Client Testimonials

While I know Kim and I can sometimes be very demanding and tough to please, the bottom line is that you designed and built our dream home on budget and ahead of schedule and we love it. It's just taken us a couple of weeks to recover from the stress of moving! I would certainly be enthusiastic about talking with any potential homeowners that you would be working with. While I am biased, I find it hard to believe that there are many homes out there that are more beautiful yet energy efficient as our home.

Unlike our experiences with two other builders, your company strives to go “that extra mile.” Not only to secure complete customer satisfaction, but to take it to that next level of expectation.
After searching for three years and meeting with countless builders, we are extremely pleased that we chose Sopris in the end. Your attention to detail and demand for quality construction was evident even from our first meeting….Now that we have moved in and can experience the joys of our new house, we are confident in saying that our initial impressions of your company have been solidified.

We interviewed numerous builders before choosing Sopris. The quality energy efficiency and 21st century standards that john Stevens incorporates into his homes, where other builders are still just building the same old house is one of the reasons we decided on Sopris.
After being in the home for over four months we’ve had an opportunity to appreciate the homes energy efficiency, quality construction and beautiful design. We continue to get compliments from friends and family on the design and features.
Also, you didn’t just forget about us once the house closed. When minor issues did arise, your warranty group was very responsive and helpful, in getting our issues resolved in a timely and friendly manner.

A special thanks to those of you who put up with our changes and extra requests. Some of those things you were willing to do make this house more individualized for us.
We also appreciate the follow up after closing and feel confident that it will continue until each little item is resolved.
Not only do you build a wonderful house, but you are great people to deal with!

Since we are new to the area we were very concerned about neighborhoods, soil challenges and overall building quality. Our sales process went very smooth from the moment that we walked through our home to the time that we closed. Your staff is to be commended from being responsive, and extremely diligent during the walk-trough and final processes to prepare our home. Even my realtor was impressed with the amount of care and effort that went into preparing our home for occupancy.
We have now been in our home for 9 months and we love it more and more each day. We are so pleased that we purchased our home from such a quality builder who stands by their product even after the sale. The whole team at Sopris continues to be responsive with questions and/or concerns. I would highly recommend Sopris as a builder to anyone and should we choose to build again, Sopris would be our builder of choice.

Cindie and I would like to express our appreciation to you and all those at Sopris who were involved in the construction of our new home. From the design process through completion of the construction, we found everyone to be courteous, accommodating to our requests and a pleasure to work with.
One of the things that was particularly impressive was your effort to make sure the house was totally finished with few, if any, punch list items at the time of closing. The few punch list items we did have were taken care of promptly and left us felling very happy and satisfied with the whole process.

We are so thrilled with our new home and wanted to let you know! When you build a custom home in Colorado, a customer has many builders to choose from. After looking at so many homes, we were most impressed with the workmanship of the home, we were most impressed with the workmanship of the homes you build. You offer superior quality, efficiency, and outstanding customer service. When we first met with you, we were told that you build a good, quality home at a fair price. After comparing many homes in the area we completely agreed.
The responsiveness we received from you and your staff took all the headaches out of building a custom home; in fact, it was truly an enjoyable experience. Everyone involved in the process was great to work with.

From start to finish, this has been an extremely pleasurable experience that far exceeded our expectations. Sopris’ primary goal has been clearly evident throughout the process – 100% customer satisfaction. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the way our new home has turned out! The Sopris team was extremely flexible throughout each phase of the construction and the patience and expertise of your design team was critical in helping us to finalize specific modifications to suit our individual needs.
Following the closing transaction, the Sopris team has provided meticulous attention to detail to ensure uncompromising standards are maintained during the warranty period. Prompt and courteous service is the norm, and the team has gone “beyond the call of duty” on numerous occasions to help maintain this standard. Clearly, no detail is too small to escape their attention.
We honestly can’t imagine enjoying a ore satisfying home building experience – thanks for everything!

I want to tell you that purchasing this house has been very pleasant! This is our 3rd new house and by far, your company has been great to work with, including your contractors. Even the closing went well…very efficient and professional.

One of the reasons we fell in love with the home is that the quality of both materials and workmanship. Everything has been done first class! Coming from our production home in Parker, we can really see the importance of stepping up in quality. With this quality comes the amenities of a custom home. Little things like closets cabinets, and outlets where they should be. We have all owned homes where we have wished for things after the purchase. This has not been the case with our home!
Your policy of having an orientation with your staff before the closing date is outstanding. This procedure catches all of the minor problems that catch the eye of the buyer and fixes them before they become an issue.
My final comment would be the quality of your staff. Great people! I enjoyed every encounter.

My wife and I would like to express our gratitude t you and your staff on the professionalism you all have had during the building of our new home. The home is built beautifully and very sound, with all the right options to make this a home to be proud of for all. We appreciate the effort made for an energy efficient home and feel this home will only grown in value based on the quality options incorporated for us in this home.
As you know, we had actually put a contract on another home with a track builder and with your help and patience we feel we made the right decision to purchase a Sopris home instead.

We worked with John Stevens and his people over the last nine months in building our new house in Lafayette. The most important factor we were left with is how nice everyone was to work with. John sets a great example for his people to follow and has exhibited a a great attitude throughout the entire process. Sopris is the kind of company you “want” to deal with when building a new home.
I’m sure everyone wants the same thing when they are having a new house built; no unforeseen issues. This is probably an unrealistic goal for all of us but I cannot recall a situation that wasn’t overcome during our construction. As in all new construction, there were many items that came up for discussion and it always ended up with a positive solution.
