Testimonial

In September of 2010 my wife and I contracted with Shane Carter of Ridgeview Construction Company. The mission was to dismantle and old farmhouse occupying the site and use some of the material in building a new ranch style house with a two-car attached garage. We presented a floor plan we liked, as well as our vision for the new house and our expectations to Mr. Carter.

All through the building process, we found that the construction crew was personable, courteous and professional.  The sub contractors who were used were proficient and timely. All the issues which came up were addressed quickly and solved correctly.
Shane Carter takes pride in his work and guarantees customer satisfaction. His standard materials are the other contractor’s upgrades. We moved in May 6, 2011 and are very happy with the home.

Cornerstone Award 2011: Five Star Energy Star Home

This custom colonial style home is uniquely situated by a sunny meadow, a position that will maximize passive solar gain in the winter months (and provide wonderful views year round!). It’s special features include a slab-on-grade foundation, radiant floor heating, low-flow toilets, and EnergyStar-rated lighting. In order to save both time and energy, the walls, ceilings and roofs were all built off-site and delivered, helping to reduce the framing time. The home owners decided to leave the 3rd floor “attic” space unfinished during the initial construction phase to allow them to grow into their dream home.

Testimonial

Shane built our dream home and was instrumental in making everything come together. From the first day we met Shane, we felt that we met someone who actually listened to our dreams, not just our wish list. Shane guided us through the whole acquisition and construction process and his open communication gave us confidence that we had chosen the right contractor. Shane and crew were always available to educate us about the way the house was constructed and how everything worked together.
The thing that make Shane stand out is that he really sees the house in its surroundings and he makes sure that it fits within the space. We love the house and of course, it’s surroundings. So far we have seen deer, turkeys, a lone rabbit and the beautiful sunsets. We will certainly be working with Shane and his crew on any of our future projects in and around the house.

Testimonial

“Shane worked very hard to keep on top of all the issues during construction. He and his crew did a wonderful job, their craftsmanship is outstanding! Shane and crew were always on the job at an early morning hour and were there working every day. We found he and his crew always to be happy, friendly, courteous, cooperative and very responsive to our wishes and requests- even coming up with innovative solutions to problems dismissed as “not able to be done” by others. Shane kept us informed of progress and/or delays. He was always very prompt in responding to calls, questions or input. He always took responsibility for any issues, delays or setbacks that he felt were in his realm as General Contractor, even if it was due to manufacturing issues. Even though the custom home building process is always fraught with frustrations and challenges, Shane and his crew were so pleasant to deal with!”

Testimonial

” I “found” Shane of Ridgeview Construction on an Internet service as I was trying to locate a builder who would be willing to build a self-designed custom hybrid post and beam home.I truly feel that it was divine intervention! Shane and his crew are awesome!

Admittedly, my husband and I were very naïve and inexperienced with being “green”. Shane presented us with building options, including building in an eco-friendly/efficient manner. His no nonsense approach made it easy for us to decide on “going green”. He opened our eyes to an entirely new perspective and way of life.

Shane was flexible and willing to work with our ideas but at the same time, he told us what would work and what wouldn’t. Keeping to our ideals and a budget was crucial. We worked as a team to bring our dreams to fruition. Although building in general can be very stressful, Shane communicated with us every step of the way and really helped to alleviate the building stressors.

I would be remiss if I didn’t applaud the “boys”- Shane’s crew is nothing less than stellar. Right from day one, they presented themselves in a respectful and professional manner. They took immense pride in the fact that they were building our dream home.

More often than not, one hears horror stories about contractors, building a custom home, etc. Shane is the complete antithesis of “the norm” and we couldn’t be happier or more proud of the final product. He changed our lives and made our dreams come true!”

Testimonial

“Just thought that you might like to know that…after 5 days of no power in our house, when it finally came back on, the temperature on our main floor was still at 65 degrees. The house quality was really apparent throughout this ordeal, we were never uncomfortable. It is amazing how well it holds the heat. Thanks!”
