Skarin Custom Homes

Jim Skarin has been incredible! Not only does he build such high quality, attractive homes, he also went above and beyond to serve and guide us in our decisions. He is full of integrity in every way. We could not have been more pleased and highly recommend him.

We engaged Skarin Custom Homes to construct our residence, a decision we ultimately regret. In our assessment, we encountered substantial imperfections in Skarin's craftsmanship, necessitating extensive repairs and corrections. Regrettably, these issues have resulted in significant unexpected expenses, costing us thousands of dollars in remedial work. Skarin has asserted that they are under no obligation to address these workmanship concerns beyond rectifying city code violations. Furthermore, the Skarin contract imposes severe limitations on their warranty for the completed work. One notable concern was Skarin's inadequate budgeting for the project. Numerous instances arose where unforeseen expenses cropped up, revealing that the initial estimate provided by Skarin failed to accurately encompass the comprehensive project costs. Additionally, Skarin omitted substantial elements of work outlined in our architect's plans without informing us, further exacerbating the issues. Throughout the duration of the project, we found our interactions with Jim Skarin were marked by abrasiveness and a lack of cooperation. In our estimation, Skarin's performance exhibited significant shortcomings in communication, budgetary accuracy, project execution, and overall work quality. Would not recommend.

We hired Jim to build a new custom home for us. The experience could not have been better. Jim worked so hard for us to make sure we got everything we wanted in our new home. He had great subcontractors and coordinated them to get us a great final product delivered on time! We had a complicated home with built in bookcases and special wood columns and he handled it all. He was a great guy to work with on the project and has been great since it was completed. He is always there if I have questions about maintenance or anything.

If you are looking to build a home or do a complete remodel, look no further than Jim Skarin of Skarin Custom Homes. I previously renovated my whole condo (two baths, kitchen, floors, trim, etc), and that turned out to be a disaster (my GC was horrible), so I was much more diligent this time when deciding the GC to use for my whole home renovation. Jim is honest, courteous and transparent during the whole process. His subs did amazing work, and the pricing was more than fair. Jim turned a home with great bones into my dream home. We renovated the bathrooms, kitchen, floors, trim, paint...the whole house. Attached are some before and after pictures for you. I know its hard to believe what you find online, but if you are considering building a home or doing a complete remodel, you would be doing yourself a favor by calling Jim.
