Dan Finkbeiner of Sierra Homes came recommended to us by multiple trusted partners, including our realtor and designer. We are SO grateful for their recommendation. Dan surpassed all expectations and made our custom homebuilding dreams come true. 

His attention to detail, consistent follow through and gentle demeanor, made the process of building our luxury custom home, not just manageable, but enjoyable. From the start of the project, Dan provided us with an incredibly detailed and thorough bid which meant virtually no surprises or unexpected overages. He stuck with us through the tedious permitting process, handled numerous conversations and projects with other partners and vendors, including the City of Renton and PSE on a somewhat unusual frontage improvement project. He worked hand in hand with our designer to ensure our vision was brought to life, even if that meant making a few design tweaks along the way. Finally, Dan is just a kind, honest human being who makes an otherwise stressful process (dare I say) fun!

If you're looking for a homebuilding partner that will make you feel comfortable and confident, go with Sierra Homes.

We are grateful to Dan and Kelly for our beautiful Sierra Homes custom home in lower Kennydale! Since the day we met them, we knew that it would be a wonderful fit to work together. We recommend them to anyone looking for the best builder and designer duo who will deliver with amazing quality, on time, and on budget.

Dan has strong integrity and attention to detail that shows in the quality of the construction. We experienced the mutual respect between Dan and those who worked for him who are experts in their trades. He also holds them accountable to getting the work done right and on time. He was very responsive and proactively communicated when there were risks to timelines from supply chain delays. He made sure that our house passed inspections in time for our move in date. He remained accessible and responsive as we settled into our home. 

Kelly as the designer was incredibly fun and collaborative as she guided us through the decisions that needed to be made. She looked at pictures that I shared on Pinterest and brought them to life in our home. She understood what designs were most important, like a book matched porcelain fireplace, and found ways to help reduce the costs by seeking out the right vendors to get the job done. She understood what we wanted and we trusted her completely with recommendations that have exceeded our expectations and made our house truly special and unique. 

We highly recommend Dan and Kelly Finkbeiner with Sierra Homes for any remodel or custom home project.

Dan is absolutely wonderful to work with. He has a great attention to detail and clearly works to deliver a finished product that is top notch. We love our home! The way he engaged with us through our purchase process made us feel heard and it was clear customer service is important to him.

Dan stands out in a crowd 😊. ⁠We have about 10 rental properties, and have bought/sold many for the last 40 years. So we really do know high quality, exceptional people, and great service when we see it!

After careful and considerable time house hunting, my wife and I found an extremely well built and terrific floor plan by Sierra Homes Inc. We could have bought homes from several other builders, but the fine custom craftsmanship was above and beyond that of other home builders. Having lived in our home since 2019, we could not be happier with the build quality or the customer service provided by Dan and Sierra Homes. We look forward to our next home being built by Sierra Homes wherever we move to next.

We could not recommend Kelly of Sierra Homes more highly. She combines the skills of a creative interior designer with that of an efficient project manager. Her integrity and relational skills made our work with her enjoyable and efficient. She was patient in listening to our desires and then collaborated with us to create something that was far better than what we originally imagined. She has great attention to detail and is able to coordinate those details in a manner that creates design continuity throughout the house while still including the personal touches that we wanted.

Kelly managed multiple tasks with multiple workers in a setting of multiple demands and limitations. She attended to all these with grace, wisdom and strength. And we even laughed and had fun along the way! All throughout Kelly went the extra mile to help with sundry tasks that were needed and always made sure things were done with excellence. We could not have done this home remodel without Kelly and we are so glad that we got to work with someone as gifted as her!

When we were in the market to begin a remodel on our kitchen and downstairs we reached out to several contractors.  We had a set budget and must-haves with your kitchen.  Kelly Finkbeiner with Sierra Homes Remodel & Interior Design Division was fabulous to work with from the very beginning. From our original meeting one of the aspects that stood out to me the most was how she listened to what was important to us from a design perspective. 

We had been trying to figure out how to accomplish what we wanted but kept looking at the space how it was originally set up.  Kelly helped us take a step back and think of the space as a clean slate.  This allowed us the opportunity to reimagine the space and completely change the layout to accomplish our number one priority which was to create an island in our kitchen that would be a gathering place.  We have been in our new kitchen a few weeks now and she absolutely helped us make sure our number one priority was met! We are in love with the newly designed space.

Remodeling a house comes with an inherent set of challenges and stressors (especially when you are living in the house). I would say a critical element of working with Kelly is that she quickly builds trust with her clients by listening to their needs and concerns, communicating continuously, and addressing problems as quickly as possible.  Through the entire process, I felt she was my advocate and made sure my needs and expectations were met.  Kelly communicated regularly and was always available in a reasonable amount of time when I had questions.  She also works as your partner, is always ensuring we would have a great result and was continuously budget conscious.

Another asset Sierra Homes brings is long lasting relationships with subcontractors.  I felt confident with each professional that came to do work in our home.  They were all highly skilled in their trade and consistently kept their commitment on arrival times.  This was a huge relief and helped keep our projects on time.

On a personal level, Kelly is a kind and positive person to work with.  She was always pleasant, had a positive outlook and if there was ever a challenge to overcome, she was always solution oriented. 

I look forward to maintaining contact with Kelly and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family for their home remodel or design needs.
