Custom Home Builder Testimonial

We value every client and trade partner relationship we have established over the years. Below is just a sample of what people have to say about building with American Eagle Builders.

“We are building in the Cliffs at Mountain Park. When we were in the process of selecting a lot (prior to selecting a builder), Bruce took his time to visit several lots with me to give me his input as to grading and foundation costs for each lot. This was very helpful in making a decision regarding the lot. Once we selected American Eagle to build for us the experience has been great. We currently live in Raleigh so having trust and confidence in the builder and the on-site people is critical since we can’t be involved on a day to day basis. I have been able to visit the site every few weeks and have been pleased with the quality of work and attention to detail. Again, trust is important when you can’t see what goes on one a day-to-day basis, and I have complete trust in Dean Sibley who has been on site from the beginning.

The materials selection process has also been a good experience. Roxanne has been excellent in tracking selections and change orders.

We are about 4 weeks from completion and I have nothing but good things to say about our experience.”
