Testimonials

Jone Zieren

After doing some research online for a builder, and looking for a VA friendly company, the name Drake Homes kept showing up. It was the best call I ever made! The whole team has been wonderful, from pre-planning, planning, financing to the final design, the process has been made much easier with Drake Homes. Bill has been great in listening to what we wanted and getting us there. Then there is our designer, Avery, who is awesome! Great ideas and much help in getting me out of a rut and trying new things! Many thanks to this great family owned company. We cannot wait until our home is finished!

Our relationships with those associated with DRAKE HOMES could not have been any better. DRAKE HOMES continue to have the wonderful reputation they deserve and have had for so many years. Building a new home (as we have done) should be fun and working with their professional teams took away ALL worries. They actually welcome any questions you may have, encourage site visits, and make themselves available to you at any time. Avery guided us with all the décor choices, making it both enjoyable and easy. She has such a "good eye" for beautiful choices. Bill was there with such smart floor planning and over-seeing their stellar building teams. All in all. we could not recommend builders better than DRAKE HOMES. They truly are the best!

Choosing Drake homes to help us build our Forever Dream home was definitely the right choice! The team helps you from start to finish with all the details from finding a plan to build in your price range to all the fun interior designs. Our home is built Very well and it was done in less than 6 months. We were able to have FUN during this amazing time in our lives because not only of their incredible knowledge of building but they made us feel like part of the family. We weren't just a customer we became friends! Thank you Drake Homes!

I do not think that there is any builder in the area; that can take you from start to finish with any more hands on advice on design,materials,color/trends,and most importantly quality subcontractors. We have enjoyed this process thanks to Bill,Mary,Avery,Sara Chris and all their contacts. If you want the best around. Drake Homes should be Your choice!

Drake Homes has been one of the highest quality builders I have ever had the pleasure of working with. From Avery Drake's commitment to the customer and help co-ordinating selections, to the quality sub-contractors actually building the house, to quality control and attention of the finish crew, there is not a better home built anywhere by anyone else.

Drake Homes NAILED our remodel of our business. Avery was always available for consultation and ideas (which are amazing). The entire Drake Homes team is professional, knowledgeable, and super talented! Not a single day goes by that a customer walks in with their jaw completely dropped at the new store. We couldn't have done it without Avery, Chris, Mary, and Steve at Drake Homes!

Our experience with Drake Homes has been one amazing ride and true professionalism, from our first meeting clear thru to our walk thru. We took parts of a floor plan from a newspaper clipping several years old and incorporated some floor plans from two other house layouts. The "Drake Team" put all of these ideas, concepts, and plans together and designed our new beautiful and amazing home!!! Each contractor, individual, or team member were professionals at their trade, quality work and always willing to answer any questions we might have.
Steve, Mary, Avery, Ryan, Sarah, and Alex have made our house building experience easier and truly enjoyable!! We don't only have a new beautiful home, but have new friends.
