Pigs, a Wolf and a Gentleman

As you may know, our original builder, Sage Homebuilders, went out of business a few months ago.  Sadly, they did not do so in an elegant fashion.  This ended up costing us lots of time, some money and gave us quite a bit of stress.  But we learned some valuable lessons as we went through the process of cleaning up their mess and finding a new builder.  Builders come in various shapes and sizes.

We've seen a lot of them and I can't help but think of the Three Little Pigs fairy tale.  Our first builder ended up building us a straw house or more accurately, an only-on-paper house.  It never got started, they went out of business and we're left with a pile of paper to clean up.

Another builder wanted to give us a house built out of sticks.  It would look better than the straw house, but that was just a cover-up.  We eventually learned that they weren't so honest in the bidding and building process.  With questionable business practices that house fell down too.

In the meantime the weather is getting colder and various agencies are taking forever to give us needed approvals.  We call these forces the big, bad wolf.  If we're not careful the wolf may blow down any house we try to build.











Then along came a gentleman.  Not part of the original story, but a good additional character.  We have seen his work and talked with previous clients.  No straws, no sticks, just good solid bricks.  This fellow is a true craftsman with a devoted attention to detail.  We view him and his crew as local artisans.  His name is Jason Walters and he owns the company Stylecraft Homes.  His company is small, but mighty.  For a quality custom home seek out Jason, he's not afraid of the big bad wolf.
