We are very happy with the design, and we loved how we could make so many decisions along the way.
3.5 Stars in general...
The workmanship is good.
Poor in design of interior feature. Not enough electric outlet in some rooms/areas. Misaligned light fixture. I bought a spec home. Was not allow to make much customization even though I signed before drywall was installed.
Silverthorne builds cookie cutter house. Not sure what distinguish Silverthorne from the average builder.
All of the people we have dealt with thus far at Silverthorne have been top notch!
We have worked with several different builders in the past to build new homes, but working with Silverthorne Home Builders has been our best experience ever!
When they say get EVERYTHING in writing, do just that!
While the home was expertly made, there are some things that weren't up to my expectations that give me pause. Specifically, I will tell any interested buyer/buildee to have very specific ideas and go through the build with those ideas in mind. Additionally, despite the warranty phase of my post-build, I feel that finishing touches could have been offered as a service. There are things I never had time to complete before our move-in: mirrors, shower doors, appliance installation, towel racks, toilet paper holders, blinds, curtain rods. These little details add up to big headaches if they're not done soon after closing. A finishing touch coordinator and an option on the portal would have saved me a lot of time, headache, etc. Even if Silverthorne doesn't want to involve itself with these finishing touches, then a list of qualified handymen/contractor for referral would've helped save time/frustration too. Overall, the home feels/appears well done. I'm happy to be in the home.
Not sure if I would recommend based on limited home building experience.
With reservations
Silverthorne has been a great builder to work with. I have have built a home with a national builder and by far, Silverthorne is a better builder. They have been very professional and knowledgeable about building process. Kept me alert of anything they need from me through their Customer Portal. They allowed you to customize the floor plan more than any other national builder. I would highly recommend as well as use them again when I decide to build again.
To date, we have been very happy with the process of building a home with Silverthorne.
Building has not begun, so it is the very early stages at this point, and I haven't met the actual builder.
I have already recommended Silverthorne Home Builders!

Professional & Organized - To the point of the project we are in everyone has been professional and organized.
Value - Building a home is an expensive endeavor. Having realistic expectations for your budget and what you want is important to the value question. For us, we feel we are getting what we want at a good value. We haven't felt like we have had to settle for less than what we wanted due to price.
Easier Than Expected - As easy as the process has been I have had to ask Jim a few times if it always goes this quickly and easily. We haven't felt rushed.

Lead Source - We saw them online. I think it was Facebook.
It's a quality build at an affordable price.

Additional Comments - Overall, I am very pleased with Silverthorne. There were some delays early in the process that weren't communicated as well as my wife and I would've liked. However, now that building has actually begun, they are much more openly communicating status of the project.
I'm pleased with the body of work that has been done. I was pleasantly surprised the owner Jim Work, responded to several messages inside the Portal. From start to finish I've been impressed with Silverthorne's professionalism. I would highly recommend Silverthorne to my friends and family.

Great design ideas and trouble free coordination of all the details. Great choice if you need a professional turnkey job and don't have time for the trouble of do it yourself planning.
Our representative Soraya was wonderful and did a great job bringing our vision for the bathroom to life.
We are very pleased with the numerous closets that Inspired Closets has designed for us. We are happy with the function, quality, and the fact that they worked within our budget.
