Testimonials

"We must have looked a thousand house plans. The first one both my wife and I loved ended up being the same one we purchased four weeks later from House Plan Gallery. It was the best fit for our family, to us, the nicest looking one, and to be honest...the best priced web site.

I have never built a house before. To be clear, I am not a carpenter by any stretch of the imagination. My decision to take a month or two off of work to be 'hands on' though proved to be a lesson in life I look back on, and am glad that I decided to do so.

As the acting general contractor, I worked hand-in-hand with the local contractors that I hired to build our dream house. Before this, I couldn't have told you what a 'cripple' was or how to install counter tops. I have so many stories to tell our children and grandchildren in our adventure of building a house.

When we first started, everyone told us that building a house would be an 'ultimate test' to our marriage. Having the same taste and lack of knowledge in homebuilding, we thought everyone was crazy. NOW i can say that yes, it does test your patience, and yes, it does test your marriage, and YES, we passed the test, if they are keeping score. Tackling something as big as this for the first time can be scary, but in the end, I have to say...that its worth it. Now we have a place to call home for years to come!

Thanks to all the kind people at House Plan Gallery... We truly love our new home!"

"My husband and I purchased some land a few years back while we were dating. We began saving and finally paid off our land. We got married two years ago and couldn't wait to build our first home as husband and wife.

We each lived in apartments before and there was no room and we were throwing our money away. We finally saved enough money to start building our dream home.

We started the process and then another delay set us back. Due to all the hurricanes we have had over the years, more precautions and requirements were put into affect.

We live in Lake Charles, Louisiana, right down the road from Grand Lake and our land was now in a high wind zone. This meant that we would have to come up with more money to add brackets to the structure of the house. This also meant paying someone to add these brackets to the house plans. So we saved and saved and finally last November we started building our home.

It was a slow start but before we knew it we were in our first home as husband and wife!! We absolutely love our new home. This has been the happiest 4 months of our lives. We now can have friends and family over to enjoy and show our house off too!!!

We have truly been blessed to find the perfect plans for us. With this house we can now start our family together. This house has allowed us to start our lives together.

We thank God everyday for our new home and allowing us the opportunity to find and build the perfect home! Thanks for the house plans. We could not be happier.

I would and do recommend House Plan Gallery to all my friends that are looking to build a home. I also have a good friend that I did tell about House Plan Gallery and she built a similiar home to ours."
