Testimonials

We did quite a bit of research when deciding on a builder for our home.  We chose Mendleson Homes and are beyond happy with our choice.  As knowledgeable as we became of the local builders is as how uninformed we were of house building.  That gap in our knowledge was not relevant because the Mendlesons and their amazing staff patiently helped us and walked us through the entire process.  We found the lot on which to build the home but they worked with us to buy it.  And that was the beginning of our amazing journey.

Our home was built during the worst of the pandemic.  Finding qualified folks to work on the house, getting building supplies, and getting interior items like appliances were huge obstacles and challenges.  For a couple of the interior items we had to go to Plan B, but Plan B was never a problem and was just as perfect as Plan A.  Even considering all of that, the home was completed with only the slightest delay.  

There is not enough time to explain everything that went right and how pleased we are.  The home is beautiful.  The quality is the highest.  We consider many of their standard features to be “special touches” and always will regardless of what the Mendlesons keep telling us.

When you choose Mendleson Homes know that you have chosen the best.  Although we are their clients, we consider it our honor to have been able to work with honest and truthful folks with integrity.  If we had to do it all over again, we would not change a thing.

Mendleson Homes made our dreams a reality….

The experience we had building our home with Mendleson Homes was truly second to none.  From the beginning of the project to the closing date, Alan, Enid, Heather, Bea and everyone involved helped make it a pleasant, efficient and easy-to-understand venture.  From the planning phase to the building of the house with the skilled and personable crews, our house was complete.  The attention to detail was impeccable, the scheduling was effortless, and the craftsmanship was flawless.  I have had several friends and family members, people who have built homes and worked in the construction business themselves, mention to me many times how solid and well-built our new home is.

Mendleson Homes made our dreams a reality and I cannot say enough about how understanding and accessible they were throughout this whole process, both before, during and after.  There was a true sense of wanting to communicate all those little details every step of the way; they want their customers to feel comfortable with and be educated on each decision that goes into building a new home and how they arrived at those decisions.  They showed a level of care and attention that you just can’t purchase; we have made life-long friendships and have the peace of mind that comes with knowing that they are always just a phone call away.  We had many things to be thankful for this year, and one of those many blessings was the care and support of the Mendleson team.  Thank you so very much!

My wife and I moved into Fawn Lake thirteen years ago.  We had a custom home built by Regency Homes.  About a year ago my daughter and her husband decided to move to Fawn Lake.  They looked at all the available resale homes but couldn’t find one that met their needs so they decided to build.

They visited the models and spoke with the salesmen of several of the national builders.  Most of the models were laden with options that were either unavailable on standard models or would have cost a small fortune to include.  In addition, there was little to no flexibility in making any changes to available floor plans.

Then they visited the model home of Mendleson Homes and met Alan and Enid Mendleson.  They made an immediate connection.  Alan and Enid worked with them to find a design and floor plan that met their needs.  One thing I learned when we built our home was that you want to pick a builder who is responsive and that you can get along with for six to eight months.  We all found the Mendleson’s to be delightful to deal with.

• Their standard package includes better trim and upgrades than the national builders upgraded package.
• Alan, the owner of the company, was hands on during the entire project, exercising continuous management to keep everything moving and on track.  you are never going to get this level of attention from a national builder and if you want to have something changed it just won’t happen.
• Alan followed through on his commitments and met all his project milestones.
• I got to know Alan’s team that working on the house and I was impressed by their level of commitment to do a high quality job.  They were invested in doing their best to turn out a quality product that they were proud to have built.
• Alan and Enid were excellent to deal with and very flexible regarding changes in progress.  In any large project like this there are going to be things you didn’t foresee in the original plans and that you want to have changed during construction.  My daughter found this to be the case and was very pleased with the assistance she got from Alan and Enid.
• In closing, I watched every day of this project from lot clearing to final cleanup and was impressed at the quality of materials and workmanship.  Alan and Enid delivered a beautiful house on time despite weeks of rain that caused delays during construction.  This was due to Alan’s hands on project management.  A national builder would have even delayed months under the same circumstances.  I would be happy to speak with anyone considering Mendleson Homes as their builder to provide additional details.

The Mendleson Homes Group is “top shelf” within the home building community.  My wife and I searched over and over for our perfect home, always coming up with the same conclusions – if we could just take this amenity from one house, add it to another house, and on and on.  All were beautiful homes but didn’t meet our needs.  That’s until we walked into the Mendleson home.  Before we made it half way through, we realized it was our “dream home” come true!  The workmanship with regard to what many other builders would consider upgrades, are found to be standard with Mendleson.

 

To top it all off, the entire Mendleson group treated us as if we were family, always seeming to go the extra mile making sure our needs were met.  Never once did a question go unanswered, rather all were remedied.

 

We are truly blessed to find this family-owned organization.  I hope that if anyone reads this and is looking to build, you will call this group!  If you’re like us, you won’t be disappointed!

More than just a builder, FAMILY! It’s unreal how in today’s society we are so quick to pick out and advertise someone or some company’s short comings. So little do actually take the time to recognize and celebrate the wins of a great experience. Well when it came to building our custom home with the Mendleson’s it was nothing short of a life changing experience that not only built our dream home but also built a family relationship with the Mendleson’s. When the Mendleson’s were done building our home I said to them “every relationship should start with building a home because it shows everyone’s true colors and how they will handle their emotions” and I meant it. From putting every one of our cares first to making decisions on our behalf instead of theirs being the builder they lead every step of the way with love. Our house is a masterpiece not because it was so expensive (which the Mendleson’s meet every budget and most of all help you stay on track) but because every corner of the house was a decision, we made together being builder and purchaser. There were a lot of laughs and anytime tensions ran high they were a voice of reason to calm us down. The experience was if we were on the same team with a second pair of eyes. Everything was based on integrity and the Mendleson’s kept their word every step of the way. Not once did we ever have to resort back to a contract and that is unheard of now a days. So once again we want to say thank you for building us a custom home, leading us with open arms and making us part of the Mendleson family, for this we will be forever grateful. Love, the Fernandez’s!

Why a Mendleson home? From the soft close drawers and cabinets to the crown molding, the standard features that Mendleson Homes provides are upgrades for every other builder we’ve ever worked with (and this is the third home we’ve built).  The Mendlesons are easy to work with and were always available to discuss any changes we wanted to make to the home design, keeping us involved in every step of the building process. They take pride in every home they build. The superior craftsmanship on their stick-built homes is second to none. If we were to build another home, we would build with Mendleson Homes!

We undertook a major home renovation with Mendleson Development after shopping around for contractors.  Right from the outset we found Alan and his team to be professional, easy to work with and focused on getting our project done right and promptly.  He had great ideas for our design and always had an eye on savings for us when possible.  He and his wife Enid welcomed us into their own home to view his construction style and various options for us.  We are so grateful for that.  His communication with us was excellent and he always seemed willing to answer our questions and concerns.  He was so patient with us!  His laid back style and professionalism is unmatched in the building community around Fredericksburg in my our opinion.  We are ecstatic at how our renovation turned out and will likely use him again for further renovations.  Thank you to Alan and his team.

We met with several builders when we were thinking about upgrading to a larger home.  After five minutes with the Mendleson Homes Team, there was no question about who we trusted to help us design and build our first family home.  From the initial meetings drawing up plans to the final walk through, Mendleson’s were there to answer our questions and offer suggestions as if we were family.  We are absolutely thrilled with our new home and would highly recommend Mendleson Homes to anyone looking for a low stress, personalized building experience!

Mendleson Homes is outstanding! When referring a client to Mendleson Homes I know they will not only own an exceptionally well built home…but they will also have the privilege of building a life long relationship with the Mendleson family! You will never regret building what I always refer to as a “Mendleson Masterpiece!” Thank you for all you’ve done for my clients and our community!

Our entire experience with Mendleson Development has been so much greater than we could have ever expected. We first met Jason while out home shopping and stopping by one of their new builds. We were so impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, and sincerity that we decided Mendleson was the company for our new home build. Since then and meeting with Alan and his lovely wife, our initial feelings have only been secured firmer. We love that the company is a small family-run company and their passion shows in their exceptional workmanship. We have been in our house for just over a month and say almost every day how much we love our house; the quality, the care that went into making sure everything was just right and not cutting corners is truly appreciated. Thank you, Mendleson Development.

The home inspector’s comment was that the house was about as close to perfect as he’d ever seen.
