Absolutely went perfect!! Mike Gaffney and his team were totally engaged with the process and gave us honest input into the design process, made great suggestions and did everything we asked them to do. They were always punctual, professional and delivered the home to us when promised. It was clean and they have maintained constant contact even after the construction!! I can begin to say enough good things about Mike, Robby, Michelle and Ed! The entire Gaffney team is simply the best!! Highly recommend for new construction or any sort of remodel. Their contractors are also professional and always on time!!

He didn't meet our expectations. We have a list of questions to ask all the builders and the funniest one is about how much lumber they return because we didn't want crooked lumber. He was really honest and said they didn't return any and that they put the crooked lumber up in the rafters where you can't see it.
Description of Work: We met with Gaffney Homes to see if we wanted to build a house with them.

Response from Gaffney Homes LLC
I'm sorry that my comment about how we use any crooked material was misunderstood. I'll try to explain more clearly. All lumber that we use for floor, wall, ceiling or roof framing is very much within the tolerances of what is acceptable in the trade. Lumber that isn't acceptable is culled out and is handled several different ways. If it is floor framing that isn't an I joist it is cut up into much shorter pieces and used as headers above windows and doors. The cut lengths are short enough that they are within tolerances for header material. The 2x4 material that we don't use for framing walls can be cut into very short lengths to be used for blocking or for bracing the roof trusses in the attic. A truss is essentially an engineered triangle made of 2x4 or 2x6 material. It's not structurally sound by itself but only as part of the whole "truss package." This package comes with a booklet on how it must be put together and the booklet must be present when the City/County inspection is done. The parts of the truss system that need to be straight are the bottom cord of the truss which is also the ceiling framing to which the sheetrock is attached and the top cords of the truss to which plywood and the roofing material are attached. There is extensive bracing called for in the engineering which enables the trusses to act as a single system. The bracing is used to hold the trusses rigidly in place which gives this system the strength required for our regional requirements for wind and snow loads. There is no aesthetic reason to use perfectly straight lumber to brace the roof trusses as there are no finished surfaces that will be attached to this material. It is the perfect place to use any non-straight material rather than returning it to the lumber yard thus increasing the carbon footprint with two additional deliveries (the first back to the lumber yard to be cut into smaller pieces and the second, sold for a different use to another jobsite). We get an excellent price from our lumber suppliers and I'm sure that the fact that we return very little material gives us a competitive advantage over other builders. I regret that my response to your question was not clear and I hope that this helps you to understand my comment a little better. I am happy to address any other questions that you may have. Sincerely, Mike

Their price was reasonable. They were very personable. The builder came to my house along with the man that was in charge. They both came together to take a look at the project. They came back with a printed estimate which was very organized and they had very nice diagrams of what they were going to do. They came back and explained everything to me and they followed up with e-mails and phone calls to find out if I had any questions. They were excellent. I know that they do a good job because the house that we are living in right now was built by the Gaffney Home and it’s built very nicely. I would definitely consider them for another estimate in the future.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Gaffney Home LLC in June to finish my basement.
