Interior of Post and Beam Cape House With Attached Out-Buildings

Dear Early New England Homes,

Mark and I wanted to express our thanks and appreciation for the exceptional experience that we have had with your company.

After a year of researching the style of the house that we wanted to build, we kept coming back to the cute picture of the red model cape in a local magazine and decided one Saturday to pay a visit to Bolton, Connecticut. When we walked through the kitchen door all we could do was sigh and say to ourselves "this is it-we've fallen in love with this house". After touring the model with Bruce, we knew that no other company or plan would do.

What initially impressed us was the design, the historical colors and research that was apparent in the model. The style, open floor plan and simplicity of function in each room was in keeping with our taste and needs. The idea of the "hearth as the center of the home" was especially charming, as we loved spending evenings in front of the fireplace in our previous home.

Mark and I cannot say enough about Bruce's helpfulness and knowledge throughout the entire project. From the beginning to the completion of our home, ENEH was there to provide the materials, expertise and support that was needed, whenever it was needed. No question seemed too trivial and the guidance that was provided to our building crew was outstanding....A humorous line that was heard around our building site whenever there was a question was..."let's call Bruce about that..."

All timelines were met on or even earlier than the expected dates. The quality of workmanship of the built-in cabinetry, the hand-planed paneling, the forged hardware, the scale of the massive summer beams and posts, as well as the wide board flooring and the mouldings combined together to set our home apart from all others. Our builder, with 28 years of experience in the business was equally impressed with all these materials and details.

The staff at ENEH worked with us to make some minor adjustments to our building plan by enlarging the upstairs bathroom and making it directly accessible to the master bedroom, as well the addition of a small porch.

In closing, Mark and i would like you to know that we have been completely satisfied with the quality of our home and our decision to use your company.

Warm regards,
Mark and Mary Ann
