Joe Skiffington built our first home in 1991. We loved the quality, fit / finish and most especially, dealing with Joe. We vividly remember calling Joe three or four years after moving in because we didn't like a vanity in one of the bathrooms.........amazingly, Joe came back and replaced the vanity at no charge just to make sure my wife and I were completely happy.......that kind of customer service follow-through and satisfaction is very hard to come by today, that is, if you can find it at all! We knew then as we still do today, there are no other builders on Winnipesaukee other than Joe Skiffington.

Our family has grown and circumstances led us to consider building or moving to a new home on Winnipesaukee. When the final decision was made to build, it took us less than 2 minutes to decide who would be doing the building. From start to finish, the entire process was flawless........Joe managed everything, from demolition, to permits, to movers,to final closing. Needless to say, we have an unbelievable new SKiffington home on the original SKiffington lot we purchased in 1991 and it is extraordinary down to the smallest detail and it has exceeded our every expectation!

I want to dispell any rumors about subs and Joe........other than the HVAC and plumbing (Lakeside), Joe Skiffington employs his own crews and they have completed every component of our new home on time, on budget (in many cases, ahead of schedule) with exceptional attention to detail. His crews were at the job every morning at 7am and worked neatly 6 days a week. Always professional and highly effecient throughout the entire process. We loved his crews, got to know them all by name and they were all top-shelf reflections of Joe Skiffington himself.

A word or two about Joe Skiffington; he is truly unique! Above all, he has wonderful humility. He returns phone calls instantly, never makes the customer feel like they are asking a stupid question, sends daily pictures and email updates. He possesses the most incredible can-do attitude like no one you have ever met and above all, he is beyond honest as the day is long, completely trustworthy and highly accountable. Unlike other builders, he doesn't whine, never makes excuses and prides himself on being held accountable and fully responsible..............what a refreshing professional.

Joe takes great personal pride in everything that has the SKiffington Homes name on it; as a result, there were no short-cuts taken, no patch work, no rushing, no cuttting corners and above all, nothing done without the customer having complete confidence the job is being completed right the first time.

As noted, this is our second home built by Skifffington Homes and for us, there are no other builders in NH's lakes region. NONE! Joe cares deeply about the environment and he personally saw to it when we demo'd our home, that those less fortunate in the area would receive all of our applanaces, furnaces, garage doors, windows, cabinets, etc, through habitat for humanity.

Joe Skiffington is far more than an exceptional builder, he is an extraordinary human being. He is dedicated to doing things right, taking care of those that need help and employing a team of professionals that follow those same guidlines to a "T" and he takes the same great personal pride in every one of his homes, from Suissvale to Governor's Island.

If you are thinking about building a new home no matter what your price range, it would be a huge mistake to not meet with Joe Skiffington first! There isn't another buider in the Lakes Region that comes close to matching the total value proposition you receive by purchasing a Skiffington Home!
