Testimonials

“Dear Jeff Doyle, I wanted to write a letter thanking you and your team, Jeff F. and Kim V. for the smooth construction of a very complicated architecturally designed custom home with advanced energy efficiency features. We reached our target of passive house air infiltration standards. The home energy use is about 20 kWh a day in the summer and about 50 kWh per day in the winter, and this includes 7-9 kWh a day charging my car. My energy bills are running about 60-80$ a month in the summer and 120-150$ a month in the winter with car charging. Frequent communication and meetings with budget updates kept us on track through the entire process. Your subs were all very professional. The framing and the finishing carpentry were outstanding. Dream Kitchens in Brighton designed my dream kitchen. Follow up after certificate of occupancy was timely and complete through the one year warranty. The house is a joy to live in. I think you have a gift for understanding the complexity of energy efficient construction. I hope your team continues to integrate these efficiency features into future projects. I wish you and your team continued success. I highly recommend you and your team for super energy efficient custom home construction.”

“Stephan and I have been thrilled with both the process and the results of building with Doyle Homes. The whole team is fantastic. Their attention to detail and quality shines through in every way. From the first meeting to move in we knew we had the right builder. We met with several builders with our plans and when the bids were presented we had no doubt which to choose. Doyle Homes bid was higher, but Jeff was the only one to put in exact details such as windows, fixtures, siding, and more. It was evident he listened to our needs and desires for our new home. During the build, the whole team was beyond responsive to any questions and concerns. They weren't just building our house, they were creating a shared vision. If we ever build again, Doyle Homes will be our builder; however, we never want to leave this masterpiece! Thank you Jeff, Kim, Fisher, and the whole team!”

“Working with Jeff throughout the building process from beginning to end was very gratifying as both Patti and I are delighted with the home he built. At the beginning of the process, Jeff spent considerable time designing the house we wanted having the patience to put up with all the little modifications we wanted for the house. It was easy to work with Jeff during the building process as he always kept us informed of the progress and always responded to any questions we had. We always felt he took great pride in the appearance and quality of our house. There were added features, which we were not aware of, that were included in the final product which demonstrated the quality of the workmanship and high standards he has. The subs he used were all first rate and also very helpful. We also want to acknowledge our appreciation for his foreman, Jeff Fischer, who was responsible for the quality and condition of the final product especially during the latter stages of the building process as he was also very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Jeff Doyle to anyone interested in building a new home. In fact, we recommended Jeff to my daughter’s family to build her new home.”

“This review is for Doyle Homes, who built a beautiful home for us in 2023-24. My wife and I have built every home we’ve lived in since the mid 1990s, both new construction and major remodeling. We built as owner/builder, and we both are knowledgeable and fairly demanding as far as home building is concerned. At the time of construction, we were living 2000 miles away, and I was still working. We knew we would have to use a full service contractor. We traveled to Livingston County several times looking at lots and interviewing builders. We narrowed it down to two builders, whose resumes were very similar as far as backgrounds and experience. After great consideration, we chose Jeff Doyle and his team. We felt comfortable with his builds, and his bid was competitively priced. From the start, through design changes and upgrades, the permitting process, it all was very seamless. The communication with the multiple governmental agencies involved with the permits was made much smoother thanks to Kim and Christina with Doyle homes. Once we broke ground, we were able to travel to the home about every six weeks. With my experience of being daily hands-on with our prior homes, that seemed like an eternity! We had great communication through texts, emails, phone calls and video conferences between visits. During the site visits, our time was greatly maximized by having subs available, by having materials suppliers lined out, and being able to interact with the right people. Our time back in Livingston County was very well spent. The quality of the build is second to none. As a very picky builder myself, I couldn’t have improved on the build. Many of their subcontractors have been with Doyle Homes for over 20 years. They do a great job for Doyle and Doyle treats them with respect. It’s a very successful relationship between the general contractor and subcontractors that isn’t found often in residential construction. Overall, my wife and I couldn’t have been more satisfied. Jeff Doyle, Kim Veenstra, and superintendent Jeff Fischer were great to work with. They are dedicated to their clients, are consummate professionals, and were a pleasure to be around. They build a fantastic home, on time and on budget, and provide a lot of value for the cost. I cannot recommend them enough. Before you sign a contract with a custom home builder, you really should meet with the Doyle Homes team.”

“We had the pleasure of building our detailed custom home with Doyle Homes, led by Jeff Doyle and his exceptional team. Throughout the process, their collaboration was outstanding. The entire Doyle Homes team was extremely fair and upfront, and they genuinely cared about getting every detail right. Whenever a problem arose, they never backed away from it but instead worked diligently to solve it. Their expertise and experience were evident, and they were always available to address our concerns. We were pleasantly surprised by their willingness to mock-up various concepts for us, ensuring we were satisfied with the final design. An example of this was our “bicycle bathroom” where we co-created a one of a kind ½ bath experience. This was done using a vintage bicycle as the base for the sink and a sculpted, black walnut countertop lumbered from our property. Having just completed our final items on the punch list, we can confidently say that Doyle Homes did right by us every step of the way and we fully recommend them without any reservation!”

“Professional, detail oriented, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Wow, what an excellent experience my wife and I had working with the team at Doyle Homes. It was clear that they would be building our “forever” home from the moment they took a tour of our plot of land. Jeff and company took our ideas, requested and vision of how we wanted our home to look and function and made it a reality. It speaks volumes to character when I had candid conversations with their sub-contractors (excavation, foundation, rough carpenters, finish carpenters, masons, and tile works). Every single one stated, outright, that Doyle was the only builder they would want to build their home because of the attention paid to every detail. Jeff D, Jeff F, Kim V, Christina W and the rest of the team, THANK YOU!!!!”
