Client Testimonials
Let our clients tell the story!
"Over the years we have done a number of large remodeling projects and worked with many
contractors. Ben Butler is simply the best. He is creatively brilliant and also really knows his
stuff on the design, engineering and materials side. A true artist, he leads several great teams
that are as skilled at high-end, fine finish work as they are at tackling major complex design
challenges. He is as polite and friendly as the day is long, and mindful of his client’s budgets.
His subs were always the best at what they did, were extremely trustworthy and always left our
home clean and tidy. It was a delight working with Ben and Capler Homes and we strongly
recommend them for whatever your next project is, big or small."

“Ben and his crew have gone above and beyond all of our expectations. They are timely,
efficient and their work is spectacular. Taking care of their customers is a number one priority
for them and they are always quick to respond and they always aim to please. I would
recommend them to absolutely anyone looking to build for personal homes or businesses.
Their professionalism is outstanding and their quality of work, exceptional.”

“Project went very well; contractors were timely, professional and courteous; they were attentive
to disruptions in the household to the extent possible (major renovation projects naturally
results in a lot of dust and distractions!); their time was generally well coordinated and
managed so that the project could stay on a fairly tight timeline We were pleased with their
attention to detail and careful craftsmanship; Ben, the head of the company, provided
extensive guidance and help in planning and decisions that needed to be made , while always
keeping our wishes, lifestyle, and decorating schemes at the forefront. The crew was prompt
and responsive for any questions that came up along the way, and dealt quickly and openly
with problems and challenges. They pointed out things we weren't aware of, like a rotted-out
door frame, and worked with us on best ways to address them. An error in paint color selection
in a bathroom was resolved immediately by repainting. When it became evident that something
in the plan wasn't going to work, they involved us in determining how to revise the plan; for
example, during the wall tiling in one bathroom, it became evident that the planned design
wouldn't work well with the window frame and the Capler Homes crew came up with an
alternative pattern and reviewed it with us before proceeding. I will turn to Capler Homes first
for any future remodeling or building work that we need”

“HEDS Architects has been working with Ben Butler of Capler Homes for the past 18 months on
a modern and sustainable house in Nelson County. The concept for the house is a bridge over
a ravine. This idea on a very sloped wooded hillside would have shaken many contractors but
Ben's enthusiasm and can-do spirit has been key toward moving forward. The project is now
under construction and Ben and his team have undertaken a number of building technologies
that are anything but standard for home builders. An example: 30" deep steel beams had to be
craned in sections and welded from a crane above the steeply sloped ravine.
As a modern house, there are many design details that are unique and Ben has been
enthusiastic in taking these on. We have been working with Ben and a supplier to source and
detail a unique metal facade system, for example.
The house incorporates sustainable technologies such as triple-pane windows and Ben has
both contributed his own knowledge as well as researched the new proposed technologies.
Finally, the quality of the workmanship is excellent. We expect a lot from our contractors and
Ben is one of the top builders we've worked with in over thirty years in the profession.
There are few builders who are as keen as Ben to take on new challenges. I look forward to
completing this exciting project and working on new projects in future with Ben and his team”

"My wife & I had a self designed home that 2 years ago, thought would always be a dream. After
talking to Ben, he and his crews built us a beautiful, well constructed home that we have been
living in for nearly a year. Ben was attentive to our needs and changes as well as willing to work
through the kinks to everyone's satisfaction. He attend to a couple of small warranty issues like
a pro and after it all, not only are we very happy with our home, we are happy to call him a
friend. We would recommend him to anyone looking for or wanting to build a house."
