Testimonials

Overall our experience building our home was a very good one.  We would say that the biggest factor in deciding the purchase was the lot location in Farmington and Nelson Construction's reputation.  However, upon the initial meetings with Chris we were pleased that energy efficiency was a high priority and that these homes would be considered "Green".  We were also happy that Chris was willing to work with us and Waldo with the installation of the solar panels.  To date, we are pleased with the energy decisions that were made on the house.  Our gas bill this past winter (which was very cold) was lower than anticipated and our solar panels ( energized January 2009) have continued to produce more electricity than we are using.  We have also noted that the large windows and positioning of them add an abundance of light to the home, thus decreasing the amount of electricity needed during the day.  We were confident with Nelson construction pushing the limits on energy efficiency based on their reputation of standing behind their construction and the research that was conducted on these new technologies.

When I was buying into the Bradford Walk community I wasn't sure what   lay ahead; I cared a great deal about the quality of the home I'd be buying, I'd never lived in a condominium community before, and I was making this move as a new resident to the state.  What I've learned in these past 1-1/2 years since I took ownership is that I made a wonderful life decision and a wise home investment.

Having purchased both a resale and a newly constructed home in the past, I have been nothing short of delighted with my comparative experience as a buyer from Nelson Construction.  Not only are the Nelsons and their entire staff caring and reputable professionals but the quality of these structures is superb, the craftsmanship expert, and the integrity of the Nelsons to stand behind their product and this community has continued as ever apparent.  We have an elected board of residents who oversees the association management and funding in ways that communicate intelligence, responsiveness, and prudence.  And, also highly important but on a more social level, we continue to grow as a strong community of neighbors, respectful yet supportive in ways that make life here a very pleasant experience.  I have never regretted my decision, and I actually feel quite fortunate to have chosen Bradford Walk as my new home.

Our experience with Nelson Construction was wonderful.  This was our first time building.  From design through construction and even after closing their entire organization were professional and a pleasure to work with.  Chris and Mary-Ellen showed flexibility through-out the process which made our journey very manageable.  We received high quality, value for our investment, and a well planned energy efficient home constructed with many new technologies.  We love our new home.
