"We lived in the house next door for 34 years. We had bought it and eight acres when we moved out here from Niles in
1972. In the 1990s, we sold a lot for the house that's south of us, and thought someday we'd sell off this three acres to
the north. We remodeled the old house years ago and then looked into doing another remodel. We just decided to start
over and build a new house on this three acres.
"I saw this house as a model for Garden Homes and just fell in love with it. It had a master on the first floor, two
bedrooms, a loft and bathroom upstairs, and a walk-out basement. It's a little bigger than our old house, but it seems a
lot bigger because it is so open and light and airy. I think the cathedral ceilings make it seem more spacious.
"I just love it. A lot of this property had been planted in Christmas trees and we had to take out about 100 trees for the
house. We set the house back on top of the hill and curved the driveway around a clump of trees. We built the house
right in the middle of a deer path, but that doesn't seem to stop them. We love this area. It's equally close to Niles or
Buchanan or South Bend. We're 15 minutes from just about everything you need.
"It turned out that our son's childhood best friend, who grew up just a quarter of a mile away, bought the old house next
door."
"Hi Tony. Just a quick note to tell you how pleased we are with Dave's prompt attention to our porch post problem. Since replacement posts were not available, Dave replaced the decaying portion of the post with new lumber and glued and spliced new lumber into the posts. The work he did far exceeded our expectations and you cannot tell the difference from what new posts would look like. He was there when he said he'd be there and just did a great job. What a testimony to Garden Homes to have people on your staff that can do anything. The fact that after 13 years since we built the house through Garden Homes and you still provide service calls is unusual today. Thanks again for your assistance in this matter and if you have any potential customers who are deciding between Garden Homes and another builder, have them call me!"
"We just want to let you know that we really appreciated all the help and supoort you provided as we made our decision to build a house...The house you folks built is now our home and it is everything we had hoped it would be...Working with you and Garden Homes has been and is; a good experience. We're glad that we met you and chose Garden Homes to be our builder. Thanks to you and everyone else involved in bringing this about." Read the Letter
"Again I was pleasantly suprised to hear from you. Never really expected a letter back from my survey. I hope you know how rare it is to get good service and that it is greatly appreciated. Thank you again for taking the time out of your very busy schedule to write. I love my little house. I felt at home here right away."
"Thank you for the beautiful home you built for our mother. We appreciate your service. God Bless You!"
"We would like to thank you for your help in building this home. We love it! We are still tickled pink about some of the floor plan changes we made to accommodate our family. You were very flexible."
"I don't have any complaints. Everything went well."
"Staff involved was very helpful and friendly, excellent customer service."
"...what a pleasure it was to work with Tim Shrock. I know he is a busy man but he always had time to talk over questions we had and provide prompt answers."
"We are very pleased with the quality of our new home. The Garden Home people we worked with were great!"
"Tim is excellent to work with and I would most definitely recommend him."
"We love the solid construction of the home and the layout is easy living."
"We have been in our new home 6 months and love it."
"Bob Soderberg was very helpful and accommodating throughout the building process."
"It was a pleasure working with all who represent Garden Homes."
