As homeowner Brett Rains shared:

“We loved building with Ashlar Homes. These guys were clean, skilled, and professional. Every part of the process was organized and fun! They do a great job of walking you through options and helping make your home exactly what you want. We only had a couple of small warranty issues, and they were fixed within a week! Their designs are beautiful and practical, and their houses easily stand out in the neighborhood. Would hate to leave this house, but if we ever build again… it will be with Shawn Woods and Ashlar Homes!”
