Battlefield Homes Inc

I am so thrilled with my new house and choosing Battlefield homes as my builder. I definitely did my research and checked the builders around the area and while a few were recommended, Allen and the team understood my vision. The lot was a challenge but after working with an engineer to finalize the proper grading and water concerns, we were able to move forward. Allen met me at the lot to ensure the best location and position of the house. My take on a "Modern Ranch" and the very specific details were discussed from the beginning and throughout the process. Allen, Bernadette and Sam were present in my meeting to change the floor plan, move walls and take advantage of every possible space. While making the many choices from cabinetry, flooring, doors and exterior, Bernadette took all my questions and calls to ensure I was comfortable. She like the entire team were very responsive and called back promptly. While I finalized on a very dark grey for my siding with all black accents, I really had my heart set on black siding but it wasn't an option. As the new 2023 colors were sent for siding, the team were pretty sure that "Tuxedo" would be a great choice for me. They called me to see if I wanted to view the sample and was able to make the change before it was ordered. Those special things stood out to me that every attention to detail which was important to me, was important to them! Once the clearing and foundation were poured, every aspect moved along pretty smooth. Neighbors commented on the daily activity of the property. Every time I visited, it was clean and in order. I also can't thank Steve enough by contacting me with window trim questions or clarifications as well as sending updated pictures with the progress. He ensured every exterior plate or vent which were white, were painted black to blend with the entire look. The house looks amazing! I would highly recommend Allen and Battlefield Homes to anyone who wants a team that makes this huge process run as smooth as possible. Karen Wilson

Our new home is a dream come true. From the beginning, Allen Harrison the owner of Battlefield Home went above and beyond for us. He met us the first time on a rainy Sunday Morning at our lot and talked to us about what we could do. We then came up with the home we wanted and Allen designed it. We worked closely together in the design. They were very good about any changes we wanted. We then met with Allen and the team, Bernie, Sam, Wallace, Mike and Steve. Melissa handled the money process and she is fabulous. We never felt like customers. We have been treated as part of a family. Due to the Pandemic, it took a year to build. Bernie was the man to help us pick out the outside items, then scheduled us with the contractors for appliances, cabinets, flooring, counter tops and what ever the home needed. Wallace then took over getting the lot ready and getting the foundation done. Mike then took over in getting the home built from the floor to the roof and the interior. He was very hands on, and always worked with us on any questions. We love our home and would recommend Battlefield Homes to anyone. Bill and Julie McCauley

Thank you to Battlefield Homes for building our forever home. After we got married in 2019, my wife and I decided to set down roots here in Virginia and build a custom home on my family’s old farm. We first met with Allen in January of 2020 and he was incredibly helpful from the start to finish. After our first meeting, he offered to come out to our land and help scout out potential build sites. This was before we had a contract or even a house plan! He then proceeded to help us every step of the way through the design process. Our dream house was not overly elaborate, but we did know what we wanted, and Allen and his team worked relentlessly to provide us with exactly that. Throughout the building process, Battlefield Homes communicated clearly about what was going on, and promptly addressed all questions and concerns that we may have had to our satisfaction. The team at Battlefield Homes strived for excellence and achieved it by building our dream house on time and on budget, a fact all the more remarkable considering what trying times it was built in. We have been in our home for six months now, and we wouldn’t change a thing about. Thank you, Ike & Amy C.

Battlefield Homes, Inc is an excellent team to work with. We met Allen, Bernie, Sam, and Melissa back in Nov. 2018. We presented our own home plan to Allen and with a few minor adjustments, he drew up our final single level home. They all were very patient with us for a little over a year until we finally sold our previous home doing the pandemic (COVID). The Battlefield Homes team were finally able to start our new home mid to late 2020. Meeting and working with the Construction Managers, Wallace, Mike and Steve was awesome. They kept us informed of any delays and informed us when the next scheduled project will be starting. Made suggestions for best work for our needs. They are most accommodating, caring and extremely patient during the whole process. They all made themselves available when we had questions, concerns or changes in a timely and professional manner, either by phone, office visit, or meeting on-site. The vendors were also very accommodating. They listened to our wants and needs of selections and made it happen. COVID impacted the whole country from suppliers to subcontractors. There were many delays doing the country’s shutdown. Allen and his team made sure to do their best keeping us informed of any changes and delays doing the whole process. If you want a custom home builder, we highly recommend Battlefield Homes, Inc. We truly enjoyed working with them. Allen and his team made us feel like family doing the whole process. We have been in our new home for 3 months now and loving every bit of square feet. Thank you Allen and the whole Battlefield Homes staff for building our new and final home. The Lewis Family

We were greatly blessed to find Battlefield Homes! We purchased waterfront property 29 years ago. It was our dream to build and retire on it throughout the intervening years. We wanted a special home and had worked with an architect to design our “dream” house. As retirement approached, we couldn’t find a builder we liked. Then we found the Battlefield. Our first meeting with Battlefield was exceptional. Their office was bright and cheery, and the folks were polite and welcoming. When we began discussing our house with the Battlefield president, Allen, we braced for rejection of our custom plans. Instead, he complimented them and carefully went through the plans and our goals. As we worked with Battlefield, we gave Allen our budget. He said that our plans, as drawn, would cost more than our budget, but he would upload the essence into his house design program and see what he could do to meet our budget. In the end, the floor plan was almost identical to our original plans - and the house met our budget! We signed a contract and got rolling. Allen planned to finish the house within a year. Construction began and almost immediately Battlefield had to address unexpected county demands. Battlefield persuaded the county that the additional, costly, demands were unnecessary for our house’s location. Battlefield zealously kept things moving despite ordinary impediments. As promised, the house was finished within a year of ground-breaking. For our project, Battlefield had a series of three site supervisors, Wallace, Mike, and Steve. Each specialized in ensuring quality construction for different phases of the project. The site supervisors have clearly been chosen for their outstanding knowledge and skills during different phases of construction. We had read that Battlefield uses many of the same subcontractors for every project. We witnessed this in our project and were thankful Allen doesn’t just look for the lowest priced subcontractors. During construction, we had several special requests and changes. The Battlefield lead for such matters is Bernie. Bernie patiently worked with us to incorporate special sentimental items into the house and quickly develop associated change orders. As the project approached completion, we fretted that we wouldn’t find all of the inevitable little problems that were missed at the final inspection. So, we looked very closely at everything! The site supervisor at this phase, Steve, patiently addressed our comments and concerns. Battlefield’s quality customer service didn’t end after the final payment. Allen and Steve diligently helped us to replace a refrigerator that was not cooling adequately and get prompt repairs to a back-up generator that was not connecting to the house’s wiring. It is this type of care and concern for the client - and their home - that makes Battlefield Homes a great company. We were very blessed to work with Battlefield!

Working with the Battlefield team this last year was such a positive experience. They took on our project, which no other builder was willing to accept, and did a tremendous job with it. We picked one of the stock plans (Old Glory), made some minor changes and the result is a wonderful layout. The team is wonderful, from the initial meetings with Allen. Throughout the project, Allen kept us informed on cost against planned expenses.

Battlefield homes did an outstanding job building our custom home in Lake Anna. They were very responsive and had strong communication skills. When the home was complete, the workmanship was outstanding. They were well organized and always available to address our questions. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to build a custom home!

My wife and I had Battlefield Homes build our retirement home. We could not have been more pleased. From designing the home to the finished product Allen and his team were caring ,courteous ,responsive and had our best interest in mind during the entire process. A terrific experience. Thank you Battlefield Homes !!!!

Simply said, Battlefield Homes is fantastic. First time home builders and Battlefield Homes went above and beyond our expectations. They are the A Team, easy to work with, always available, and timely response in addressing any issues. Our dream home is awesome!

We began with 3 builders in the central Virginia area that we found in our search for the right home builder. As first time buyers we checked references, checked for complaints against Virginia Builders with state compliance offices and spoke with references. Battlefield had great references and recommendations. We didn't find any red flags when looking into their reputation or complaints. We liked their transparency. We let them know that we were speaking with other builders and Allen was not pushy at all, and encouraged us to continue in our pursuit until we found someone who best fit our needs and checked all our boxes. We had a house plan in mind that we had from a site on the internet. We liked many of the plans that Battlefield offered, but we really wanted the layout and design that we had found. Battlefield was happy to work with us on that and had no issue with us bringing our own design. They even made many suggestions on tweaking things with minor design issues and were able to amend the floor plan to meet our request perfectly. We liked their willingness to work and get us what WE wanted, versus what they had to offer. One thing that stuck out about Battlefield was that they work with the same contractors for years. What we found with other builders was that they were sub-contracting everything out to the lowest big and didn't have a core team of people. We appreciated that Allen knew the work and reputation of the contractors he was using and had long standing relationships with them. This really put us at ease. So after coming to the decision to work with Allen and Battlefield, which came in at the lowest price for our plans.....the fun began. We signed our contract January 2018 with a projected start date of June 2018 (our choice). The first step in our custom home build was working with Bernie (Lead selection guy) and Sam. THEY ARE AN AWESOME TEAM!! First off, they deal with the same selection vendors so they have it down to a science. The Battlefield standard package is very good and is head and tails above your cookie cutter home builder package. Battlefield's standard build is significantly better than anyone else we looked into. The upgrades we choose and things we added to the plan were not surprises to us, and we felt in total control of how things went in terms of pricing. Their combined experience and expertise really assisted us and they helped us with every step. When we made one selection that didn't go well with the other, Bernie was right there to point out conflicting styles and made wonderful suggestions, all while telling us we can go with whatever choice we want. We are very thankful for many of his design ideas and attention to detail on so many things we would have overlooked. We have since moved into our new home and it truly is everything we wanted and the build quality is top notch. Even after taking occupancy, Allen and his team have followed up to make sure everything was ok and that all the final details were accomplished. So if you’re looking for a builder of your dream home in the central Virginia area, Battlefield Homes is an easy choice!

Battlefield Homes built our dream home. Building a custom home can be a stressful experience under any circumstances, but building a modern design comes with even more challenges. The design was so modern that four other builders refused to build it. Allen was able to see our vision and make it a reality. He was there with us throughout every aspect of the design build process. He went with us to county meetings when we had to take on zoning glitches. He solved design and engineering challenges, and worked with unusual building materials, including industrial roofing, fiber cement siding, and a 300- pound steel barn door for the interior. He and his team’s workmanship and attention to detail was evident throughout the process. Communication throughout the entire home building experience was excellent, including weekly meetings with us, and phone calls. He was always available to answer our questions, researched any issues we raised, problem-solved quickly, and provided us with prompt responses. If we drove him nuts with our obsessive attention to details, he never showed it. I really appreciate his patience at those times when we losing ours. He was very transparent with the costs, explaining overages and our options, so we always had a clear understanding of what we were undertaking. This house had many unknowns at the onset, so 11% total overage is understandable. I have total trust in his integrity. Through all of it, he wanted this to be the house that we would love living in, and went out of his way to not only ensure our satisfaction, but for us to be thrilled with the end result. He definitely pulled that off—the house has exceeded our expectations. It was all worth it in the end. I love coming home to this extraordinary home with 60’ of decking, 12’ tall ceilings in the great room, 10’ tall wall of windows, and a custom kitchen designed exactly as I wanted it. I expect all his customers have the same experience. We have received numerous compliments on the house from neighbors and friends. I recommend Battlefield Homes to anyone wanting to build a high-quality custom home. They are the best.

We cannot say enough good things about Battlefield Homes, Inc. We fondly called them our “Dream Team” and they were, every step of the way. Let me start by saying that my husband is a mechanical engineer that ALWAYS over-engineers what he is designing or working on. When he observed Battlefield’s model home, he was so impressed by its superior craftsmanship that he was sold! But it doesn’t stop there. On top of that, this Dream Team has integrity, professionalism and is creative, honest, courteous, friendly, patient, helpful and truly a pleasure to work with. Sounds too good to be true but it is and that is why Allen, Bernie, Sam, Melissa, Wallace, Mike and Steve all earned our title, Dream Team. We always felt “at home” with Battlefield even before our home was built. At the beginning of our design process, we lived in California. Allen always worked around our schedule with phone calls and emailing design ideas back and forth focusing on every detail that was important to us and making sure to make it so. We were always treated as though we were their most important client. They treated our house with care, as though it was their own. At every step, they were careful to make sure that all of our ideas got considered and helped us to decide on the best solutions to achieve our vision. They were always so helpful in guiding us with their knowledge and years of experience when we had multiple options to consider. Allen and his entire team, were always available when we had any questions, concerns and/or changes. During our selection stage, we were so comforted to hear the amount of respect that their suppliers/subcontractors have for them and how much they enjoy working with Battlefield. This says a lot! We always felt a part of the build process and were always welcome on the site to see the progress being made. We were always kept up-to-date with the latest progress and with each upcoming phase. Any issue that came up during the build process was always handled with our interests first and to our satisfaction. Working with Battlefield’s site supervisors was also a great experience. Wallace, Mike and Steve took such pride in making sure each detail was perfect. Despite being one of Virginia’s wettest years on record, Battlefield worked extremely hard, without compromising on quality, so that we could celebrate and enjoy Thanksgiving in our new Dream Home. As a final result, our Dream Home shows Battlefield Homes’ level of commitment to excellence. Thank you Allen and to your outstanding team for making our dream come true and for the great journey along the way!!! Because of our Dream Team, we will have wonderful memories in our lovely new home! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
