What our clients have to say...
Dear John:
Having been in our home for over 5 years now, we’ve been sadly behind in formally telling you how pleased we are: pleased with the results, and with the wonderful customer service we have received before, during and after the construction of our home. The entire process, from planning, designing, building, and the numerous choices involved in putting together a custom home were made so much easier by you and all your staff. You guided us every step of the way, providing insight on how best to fulfill our wishes and maintain our budget (no easy task!). All of your staff was patient with our (often uniformed) questions, concerns and odd requests – doing their best to help us through what can be a confusing process. Having dealt with other builders in the past, we cannot praise you and your staff enough.
There are few builders who truly stand behind their product like you do. And there are even fewer whom you can truly trust. And trust is (without a doubt) the operative word. Knowing we could count on you and your staff to have our best interests at heart made everything easier. And we now have a beautiful custom home that meets our needs and suits our tastes.We will turn to Encore Custom Homes and Newhall Jones & Stackman for any construction, remodeling, or addition plans in the future. We couldn’t even think of using anyone else!"
Sincerely Yours,
Janet Politte & Larry Murphy
"Quality design, quality construction, quality care and quality service. We built a great relationship of trust working with Encore. We are happy to have chosen them as our builder and are happy to recommend them."
Bryan and Lisa Woodruff
Microsoft
"It's a privilege to work with you. The level of care you put into your homes is only surpassed by the expression in your hearts."
Dave Nelson
"Thank you for your time and effort in making sure that we were happy with our new home"
Scott and Kennena Greer
"We are very pleased with the quality of workmanship, the talent and the professionalism shown by Encore in building our custom home on time and within budget. We chose Encore over the low bidder based on a comparison of your higher quality standard specifications, realistic dollar allowances and several promises you made and fulfilled regarding excellent interior design. If asked for a recommendation of a custom home builder, Encore would be at the top of my list. Probably the best indication of a successful project and satisfied customer is knowing that if I build another custom home, I will start with Encore Design/Build."
Dale Ulin
Attorney at Law
"Over the past seven years, our custom home, built by Encore has demonstrated a high quality of workmanship. This workmanship can be seen in the beautiful architectural features. Encore built our dream home! Not only have we enjoyed this high standard for detail, our family and friends continue to praise our home. Encore's high standard of construction is standing the test of time."
Alan and Deanna Petre
Boeing Manager
"We are very pleased with both the quality and design of our home. We had owned 4 homes in four years (3 were new builds, 1 was custom) at the time we bought our home from Encore (our 5th in 4 years!). Of all 5, the Encore home was by far the best designed and had the best quality construction. The structure got high marks from our independent building inspector. John Stackman was a pleasure to work with; he treated us with both courtesy and genuine concern for our satisfaction."
Terrence Conner
Project Management Resources, LLC
"We love our new home. The folks at Encore made the involved construction process enjoyable with their professionalism, flexibility and can-do attitude." Jeff and Beth Day "Every finished home shows the pride of the entire organization." Trudy Sayler "We couldn't be happier with the overall design and quality of our home and with the value for our investment. It has been a pleasure working with you and your staff and with many of the subcontractors we are now acquainted with."
Robin Goldstein & Tim Root
"Your workmanship was top notch and your attitude and professionalism were simply excellent. You not only had the foresight to envision problem areas before they were built, but you came up with creative solutions to the problem as well."
Robert MacAulay & Keri Ellison
“We've been so happy with John Stackman & Encore Custom Homes that we've now built two custom homes with them in the last 14 years. John's attitude to building is definitely professional and tempered with a full understanding of what the homeowners' feelings and concerns are. Encore builds quality homes. Our engineer neighbors compared the construction of our most recent new home to that of another going up in the same neighborhood. No comparison - ours was built with a higher quality foundation, framing & overall specifications. John is hands-on and won't hesitate to offer his opinion while promoting alternative ideas & solutions to construction issues. We've found his suggestions to be creative and well thought out. We will be building one more home and it will be our third with Encore Custom Homes & John Stackman. It is fun and satisfying to build a home with Encore Custom Homes."
Gail and Warren Dent
"My experience with the Encore team couldn't have been any better. They made building of our house easy and we are so very happy in our new home. They are prompt, efficient, responsive and most of all did an excellent job building our house." Carol Murakami
" We are the proud owners of Newhall, Jones and Stackman home. The house is truly wonderful and well planned out – truly a “street of dreams” quality builder! With wonderful amenities and features we love. The best part of the home however, is the quality of service we receive from the builders after the sale! There are always minor issues with a new home and its many components and each time we have brought them to the attention of NJ&S they have been resolved promptly and professionally – no questions, never a challenge that the issue may not be their responsibility. They will make it right – no questions! We wholeheartedly recommend NJ&S to any of our family and friends who are looking for a quality home and exceptional builder. In 2008’s down housing market, there are many builders in the business who have simply closed up shop and left their customers to fend for themselves, planning to reopen when the market picks up again. NJ&S continues to be there to support its customers – we are truly fortunate to have purchased a home from Newhall, Jones and Stackman."
Dan and Patsy Hodge
"I was talking to a realtor today about my house. We talked about many things in regard to the value of my house and one of the things that I mentioned to him was how pleased I am with my builder. I noted that you were here just today even though you are paid in full. His response to me was that you are a well known and well respected builder in the community"
Suzie Lyons
"I was extremely happy with all the personal attention given to me by John Stackman and his team at Encore Custom Homes. Everything including the handling of change orders, staying inside my budget with a cost plus actual receipts process, and their helpful advice on the design elements in both exterior and interior exceeded my expectations. There is no doubt that I will refer Encore Custom Homes to everyone that is planning to build a custom home. "
Mary A Walker
"We almost missed out! At the end of our contractor selection, we decided to reach out to one more contractor, Encore Homes. From the very beginning, the communication and responsiveness was exceptional. John Stackman and his team provided us guidance based on their experience which helped us add the finishing touches to the remodel. We had fears about the timeline, but Encore Homes delivered the project on-time. Due to the excellent communication at the beginning of the project, we only had a few minor upgrades which kept us very close to our initial budget. We would recommend Encore homes to our friends and family, in fact we already have!"
Roger Monteith
I wanted to write and let you know how please we are with the job that you did for us. As you know we had long considered doing the work on our kitchen as we weren't exactly sure who we could rely on to "get it right"....you did just that! From day one you came in and helped us with the design and direction, using your experience and expertise to point us in the right direction. The top notch "sub's" you work with were all very talented and professional. It meant a lot that you made it a point to be there and personally introduce them all and set up the scope of their particular job (be it the painter, the carpenter, the granite/tile folks, etc). Although our job was fairly straight forward, there were a couple of changes that had to happen on the fly...and no one missed a beat. The communication throughout the entire job was excellent, I always knew where we stood...it didn't hurt that the job was done "one time", not to mention "under budget"!!! Thanks again for everything...we will definitely be using you again for our next project! Feel free to use us as a reference :-) Kate & Dan Bean
"John Stackman has mastered the art of building custom homes for demanding clients, in the luxury and upper middle range of our market. When building spec homes, he has consistently put up exceptional homes in good locations, and they sell first for more money than those of his competitors. His company has withstood even the most difficult markets because of his judgement and business sense. As an agent who deals with lots of builders, I can say he is also just a heck of a nice guy, a good citizen, and his long list of happy clients shows his commitment to successful relationships."
