Client Testimonials

We completed our home in 2015 with River Hills Custom Homes and are THRILLED with the outcome! The home is well-constructed and just beautiful. Lee and his team took the time to address all of our needs and concerns, and were very pleasant to work with. While we did encounter a couple of bumps in the road (...every new home construction is bound to have a hiccup!), River Hills was quick to help us mend the problems, and went the extra mile to make sure things were corrected quickly. Jayne was so friendly and easy to work with, too. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! Thank you River Hills...we are looking forward to all the memories to be made in our new home!

We have just begun construction but the process to this point has been impressive. Lee and Eli and the rest of the staff really know there business. They offered exceptional help and suggestions to our customers build. Highly recommended.

Wayne I.

We searched for a builder for a long time. We felt like Eli and Lee understood what we were looking for. They were very knowledgeable and patient. We understand a lot about quality construction and felt like their homes were well built!

Carrie

This is the second time I have used River Hills to build my home, and though I was only able to give them 4 stars the first time, 9 years later they earned 5. From communication, organization and professionalism I was pleased with all. When the unavoidable issues arose, they faced them head on, and always were able to find a way to make things work. The home was finished during covid, and I am nearing my 1 year walk through. I loved that they let me find my own lighting and stood behind the contractors they used. I have heard nightmares about building custom homes, but have not experienced it. If I build a 3rd home, I will be calling River Hills again. Thank you Lee, Eli, Greg, Teresa and more!
