“Jeff was a pleasure to work with through both the planning and build process. This was our first build and thus many unknowns and decisions to me made. Throughout the entire build schedules were met, promises were kept, and changes were accommodated with minimal hassle. We have been in our house for 10 months now and are completely satisfied. Thinking of building? You won’t go wrong with Godbout Development!”
