Services
Two of the biggest steps in building your dream home are financing your dream and selling your current home. These are our business partners of choice for financing and realty. We can't express enough how thankful we are to have had Aspen build our home. The Aspen team gave us what felt like undivided attention from the very first meeting, spending several hours with us addressing concerns and calming our nerves prior to us even choosing them as our builder.From that point on, we knew this was the group we wanted to work with.

We built our house last year with Aspen and could not be happier! We have heard and seen so many horror stories of how difficult it is to build a house. At the end of the process, it is clear that those individuals did not use Aspen. Bob and Michelle have this down to a science, and the upfront specs could not be anymore straight forward. There were no surprises or gotchas throughout the process.
From when we signed the papers, to the end of our warranty, everything was clear and provided upfront. They were honest in explaining the process and where we could fall into overages. Their experience was extremely valuable to the first time home builder. The actual process of building and making selections was extremely enjoyable. Rachel was the biggest asset to the process.
She was very organized and upfront during the selection process. We were never overwhelmed or in the dark about what we needed to do as she was with us the whole time. She provided great recommendations based off of our style. Additionally, we did not have to store anything at our house, as she takes cares of transport from the vendor to the house for installation.
What also added to the ease, was the experience that Aspen has in home building. Almost every selection we made, we were able to see it used in another house. While our house is 100% unique to us, we were able to gain a better visual of what it would look like by seeing other houses that had used similar material. A major plus to the process was Aspen's use of the app Builder Trend.
In this app, we could see the schedule for our our house, review our selections, and sign off on any overages or change requests. We knew exactly what our running total was for the house and were able to make meaningful trips to the property knowing what work had been done. This schedule and communication tool was essential when selling our house and ensuring we would only needed to move once. Again, it also prevented any "gotchas" on cost.
We could not be happier with the quality of the house. We have used our warranty in a couple of areas - caulking, cabinet door reinstall, and a basement door reinstall. While we would all love to have a perfect house, building a house is a mammoth project and the 1 year warranty is to ensure things are resolved that may have been missed. The team was quick to respond and corrected all issues. Joe is an amazing "touch up" guy and treats every project as if he is working on his own house.
Building a house is supposed to be extremely stressful. When we finished with Aspen, we asked if we could do it again, because it was that much fun. Outside of a major change request that we decided during building, we were barely over initial budget, while hitting the initial date for completion. We felt like we had great visibility into the project and couldn't be happier with the selections and the quality.
While this is most likely a forever home for us, if we ever decide to build again, Aspen will be the builder of choice. We highly recommend all of our friends to use them. We have had friends that have not taken our advice in the past year, and they admittedly regret it. Aspen is a safe bet for any family looking to build.

My wife and I built our home with Aspen and it couldn't have went better. From the initial meetings with Bob to select price, location and design to working with the designer Rachel who made a complicated process very smooth and easy. We would definitely build with Aspen again should the opportunity arise

We had an issue with our shower leaking right away after we moved in. Bob Benes from Aspen would not stand behind their work and pushed it off on the company he used at the time for the shower install. Needless to say its been 10 years the shower still leaks and now we have major water damage. The shower needs completely torn out and redone. Bob still won't help out and we wouldn't recommend anyone to use them to build the house of their dreams, as he promotes on his web site.

I loved building with Aspen builders and would do it again! It was all and all a great experience! From sitting down with Bob and figuring out what plan I wanted to build, having Rachel at all the meetings to help the interior design process, Mitch and Chris coordinating and making sure everything was going smoothly with all the quality sub contractors they use, and Joe coming in at the end to do the final touch ups! If you're interested in building a home you can't go wrong with Aspen Builders!

Building a custom home with Aspen far exceeded our expectations. Bob spent hours helping us create the floor plan that fit our needs. Their interior designer, Rachel - outstanding! She really made the interior selections process seamless for us. The entire staff at Aspen ensures your wants and needs are a priority - we definitely recommend building with Aspen!

We loved working with Aspen Builders! From the very first time we met with them, we knew they had our business and we didn't need to look anywhere else. All of the work Aspen put into our house is everything we wanted and more. From helping us find the perfect lot to fit our needs to helping us with interior selections to still helping answer 'house' questions for us two years after our build was finished - Aspen's staff, expertise and quality really set the bar high!
