Since we already owned a home in the area, my husband and I were only casually looking to upgrade to a forever home. We fully intended to take our time in finding a perfect home for decades to come. We toured old houses, newly remodeled houses as well as new construction homes. It wasn’t long before our real estate agent introduced us to Mike Hoffmaster. His passion, expertise, patience, attention to detail and professionalism were immediately apparent as we met on the site of one of his new construction homes. As we stood on only a foundation, we were skeptical to say the least. Although Mike brought sketches, floor plans and gave an overview of the specs of the house to be built in great detail, concrete walls in the ground weren’t enough to convince us of what the final product would become. Fortunately, we went that same day to a recently completed Hoffmaster Home. To say we were impressed would be an understatement! The exterior design, open floor plan, custom interior finishes, and solid craftsmanship were striking. You didn’t have to be told of the quality of the house- it simply spoke for itself. From the solid oak hardwood floors, intricate coffered ceilings and built-in shelving to the natural granite, lush carpet, stainless steel appliances and updated light fixtures- the quality far exceeded other homes we had seen. The days went on but we could not stop thinking about the Hoffmaster Home! Other new construction homes just did not compare. We knew in our hearts that foundation of a home was the one for us and decided to buy.
My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Mike Hoffmaster for the five months that it would take to transform that foundation into our dream home. Though building a new home is typically thought to be full of stress, we felt it was one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences of our lives! Mike was on site at our house every day supervising the intricate schedule of tasks to be completed. There were stressful moments, but Mike assuaged our fears by always communicating with us and offering thoughtful expertise. Our experience was highly personalized- we were able to customize many aspects of the home to our liking (from light fixtures to paint colors to finishing our basement- even down to minor details such to where towel bars and toilet paper holders would go!). We are beyond grateful for how closely Mike worked with us, involving us in every step along the way. He really went out of his way to make sure everything we wanted out of our home was achieved. We could not be more thankful for Mike Hoffmaster or more proud that our home is a Hoffmaster Home!
