Who Can You Trust?

It’s your home. It’s where your child took his first steps and the backdrop for countless other memories. It’s hard to imagine a place more personal and important. It’s also likely your single biggest investment. So how do you know who you can trust to remodel it with the level of care you require?

For 35 years the Lakeville Homes team has been stepping through doors not so unlike yours. And with each kitchen remodel or second story addition, we’ve been proving ourselves to each home’s residents; earning their trust, and an invitation back when their needs change.

We can’t tell you to trust us, but we can invite you to get to know us. The trust we’ll build on from the very beginning.

“Thank you for your outstanding customer service. Over the past 6 years we truly appreciated your willingness to help us with any and all of our issues related to our home. The entire Lakeville staff was always polite, pleasant and willing to help. Thank you.”

-Peter and Tricia Nora

“Representing Lakeville Homes has been a sincere honor and pleasure. Their experience, versatility and principles give us a foundation to develop strong marketing campaigns as well as allow us the confidence to speak with assurance and certainty to potential Buyers.

Lakeville Homes continues to impress us with each transaction we are involved in together. It is obvious they have a passion and dedication to their craft; from their progressive thinking towards the changing needs of design and finishes, to their commitment to client satisfaction, resulting in trusted relationships for years to come.”

-Lisa Whittaker, Realogics Sotheby's

“We are in month 4 of a 6 month remodel of our home and Lakeville has been fantastic. When we tell people we are remodeling our house they always ask “so are you over time and over budget?” …we get to say actually things are right on track!

We did do our homework when selecting a company for this big project and it’s true what they say that beyond checking the BBB and references you need to like who you are going to work with. Lakeville has never pressured us in any way and has come up with some great ideas during the project. They are also very responsive to our questions via phone or email (which is great if you’re busy with work).

We have also done our part by picking out most of our spec list before construction began and haven’t changed too many things during the process.

Overall we are very happy and can’t wait to move into our beautiful new home!”
