2020 Gold Winner – Best in American Living: The Game Room

Game rooms are typically hidden, a place to disappear with a few friends. This game room is front and center, an integral part of the great room, and fitting in with the flow for large gatherings or just friends and family. It features an architect-designed pool table, its steel cantilever frame anchored to the reclaimed white oak floor; a shuffleboard table is cantilevered and attached to the wall. An art panel forms the backsplash for a curved self-service bar.

Being on this planet now for 56 years, I have never had a better buying experience with any business. I had owned an RV dealership for many years and we based our entire philosophy on customer satisfaction. I can honestly say that I received the same kind of customer satisfaction from Porter Homes that we engrained in our employees. Customers are our #1 priority, "Because of you, our customer, we exist..." And that's the way Porter homes made me feel. Thank you to the entire Porter team!

Jimmy W.

While Porter Homes is a very well known and trustworthy brand name in the community the more important thing to us was the people we dealt with. We always had someone to call if needed and we always received very quick repsonses. The team was not only open to new/different things, Nate and Justin were genuinely excited to explore some new and cool ideas while building our home. The whole experience was very positive. Expectations are set high for subcontractors and they all delivered a magnificent product that when it all came together created a fabulous home that we are thrilled to be living in.

Dan P.

Building my new home with Porter Homes has been an exciting experience. I particularly enjoyed the organized process that the Porter team uses to manage each part of the construction schedule. They were always willing to listen to my ideas, make suggestions and work with me to make sure the design of my home turned out to exceed my expectations. I particularly enjoyed working with Rod Porter who managed the build from start to finish.

Christy P.

We cannot say enough good about our experience with Porter Homes. From the start, building a custom home with Porter was a truly rewarding experience. The folks at Porter were extremely easy to work with and provided skilled guidance to us during the planning and design stages of our home. During the process, we took special note of Porter’s attention to detail, workmanship and flexibility in responding to our needs. Any concerns we had were quickly addressed and resolved to our complete satisfaction.

Diane G.

We were most impressed with just how “user friendly” Porter Homes was and we continue to be just as impressed with Porter’s outstanding customer service afterwards.

Having chosen to retire in Grand Junction, we began looking for a builder who would understand our vision of a retirement home. Nate spent several months working with us to refine our ideas and create a finished plan. He and his staff worked closely with us to make selections and to ensure that we kept within our established budget. His vendors and subcontractors welcomed our suggestions and were a pleasure to work with throughout the process. From start to finish there was never a question that wasn’t answered and the final result is a true reflection of what we wanted in our new home. We would highly recommend Nate and the Porter Homes Team.

Bill & Karen W.

We wanted to say thank you for building our dream home. We could not be happier with the end result and we are so pleased that we chose you as our builder. From the very beginning you took time to listen to our needs and helped us build a custom home that exceeded our expectations. You provided us so many great recommendations throughout the process and helped us to achieve a family friendly home with a great floor plan that utilized space and provided us the best views imaginable. Your quality of work is to the highest standard and your subcontractors were all professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Your relationship with vendors and subcontractors not only allowed us to find custom designs to fit our needs, but also helped us with pricing, and a personalized experience. You truly built our home with the highest integrity and kept your promise to stay within our budget. Thank you once again for building our home. We would highly recommend you and your team to anyone and we couldn’t be happier.

Joe & Jen L.

We could not be more pleased with our new home or the building process. Nate took the time to fully understand our vision and had our sketches converted into the perfect floorplan for our family. He paid great attention to details - positioning the home and windows to maximize our views, optimizing traffic flow through the home, and identifying features to accomodate our children and pets. We were given a fair and accurate budget from the beginning that included all the features we wanted. Nate's subcontractors were polite, professional, and performed high-quality work. There was never any question that Nate was overseeing their work to make sure that it met his high standards and any deviations from the original plan were quickly corrected without inconvenience to us. Our home reflects our personalities, values, and lifestyle - all at the promised cost. If we should ever build again, there is no question that we will build with Porter Homes. This is truly our dream home!

Logan & Carol M.

We had such a great experience building our dream home with Porter Homes. We had very specific ideas about what we wanted in our home. Not only did we have all of our ideas realized, but Nate and his team enhanced many of them and they turned out even better. The attention to detail and their care and craftsmanship was noticed in every step and aspect of the build. Everyone at Porter Homes was great to work with, as well as all of the sub-contractors hired. We love our new home and are so pleased with how it turned out!

Jim & Bonnie B.

Working with Porter Homes in developing our dream home was a wonderful experience. From the moment of our initial meeting to the day when we were handed the keys, Nate and his staff were always attentive to our wishes and desires. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and working with Porter Homes made the process of building a new home stress free.

Scott & Juanita P.

We had a great home building experience with Porter Homes. Porter Homes offered us a very innovative home design and allowed us put our own fingerprint on it by letting us be as creative as we wanted in making adds & changes. This flexibility resulted in a finished home that was perfect for us. Our experience tells us that Porter Homes builds a quality home that displays pride in craftsmanship throughout. Above all, we appreciate that the Porter team has always made us feel as valued customers providing us with the feeling that they were building our home as if they were building the home for a member of their own family. The folks at Porter Homes were and continue to be very easy to work with and as a result have made our home building experience an enjoyable one.

Terri & John H.

Building a home with Porter Homes was a true pleasure! One of the main reasons we chose Porter Homes was the outstanding quality of their work. Other homes we have owned and looked at didn't even come close. Nate and Rod Porter truly made the process simple and stress-free. When we decided on a kitchen redesign and several other upgrades, Rod and the subcontractors were a wealth of information and quickly helped us make the best decisions for our needs and the design of our home. Working with the interior designer was so much fun and she really helped us to customize our home without having to labor over every little choice and decision. Everyone worked together in a seamless and professional manner, always welcoming our input and encouraging us to be on site as much as we could. They even went above and beyond after the sale was complete. We couldn't be happier with our beautiful home.

Susan & Rob Orman

Our home is a work of art by architect Marc Soloway and builder Nate Porter. We couldn't be happier with the detail, quality and execution. Thanks Nate Porter for building our dream home.

Dan & Cheryl Wenzinger

My wife and I purchased our lot at Summerhill Subdivision in 2016. Construction of our home began in January 2017. We had often heard of the trials and headaches of building a new home so we entered the process with some degree of uneasiness and trepidation. However our experience throughout the entire process was far less stressful than anticipated due to the guidance, advice and support we received from Porter Homes personnel. Rod Porter the project manager was extremely helpful and was of great assistance in helping with color and decor choices that complimented our existing furniture while reflecting our personalities and life-style. We have now enjoyed two years in our new home and continue to be very happy and satisfied with our experience with Porter Homes.

Mike & Kathy Moran

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Porter Homes to build my new house. This was the first house I had built so I was pretty apprehensive and wasn't sure what to expect. Porter Homes helped me through the entire process and had me confidently making decisions the whole way through. Their expertise was astounding. From designing my plans, all the way to the final touches with the interior designer and landscaper, everyone I worked with for my new home was very professional, extremely helpful, and very easy to work with. I would recommend them to any of my family and friends.
