Ironwood Testimonials -

1. I have built two homes with two separate builders prior to our Ironwood Builders' Home. Both of the previous experiences were tainted with hidden costs, overcharges, and lack of follow-up for defects in the homes. For these reasons I had reservations about a third attempt with a third builder. Our experience with Joe and Roger was completely different. Our experience was very pleasant, the progress right on time, no hidden charges: on budget all the way and the quality of our home second to none. In fact our Ironwood home is better than a home we had built a few years ago for a five-fold higher price. To Joe and Roger, I am grateful to have found two very honest, hard-working individuals who to this day 6 months after completion of our home, have promptly (and with kindness), responded to every need we have had with our new home. Thank you Joe and Roger for being the best builders we have worked with in Lincoln.

2. Having to move from the warmth of south Florida back to Lincoln and try and find a home, the whole house finding process can prove daunting. Spending a week back in Nebraska, my wife and I toured a multitude of homes in the Lincoln area. With each house we visited, we began to have a little more despair that we would not be able to find a house that we could call "home" for us and our two boys. Finally, our realtor showed us a house under construction that was being built by Roger and Joe. Although still early within the construction phase, we toured a similar home that was completed a year prior for the Tour of Homes. Upon walking into this house, both my wife and I fell in love with the house. It became immediately obvious that both Joe and Roger build homes which are not your standard "cookie-cutter" homes. The details within the design and the quality materials they use lend distinction to the project. Furthermore, since our house was still early within the construction phase, we were able to make some minor changes to the plan. Both Roger and Joe were extremely open and helpful and courteous throughout this entire process, and we cannot be happier with the final result. These builders truly make homes, not just houses. In the future, as our needs changes, I would not hesitate to use Ironwood Builders for our next "home."

3. My husband and I sold our house prior to finding one that we wanted to buy. We ended up moving to a temporary home while still searching for the home of our dreams. After many months we decided that if we wanted a home that matched our style and needs we would need to build a new home. As we started to think about building a house, we immediately thought about Ironwood Builders. We had previously been through several Ironwood houses and loved their style, craftsmanship, and quality. We figured that Ironwood would be out of our price range, but Joe and Roger really encouraged us to let them bid our house design. While the bidding was going on, we took my parents through a couple of Ironwood houses. My dad had recently built his own home and is extremely picky about the quality of products and craftsmanship and knew he would tell us if he felt like Ironwood was a quality company to work with. My dad was very impressed with Joe and Roger's work, their answers to his MANY questions, and their dedication to meeting the needs of their clients. Allowing Ironwood to bid our house plan was the best decision we could have made! Joe and Roger's bid actually came in lower than another bid and we were thrilled that we would be able to work with them on our new home. During the building process Joe and Roger were extremely helpful! They paid close attention to the little details of the project and were receptive to our needs throughout the process. When asked, they provided us with opinions on colors, choices of products, etc., but ultimately allowed us to make decisions that fit our style. They were very good at communicating our needs and wants to subcontractors, as well as allowing us to work directly with subcontractors as need be. They were easy to get a hold of and were responsive to our email questions and phone calls. Joe and Roger's great service did not stop at the closing of our home. Joe and Roger have continued to be responsive to any small common warranty items and have gone above and beyond to make sure we are satisfied with our Ironwood home. We would highly recommend Ironwood Builders to anyone and appreciate all that Joe and Roger have done to build the house of our dreams.

4. I remember the first time we saw an Ironwood Builders sign on a lot, my husband knew that they built a beautiful home. We later found out that the products that are usually an upgrade with other builders came standard with an Ironwood home, which was really appealing to us. That same night we checked out their website and both said "WOW, these homes are just beautiful!" We were able to see that they use all the materials that we wanted to have in our next home. We met with Roger and Joe a year and a half before we were actually able to make the move and build. The timing just wasn't right for our family. When the timing was finally right, we knew we wanted Ironwood to build our house. They really listened to what we wanted and were able to design a floor plan that fit the needs of our family perfectly. After the first couple of conversations with them, we knew that they would build us a beautiful home as well as be first class individuals to work with. I wish I could have said this about the builder who built our previous house. Having peace of mind in knowing we were going to work with honest, caring builders made the decision easier when it came time to sign the purchase papers. We could go on and on with nothing but good things to say about Roger and Joe.... They are two of the nicest guys we have ever met! (And all of their subcontractors too!) And their professionalism I think far surpasses that of other builders. They were always in communication with us, keeping us up to date with what was happening with the house and finished the house on schedule. And they always seemed to be available to answer our phone call when we needed them. We are thrilled to finally have our Ironwood home and it's more beautiful than we could have ever imagined it would be! Our experience could not have been better and we would definitely, definitely build with Roger and Joe again!

5. We've built a number of homes throughout the years, and by far had our most pleasant experience with Joe and Roger with Ironwood Builders. Many times people are hesitant to build a home because they don't want to deal with all of the typical issues and headaches that can come with the process. Building a home with Joe and Roger virtually eliminates all of the concerns you may typically have. They are always available to talk through any questions or concerns you may have, and when issues do arise they aren't afraid to tackle the problem head on and be proactive in offering the solution. It may be too simple of a thought process, but we tend to do business with people that we like and enjoy being around. At the end of the process of building a home, many people don't have many good things to say about their builder. We're happy to say that not only do we have a quality home, but we're most happy to call both Roger and Joe our friends.

6. I love my new home! The process of buying and building a custom home was amazingly easy because I did it with Ironwood Builders! I have heard and read sad stories from people who built homes and seemed to regret their decision to do so every step of the way. My guess is that they may not have properly researched their builders or carefully inspected the builders' homes before signing a contract. I think that getting to know Joe and Roger of Ironwood Builders and seeing their homes gave me the confidence to know they would build a great home for me---and they did! Joe and Roger explained the process, outlined the phases and the due dates for me to make specific decisions, and provided their list of reputable and helpful vendors for me to meet with to make product selections. They were respectful of my budget and throughout the process they explained alternative options with costs to help me stay within the budget. Joe and Roger always answered their phones or returned my calls promptly and they communicated easily and effectively with me through email, as well. I never felt ignored or out-of-the-loop. In fact, Joe even called me to tell me when something exciting was happening so I could be there to see it. Joe and Roger are just good, down-to-earth guys to know and work with. They have integrity and good character. The sub-contractors would even make unsolicited complimentary comments about them to me when I was on the build-site; I know this is high praise because these skilled workers have dealt with all kinds of personality types of many builders. My new neighbors-to-be also told me how happy they were to know that Ironwood Builders would be building my home because they knew the quality of their work. Joe and Roger truly want to do a good job and they really care if their homeowners are happy and they both take personal responsibility to make sure that happens. I recall the day that Joe drove me all over Lincoln to show me lots for sale and because I asked him, he honestly gave me his thoughts on characteristics and features of various neighborhoods and areas so that I could find the best fit for me and my lifestyle. Joe and Roger also both have this great knack of not over-reacting, and not getting too excited about something that may have gone wrong---they take it all in stride. This helped me to stay calm and confident that they would always take care of everything---and they always did. They got to know me well enough to know the style of the interior and exterior that I wanted to have and they respected that. I honestly believe they helped me to get the new home I dreamed of and at the same time they have a home they were proud to build and have their sign in front of. I love my new Ironwood Builders home!

7. I wanted to take the time to extend my appreciation to the wonderful job you both did in constructing my new home. I am extremely pleased with the job Ironwood Builders did on the organization and structure of all the different factors involved with home construction. From the early days when you helped me develop a blueprint for my home, to the final days and details of closing on the house, everything was first rate! Your ability to clearly communicate with me as your client is a great asset to have; one that I know other builders and developers do not possess. I was so thankful that you kept me updated daily and that if I had questions you were prompt in finding the answers and getting back to me quickly. Your honesty and clarity made for a smooth progression of events in getting the house up and finished. There are not enough words to go on paper to explain how comfortable I felt working with you. Ironwood Builders should be proud of their construction and of their honest manner in dealing with clients. You certainly have built a reputation that is well deserved. Thank you Joe and Roger!

8. When we decided to build, we looked at a lot of homes. But when we looked at the homes by Ironwood Builders, we knew when we walked in and met with Roger and Joe that they were the ones to build our home. We loved all the detail, the style, and the pride they take in their homes. We really like the open fireplace & the tile in the bathrooms. They are honest, patient, and you can call them at any time and they are there for you, which is what we were looking for. They will tell you right were you are at on the budget, which is something we needed to know. They are there to make sure you have what you want in your home. We would highly recommend Roger and Joe. We love our new home and we cannot thank them enough for all they have done, and what a pleasure it was working with them. If you have any questions feel free to call us, we would love to tell you about Ironwood Builders.

9. My wife, Linda, and I moved into our new Ironwood home in November, 2008. Joe and Roger believe that the customer should have their home the way they want it and make every effort to accomplish just that. They were extremely cooperative and flexible with us. We are very pleased with the quality that they build into their homes. After living in our home for several months, we decided to add a large family room, bedroom, bathroom and storage areas to our lower level. We were so pleased with Ironwood that we had them do this job also. We feel very fortunate that we chose Ironwood/Joe and Roger as our builder and highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a new home.

10. My wife and I looked for 5 years for the right builder and the right house. Ironwood Builders not only built our Dream Home, they finished on time and right at our projected budget. Roger and Joe are very easy to work with, and we have had many compliments on the house. Great Job!

11. When we first visited an Ironwood open house, we were immediately impressed by the quality and style of the homes that Joe and Roger build. Before starting the building process, we compared Ironwood's homes with those offered by other builders, and none of them could match the value we'd found with Ironwood. We decided to take the leap and build our first new home with Ironwood. Even though we were busy planning our wedding and selling our previous home, the process was amazingly smooth. Joe and Roger patiently answered our questions and helped us create the home we'd always wanted. The minute we moved into our new house, it felt like home. Thank you, Joe and Roger!

12. Buying or building a home is such a big step that no one wants to get it wrong. So like other homebuyers, we took the time to thoroughly search the market. Of all the homes we looked at, those built by Ironwood Builders are the only ones where we found that impressive 'wow' factor. I built a home before, so I dreaded going through the process again. But Ironwood got the floor plan exactly the way we wanted it before we had to make any commitment. The quality of Ironwood's work is superb, as is the work of their subcontractors. I'm also impressed with the quality of the materials they use top-line fixtures, oversize efficient windows, even the floor trusses hide the ductwork (something you never think about until it's too late). Besides pleasing us with the design and construction, we found they're some of the nicest, most honest people to work with. They gave us personal, professional service and always made us feel like our wants and needs came first. I will continue to recommend Ironwood Builders to everyone I know who is building a home. If you'd like an honest opinion or if you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly.

13. We fell in love with Ironwood Builders as soon as we walked in the door of their Parade home. In fact, we weren't even considering building but after seeing their homes, nothing that we had seen in existing construction compared. We had looked at several homes and were not finding something to call home...until we stepped inside the Parade home. We were immediately struck by their modern taste, accommodating approach and their attention to detail. Roger and Joe were by far the best builders I have worked with and this is the 3rd home I have built. They offer incredible features you will not see in other homes for a value that will absolutely surprise you!! Their process defies the perceptions of building a home making it a fun experience. They offer service like nobody else in the industry, before during AND after the sale. We have and will continue to recommend Ironwood Builders to anyone considering a new home in the Lincoln area. They are professional, thorough, courteous, and very easy to work with. Best of all, they build homes, not just houses! We love our new home and thankful to have found Roger and Joe.

14. Having searched for my perfect house for about eight months, I was beginning to lose hope that my "perfect" house was even out there. One day before my deadline to extend a lease or give notice, I walked into a house built by Ironwood, and I immediately knew that it was the house I was supposed to be in. My realtor also knew by my reaction that I was in the "perfect" house for me. The craftsmanship, the colors and fixtures, and the overall attention to detail in this house was just my style and was what made me feel right at home. Before and after purchasing the home, I have been well taken care of by both Roger and Joe. These two gentlemen have a gift in building high quality homes and in providing top notch care to those who purchase one of their beautifully built homes. I trust the work of Ironwood Builders and would recommend them to anyone looking for their "perfect" home. My daughter and I are extremely blessed to have such a beautiful home to come home to at the end of the day and for that we have Ironwood Builders to thank.

15. My husband and I decided to build with Ironwood- and we are very happy with the finished product! After many months of searching for a house with our specifications, we couldn't find what we wanted, and then a friend suggested the Ironwood website. We took a look and knew exactly who we wanted to build our 1st home. Joe and Roger were great to work with. If you are looking for an honest, hardworking and trustworthy builder- Roger and Joe are your best bet. We were able to ask many questions during the building process and pick out the exact specifications and finishes for our home. The upgrades in Ironwood homes are something we'd never seen before, and the quality is impeccable. We would highly suggest Ironwood because they made the dream of our 1st home come true.

16. We moved to Lincoln last year and were interested in building a new house. After touring many homes and meeting with various builders in the area, we decided Ironwood Builders was the best fit for our first new construction home. Their floor plans, decor and extras were unmatched to other builders homes we had toured. Not having built a house before, we were very anxious regarding the timeline and expectations. Joe and Roger set our minds at ease by keeping us constantly updated on the progress of our home. They were always a phone call away if we had any questions. As the closing date arrived and it was time to move, Ironwood was ready and right on schedule. We were moved on the expected date and there were no surprises with Ironwood Builders. Even after the finish date Roger and Joe have kept in contact with us to make sure things are as we had expected. I would recommend Ironwood Builders to anyone interested in building! We had a fantastic experience!
