Great experience working with Southern and Traditional Homes! Communication was frequent and consistent during the building of our home. I brought them a floor plan they had never used before and they knocked the project out of the park despite small changes and my being deployed for the last portion of the construction.

We have been in our home for almost 8 years and still love everything. After working with other builders on smaller projects, our experience with Southern &Traditional Homes was excellent and so much professional than other companies. We were always updated on the process, next steps, and the project was completed on time. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a luxury home builder.

When preparing building our home, we were looking for a custom home builder who was detail-oriented with a focus on quality. Southern and Traditional Custom Homes was just that. They guided us through the entire process and managed our expectations as we progressed. Their attention to detail was evident in their work. If I ever build again, Southern & Traditional will be my builder. I am so happy we found them and chose them to build our dream home.

My wife and I shopped around for a luxury custom home builder for months, spending countless hours researching and interviewing well known companies in Hillsborough such as Authur Rutenberg. However, sitting down with S&T owner and founder Mike Benigni and his staff, we instantly knew we found the team we wanted to work with. From a buyer's perspective, here was some key take aways that give S&T our highest of recommendations: 1: Communication - At every step of the way, we had access to Jon (our foreman) or Mike. We had every question answered, every concern addressed, and complete access during one of the most important purchases someone will ever make. At no point, did I feel as if I wasn't a priority. S&T does this by limiting the amount of houses each foreman does (unlike other builders). Having only a few houses at a time to work on and being an expert at his trade, Jon was always accessible and intimately knowledgable on our house, the schedule, requirements, and our concerns. It was rare Jon didn't answer his phone, and if he didn't, it was because he was doing amazing things on our house. 2: Flexibility - As first time home builders, things change along the way. S&T was extremely empathetic and flexible with us, managing our expectations and working with us to ensure we got the house we wanted. Obviously, changes are difficult after a certain point in time, but in the end, they really worked with us to ensure we were satisfied. 3: Quality - Living close by to our build, we were able to meet most of the staff S&T employed to build our house. Not only is our house of the highest quality in materials and construction, the people of this company are exemplars of professionals. 4: Personal touch - Building a house is a relationship with the builder. At no point in time, did we feel like we were just a transaction with S&T. They followed up with us, kept in contact to ensure the house still meets our standards, and worked with us on anything we needed. More importantly, they did it with initiative and empathy, knowing the stress an investment of this magnitude can place on a buyer. They also made recommendations on things buyers don't think about that aesthetically made our house exponentially more appealing. This is our forever house and S&T made that dream come true. However, if it is not our forever house for any reason, we will be using them again to build whatever our next home building adventure may be. Thank you Mike and S&T for an amazing building experience and best wishes for you and yours! Ryan & Shannon

Mike is the best. I have been in my home for over 6 years now and there are no cracks, leaks, or regrets. I have referred two friends to Mike since we had our home built and they are both extremely happy with his detail and commitment to quality. I really can t imagine someone being able to put more emphasis on quality. I am extremely pleased we chose Mike and Southern and Traditional Homes to build our house.

This was the third house we built and by far the best! Mikes crew, especially our foreman, John, were outstanding. Friendly, trustworthy, and most importantly, responsive to questions and changes. During the final walk-through, Mike was finding minor blemishes that needed to be fixed--even when we said they were fine. S and Ts quality materials and excellent subs created a wonderful home for us. After six years, we still love the house and it still feels **new**.

My wife and I had an exceptional experience working with Mike building our new home. He started and stayed honest on every aspect the entire time, which seems to be a rarity in construction. Our dream home had many above code things done to build it very structurally sound, which is what he does for all his builds. We did many many specific customizations for our home with our 6 young kids, and we couldn t be more thrilled. We had things like custom cubbies and specific ceiling areas and a rock wall, attic storage space built in and a drinking fountain- all without any issues. We ve been in the home for almost 6 years now and we still love it and have had no issues. Electrical, AC, water/well, cement, flooring, paint, etc have all stayed without issues.

We hired Southern and Traditional to build our custom home and could not have been more pleased with the quality, value and level of support received. They helped us through every step and listened to what we wanted. Our home is beautiful and if we were ever to build again, there would be no other builder that could compete.

Great placement of home on our lot. Excellent foundation, block wall and framing work. We visited site constantly with level. Floors, window & door openings, counter tops all absolutely level and square. Our lot has a challenging slope. Extra care was taken during grading with fill dirt added to create channels to drain water. We have long driveway. Excellent concrete work there as well. Numerous people have stopped over last 2 years to ask who our builder was.
