After almost 30 years of marriage, my wife convinced me to build a home in Galveston. I dreaded what it would do to our relationship and bank account--having for years heard horror stories about contractors. What a pleasant surprise this has been! Not a single problem, not a single screw up, not a single disagreement. Phil Douglas, our contractor, is the best there is. He was a pleasure to work with and the final product reflects it. If you are in the market for a builder, do yourself a favor. Ask Phil to take you to see our home in Pirates Cove. I have never written a letter like this before, and Phil didn't ask me to write this one. But sitting around our new home this weekend, i felt I owed it to provide others with the same trouble-free experience. Sincerely, Stephen S. Houston, Tx
