Testimonials:
I worked for numerous local, regional and national homebuilders before starting my own company. I can tell you Aaron Barney is the most thorough and accurate estimator I have ever worked with and his feedback regarding potential trouble spots is invaluable.
Mike Blake - President, Mike Blake Custom Homes
We want to thank you for the services you have provided MainVue Homes. Your material takeoffs and field verifications of material useage have been invaluable. All of our expectations have been met or exceeded.
We hired DFW Custom Estimating back in July of 2015 to assist with our estimating and material takeoff needs for our plans. We went from 8 plans to 32 plans overnight and we needed assistance. Aaron jumped in and helped us complete our material takeoffs in a clear and precise manner. I would and I already have recommended Aaron Barney to other companies and associates. We look forward to our continued successful relationship as we both grow in the home building industry.
