Reviews
Below are a few quotes from happy clients of ours. You can see their original posts on our Houzz page.
“Our experience with Mac-Millan Pace was outstanding! They were always on time, hard working, with respectful crews! We received genuine care and feedback on our project. JeanAnne was so professional, patient, and helpful. She set up appointments with bath vendors to help make my visions come to life! We would use them again and highly recommend! Thanks MacMillan-Pace, we love our new house!!”
“We built our custom home in Charlottesville with MacMillan-Pace in 2011. Our experience was very positive. Having previously built a home, we were not new to the process. The talented and helpful staff at MacMillan-Pace made the design and choices of the interior elements for our home less stressful, resulting in a very satisfactory outcome. It is worth mentioning this was done even while commuting to work out-of-state. When we moved in and to this day, we have found the house to be well constructed. For example, we had no visible settling cracks that we had seen in previous homes we had built. McMillan-Pace was there to help in minor repairs that arouse years from the time we moved in. This speaks greatly for their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. We highly recommend them and would be happy to provide any more information at any time.”
“Thank goodness we hired MacMillan-Pace. THEY CAN DO EVERYTHING! We wanted our dream home, they built it. Their crews were fantastic. Started house in December and we were in our beautiful home by Thanksgiving. The team helped us with everything from picking out faucets, designing cabinets, finding granite, and picking out paint colors. We wanted a different fireplace, they made it for us. Wanted geothermal, got it. Wanted a complete SMART house, they did it. Their incredible carpenter even made us a bowl from a tree on property as a welcome home gift. If I had to build another house...would definitely use MacMillan-Pace. They are our building family.”
