“Dan surpassed all expectations and made our custom homebuilding dreams come true.”

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 recommend Dan & Kelly to anyone looking for the best builder and designer duo who will deliver with amazing quality, on time, and on budget.”

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.

“We spent a lot of time researching homebuilders in the area before we purchased our home and quickly discovered that Sierra Homes has a long history of constructing homes on the Eastside. This experience is reflected in the quality of homes they build.”

We worked with Sierra Homes in 2017 to purchase a home under construction. Dan and the Sierra Homes team were terrific to work with and let us customize certain aspects of the home (cabinets, flooring, finishes). Both the quality of the construction and the finishes in the home are outstanding. 

While the timeline with residential construction is always difficult to predict, Sierra Homes was able to stay on track throughout construction and completed the house on the original schedule. With all of the residential development activity currently in the Seattle area there is a clear difference in terms of quality of construction. 

We spent a lot of time researching homebuilders in the area before we purchased our home and quickly discovered that Sierra Homes has a long history of constructing homes on the Eastside and this experience is reflected in the quality of homes they build.  As this was our third newly constructed house that we purchased, we had some prior experience with buying new construction and our home that Sierra Homes built is at the top of the list both in terms of quality and experience.
