When building your dream home, you want a builder that understands your vision and helps you bring it to life. Braden and Megan did that and more! They were absolutely accommodating to all of our ideas and helped explain how everything would piece together! We are beyond happy with our home and everything that they did for us! The best part of working with the Markhams was their communication. They responded to everything quickly and professionally; when building a home on a timeline, that is priceless! Thank you, Braden and Megan, for helping to make our dream a reality! We are so excited to make this house our HOME! 


Baron & Kelsey Bradley 

"There are not enough positive things to say about Braden and Megan Markham of Markham Homes.  From the minute we met them, they were extremely accommodating to our needs. When we found our present home, it was in the framing stage. They worked with us to finish the home precisely how we wanted it. They were always on time, at budget, and extremely available and attentive during the process and long after we had finally moved in. If you are considering a beautiful quality home, we highly recommend Markham Homes."

"Braden and Megan have been amazing to work with.  They are willing to help you out with every step of the building process.  Their response time to getting back to you is minimal and they always have an answer or they will find it out for you.  I would recommend Markham homes to anyone!  Very good quality and they always make sure you are happy! They are, simply, the best! I don't have anything to improve on to better serve future customers! :)

Hollie and Nate Stegemann

"Working with Markham homes was a seamless experience. From the moment we started the housing project until the final day, everything went smoothly. All of their contractors were great to work with and very helpful with all of the many questions we had. Megan and Braden handled all things promptly and happily. We have lived in our home for 4 months now and absolutely love how the home turned out. I have built before and know that they build with pride and care. We felt we were the only ones building a home with them although I know we weren't. Markham homes is also very open to individuals ideas and I love that! They will build you your dream home!"

Letitia and Jamie Hodenfield

"I knew the moment I viewed a Markham home in the parade of homes and met Megan and Braden that if I ever built a house, they were my builders!!  4 months later I contacted Braden and Megan to build our home. 

Very few companies in today's fast paced world still hold the values and integrity of a friendly, honest and first class home builder.  That was our number one requirement when searching for a home builder.

From the earliest days when you helped us with the right lot, the right floor plan that fit our needs and our pocketbook, to the final days and details of closing on the house, everything was first rate.

Your commitment to quality, and the details in the planning and completing of our house (ahead of schedule I want to add!) is evident in many of the standard features that would have been upgrades with anyone else - custom cabinets with crown molding, 6 panel solid core doors, hardwood flooring, etc.

Your ability to clealy communicate with us as your client is a wonderful asset to have.  Megan and Braden were always personally available and we did not have to go through another person to talk to them.

I was so thankful that you kept us updated and that if we had questions you were prompt in finding the answers and getting back to us quickly.  You always made us feel our home was your number one priority.  There are not enough words to explain how comfortable we felt working with you.

You certainly have built a reputation that is well deserved.  Our Markham Home IS the 'Mark of Quality'"

Teresa and Brad

"Markham Homes exceeded our expectations...they went above and beyond.  They were very patient and informative in helping us as first time home buyers.  They were always prompt in responding to our questions and concerns, and happy to assist us with any problems that came our way.  We truly felt that they were looking out for our best interests, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied.  It felt as if we were working with a trusted friend rather than complete strangers, which is very comforting when making the largest purchase of our lives."

Mark and Lyndsay Petrich

"I couldn't be happier...your attention to detail and dependability was outstanding.  I always felt like a valued customer.  You pay attention to details and go out of your way to make the customer happy.  You made us feel like we were your number one priority. 

You guided us through the process every step of the way and made sure our needs were met, which I appreciated since this was our first time building a home...when I bought my first house there were times the builder did not return my calls or follow up on jobs he committed to complete.  This never happened with Markham Homes. 

We were always treated like a valued customer which was greatly appreciated.  Markham Homes exceeded my expectations because the building process went so smoothly.  We didn't experiece any problems or roadblocks along the way. 

We are very happy with our new home and pleasantly surprised by how easy you were to work with.  Thanks for everything!"

Jason and Katie Priebe

"We bought a home through Markham Homes. We are very pleased with our house, builder responds any time we have a problem (always small). If we were to build we would build with him again for sure."

Susanne Haas 

"After our first meeting with Megan and Braden, we were completely impressed with the ease of trust we instantly had in Markham Homes to build our first home.  Braden and Megan were always completely professional and helpful, along with being courteous and friendly.  We are absolutely entralled with our new home.  We couldn't be happier.  The building process went smoothly and without concern.  Their guidance and expertise were fully appreciated for our first home."

Mike Carpenter and Brooke Pearson

"Have worked with contractors in other parts of the country and this was by far the best experience that we have ever had. 

Markham Homes LLC. is a fantastic company to work with.  The honesty and integrity of the company was remarkable.  Particularly in these difficult economic times! 

Flexibility.  Willingness to work with the buyer.  Excellent "team" approach.  Of particular note is the fact that, contrary to the experiences of all of our friends who have been through similar experiences, we were able to move in on the EXACT date that we agreed on at the beginning of the process.  This is truly remarkable and is directly related to the integrity of the team at Markham Homes."

Robb and Karen Dunbar

"A few of the many Markham Homes’ strengths include:

 Availability-to answer questions, clarification, or to help pick out things.

Quick Response time - always getting back to us within an hour if not minutes from the time we called about something.

Attention to Detail - for how fast our house went up, you’d think we’d been shorted on quality and attention to detail but exactly the opposite happened. The Markhams really worked closely with the cabinetry people, and each of the subs to make sure that we would be completely satisfied and we couldn’t be more pleased with how beautiful our whole house is!

Confidence - Unwavering confidence helped make us(the shaky new homeowners with a deadline) feel very at ease that what they said would happen and it absolutely did.

Friendly - We got along marvelously with both owners, they are outstanding young business people who really believe in what they are doing and it shows.

We’ve only been in our house 2 weeks and we were recommending them to everyone we knew after the first week of breaking ground.

We had a very tight deadline for our house to be completed, as we were getting married within days of closing on our new home, and we felt very taken care of and checked in on at all the critical times. For all the stress of doing a wedding and building a new house at the same time, we faired surprisingly well and that is a direct tribute to the Markhams making sure everything was right on track."

Andrew and Kristi Dohrmann

"We're picky people and Markham Homes more than exceeded our expectations.  The building process was a great experience and Braden and Megan took the time necessary to explain everything and walk us through the process.  We did a lot more worrying than was needed, as everything turned out very well.  We love our new home and are very grateful to the Markhams for their attention to quality work!

"Attentive to details.  What other builder's would consider "upgrades" were standard with Markham Homes (transom windows, retaining wall, taller trim at base of steps, top-of-the-line windows, etc.).  Able to complete on a tight timeframe.  Easy to communicate with and follow through on questions and concerns"

Ben and Emily Kolling

"Markham Homes provided us comfort and knowledge in being first time homebuyers. We had the opportunity to customize a brand new home that we could not be happier with. Megan is great at communicating every step of the way and giving us a variety of options. They were very patient with us and helpful in making our home the way that we wanted it. They never rushed us into any decisions and were helpful every way possible. You could tell they take pride in making their buyers happy and giving them the home that they have always wanted.  We can honestly say that we had no negative experiences with our whole building process.  Many people have asked who built our home after seeing pics or being over. We would refer anyone interested in a new home to you. Braden and Co. do quality craftsmanship. 

Our experience overall has been wonderful. We were very nervous being new homebuyers and we feel the whole process went smoothly and are very happy with the results. They even gave us needed assurance after the job was done that they were there if something should arise and gave us peace of mind. We now live in a beautiful home that we are very proud to own. Thank you so much for making a dream of ours come true."

Dan and Kim Christoffer

"Markham homes are built with quality and dedication.  Their commitment to time and detail to attention made us amazed several times.  Markham homes is a perfect option if you are building new home or decide to custom built it.  We came up with unique Split level plan with so many Custom designs that the Markhams welcomed with an open mind which is really hard to find these days when the builders don’t give lot of room to work on our ideas.  We could even say “we have a split home that is unique and cannot be seen in Rochester…I bet…” Keep up the good work and I honestly don’t see any areas of improvement.  They stood with us patiently in every step of the process and gave us enough time to look for options. They were responsive to emails, phone calls pretty much about any time...We love this house and if we decide to build an other one I would go with them…

Braden is all anyone need for building new house.  I have and will be recommending every friend/family that i know who has the desire to build new homes."

Prasaad and Preetha

"We built our home with the Markham's in 2012 and had an excellent experience.  Braden was at the building site several times a day to make sure all was running smoothly.  Our home was beautifully finished on time and within budget, and we could not have been happier with the results.  We would highly recommend Markham Homes to anyone looking to build their dream home."

Jerry and Jennifer Dagen

"In the summer of 2013, after months of planning and perfecting our blueprints, we met with various builders in search of the right person to build our dream home.  We were referred to Markham Homes and after our first meeting with them felt they were the perfect choice for us.  Braden and Megan’s commitment to quality and professionalism as well as their high level of customer service were very evident in our initial discussions with them and were seen firsthand every step of the way during the building process.  They provided us with detailed instructions and deadlines for every decision that had to be made.  This attention to detail made the whole process seamless and efficient, and any questions we had were met with quick and thorough responses.  The exceptional level of teamwork between Braden and Megan results in efficiency, quality, and trust.  We were pleasantly surprised to find that many items that are upgrades with other builders were standard with Markham Homes.  This allowed us to get a high quality home while staying within our budget.  We cannot say enough how satisfied we are with our new home; it surpassed our highest expectations and our family and friends continue to compliment on its beauty and grandeur.  We would highly recommend Markham Homes to anyone looking to build a home."

 

Alan and Jenny Fox

"Working with Braden and Megan was a wonderful experience.  They were always there to answer any questions we had along the way and they were very easy to work with.  We would highly recommend Markham Homes!"

Joe and Morgan Conger

The following is a referral letter from a past client to a future client:

"Congratulations on the lot purchase! It's an exciting time and I wish you the best with your build.  I have nothing but great things to say about Braden and Megan.  We absolutely love our home and our friends and family complement it all of the time.  The best thing I can say is that they truly care about building you a quality home and will be there for every step of the way.  Their response time to anything that came up was unbelievably quick and you always deal directly with them, which is very appreciated.  The interesting thing about our build is that we actually came across a model home of theirs that was completed while we were house hunting.  My wife was 4-5 months pregnant at the time with our 2nd son and although we were always interested in building we weren't sure it was something we could tackle.  We met Braden and Megan at the model home and instantly decided on a plan to buy a lot nearby and begin construction on our own home.  The best part is they handled all of the financing of the build, construction loans can be a hassle.  They assured us they could finish it by a specific date and they delivered, without rushing.  Keep in mind this was during the peak build season so I know for a fact they were busy, however, my wife Brie and I always felt like we were a top priority.  

 Questions:

1) Yes, very responsive.  We would contact them via e-mail or phone and they always responded or returned our calls promptly.  This cannot be overlooked.  Communication is huge during a build, I saw it first hand when my sister would go days or even weeks without contact dealing with a different builder in town.  I am sure we asked way more questions than normal people because the building process was so new to us but everything was answered and even additional suggestions offered.  Braden or Megan met with us plenty of times in person when requested. 

2) We dealt with Braden more on the on-site build.  Megan and my wife communicated a lot about colors schemes, designs, etc.  One or both were present as needed and of course we'd run into them from time to time visiting the house so often - It becomes a fun obsession to check on the progress  =) 

3) We had no problems to note during the construction of our home.  It was pretty amazing because we had one of the worst springs last year with rain and then snow it seemed daily.  But never ran into any issues.  Also, everything was on budget and everything that went over was because of something we added later on our own  (sprinkler system, deck, landscaping rock).  I'll also add here that many of the "upgrades" that other builders charge extra for are standard with Markham homes.  I might also add that they both really helped us decide who could help us with extra things that weren't even related to the house build really.

4) We've had a few minor things that I don't even attribute to the builder itself but I'll mention them.  Our programmable thermostat wasn't keeping the programmed temperature for a few days during the winter.  One call to Braden and the heating guy came to our house that day! He replaced a small part and it's been working fine since then.  Braden over-delivered here, we certainly weren't expecting same day as it was not a big deal at all but it was taken care of immediately.  The other thing was a small adjustment on one of our dome lights.  If I was handy at all I could have done it myself but again, the issue was resolved immediately.  We've been in our home nearly a year now and we are still as happy as the day we moved in. 

5) All of the subs were accommodating.  The electrician did a great job helping us and we loved working with Willie from Energy Products on our two fireplaces.  We would visit the house on weekends and there would be guys working and they were always so nice to our 2 year old as we tried to stay out the way.  Also, TJ from Advanced Building Supply was great to work with for selections on windows, doors, shingles, interior options etc.  Our kitchen is amazing and we love our hickory hardwood floors! 

6) If you can't tell by now, I would definitely recommend Markham Homes.  We had an absolute blast working with them, my wife enjoyed picking out and customizing things and Megan definitely has an eye for what's hot.  We could not be happier and I truly mean that.  They are both genuine, honest and care about your home.  Would do it all over again!

"We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful for our experience building with Markham Homes, LLC.  Braden and Megan were professional, personable, and fun to work with – they truly made the process of building enjoyable.  Even though they had other projects they were working on, they made us feel like we were the only home they were building and they stuck to our quick timeline as well!  They are wonderful with communication, too and always got back to us right away whenever we had a question or concern through the entire building process.  We truly have a quality-built home that we absolutely love.  We don’t plan to leave our house, but if we ever build again in the future, it would be with Markham Homes."
