We had a very good experience working with Saltwater Homes while building our home last year. Everyone was very professional but also warm and personal and encouraging to us through out the process. Lane was always positive and available to help walk us through the initial processes of obtaining a plan and getting permission from our neighborhood architectural review board which can be very confusing and frustrating to a first time builder. They made it a smooth process for us. I was so impressed with their quick responses to our many questions and concerns - they were so careful to explain all of the pros and cons of the various decisions encountered in building a home. Scott James was our primary project manager, and he was very quick to respond when we contacted him throughout the process. Scott also paid very close attention to even the smallest of details and this really made a difference in the quality of our home. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and satisfied with the various steps along the way. We are so pleased with the final result! I would highly recommend Saltwater Homes to anyone.
