Hallmark Homes Inc.

Each year we’d attend the Parade of Homes and always be drawn to the unique and distinct style of Hallmark Homes. However, building a house wasn’t something we were interested in because we had heard so many horror stories. After over two years of searching for a new home to meet our growing family’s needs, we nervously decided to bite the bullet and build the house we wanted. From our very first meeting with Scott, we were confident and comfortable we made the right decision to build with Hallmark and those feelings only grew after continuing through the process. Stress-free and enjoyable are two words we never thought we’d use to describe building a house, but Scott and Vicki made it just that. Not only did they build us an extraordinary home, but the house was finished weeks ahead of schedule. It is obvious they only work with the best contractors and only accept the highest quality of work. They involved us in every step of the process and we never felt “in the dark” about anything. Yes, they’re experts at their craft, but they are also kind, honest, and genuine people. From going to swearing to never build a house, to now swearing we’ll never build another house without Hallmark Homes (which we plan to do someday), we could not be more pleased with our beautiful home!

We have worked with Scott and Vicki at Hallmark Homes for over 11 years. They put passion and dedication into each and every home that they build. Scott and Vicki are masters at building a relationship with their clients and getting every detail in their home just what they desire to have. They will go the extra mile for each and every project and every home they build is specific to the home owner.

This is the 2nd home Hallmark Homes has built for us. I have had people say how stressful building a home is. We can honestly say that both times Scott and Vicki made it fun and exciting. They always had our best interests in mind and provided change orders as things got changed, so there were no surprises at the end with an inflated price. We appreciated being able to stop by the site at any time to view the progress. Scott and Vicki are such a great team! Scott along with Mike (their supervisor/project manager), were on the site to see that everything was going according to plan and checking back with us if there was anything in question. Vicki did excellent with keeping us informed of the building stages and also what the next thing was we needed to get together and decide on (lights, flooring, cabinets, etc.). We very much appreciated having Vicki’s expertise with picking out all the various interior details. They used their creativity to specially create a design in our dining room ceiling that was a mimic of the dining room light & turned out awesome! Building both our homes with Hallmark Homes has been such a great experience & we would recommend them highly to anyone looking to build a home!

We selected Hallmark Homes to build our home and were very pleased with the results. Working with Vicki and Scott was both enjoyable and very productive. They took our ideas and made them reality. The quality of their work and their expertise is what prompted us to select them to build our "dream" home. Working with them was such a pleasant experience. They kept us well informed of what was going on through-out the whole process and assisted us in making decisions about details that we were not sure about. What impressed us most about our experience working with Vicki and Scott is that they never lost focus on the fact that the project was based on what we wanted and our ideas. They respected our ideas and enhanced them with their commitment to do the best they could with the budget we had.

We moved into our Hallmark home in November of 2013. We began working with Scott and Vicki about a year before that. We had our wish list and some floor plan ideas. Scott was very accommodating and added other great ideas to compliment what we already had. Their attention to detail is very impressive. An example of that was suggesting to reverse the floor plan after Scott was out at the building site. The reversed floor was strictly aesthetics so we could see the best features of the house as we drove up. As the home was being constructed additional suggestions were made such as adding windows to improve natural lighting and the appearance of the house. Vicki was amazing to work with. Her extensive knowledge of finishing materials was very helpful. She knew what we liked and made suggestions on color, materials, and finishes. She made great suggestions such as looking for bathroom vanities that look like furniture rather than the normal cabinetry. All of their subcontractors were friendly and very professional. We have been living in our home for about one and half years now and we still enjoy it as much as the day we first moved in. We would definitely recommend Hallmark Homes to anyone looking to build their dream house.

We just completed our home with Hallmark Homes a few weeks ago. I can not express to you enough in this small review just how happy we are with the finished product! Scott and Vicki were so easy to deal with, and they made every step of the process enjoyable. From the very first visit, all the way until completion, they made us feel like everything was about us and what we wanted, to make this a truly custom home. We had built another house 3 years ago, so we felt like we were very educated on the building process, and made sure to look over everything with a fine tooth comb. Scott and Vicki encouraged us to be at the house during the process as much as we wanted, and also told us to ask any questions or point out anything during the construction that we were unsure about. That made us feel like we were a part of the project. I also want to point out that many times Scott would call us and ask if we told a contractor to do something a certain way because he wanted to be sure it was what we wanted. If it was the way we wanted great, if not he would call the contractor and tell them to come back and do it again. The attention to detail that they paid to this house project was incredible, and because of that we got a house that we are so proud of, and feel like the quality and craftsmanship is second to none!! Their availability was also something to be praised. They were always available either by phone, or email, even on a Friday evening at 10 PM to calm down a customer and assure her that they would make a change by adding a few windows to the front of our home to complete a look that we felt like we may have overlooked! I definitely feel like most builders would not have done that!! If you and your family are looking to build a home, Scott and Vicki Moran are the people to call. We would be comfortable sending our closest friends and relatives to do business with them, in fact we would insist on it. They build the highest quality homes that people are proud to go home to each and every day. I know we sure are!! Thanks again to Scott and Vicki:)

We wanted to build a summer home in the Bismarck area and contacted several builders until an acquaintance recommended Hallmark Homes. We never looked any further....we knew we had finally found the right builder. We also knew it would be a challenge building a home "long-distance", however Scott and Vicki made it stress-free. There was constant communication, pictures, emails etc from them and we were never in doubt about what was happening on our home. Timelines were closely followed and met by them and all contractors. After the house was completed and we saw it for the first time, it exceeded our expectations - even though we were kept "in the loop" on everything. Living for a few years away from the area, we were not used to seeing the quality that was clearly put into our house. We can absolutely recommend Hallmark Homes to be your builder, without reservation!

Words alone cannot express the gratitude we have for Scott and Vicki of Hallmark Homes. Their knowledge and expertise from start to finish far exceeded our expectations. Our journey with them began about 5 years before we even built our home when we met for the first time at a Parade of Homes tour. We loved the unique architecture yet completely livable spaces that they created. We followed them for 5 years and they took the time to visit with us at every home we visited during that time-not once pushing us away even though they knew we were not ready. When we were finally ready to build, they were there to help us from lot purchase to closing day and beyond. So much time and effort was put into every detail from the hinges on the doors to the complete layout of the home. They took our wants and needs and put it together perfectly. We love our home and couldn't be happier!

Dear Scott and Vicki, Many people say that building a house is one of the most stressful things in life. Those people obviously did not build with Hallmark! Building with you was one of the most fun and exciting things we have done. People also say you have to build one house so you can get it right the second time building. Not true with Hallmark! With your help we got it right the first time. You listened to what we needed and wanted and told us what we didn’t even know we needed, which resulted in a house that is perfect for us. The most important thing for us was finding a builder we could trust. At our very first meeting we really felt that we could trust you and you did not disappoint. It was clear during the entire building process that you have the highest level of integrity and honesty. We always felt like you had our best interests at heart and we never felt “surprised” by hidden costs or things not included. You treated us absolutely fairly. Your passion for building really came through. Your input and guidance on the design of our house was invaluable. You helped us refine our list of wants and needs and gave us ideas that fit our family perfectly. Your excitement for coming up with both fun and practical ideas was great. We also could never have picked all the finishes that work so well together without your help and guidance. Having you with us picking out selections and then reviewing them together was a huge asset. We know you had other projects going on but we never felt like it. We really appreciated your personal service and attention to us. You take great pride in the craftsmanship of your homes. We also cannot say enough about your great subcontractors. They were all established and reputable businesses with guys who really care about their work and who take pride in a job well done. We could relax very early on knowing that you do things the right way. Knowing that you used high quality materials, great subs and that you didn’t cut corners to save a buck is very comforting. The entire construction process moved smoothly without the delays or the horror stories we have all heard. It was very reassuring to see somebody onsite doing something virtually every day. We are very grateful you built for us. You care about the homes you build and the people who will live in them. We have no doubt you are the best builder in Bismarck and you earned every penny. We knew the house was going to be nice, but you blew us away with the finished product. You met and exceeded all expectations. The house is stunning and is our dream home. We look forward to raising the kids there and making lots of great memories. If we ever build again, you will be our first call for sure and we will continue to enthusiastically refer people who ask us about building to you. We would be happy to serve as a reference for you for future customers and are happy to show people the work you did for us. Best Regards, The Nelsons

Quality work, reasonable price, delivery on time, best advice. Best of all great people to work with who involve you in building your dream home.

We were moving to Bismarck in May of 2014 and had some time to have a house built for us. We met with a few builders, Scott and Vicki were the first people we met with. When we left that meeting we knew right away they were the people we wanted to build our house with, and our experience only got better! We lived out of town so we were not able to go to the house often during the construction. We got at least weekly updates and we were always kept informed about what was going on. Whenever we were able to visit the house during construction we always left with a feeling that it was better than we expected! We are so happy with our home and with Scott and Vicki' s ideas. The house is perfect for our family. Scott and Vicki were so easy to work with and it was always fun to have Vicki helping us pick out things for the interior! We have a beautiful high quality house that we are proud of. Scott and Vicki went beyond all of our expectations!

Working with Hallmark was our best decision . They made our project fun and easy. Their professionalism was phenomenal! The quality of their work shows in our beautiful home. Their entire team is exceptional in what they do and the relationships we made will never be forgotten. We recommend Hallmark when ever it presents.Michelle & Rod Sandvig
