Joseph Paul Homes

Joe is an excellent home builder. We have worked with many of his homeowners on flooring and the experience is always smooth and organized. His team always exceeds expectation when fulfilling the homeowner's vision.

David is a great builder (Joseph Paul Homes). While nothing goes perfectly with any construction project, David addressed and corrected them and the finished product is amazing. I would do business with him again.

After interviewing in depth 8 custom builders and checking with 4-10 previous customers of each of the builders, we picked Joseph Paul Homes. We got glowing comments back from the 10 previous clients of theirs, but, for us, what sealed the deal was that Joe Vastano from the very beginning really got our vision and really, really listened. He didn't just paraphrase back what we said, but, instead, used it as a stepping board to understand more by asking questions and by suggesting possible improvements on our ideas. We went to Joe with a collection of room ideas and a general sense of how we wanted the pieces of the house to come together. After many sessions in which the design kept getting better and better, we finally signed off on everything. We are almost done with the building. While we had certain expectations about the house, we have been continually blown away by how much prettier it proved to be, mainly through the collaborative process of the four of us (Joe, my wife and I and Joe's on-site project manager David). Our neighbors love our house too, which makes feel good. This is our first and (given our age probably last) full custom house. Let me warn you here and now that, having lived through it and having spoken to a couple of dozen people who did as well, building a full custom house is as incredibly stressful as the result, hopefully, is well worth it. While I've long lost count of the sleepless nights of worry about this or that, I have David to keep me sane. I tell everyone that David is "my number 1 destresser". We email or call or talk to him 4-6 times every day. Usually, after talking to David, I realize my worries about some feature were misplaced and the current design is already the best. Still, many times we have found things we want to change and David always has creative ways of helping us figure out how best to implement the change. If we lived a thousand lifetimes and Joe and David would live them with us, we'd pick them again every time. (You would not believe some of the horror stories I have heard from people who made the wrong choice when picking a builder.)
