Client Feedback

My wife and I had a vision for a ranch home in the country and started our search for a quality builder shortly after finding our land. After touring several new model homes, we were drawn to one of Jim's homes based on the quality of craftsmanship, design elements, and the EnergyStar ratings. Of the builders we talked to, Jim was the only one that seemed confident in the total building process timeframe, and that was important to us since we were moving our kids to a new school district. In the end, although we started our home a little late due to our extensive lot preparation, Jim and his team stayed ahead of schedule all the way to completion and we still finished our beautiful home on time! What also impressed us is how the entire team and subcontractors really worked together as if they were one company. When I had a question, concern, or design change they were there to answer us quickly. Now that the house is complete, we have access directly to the contractors who built our home to get any issues resolved quickly and easily. Jim obviously takes care of his team and they in turn take great care of the clients! Bottom line, you may find someone to build your house cheaper. But I doubt you'll find a builder who cares more about his clients and the finished product.

“We have owned 9 homes in our lives, 4 of which were new construction. This house has been a great joy! The Moline team did provide a “superior building experience” from start to finish. Well done to all of you.”

— Tom Miles

“I truly didn't want to build due to the horror stories I have heard, but you truly made the process seamless.”

— Tricia Barnhart

“We feel truly blessed to have built our dream home with Jim Moline and his incredible team. We love our neighborhood in Deer Valley and sharing our home with friends and family.”

— Kathy Gabel

“We have definitely enjoyed the process and the professionalism everyone works with in and out of the house everyday. You guys build an unbelievable home.”

— Miranda & Bruce Gradkowski

“Thank you so much for the gift basket but more importantly thank you for taking such pride in the detail of our home. We feel like we are on vacation each and everyday. We really do appreciate that you give so much care in the little details.”

— Bob & Lori Ritter

“We are the neighbors directly to the north of your property. Just a quick note to compliment and thank you for the exceptional crew you have working there. I have never heard even one swear word and when our dogs are being a bit too barky, no one has ever yelled at them or complained. The construction has never been a bother or inconvenient to us in any way. The crew sometimes has a radio playing and I enjoy their taste in music and I think I may hear singing now and again, he has quite a nice singing voice! We also greatly appreciate that there isn't any debris blowing over into our property."

"Jim, thank you for being a great honest person. We have loved this whole process. I told Brian I am ready to do it again! He said - No, start working on the barn to keep yourself busy! We will be calling you in about 5 years for building our barn!"

— Jen & Brian Creque

— Kevin Brender

“It has been an incredible experience and one I cannot truly put into words. I find myself continuously remarking on the amazing craftsmanship, professionalism and process. It made it look so easy when in fact I know there are many people behind the scenes making it happen.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for the gift basket. You were a great builder to work with and I would recommend you to anyone that is looking to build a house.”

— Jim Heiman

“Nancy and I have enjoyed living in the home you built for us. Besides the outstanding quality of workmanship and overall beauty of the home, it is the most comfortable home we have ever owned. It is virtually draft free in both winter heating and summer cooling. I have attached for your use the cost of the utilities for this home compared in dollars to our prior home over the past nine years. It is very difficult to compare costs due to the increase in energy cost however my feeling is a saving over our prior comparable square footage house.”

— Jon & Nancy Miller

“I moved into my new home built by Jim Moline in January 2007. Due to Jim's energy efficient building, my heating and cooling bills have been significantly lower than in my previous homes even though fuel costs are higher. My house holds the heat so well that I am able to keep the temperature set a few degrees lower than I had in the past."

— Konnie Bostleman

"Our experience with you and your network of outstanding trades professionals from the time we started the process until we took possession of our villa was nothing short of exceptional. From the sales experience and the choosing of our lot, through the contracting, architectural design and exterior/interior features phase and all the way to the "nitty gritty" of finishing details, the process was pleasurable while challenging, especially since we did most of the coordination from 2000 miles away. Without hesitation, we highly recommend you to others who are looking to build in the Toledo area. Your process, your sub contractors, your quality standards, your attention to detail and the finished stand alone villa are truly outstanding."

— Tip Parker & Bob Zlasney

“I know you have models you utilize, but feel free to call on us to show your work at this house to anyone - we are exceptionally proud to have chosen you and would do our best to convey that a million times over.”

— Dr. Rob & Dawn Steirwalt

“Jim, I wanted to send you a note and thank you for replacing the trees along side of my Villa. Although it might not have been anything you did or didn't do you are a man of your word and I appreciate that. Whenever I speak with anyone about you I tell them you can count on Jim to follow through and do what he says he will do.”

— Carol & Sue Happ

“After living in our new home for more than a year we have to tell you how pleased we are with it. We had no idea that an Energy Star home meant exactly that! Our utility bills have dropped dramatically and we are so pleased with the craftsmanship that went into our home. Your service and final move in has been nothing but the best, Thanks for making building a positive experience."

— Carl & Mary Anderson

"What a great experience we had building our home with you. From the time we broke ground to our first night we haven't had one problem. You truly have a great gift to make people feel like they are the only one you are building for at that time. Your team is a fine machine."

— Ken & Cathy Rowe

“Jim, I wanted to thank you for first returning my phone call and then fixing a problem we had with our toilet. You built our home 10 years ago and I didn't think I would get any response when I called. Thanks and I wish you the best.”

— Dr. Dave Hoover

“We are extremely happy with our Villa. The overall design and quality of workmanship is the best we have ever seen. It is easy to understand why you have won so many awards for your work. You do quality work and have an exceptional team assembled who not only are craftsmen but know how to interact with the public. Linda and I are thankful that we had an opportunity to purchase the unit and live in such a wonderful home and neighborhood.”

— Jeff & Linda Whitlock

In this hurry up, get it done world, assembling a team that is friendly, hardworking, talented and who care about the quality of their work rarely happens anymore. We appreciate your guidance, experience, patience, and most of all the friendship that has developed.”

— Mark & Kelly Murray

"Just thought we would share with you a few thoughts regarding our "Five Star Energy Home" here in Deer Valley Villas. Keeping the ever rising cost of energy in mind, our utility bills here in Deer Valley are lower than the last two homes we lived in for the twenty-one years prior to moving here, and both homes theoretically had "high efficiency" furnaces. We are always comfortable, even in the worst weather conditions, and the installation and operation of the furnace is such that you cannot even hear it run. In closing, we have been and continue to be, very pleased with our home from a utilities cost efficiency and comfort level standpoint. Keep up the excellent work."

— Bud & Bonnie Clark

“Ann tells me that 3 of your guys showed up here bright and early yesterday to repair our siding (wind damaged). That is going above and beyond what I would ever expect from a builder. We really appreciate you doing this. I can't repay you in a specialized trade, but I will continue very positive word-of-mouth, encouraging people to do work with you because they can trust your word as well as your work. It remains a pleasure living in Deer Valley Villas.”

— Tom & Ann Baker

“Thank you for your sincerity and honesty in building our new home in Stone Oak. Your professional attention is greatly appreciated.”

— Dr. Jay Galani

“On time and on budget is just the beginning with James E. Moline Builders. I found Jim to be the most ethical person I have ever dealt with. Jim literally, "puts the quality in from the beginning". His homes can proudly be called Your Home."

— Mike & Chris Landin

"It's been almost 2 years since you built our home in Greycliff". This was our first building experience and we loved every minute of it. Working with suppliers was a breeze, since each one had such high praise for Jim. The highest compliment we could pay is that if we ever build another house we will only be getting one bid. That will be from Moline Builders."

— Dr. & Mrs. John Detrick

“Jim was a delight to work with. We had complete trust in his judgment and he was always available when we needed him. He has become a trusted friend and we have had him do other projects for us now that we have been in our home over 5 years.”
