Have something nice to say?

Tom and Jody Hines, Marion

We have built homes in the Madison, WI and Buffalo, NY areas. We have also purchased newly built, already completed homes in both Marion, IA and Appleton, WI. We can not say enough about the quality and thoughtful details in our home built by Jerry Smartman. It is obvious that Jerry and his staff build homes as if they were to live in the house themselves. From the beautiful woodwork, to the wonderfully rounded corners, from the central vaccuum system to the lawn sprinkler system, from the abundance and quality of kitchen cabinetry to the super organized plumbing and electrical system. All of his homes seem to have much thought and consideration of the buyer. We were very happy with our Sunderrman home. We firmly feel that Jerry Smartman is the best builder that we have encountered. He definitely builds his homes like he is a buyer!

After months of looking for a home we finally came across Smartman Construction. We never thought we would be able to build our first home, but the Smartman team worked with us to build a beautiful quality home in our price range. I don’t think any other builder around would have taken the time and patience to guide us through our first building experience. We are so thrilled with the craftsmanship and quality that was put into every detail of our home. We had a wonderful building experience and plan on building with Smartman Construction again in the near future! We are truly proud to live in a Smartman home and highly recommend Smartman Construction to anyone looking at building a new home!

We have lived in our Smartman home for eight months and we still comment daily on how pleased we are with the quality of our home and how easy it was to build with the Smartman team. We visited many existing homes and never considered building until we met Jerry Smartman and his family at one of their Parade Homes in 2007. Of all the options we explored, none could compare with the quality and value of a Smartman home.

We had looked at several homes before looking at and later purchasing a home built by Smartman Construction. We were immediately impressed with the craftsmanship and the quality of detail, from the cold oak doors to the custom molding and cabinetry. The amenities that you find standard with a Smartman home were add-ons at some of the other homes we looked at. We are extremely pleased with our purchase and do not hesitate to recommend Smartman Construction to anyone that is looking at purchasing a new home.

Smartman Construction is one of the premier builders in the Cedar Rapids area. We searched for a home builder for a long time before we decided to go with Smartman. We can attest to the amazing value and quality that we received for the price. No one else could even come close to meeting what we received for the price. Don't just look at the house, but look at all the little details and add-ons that you receive standard with Jerry and his close knit team, almost unheard of in his industry. As the house progressed, Smartman was quickly able to adapt to changes and improvements realized during the build phase with no additional costs to us, once again a rarity in custom home construction.

Finally! My husband and I decided to build our home we had been dreaming about for years. Smartman homes by far surpassed the quality and craftsmanship of other homes shown to us of the same value. The amount of detail and time Smartman gave to the construction of our home is apparent as soon as you walk in our door! Our friends and family are constantly complimenting our home on the quality and craftsmanship that Smartman gave. I will recommend them to anyone! Thank you Jerry for the best building experience ever!
