They have built 2 homes for me.
Working with Watermark to build our dream home was a great experience from beginning to end. They had our full trust and we were always comfortable that they put our best interests first. Building a new home from over one thousand miles away takes a good partnership and great communication. We are so pleased with our new home, I wouldn't change a thing!
We are so pleased with our new home and the experience of working with Gooding.
Despite the problems associated with Covid shortages the planning of our home went smoothly. Allen made sure our home was everything we wanted and more. There is no equal to a Patterson built home.
I came under budget which is huge in an expensive build. Allen Patterson builders do quality and excellent work. I’d highly recommend them over other builders in Habersham.
Gooding and the architect were very responsive and accommodating in the design of the house, incorporating our wish list of features and working with a tight building lot. The quality of construction and the outcome of the project are satisfying. We very quickly felt like our new house was home. Our primary concerns are in the areas of establishing reasonable allowances and communicating the same; being open and flexible in terms of doing things other than “the way we’ve always done it;” and feeling some sense of urgency in project schedule.
Building our dream home with WaterMark Coastal Homes was exceptional from start to finish. The design process was easy for us as we tweaked their timeless house plans of the River Place Cottage. Jeff Thomas worked with us to adapt the design for our space and decorating needs. Marc Hayward was on site every day dealing with the planning and construction of the house, garage and golf cart structure. Marc’s attention to detail and his hands-on style was truly evident in the finished product. My husband and I felt comfortable knowing WaterMark would use quality materials and reliable and professional subcontractors. I can truly say, our dream home exceeded our expectations.
The home still has not been completely finished and we're tired of the brick wall when we try to get communication from team.
I would recommend APB to friends. I would advise them on areas to stay on top of including communications, build supervision and timeline expectations.
Josh Brant was onsite every day, paid meticulous attention to detail, has great subcontractors and close working relationships with them, and just does an outstanding job. I can’t recommend him enough.
Brant Construction listens to the customer, delivers a quality product and customer experience.
Overall, we were very pleased with our experience with Artisan. However, there were a few significant issues, which I will note below.
Watermark is an exceptional home building company - Jeff and Marc are well organized, professional and a pleasure to work with. We could not be more pleased with the quality of our new home.
My experience was top notch. The home Artisan built completely met our expectations and then some!
Our experience with Brant Construction was excellent: generous, thorough, and timely. Brant Construction paid great attention to our project and showed diligence throughout. We are very satisfied with the results.
While we recognize that Artisan has been impacted like everyone else by supply chain and labor issues, we felt their performance has be less than satisfactory. Communication, both internally between team members, and with us as a client has been very disappointing. Oversight of the work performed by their subcontractors (quality control) has also been poor, resulting in eight pages of punch list items at closing. Artisan's ability to address these unfinished or poorly executed items has also been disappointing. Three months after closing we're still waiting on a long list of repairs to be made, to the point where we've had to start contracting work out ourselves to get it done.
Overall we are very pleased with our new home!
I would recommend they verify the subs and project management ahead of time.
They were a marvelous builder.
We love the Artisan-designed features of our home and we believe the home is well built. Centerpoint is a disappointment as a vendor regarding quality of cabinets, installation, and response time. It also felt throughout the process that communication among Artisan employees was not good.
staff is always ready to help but sometimes seem very very busy so small issues or questions get extended
Overall, and with the many changes, I would recommend anyone to Artisan.This building process has taken longer than anyone anticipated mainly due to vendor materials, delays and changes within the company. I know Artisan takes great pride in their homes and it is reflected in my home.
I can’t say enough good things about my experience building with Gooding Contractors. They were wonderful to work with: responsive, flexible, accommodating, knowledgeable and I trusted them completely. Every detail of the workmanship on the house is exceptional quality, as is the design. I was able to modify the original plan a bit to accommodate my needs, and the architect and Gooding did a great job of accomplishing those changes. I had only a few minor items when we did the punch list, and have found only a few minor issues since moving into the house. I would never have had the guts to build a new house at this stage in my life if I hadn’t been working with Gooding! And, I should add, I was building right in the middle of the huge supply delays and shortage of skilled crafts people caused by Covid-19 and other global problems.
Project poorly managed, mistakes made constantly
WaterMark builds a high quality home and we’re pleasant to deal with!
