Building with Refined was a phenomenal experience. We were first time builders, and we had heard horror stories of building, but our experience with Refined was truly enjoyable (and the finished product - our new house - is AMAZING). They partnered with us from start to finish, found us the perfect lot for a new home, and kept us on budget. The entire team at Refined exceeded our expectations; the business team, the designers (yay!), the project managers and the team that continues to support us 9 months after having moved in (wow!). The service, the attention to detail, the timelines were all fabulous, but all of that only matters if they house they build is better than you could have imagined. Ours is. If (when) we ever build again, our builders will be Refined.

We designed and built with REFINED LLC and had the most amazing experience. After meeting with several builders and learning about the process, their process was in a league of its own. The professionalism, organization, skill, expertise, creativity and passion they brought to our project was astonishing. From start to finish, this building experience was a dream come true for us it we had fun doing it because their process allowed us to trust in each step. We would highly recommend them and would be happy to speak with anyone considering building with them. They are simply the best.

We could not have been more pleased with our homebuilding experience. REFINED not only builds a quality product, but truly cares and stands behind their work. Our home was completed in a timely fashion, organized and on budget. They were easy to work with, honest, dependable and creative in making our dream home into a reality. If we were to build another home tomorrow, we would definitely call REFINED. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a client friendly approach backed with lots of expertise and strict adherence to budget. Thank you REFINED!

Thanks again....Happy holidays :)

The highest praise I can give Refined is that I would require they be my builder if we were ever to build again! Refined did an excellent job of helping pull together larger, abstract concepts, boiling them down into concrete plans and very detailed specifications to accomplish our vision for our home. There was no detail that was too small for Refined professionals to focus on, and they never made us feel like we were overly focused on any element of the project, no matter how small. It was comforting that they would focus on finding the very best solutions when even we thought perhaps we were overthinking something. Every Refined professional I worked with was very skilled in their area of expertise, all were extremely professional and though we had an excellent project manager to oversee our overall project, we knew any communications to any member of the team would always be addressed and communicated to the appropriate team members. The quality of Refined's work is fantastic, and all elements of the project were completed on time. We could not be happier with our home, truly great experience!

Refined Builders attention to detail is next to none. Every step of the way they made sure that I was satisfied with the result and the end product was what I had envisioned. Not only were they incredibly professional throughout our project they are so knowledgeable about their field you really know you're working with an expert!

There aren't enough stars to give to Refined for the work they did in building our dream home! From our first meeting through the completion of the house, our expectations were exceeded. Their attention to detail both in the house itself and the process of building are unmatched. Our home was completed on time. Our experience with Refined defies that of many people we know who built houses with other builders. The team at Refined truly is a pleasure to work with, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone that is looking to build the home of their dreams.

Before we started with Refined, I met with 9 builders to try and decide who to build with. I had fallen in love with Refined's product from a house they had on the Parade of Homes a few years ago and was hoping the personalities of the builders would match with ours. As soon as we met with them, I knew that's who we would build with. Refined was with us throughout the entire process, from finding a lot, negotiating a price, drawing plans, interior design and actual building. From start to finish, they were amazing to work with.
We had heard such nightmares about the building process and how people would never do it again. We never once felt that with Refined. We worked with Eric on the negotiations of purchasing the lot and the previous owners made it somewhat difficult. Eric did a great job buffering us on all of it and from our end, it was seamless.
Andy worked with us from there on drawing the plans with Jalin Design (also awesome) and they came up with SO many ideas we never would've thought of on our own. They took our million Houzz pictures and turned it into our dream house. They also maximized the space too in such a way that gets complimented every time someone walks through the house.
Andy and Tim also led us through the building process itself. I was amazed as to how easy it was. They kept us on time with the various selections (colors, flooring, appliances etc...) and made it a fun process. They quoted us at a certain time for completion and even with a brutally cold winter that shut down work for over 3 weeks, they were still on time with a high level work product.
I have recommended Refined many, many times. They made what could've been an awful process fun. And the end result was our dream house that you will have to drag me out of in 50 years :)

IDC - Automatic has had the pleasure and honor to serve Refined LLC and their clients supplying and installing custom overhead doors and operators for years.
Andy Porter and his team of professional designers, and construction managers make the process of providing our products extremely easy and smooth.
When the process is managed as they do, you can be certain things will be done in a professional manner, and the end result is a beautiful custom home every time.
It is no surprise, or accident that they have been so successful with their business, and if you are looking for a quality custom home builder, make sure you give Andy a call!

Matt,
A great home is just a good house without well designed, quality closet shelving. We have turned to you and your professionalism on most of our projects and are always exceptionally pleased. Thank you for your comments and your partnership over the years.

We have worked with Refined on several projects and truly appreciate the organized, systematic process they have put in place. The Refined team of professionals work together expertly and smoothly, which is so helpful for us as the creative director and project manager. The client knows what to expect, we know what to expect, and everyone is happy! Their commitment to staying on budget makes the process comfortable for the client and creates a feeling of trust between the client and the Refined team, which extends to vendors and other contractors like Blend. Refined is simply a pleasure to work with!
