 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  After not being able to find a home that we loved, in the right location and price range, we decided to build. Choosing a builder was no easy task, and I feel like we hit the jackpot with Thornberry Custom Builder. TJ and Jackie are a husband/wife team who truly care about their clients and their homes. Their architect worked with us to design a home that included everything we wanted and flows beautifully. Before construction began, our style and design choices were discussed so they could give us an accurate quote. The project manager was consistently onsite and met with us in person at the site once per week, sometimes more often. He took all of my nonstop calls and questions professionally and respectfully.  The workmanship and attention to detail from this company is incredible! Our questions/concerns along the way were always immediately answered and addressed. Thornberry built us our dream home!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We cannot say enough wonderful things about Thornberry Custom Builders and the exceptional home they built for us eight years ago. From the very first day we moved in, it was clear we had chosen the very best builders in the area. Our home remains, without question, the most beautiful and best-built residence we have ever owned. Thornberry Customer Builders attention to detail, use of premium materials, and uncompromising craftsmanship are evident in every corner of the house. Eight years later, everything still looks and performs like new. The finishes, cabinetry, flooring, and structural elements have held up flawlessly with virtually zero maintenance required beyond normal care. Friends and visitors consistently comment on the timeless beauty and superior quality that sets our home apart. It truly feels like it was built to last for generations. This home has been an utter delight to live in every single day. It has been the perfect backdrop for family gatherings, quiet mornings, and creating countless cherished memories. We truly love it and would never consider selling if it weren’t for our precious grandbabies living 2,000 miles away. The pull to be closer to family has finally won out, but leaving this special place is bittersweet. We’re thrilled that the new buyers fell in love with the home just as deeply as we did the moment they walked through the door. They’ve expressed how they can feel the care and quality that Thornberry Custom Builders poured into every aspect of the build, and we know they will enjoy it for many years to come. If you are considering building a home, we wholeheartedly recommend Thornberry Custom Builders without any hesitation. They don’t just build houses — they create lasting legacies of beauty, strength, and joy. Thank you, TJ and Jackie Thornberry, for giving us the absolute best home imaginable! E and K Stepp.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We recently hired Thornberry Custom Homes to build a mother-in-law suite addition to our home, and we are absolutely in awe of the results. From start to finish, the professionalism was unmatched. Our project manager, David, was incredible—he stayed on top of every detail and kept us informed every step of the way. Diane in the office also made the selection process seamless by perfectly coordinating all our appointments. Most importantly, every one of the subcontractors did top-notch work and was respectful of our space. We couldn't be happier and are 100% glad we chose Thornberry! 10/10 experience

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  If you want a trusted, pays attention to detail, organized builder for your next project, then I highly recommend Thornberry Custom Builders, Inc. We had them put an RV garage addition onto our home, and we knew from the first time we met with their team, that they were the ones we wanted to run and oversee our project. They are great about communicating with the home owners, sending pictures, getting their subs to the project on time and keeping the place clean during construction. You want a builder that pays attention to details, and this company does just that and a whole lot more. Thank you again Thornberry for a job well done...We LOVE our addition.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Working with Thornberry Custom Builders was truly an exceptional experience. I used to think it would be stressful and an overwhelming process to build a custom home. However, from the beginning of our home building journey, Thornberry made the entire process enjoyable and pain-free. Diane set up all our appointments with the vendors.  Each vendor we worked with was helpful and professional. The whole team has been wonderful to work with and would always respond promptly to any questions we had. Our project manager, David, was absolutely the best! When we needed guidance or suggestions, he always had informed opinions to offer. He was the perfect tie-breaker when my husband and I had differing positions on a decision.  David based his opinion on what our taste was and on the outcomes we were looking for. My husband and I could not be happier with our new home. The craftsmanship and quality have exceeded our expectations. Thornberry stands by their work and provides and warranty. I would highly recommend Thornberry to anyone looking for a smooth, high-quality custom home building experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I am building my own house and had some questions about a certain challenging feature so I called them as I know they have built several with that feature.  The owner called me and assisted me.  I was very pleased how kind he was and willing to help.  I hope I can use them in the future to build my next home.
