I absolutely love my new home built by Canalfront Builders. The quality and workmanship couldn’t be better and it is absolutely beautiful. Ann and Mike made the building process so easy, there was no stress at all. They are so organized and have an eye for detail so everything was perfect. There were zero problems during the process and they were fun to work with. I’ve been in my new home for over 9 months and still haven’t had any issues. I can’t recommend them enough. You won’t find a better builder. Thank you Canalfront!

From the team at Canalfront Builders: “Lee, thank you for your kind words. It was our pleasure to bring your dream home to life. You had such a well defined vision of what you wanted. The small details that you requested, such as the antique barn doors and brick floors, really embody the best of the farmhouse design aesthetic. We hope you enjoy many years of happiness in your new home!”

Anyone can construct a house, but the attention to design and build details made this a home we will treasure forever. The collaboration was priceless! Thank you so much!

Canalfront just completed our beautiful farm style house in Lewes, DE. Mark and his team did a terrific job designing, outfitting, and building us a dream house that exceeded our expectations. Building a custom house requires a lot of decision making and patience and Canalfront’s front loaded process turned out to be a huge benefit especially during the many supply chain issues that other builders were experiencing. Couple small delays but not much in the end compared to all the choices that were made along the way. Their subcontractors are top notch, and the finished house shows. You will not be disappointed working with Mark Fitzgerald and his team.

When we started building our home, so many people told us it would be a stressful process. They obviously hadn’t worked with Canalfront. My husband and I are young and planning to start a family, and this was the biggest financial decision we’ve ever made. We knew going in that Canalfront did great work – they built homes for both my cousin and my mother. (Three people from the same family choosing the same builder is a strong testimonial in itself, I think.) We absolutely could not be happier with our new home.

Canalfront’s standard of craftsmanship and attention to detail is truly impressive. Ann is patient and incredibly organized and methodical as she walks you through selections. She is realistic about your budget and so helpful with suggesting places to save or more cost-effective alternatives. Mike, the project manager, sent construction updates every week, as well as progress pictures. (I work in the trades, and I’m here to tell you – a project manager of his caliber is hard to find.) My husband and I are kind of type-A people, not generally the best at surrendering control. But with Canalfront, we knew our home was in great hands, and we just let them take the wheel. The whole team is friendly, honest, and responsive, and they take pride in their work. If something goes wrong, you can have complete confidence that they’ll make it right.

Thank you so, so, so much. You built us the most beautiful, high-quality home we could’ve imagined. We are going to be singing your praises to anyone who will listen for a very long time.

custom home builder near me
I had never built a custom home before, and being a single father with a business, I was unsure of the process.  So, I described what I wanted to Mark and then Myron re-designed a stock plan to suit me and my family. Ann worked closely with me to help me make selections.  They were able to figure out my style and suggested things that suited my taste.  It all went smoothly and I’m extremely happy with my new home!

We have built several custom homes in our lifetime and our experience with Canalfront was by far the easiest. From the design services with Myron and Ann to the attention to detail while buiidling our home from Mark and Mike, we couldn’t be happier. We have been in our home for over a year. If we had questions or slight issues, they were quick to respond. We would highly recommend them.

We are extremely happy with our custom home built by Canalfront Builders. We interviewed several other builders before signing, but chose Canalfront because they listened to what we wanted. Mark and Myron are extremely knowledgeable, and made the process appear seamless. Ann’s expertise with design was crucial, she is extremely talented. Mike kept us informed throughout the process, which was a challenge living out of state. The CoConstruct (Construction Management Software) was extremely helpful. The timeline for construction was on time which was wonderful. Highly recommend Canalfront!

My husband and I were apprehensive about building a custom home after a past experience that was not good. What we found with Canalfront Builders was a fun process with a team that came to feel like family during the time we were working together. I was so impressed with the knowledge that the team had and how everyone there held my hand through the process. The expertise they had about the selections I had to make really helped me narrow my focus on things that fit our style and budget. The whole Canalfront team was excellent and continue to be so in the first year of ownership. I look around at this beautiful home and pinch myself to believe that it’s really mine. If I had to do it over again with Canalfront Builders, I would!

We love our Canalfront home. Every member of their team is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and even fun to work with! Our home was completed ahead of schedule and the attention to detail and workmanship is terrific. Having never worked with a builder before, we were very apprehensive about the process, the many decisions required, etc., etc. Thanks to Mark, Ann, Myron, Mike, and everyone involved in building our home, we are now champions for home building. They listened to our broader objectives for our Forever Home, and from planning and architecture to design and construction, they helped us achieve our vision (and sometimes steered us clear of bad/weird choices!) Highly recommend!

Choosing a house builder felt like a daunting task. We read many articles on how to choose a builder and interviewed multiple local companies. Ultimately, we chose Canalfront Builders. Why them? It felt right to us. After talking with Mark and Myron, we felt they would listen and work with us to make the home we wanted within our budget.

Mark and his team have extensive industry experience and exceeded our expectations. They guided us through the process from identifying and modifying a house plan to fit our family’s immediate needs to a finished structure on our lot. They take pride in the houses they build and incorporate details we never would have thought about. Doing the right thing is unfortunately not the norm in many companies, but Canalfront just does it because they care about their clients.

No one could have predicted our house would be planned and built in the middle of a pandemic, but the team pivoted to help us move forward with selections amid retail stores closing because of lockdowns. They started the build and kept us inforned of the progress weekly while also addressing any questions (and I had many – thankfully they were very patient with my millions of questions) and concerns we had along the way.

They finished our house on time and we are thrilled with the workmanship and quality. It is everything we hoped for and more. Our family looks forward to the many years we will have in our forever home.
