Our first meeting with Jack Marsh was a chance encounter that resulted in a beautiful new home. From the very beginning it was evident that jack is meticulous in his work and dedicated to building quality homes. He does an excellent job at explaining the building process, staying in budget and on schedule. Jack uses only the highest quality vendors and subcontractors and he maintains and orderly jobsite. We always felt we were given plenty of advance notice when it came to decisions that had to be made or product selections. Jack was especially patient during the process of developing our houseplan. We never felt pressured to “hurry up”.

Jack’s easy-going nature made it a joy to build our home. He was always available to answer a question or address a concern. When he offered advice or made a suggestion we knew it came from years of experience and his desire to meet all our needs and wishes and build for us the best possible home.

My husband and I had an outstanding first time home building experience working with Jack Marsh. Jack displayed honesty, professionalism, financial integrity, and flexibility throughout the entire process. He is an excellent communicator and pays amazing attention to detail. We met with several other local builders and companies but we immediately knew Jack was the right builder for us. We felt at ease because of his reputation and Christian values. We are especially impressed with Jack’s continued concern for us and our home even after the closing. We feel the vendors Jack employs are conscientious and diligent in their work on our home. Every selection process was made easy and enjoyable because we were “Jack’s customers”. That spoke volumes for his reputation. Our house turned out better than we had expected and it is truly a place we are proud to call home.

Jack- Thank you for the quality of your work and for the level of personal integrity that you displayed. Matt and I have said time and time again, there is nothing we would have done differently.

Thank you,
Alexis and Matt Gladieux

Thank you for our dream home, Jack! A moment ago, David and I were on the screened porch enjoying our coffee together. Our new home is like being on vacation all the time. In fact, we’re leaving for vacation tomorrow, and it won’t be as nice as what we have here.

YOU are the reason we decided to build. Many of our friends have built homes and told us stories about the difficult process. You have dispelled our fears and doubts. You made building an enjoyable experience with your organized system of construction.

From day one you have been honest, diligent, and available. Your system made it simple for us to make choices. And you gave us good to great choices. We were especially surprised by the elaborate trim work- a feature that sets your homes apart.

What’s more, you didn’t stop communication after construction. It’s been months since completion, and you still check in to make sure everything’s working properly.

We’re delighted with our decision. You promised we would have the prettiest house on the block- and we do!

All the best,
David and Annie Yoho

When you reflect on the desirable characteristics in a builder, the obvious traits that you search for are quality, design and value, which Jack Marsh delivers. The one trait that is hard to identify when looking at new homes is builder reliability, responsiveness and commitment. Our experience with Jack Marsh has been very positive in that regard. Each time we have contacted Jack to ask for information or request that he inspect or correct an issue, Jack has been more than willing to address the issue, work with us and, ultimately, resolve the issue to our satisfaction. Based on our experience, we would recommend Jack Marsh Builder, Inc.

In January of 1999, my wife and I purchased a home located at 14511 Clear Meadow Court in the Lake Forest subdivision. After looking at countless homes during a six month period, we happened upon a house recently completed by Jack Marsh. The floor plan was exactly what we were looking for and we fell in love with the house on our first “walk through”. In addition to the open floor plan that we desired, we were very impressed with the quality of work and the attention to detail which was evident in every room of the house.
Since we had not contracted with Mr. Marsh to build the home and had not worked with him in the past, one of our biggest concerns was that we would get the level of service that one expects when making an investment of this magnitude. We have all heard the horror stories of builders “disappearing” after closing on the house.

In this area, Mr. Marsh’s performance has been exemplary. Minor issues haven arisen, as they will in any new home, and without exemption Jack has responded in a quick and courteous manner. We have now been in our home for six month and our level of satisfaction is as high as the day we moved in last January.
Should we choose to build a new home in the future, although I cannot imagine why, our first call would be to Mr. Marsh.

If you are in the market for a new home and are considering Mr. Marsh as your builder, please feel free to contact us at 244-9379 with any questions.

Sincerely,
Kevin & Lori Watson

Jill and I just wanted to write and let you know how proud and happy we are with our new home. You did such a good job for us and you were such a pleasure to work with. We wanted you to know how very much we appreciate all that you did.

You spent hours with us changing the floor plan designs and patiently helped us find just the right lot on which to build our home. We have received compliment after compliment about how nice our home looks and the quality with which it was built. I was at the building site at least 5 days a week during the process and was always amazed at how interested you were in my thoughts and concerns, and how you would nearly immediately address those concerns.

Your work crews were always professional and courteous. Jill and I both feel like we became friends with most of your contractors during the building process.
The quality of your work is wonderful. We feel that we will have a beautiful home for years and years due to the excellent job you and you contractors did.

If you should need to show your home to a prospective home buyer, please feel free to contact us. We brag on you all the time to our friends and co-workers.

Again, Jack, thanks so much for the wonderful job you did building our home. Picking you to build it was the best decision either of us has ever made.

Jack Marsh has been a real pleasure to work with. If you take a few minutes to look at the time and effort Jack has put into preparing this book, and read his mission statement you will see Jack is a quality builder.
We have been in our house now for over 2 years. Jack contacted me and said he had not closed out our account yet and wanted to know if we had any open issues. We had 2 items that I would like for him to look at.

He contacted the proper subs and within 2 weeks both issues had been taken care of. Jack not only worked with us during the build of our house but wanted to make sure we were satisfied with our new house after it was done.

Sincerely,
Brad & Jill Collard

Cheryl and I wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks for your “hands-on” approach to building our Lake Forest home. Your personal involvement, in every step of the process, helped to ease what can be stressful time.

As you know, I approached several builders of various sizes regarding our plans to build. Selecting you as our builder came down to your high level of interest in our needs while the others seemed to be just interested in bidding on a project. For lack of a better word we were comfortable with you. Your persistence was also a factor. I like dealing with somebody who has a passion for their work.

Since this was our first attempt to build we were clueless as to what happens by who, when it happens, where it happens and how it happens. These questions were all answered early in the process. Being able to actually talk to you on a daily basis gave us the reassurance that you were in charge.

We are happy with our home and the process to get it built. I guess that is an endorsement in itself.

Sincerely,
Ted G. Berg

Phil and Nancy Steenbergen
For several weeks, Nancy and I met with numerous builders regarding the construction of our new home. We continued to be brought back to Jack Marsh because of the quality of construction and the ease at which we could talk to him. During the construction, we not only had the opportunity to meet with Jack on a regular basis, but were also asked to meet with several of his “subs” to discuss possible changes and suggestions which we would have never thought to ask about. We have now been in our new home for almost one year and it is everything we hoped it would be (appearance, quality, and craftsmanship). Jack was and continues to be very responsive to any of our questions or concerns. We would not hesitate in recommending our using Jack in any of our future housing needs.

I want to thank you for the quality job you did for us in building our home. We also wanted for you to know you were a pleasure to work with. We have a beautiful well-built home and we are pleased with how you handled all aspects of construction. This was the third house we have contracted to build. We know how hard it is to find good professional people. Thanks for the great job!

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed working with you during the building of my house.

Taking on this project without Earl seemed a daunting task. You made it so much easier and much less intimidating with your easy going demeanor and your willingness to help me in every little facet of the process.

I appreciate especially the way you tried to always save me money whenever possible, not attempting to talk me into buying and upgrading whenever it was not needed, but letting me make the decision without any pressure.

Thanks so much for everything. If I ever desire to build again you will be getting a call.

You have been a “friend” as well as a “builder”.

God bless,
Claudia
