Barry and Tracey kept us abreast of what was going on. They advised us when we needed to choose things and if we had missed a timeline. They made timely and useful recommendations and helped us through difficult decisions/choices. They and their team were always welcoming, friendly and discussed what was going on upon our weekly visits.

Not sure what we liked the most but there were many things that we did like. We always felt we were important and they worked with us to ensure we were getting a home that worked well for our family. Even after we moved in we feel we are still important and any concerns are dealt with in a timely matter. They have great attention to detail and are easy to work with. They were a great help with making decisions and even came to help out at the flooring supplier when I couldn't decide on a kitchen tile. We thought about building a home for years and every time we looked at show homes we always knew it would be Aquilla Homes we would choose. We love our Aquilla Home!

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

After having our home built in 2016 we could not be more pleased with the quality of our home. The communication with Aquilla Homes was very consistent and quick. Each phase of our home build was extremely transparent and we were always updated with the progress.

Through any build you will always have your ups and downs. After moving in we did have some shingles lifting and a few concerns with our garage door. With that being said, the way everything was handled was very quick and professional. Nothing was swept under the rug and was dealt with better then we could have ever expected.

If you want an open & honest builder we recommend Aquilla Homes to anyone and we would definitely build with them again!


This was our first home build. If anyone has done this before you'll know how overwhelming the process can be. So many choices and selections to make, hoping it all comes together as you envisioned.

We chose Aquilla Homes because of the reviews we read. After meeting with Barry we knew that the reviews were right and we had made the right choice. He helped us take an existing floorplan and customize it to suit our needs without compromising the integrity of a well built home. Barry is surrounded by a dedicated staff that share his passion for quality, and customer service. That dedication doesn't end at the possession date, if we have a question, a reply is usually within the same day. It's not very often someone experiences true customer service. We are very happy with our home, the craftsmanship that went into the construction and the attention to detail.

Our house truly feels like a home. We would not hesitate to refer anyone considering a home build to Barry and his team.


My husband and I recently built a home with Aquilla. We researched other builders and homes in the community, but we always felt that the quality of the Aquilla homes were superior. The team of Barry, Tracey and Murray are terrific people to work with. We are so happy with our home and would recommend Aquilla Homes to others.
My husband and I used Aquilla homes to build our first home this past year. Being newly-weds and away from family, we were a bit worried about the process of building a new home. I cannot say enough positive things about Barry, Tracey, and Murray from Aquilla. They are a wonderful team that have really made the home buying (and building) process easy.

To start, Barry helped us to customize a floor plan to our preferences; we told him our budget and he was able to put together a home package that met all of our needs. We were then set up on an amazing App called Co-Construct, which allowed us to make choices, view important documents, and keep track of progress with a daily log and added pictures of progress. Any questions we had during the process were always immediately addressed by either Tracey or Barry, which helped to set our mind at ease.

During the building I had some doubts about my choices for tile and flooring – Tracey set up a meeting and went through some options, as well as took me to some other homes in the area for inspiration. Her eye for design is excellent and she was an great guide through the design process.

In all, the home took about 6.5 months to build – we were in by our estimated date. Since our move-in everything has been fantastic. You may think that once the builder hands over the keys they are hands off – but I can tell you that Barry, Tracey, and Murray are fantastic and have addressed any issues that have come up quickly. For example, the first night in our home our brand new washer malfunctioned and leaked all over our second floor laundry room – we panicked as we had just taken possession and feared that this had just severely damaged our new home. I called Barry for advice, and within a week we had a new washer, and Murray had come by to repair drywall and molding damage.

This support is invaluable. It is clear to both my husband and I that Aquilla Homes and Barry take pride in their work and the homes they build for families. I would recommend Aquilla to anyone looking to build a home.
