I have taken a long time to write this review because I couldn't figure out how to everyone what a positive experience we had with Bartlett Builders. To try and briefly describe our experience would be to say: We found land we wanted to build a home, found Bartlett Builders through Angie's list and began speaking with them about how and if we could build a nice home while staying within our budget. Byron (owner) got us in contact with a surveyor and architect. We put a contract on the land. We found that we could build within our price range and were about to close on the land when the landowner passed away and the property instantly came off the market. We were a little shocked as we had been very excited about our beautiful new home we had planned on. So to write a review for a home builder who never actually built us a home --that's tough. I want to be as honest as possible here and not tell you Bartlett Builders would do a perfect job if I have not worked with them to completion. But I can honestly tell you about the experiences I have had. First off, very professional. Byron was respectful and treated our time as if it was just as valuable as his. He returned emails and phone calls promptly. He met with me at my convenience (we were traveling in from out of state to have meetings with him.) He gave us all the time we needed and didn't rush us. We stressed to him that we had a budget and that if we couldn't stay within the budget we would not build a house. He told us very honestly what things push up the price, how to save money without cutting corners, and what people want when we resale. He gave us, what we felt like was a fair price for the home he was building. He builds energy efficient homes, which I didn't care too much about, but it made me comfortable knowing we were getting a high quality product. I'm trying to keep this short, so to sum it up, I felt he was honest with us the entire time, and from seeing other homes he build, the quality would be high. If it works out for us to build a house in the future, I would not hesitate to call Bartlett Builders (and only Bartlett Builders) to do the job. I am confident in their integrity and ability.
Description of Work: Worked with my husband and I for over two months while we were out of state to design a home that would be energy efficient and in our price range with the intent to build the home. At the last moment our planing stopped when we found out we would not be able to purchase the land we wanted to build on. All of us were disapointed we would no longer be needing services from Bartlett Builders.

To say that we have been pleased with the results and the process would be an understatement. Byron was able to come in under budget on his portion of the project. And, the pleasure of working with Byron extended beyond the initial relationship. His reputation within the building community is such that we were frequently able to use his name and receive his discounts on multiple occasions. If you are looking to have someone build your home for you, start to finish; Byron would be more than capable hands. But, if you are looking for a partner to help you build your dream home, you cannot find a more invested, honest, and respectable builder than Byron Bartlett of Bartlett Builders & Construction Services.
Description of Work: We were referred to Byron through our architect to help build our home. As this was our first time building a home, we were unfamiliar with many of the processes. Byron was able to talk us through everything. Since my husband and I consider ourselves to be ‘handy people,’ we were interested in completing a portion of the home ourselves. Byron was comfortable with this and we developed an arrangement that was suitable for all involved. Byron was able to take care of the larger portions of the project, including foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and drywall, while we were able to go in after and complete the finish work, like flooring, painting, trim and landscaping. This arrangement allowed us to feel more involved in the process and have greater ownership of our home, while having a certified builder take care of the important things that we would have been ‘in over our heads’ with. We were involved with the selection of all elements of our home, with Byron letting us choose how involved we wanted to be. He managed the subcontractors for us, allowing us to guide the process from afar when necessary. We sat down several times with Byron before beginning our home, and he laid out a plan including budget. We did not begin until both sides felt comfortable with the plan we had created. And it’s a good thing we did, because once we hit the ground, we didn’t stop! We broke ground October 31, 2008 and moved in April 25, 2009 – just under six months.
