Fantastic builder and experience. Anyone wanting to build a custom home could not have a better experience with anyone. They were always on time, went out of their way when things needed to be done. Pushed up our move in date be a few weeks to help us get in sooner. House is fantastic, their subs are fantastic can't thing of anything but positive on this home builder. Happy we used them and if we ever had to do a new house again they would be the builder hands down. Kept on our budget and were always available and beyond helpful and professional.
Description of Work: We signed a contract to have our new home built by Canavan and Frank. Construction will not start until the fall. We selected them after working with 4 different builders. Chose them due to experience, how long they have been the area and the quality of their work. At this point with making meetings for us for all segments and working with us all has been wonderful. Will review again after our home is completed.

Our decision to select John Canavan as our custom home builder came eleven years after we purchased a lot in River Chase. We knew that we wanted to retire in Hill Country, but we weren't looking forward to the stress and emotional toll associated with the design and building process. After a thorough canvassing of the area's existing home market, we concluded that if we were to get exactly what we wanted we would have to build. Several years earlier we had watched a custom home being built by John Canavan in the general area of our lot. We were extremely impressed by the design, quality of construction, and homeowner's satisfaction. We arranged a meeting with John and Shawn and once we spent some quality time with them, our builder selection was never in doubt. John exudes competence, experience, and a quiet confidence in his ability to deliver a custom home that meets your financial and physical needs, and is in perfect alignment with your personal tastes. Shawn's administrative skills, including her relentless follow-up and detailed account management, are matchless. Together, they are the perfect combination to get the job done right, on-time, and within budget. John has a special eye for Hill Country home design. Importantly, he has developed a network of architects, engineers, and sub-contractors who, as a result of his leadership, worked seamlessly together to ensure that our home design and its placement on our property were in harmony with one another. John and Shawn are masterful at getting the most from their sub-contractors. They demand perfection and they facilitate the effective coordination of jobsite activities. From a homeowner's perspective, four key factors influenced our builder selection decision: (1) confidence that the project will be completed as designed with minimal surprises, (2) ease of working with one another, (3) personal integrity and trust, and (4) a long list of satisfied clients. In each of these categories, John and Shawn exceeded our expectations in every way. We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our beautiful new home. The building process was as painless as any we have ever experienced and the post project completion follow-up has been amazing.
Description of Work: Built custom home (completed March 2012) and then added backyard entertainment area.
