We had the pleasure of working with Charlie and Cathy Little of Fairhaven Homes, who built our house on the side of a mountain in Clarke County between August 2017 - April 2018. One expects their builder (and their team) to be proficient, professional, and take pride in their work. Fairhaven did not disappoint! With Charlie, Cathy, and their highly skilled team, you get so much more. Not only do they build a superior fully custom home, their creativity and excellent practical suggestions, as well as their flawless craftsmanship, surpassed all of our expectations. We had a clear vision of what we wanted - it was a little off the beaten path - and Charlie and Cathy understood us at the early design phase, which enabled them to offer unique solutions, additional complementary details and materials, and accents which definitely enhanced the final product. We liked that they offered a fixed price contract with clearly defined allowances where appropriate, and together we were able to only need a handful of change orders driven by additional details and services we desired as the house took shape. WE LOVED how much, how well, and how responsive their communication was! There were no surprises and the few concerns were discussed, solutions recommended, and closed out. During the build, friends would stop by to see the progress. While all were complimentary, one spent his career in the local residential construction business and he could not say enough about the quality he saw in our Fairhaven home. We dreamed and sketched ideas for this home for many years and are blessed to have found Fairhaven (thanks Joan and Mick!) Homes. Charlie and Cathy delivered more than we dared to hope, with lots of smiles, laughter, and in a stress-free relationship that explains much of the success they've had for 20 years.

“This was the first house that we designed and built ourselves – a daunting task – but was made possible by Charlie and Cathy at Fairhaven Homes. From the start of the project and then all the way through they worked in a truly collaborative fashion. They took the time to get to know us, understand our style and ideas and were always available to help, counsel and direct. When issues arose – as they are bound to with any project like this – not only did they inform us immediately and explain about the issue, but were always ready with a solution. When our ideas weren’t practical – or would break the bank - they always had an alternative to propose that was either as good as or better than our original plan. We initially had concerns about all of the permits and approvals necessary – because of his reputation for quality, Charlie was able to obtain them all seamlessly. All of the workmen and craftsmen they brought to work on the project were top notch – they were true professionals with a pride in what they did – which resulted in an impeccable attention to detail and finish. To top it all, not only are they ultimate professionals, they are also genuinely nice people and were a pleasure to work and spend time with. We can’t thank them enough for building with us the house of our dreams.Since finishing the job several years ago, they have continued to provide advice and help whenever we have needed it - their after service has been way beyond great ! ”
Having gone through several major renovations on our homes, we wanted to build a custom home to better fit our needs. We decided to interview at least three builders before making a decision. Our first meeting was with Charlie and Cathy Little of Fairhaven Homes. Walking out of that meeting we knew we had found our builder and did not once regret that decision! Having a general idea of what we wanted in a house, Charlie and Cathy were able put together the plans and make it happen. Throughout the entire design, build, and finish process, we were constantly amazed at the patience and responsiveness they exhibited with all the changes and additions we made. They listened well and responded with solutions keeping with the design of the house. They have a high level of knowledge of the industry and new trends in both the construction and details of the home. The contractors onsite for Fairhaven worked extremely well together, like a team. Anytime we stopped by the worksite, there would be friendly banter and lots of hard work! The quality of workmanship throughout the entire house is impressive. We are thrilled to be able to call it our home! After two years of living in the house, we have not had a single issue and if we did, we know Charlie would be right over to take care of it. We highly recommend Fairhaven Homes if you are in the market for a high quality, custom home!
I wanted to follow up with a review from the perspective of having lived in our home for a while. Fairhaven Homes completed our retirement home in October 2014 and the quality and workmanship continue to show their value. We get 30-40 mph winds year-round and 65 plus mph winds in the winter and have had as much as 48 inches” of snow – inside the house you’d never know it. Over the past five years we have occasionally called Charlie or Cathy with a question and have always gotten a prompt response and good advice. It was obvious to us watching Charlie and his tradesmen build our house that they cared and were proud of the work they were doing – that work ethic has certainly paid off. Also, I continue to appreciate Cathy’s \how will it be to live in\ perspective that she brought to the \this is how you build it\ process. We couldn’t be happier.
