Building a home is a very personal experience. I don’t know of any other man-made structures or products that come close to what a home actually means to the people who live there. Finding a builder who cares enough about your personal building experience and future home is easier said than done. Every contractor will tell you they are the best, most reasonably priced, experienced….you name it. I had heard it all.



Before Tamlin Homes took over our construction project, my wife and I had been defrauded out of $130,000 from a previous contractor. This previous contractor (criminal) actually faked bank documents to have funds prematurely released…but that’s another story. Needless to say, my view and trust of the home building community was extremely tarnished. After losing a substantial amount of money with our project barely off the ground (concrete slab had only been poured) my wife and I felt true desperation. Nobody said building a home was an easy process, but this was simply ridiculous.



A moment of hope arrived when our architect gave us a referral, Tamlin Homes. Our architect had worked with them for years and spoke highly of their experience and integrity. When my wife and I finally met Neil and Bryan, we knew this was the team we wanted to build our home. Down to earth, straight shooters, likeable, real people (like us) is how we felt. We really felt like they had our best interest at heart and were truly invested in making our home the best it could be.



That’s really what the building process is all about…trust. When your building a custom home, there are no others to compare it to or refine it from. There will be changes, things that weren’t anticipated, but if you have a team backing you who knows how to navigate and protect their clients, that’s really what it boils down to. Be honest, due quality work, don’t overcharge me and provide good customer support. Neil and Bryan provided that type of building environment throughout our entire project. It’s rare to find people in business today who actually have the type of integrity and honesty that Neil and Bryan possess.



If there is one piece of advice I can give to anyone looking to build a home, it is this: Make sure you have a trusted relationship in place and you actually like the folks who are in charge of the project. Building a home is a long process. It can be emotional at times, stressful at times and of course is a major financial investment. If you have people that you truly like, respect and just get along with, it will make your experience that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend anyone looking to build a new home to contact Neil and Bryan, introduce them to your project needs, get to know them and make the call for yourself…you won’t be disappointed.

If you are looking for quality and accountability in a home builder, stay clear of Tamlin Homes. Tamlin builds nothing but a very expensive track home and takes no accountability for the countless problems they create. They do not have genuine high end home building experience. The quality of their subcontractors was awful. When the issues became too much for Tamlin to deal with, they went into shut-down mode and disappeared. Our project had no management, no supervision, no quality control. Exactly the opposite of what Bryan Thomas promises you as he takes your money. Neil Robinson demonstrated a complete lack of competence understanding our plans, contract details, or expectations. He would blame everyone else for the problems and never was on site to personally oversee anything. They refused to honor any warranty claims for repairs. It has been a year and a half since Tamlin walked away from our project, leaving us with a huge expense to replace and repair their malconstruction. We have recovered only a fraction of the costs from some of the subcontractors directly after paying qualified trades to fix or correct installation errors performed under Tamlin and still have issues with plumbing, electrical, and structural components of the build. They installed flooring way too early and with all the repairs and trades still doing work, scratched, dented, and ruined the hardwood flooring. It looks like it has been down 10 years and it was a brand new home. You simply cannot trust them. You do not have to take my word for it, ask them to speak to the owner of their website's "Featured Home" and watch their reaction.
