Our journey with Gatliff started almost two years ago. My husband and I were at a point in our lives where we were looking to make our final move, the one which we call our forever home. Never building a home from the ground up but knowing what we wanted, the hard part was finding the right custom builder. The one who we could trust and who would take all of our ideas along with some of his own to come up with this beautiful home. We interviewed three custom builders, including Gatliff, and knew right from meeting with Randy and Susannah that they would help make our dreams come true. They showed the most passion, interest and desire to meet our expectations and even exceeded them. It didn’t seem like just another house to them. From start to finish they explained every step of the process to us and never promised unrealistic completion dates. Susannah set up all appointments for flooring, plumbing, fixtures and much more. She was there to meet us at these appointments on time making suggestions to help keep us within budget. We have now been living in our custom built Gatliff home since December, 2016 and each day we fall in love a little more. We still find it hard to believe that these were our ideas with Randy’s assistance behind it. We are still both very much in touch with Randy and Susannah, and my husband and I are so glad that Gatliff was the builder we decided to move forward with. His attention to fine details and craftmanship to homes are second to none. We would highly recommend he and his team to anyone looking to build. Gatliff is the builder you want if this is your first journey in building or last. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

My wife and I had never built a house before. We had a lot of anxiety about what specifically we had to do and how we had to do it. Randy Gatliff walked us through every step, and I mean every step, of building our house. When he sat down with us, one of the first things he said was that he would build our house just as if it was his own. With our inexperience, we at first thought that was just a typical line said by home builders, but we soon found out that he truly meant it. From picking our appliances, countertops, colors, bathroom fixtures, brick, roofing- he was there with us when we made each selection. In talking with other people who used other homebuilders, I don’t know of one other builder who was there for every step of the process like Randy was. Any concern we had during the building process was immediately addressed. We often referred to Randy for suggestions on what to do-whether it was the inside or the outside of the house- and every time the suggestion was right on. We can honestly say that we have no complaints at all with Randy Gatliff or the quality of our home. You just don’t get that sincere personal touch these days like you do with Randy Gatliff. Randy didn’t just build us a house; he built us a home that both of us thoroughly enjoy every day.

Growing up in the Wadsworth/Rittman area, Tim and I had always admired the houses built by Gatliff Custom Builders. When we purchased our land several years ago, we knew we wanted to meet with Randy Gatliff because of his excellent reputation and the quality of his work. Several years later, we are now living in our dream home, and it was all made possible by Gatliff Custom Builders. To say that we had a great experience is an understatement. Randy was able to take our ideas and turn them into a beautiful plan that included man of the design elements we were looking for while still staying within our budget. His standard home features were well above our "base grade" options, and we knew that everything we were getting was quality. His hand-picked suppliers were wonderful to work with and made the entire process very smooth and stress-free. Everyone we came in contact with provided a high level of knowledge and expertise in each of their fields. They were respectful, courteous, and fun to work with! Gatliff's project manager, Matt, was equally as wonderful, as he was always at the job site monitoring the day's work and keeping us informed of the next phase of the project. And of course, Randy was there to oversee and advise every step of the way. We greatly appreciated their knowledge and opinions, and without them we we would have been completely overwhelmed with all the decisions that need to be made. We have heard many people say what a nightmare building a house is, but we can honestly say we had a blast doing it. We can't imagine going through this process with anyone else. While there are many "custom" home builders out there, we can guaranteed that our expertise and outcome would not have been as wonderful as it was. We are extremely thankful and proud we had the opportunity to work with Gatliff Custom Builders.
