What Our Customers Say
“Andrew LaRoche and his crews worked carefully and meticulously, clearly taking pride in their craftsmanship. The project unexpectedly took a 90-degree turn after we got into it, which often happens with old homes. Everyone came together, came up with a new plan, and executed it without drama. The final results are top-notch, probably a bit better than I expected. Even with the changes, the project came in on budget. This is my second project with LaRoche, and I imagine there will be more.”
“In our interactions with these individuals, we were met with an unwavering kindness and a diligent effort to cater to our every need and desire, a testament to their professionalism and humanity. Alas, due to the constraints of our domestic situation, we found ourselves regrettably unable to proceed with our intended construction. Yet, even as we announced our need to indefinitely suspend our plans, their graciousness did not waver; they remained as courteous and understanding as ever. It is without a shred of hesitation that I extend my highest commendation for their services—a recommendation I do not issue lightly.”
“We highly recommend LaRoche Builders. Owner Andrew, his crew & office staff are professional & friendly. Andrew was involved in each step of the build running the business like a well oiled machine. Andrew & site mgr Brandon were always ready to answer all questions & address all concerns. They took the stress out of a new home build. A shout out to carpenters Steve & Billy with their quality work & attention to detail. LaRoche Builders made our log house build into a true dream home.”
