- Hey Now Everybody,
-
- Just wanted to share some good house building experiences
- with you all.
-
- We are having a house built in Broomfield, CO, just North
- of Denver. The house is being built in a tract by Park
- Homes. Park has several developments throughout the
- Denver area. Our sales rep, Greg Hartman, and his
- assistant, Jennifer, have been fantastic. Greg is easy to
- work with, very detail oriented, and follows through on
- his work. We had several modifications that we made to
- the standard house, including mods that would be
- considered custom. Greg represented us to the Park
- central office and to the builder and managed to get us
- all the mods we had requested at an affordable cost and in
- a timely fashion. After hearing the horror stories from
- others in a similar situation, I feel very fortunate we
- have Greg to work with. For those considering a new house
- purchase in the Broomfield area, you may want to check out
- Park homes and talk to Greg. His number is (303)438-1321.
-
- We took advantage of Paragon Plumbing mail order to
- procure our Moen faucets which are to replace the standard
- faucets in our home. Russell Brooks at Paragon has been a
- joy to work with as well. He goes out of his way to make
- sure that orders are processed promptly and accurately.
- He even checks the hardware before he ships to ensure
- everything is in good order. The prices are 20-40% less
- than suppliers in our area. The telephone number is
- 800-232-8238.
-
- In the Denver area we have had the pleasure of working
- with two exceptional suppliers.
-
- We have ordered several kitchen appliances from Arrowhead
- Appliance (303-759-1109). Janet Alberg has coordinated
- our $1500 order which easily saved us $300 over discount
- outlets in our area. She can get anything and gave us
- 'jobber' prices on our three appliances. Delivery can be
- scheduled for any day at a cost of $25 per delivery. I
- highly recommend her as a source to consider for folks
- looking for appliances in our area.
-
- Our stereo wiring is being done by Stereo Image in
- Boulder, CO (303-442-2166). Allen Nibbe is our contact
- point and he worked with us extensively to provide custom
- wiring within our budget. His patience and willingness to
- work with the customer have made the custom wiring job a
- pleasure. Considering our builder had all kinds of
- requirements to let another contractor come on the job
- site, it is amazing that Allen would have considered doing
- the job at all. Yet throughout the process, Allen has
- demonstrated a 'no problem' attitude that has allowed us
- to have the home theater that we always wanted.
-
- The plans for our house are put to rest. All the t's have
- been crossed and i's dotted and all that remains is to keep
- an eye on the work in progress to ensure everything is done
- in accordance with our agreement with Park and Stereo
- Image. While our house will not be complete until March of
- next year, I am confident that the character of those we
- are working with will minimize or eliminate future
- problems.
-
- Party On...
