A Homeowner’s Experience of Building Their Luxury Custom Home with Lee Wetherington Homes

“For 11 months, Karol Sawa then guided us from ground zero to the completion of a home that is perfect for our family. Karol’s pride and craftsmanship made it feel as though he was building for his own family. That sense of trust and care was pervasive from our first meeting. Choosing LWH was the best decision we could have made. I highly recommend them to anyone building a new home; they truly make you feel like family.”
