has been very nice and professional and the few times I have showed up on the work site they have been quick to show me the progress and answer questions. The finishes look high end.

Options

Options - OWC really does go out of their way to stay current with all of the new trends and to work with clients on projects to add uniques touches to their homes. I think this is really challenging to do in an age where there are SO MANY options. I also felt like they did a really nice job discussing various budget friendly options which I especially appreciated. I had to stop watching HGTV months ago so I would change my mind on my selections:-)

The Entire Staff at Old World is Great. Good quality and craftsmanship, has become hard to find, but with Old World you get both!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - They helped me achieve my goal of a one of a kind house, from reusing items from the old house to adding great design advice (Cindy).

To sum up our experience, and after having lived in our home for over a year, we would build with OWC again (if we didn't love our home so much!).

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The ability to customize any part of our home. OWC was open to different ideas and had the knowledge to implement anything we thought of, often coming up with even better ideas than we had.
