I love this builder and we finally after many years of reluctance decided to build with Christy and Todd Drake. We are thrilled with how much input we got to have into the build and Christy has been just so nice to us with frequent communication and service attitude. This is one shot in life to create something very personal and if you have a chance build with Drake. They are not successful for no reason. It’s a synergy of energies and relationships they created in the community. I feel very grateful.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Don't buy from Drake! Once we bought one of their houses, it was a nightmare to get them to come and do the 1-year repairs. Almost 3 years later, we are still waiting for them to complete the work and the little work they did it was low quality and poorly done. You are better off going with another builder. Buyer beware for sure.

We have lived in our Drake Homes house for approximately 10 yrs. The overall build quality has been excellent. I recently contacted Todd Drake on an issue that showed up after we had sold our house. He took care of the problem without hesitation. He was very professional and stands behind their work. I would not hesitate to use Drake Homes again in the future.

My wife and I built our first home with Drake Homes in 2008. We were impressed by how easy they were to work with and their design and quality of build. I spoke to several contractors and vendors after the build that told me I made a good choice as Drake built a really nice home.
After living in the home for nearly 12 years with no problems whatsoever, we decided to build again. For us, there was no question on who we would choose to build our new home. We'd heard numerous horror stories over the years from friends and acquaintances of experiences with other builders. We visited Christy at an
