Our goal is to provide the highest level of customer service and deliver each of our clients the custom home of their dreams. We have been privileged to work with so many amazing homeowners throughout South Texas and are truly humbled by their kind words.
I am writing to give a letter of recommendation for CKC Custom Homes and Chuck and Kristal Powell. CKC Custom Homes recently completed a major remodel of our 4800 square foot ranch house located on the Canyon Peaks Ranch in Kendall County.
The remodeling job was extensive, requiring my wife and I to move into a guesthouse we have on the ranch for several months. The remodel job included some structural modifications of the house, the construction of an outdoor kitchen/cabana around the swimming pool, new HVAC, plumbing, standing seam metal roof, flagstone around pool and patio, audio/visual, as well as a complete re-do of the entire interior of the house including tile, cabinets, carpet, paint and many other items. I invite you to contact Chuck and Kristal to see pictures of the final result; the finished product is fantastic! A complex job, a large amount of pre-construction planning work was required which Chuck oversaw. He would take input from my wife and myself and create detailed drawings, which we would review and modify until we had a final product. Kristal was very helpful in the planning process as well, facilitating with selections on tile, paint, appliances, etc.
She had a great knack for understanding how we wanted the house to look, and translating that into results. Once the plans were finished, we received a bid in a straightforward and transparent fashion, which we then modified to meet our budget. The construction phase took approximately 6 months, starting with demolition and then moving into construction and finish work. We basically gutted the house and started almost from scratch. I have built a number of houses in the past and this project was more complicated than any of the new construction I have previously been associated with. The project was finished within our budget and Chuck was very thorough in finishing up a number of small punch list items. Chuck left the job site clean and in as good a shape as he found it. As I mentioned above, the final product is great; a beautiful job. In summary, I would recommend CKC Custom Homes for almost any construction project. We are very happy with the job they did on our ranch house and would invite interested parties to review pictures of the final product at CKC Custom Home’s offices.
We have now been in our CKC built home for 3 years and continue to get great comments from our neighbors on how much they like the exterior of our home, and the very roomy feel of the interior.
We asked for “wow’ factor and got it for both the outside and the inside. Every room in the house has a custom ceiling treatment including high ceilings in the kid’s bedrooms. The floorplan is roomy, but also very efficient. Minimal wasted space.
Chuck is very good at pointing out items that bring value in both use in future resale. Example is our wider garage doors, and the brick and mortar fireplaces. 3 years into the home and we have only had service calls once on the air conditioner, and once on the garage. Both were fully covered by warranty.
I contracted CKC Custom Homes to construct my custom home in Comfort, Texas in 2008. I was very impressed with the process Chuck utilizes to let you know exactly where you are during construction. The budget was set and you knew your cost upfront and throughout the process. Kristal was very efficient and effective in all of our choices during the deco process. Overall our experience was excellent with CKC Custom Homes. We finished on schedule, within budget, and the results were our beautiful quality built custom home. I would choose CKC again if I were to build custom.
It is with pleasure that we provide this letter of reference for Chuck & Kristal Powell and CKC Custom Homes. CKC has been an approved builder with our institution since 2011. The Blanco National Bank has provided numerous construction loans to their clients and all of them have been completed in a timely manner with excellent customer service. CKC Custom Homes would be a great addition to your community! Please feel free to contact me if I you have any questions.
It is with tremendous enthusiasm we recommend CKC Custom Homes. After considering many of the best-known elite homebuilders in the San Antonio area, it was an easy decision to select CKC Custom Homes to construct our dream home in Helotes, Texas during 2013. When we witnessed their top-notch construction quality and the unique CKC beauty and style that work so well within the San Antonio-area landscape, choosing CKC above numerous other custom homebuilders was the obvious choice. Each home that Chuck and Kristal Powell create is truly one of a kind. Chuck’s attention to the building process details and using first-rate quality materials and workmanship during a home’s construction is foremost in his mind. He and his design team thoroughly assessed the unique and challenging features of our lot and maximized its potential far beyond what we thought possible- he is a visionary. The flair for style and detail Kristal brings to each home as a talented and experienced designer amazes clients and guests to their homes. She incorporates the clients’ needs and personal style, blending them perfectly with her own sensibilities and design industry knowledge in a manner which leads to an end result that will never fail to impress. Working with the entire CKC homebuilding team was a pleasure due to their strong customer service ethic. The difference truly is in the details when it comes to building high-end custom homes- it is no surprise CKC Custom Homes has received numerous awards and recognitions for their work and we know they will remain at the forefront of their industry and will surely receive far more accolades and continued success in the future.
