Reputable Custom Home Builder

Don’t Take Our Word for It…

  • A large restored and renovated red barn with a sloped roof, black shutters, and a turret on the left side, surrounded by a brick walkway and small landscaped areas.

    Tim Collins

    I was very pleased with the performance of Howell Custom Building in all areas of the project: initial cost estimation, project management, and the quality of the work. They renovated 2 barns and built two new barns; one of which was a very big project, which included restoring a 1793 timber frame. They dealt with my numerous requests for small 'unique add-on work' professionally and pleasantly.

    We worked with Howell in the extensive renovation and update of our Royal Barry Wills inspired home over a 2.5 year period. The team at Howell was highly recommended, yet still exceeded our expectations in all phases of redesign and renovation. Starting with thoughtful consultation throughout the design process leading into the detailed work by the contractors, the team at Howell was consistently professional, highly skilled and visionary in the re-immagination of our home.

    Claire's Perspective, Interior Designer

    I had the pleasure of collaborating with Howell Custom Building Group on a recent project, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism, expertise and commitment to excellence. As an interior designer, attention to detail and clear communication are critical, and they delivered on every front.

  • A large traditional house with white siding, a brick front porch, and a door painted in terracotta. The house has multiple windows, some with black shutters, and a smaller second-story extension with tan shingles and a red door.

    Hanna Marino

    I credit working with Howell to renovate/ build our home with a level of ease that is uncommon for construction projects. They were organized, upfront, professional, and respectful. I get the sense that all the other subs and designers they worked with felt the same way, and this made for a very timely and smoother process, at least from my end! They worked very hard for us, and we love the beautiful home they built us.

  • Bright modern kitchen with large aesthetic windows, white cabinets, black countertops, and a black range hood. Wooden floors and a patterned rug are visible.

    Darby Scott

    There isn't a day that we don't marvel at how beautiful the new kitchen is and each hour of the day brings changing light from both the kitchen and the extended entryway. We still have that, "pinch me is this ours or are we dreaming" kind of moment everyday.

  • A family gathered in a modern kitchen with a fabulous functional kitchen island, engaging in conversation and laughing.

    Amy F.

    Howell does their work like an expert plays chess. They are constantly two steps ahead. They understand exactly who needs to be contacted - when and what needs to happen in what order. Because of that, all those people who have nightmare stories about renovations, I actually love the process! I was able to watch things come down to studs and rebuilt back up, and I never lost my stove and I never lost my sink.
