In their words

“Building with Irie Homes was the best decision we made when we decided to build a home for our family! Mark & Emily made the entire process so enjoyable, even when we still lived out of state when construction first began. Their commitment to quality is truly what sets their team apart! They provided unwavering guidance while ensuring we were confident with each decision made. We would absolutely recommend Irie Homes to anyone looking to build their dream home!”

“Mark & Emily were great to work with. Not having much of a design eye ourselves, Emily was able to pull everything together beautifully from lighting to cabinetry to color schemes. Mark did a great job helping us customize the blueprints to provide a beautiful exterior and the open, functional floorplan we were desiring. We’ve been in our home a year now and couldn’t be happier.”

“Oh my gosh I am not even sure where to start with our amazing Irie Homes experience! … We visited our site daily and were very involved throughout the entire process. The communication lines were open at all times. I also felt like they were as involved as it was their own home they were building, giving me ideas of lower cost options, helping us get deals etc … I can not say enough wonderful things about our experience with Irie Homes and if I ever built again it would only be with them, salt of the earth, genuine as they come and simply the best of the best.”

“We built with Irie and have lived in our house for a little over a year. We had an outstanding experience with Mark and Emily. Their trustworthiness and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. Collaborating was a smooth experience and the final outcome surpassed our expectations. We highly recommend them for those seeking reliable construction and home design services.”

“Mark and Emily helped us to completely remodel a home that we bought. We essentially stripped the house down to the sheetrock and started over including removal of several walls. This process would have been completely overwhelming without their expertise and patience. The entire process was stress free and genuinely a joy to work with them. Not only did they show they care but they have been phenomenal in checking in with us over the past couple of years to ensure everything is still great! I hope to not remodel or build anytime soon but if I do it will be with Irie!”

★★★★★Eric Conlon · Google review

“I have followed Irie Homes for quite a while and was fortunate enough to be able to get my entire upstairs remodeled by them. I absolutely love their designs and finishes. I fully entrusted them to take over the entire design and choose everything for me. I could not be happier with how everything turned out! It was the smoothest process from the beginning until the very end. I 100% would recommend Irie Homes!! They truly are amazing people and I couldn’t be more grateful for what they did to our home!”

★★★★★Stephanie Young · Google review

“100% I would recommend to anyone who is wanting to build a custom home or remodeling their current home. Irie Homes remodeled our entire upstairs and our entryway and we couldn’t be happier. They are such a pleasure to work with, we always knew what was going on, and everyone that came to our home was always extremely friendly and professional. I can not wait until we are able to get our main level finished, we will definitely be calling them!!”
