Expertise - Marlin Hochstetler was critical to our final design, execution and enjoyment of building our custom home. Marlin is the type of asset that any home builder would be lucky to have.

There are many builders out there and I would encourage anyone looking to build to sit down with Jim and see what he comes up with.

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 - Builder trend is great and organized.
Schedule - We finished at the 6 month mark and could of been done a few weeks prior if it wasn’t for the windows with pella- we are very happy with move in date.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I was most satisfied with the quality of the construction. They were also timely and willing to work with us on a few changes we decided to make.
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 - 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 - 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 - 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. We also appreciated that they had a designer on staff who could help us align our ideas of our home with reality. Everyone at OWC was able to help us create the home we were looking to build.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I was most satisfied with the quality of the work and the adherence of the schedule.
I highly recommend Old World Classics and Andrew. This builder is highly professional and builds an awesome house. We have built 4 houses and this BY FAR was our best experience. I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and his company.
Employee / Contractor Satisfaction - The tile guys (sorry I don't remember his name - really tall) was amazing. Super nice! and did an outstanding job!The heating/cooling company has been great. We had some issues with our thermostats and the balancing. They have come out several times - to make sure that it was correct.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Very flexible, worked well with our requests. Very open lines of communications. Hit the timelines.
Areas Of Satisfaction - We were most satisfied with the house. We love the look, the finishing touches, and the flexibility we had to make it ours.

Doc and Lincoln they were phenomenal; they were the handymen. They were accommodating, courteous and did quality work. They always cleaned up and we could trust them. They were truly professional.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I was most satisfied with the quality, the construction, and the timeliness they did it in.
