Mike Salomon and I must have gone through pretty much every single document together. The man has the patience of a rock. This was is my first home purchase and I had a lot of questions. Mike's assistance helped clear up the mystery for me. Another positive highlight of the process was having Stephanie Carwile fight to get my home the way I wanted it. If you want to do it right, get Stephanie on the job. I am so happy to have had someone leading the work on the house with my best interests at heart. Her attention to detail and quality is apparent the minute you walk in the house. Friends, family, even the inspector made comments on the commitment to quality. She went as far as scraping off runaway paint spots from the faucets with her own fingernails so as not to damage them (had to mention that one)! I can't wait to have some more of my friends to decide to move into the area. I'll definitely be recommending Mike, Stephanie, and Sandcastle homes. Thanks again for the great experience, guys!

I ended up having to go in front of the review board on June 4th. I called Angela Vera for advice and she went further than I expected - she accompanied me to meet with the review board. Angela did a fantastic job of demonstrating our case based on comparables in the area. It was a slam dunk! Thank you, Angela! You were fantastic!

We are very pleased. It has withstood Ike without damage, as well as a freak whip storm that hit the Galleria area in 2008.It has been very inexpensive to maintain. It is well insulated and as a result our electric bills in the summer are low. We strongly recommend Sandcastle homes.

Very much enjoyed working with the staff at Sandcastle throughout the whole process. It is exactly what I was looking for and is centrally located for all the things I like to do in Houston. I looked around the market for several months and could not find anything comparable in the price and quality that I found at Skyline. I would highly recommend Sandcastle Homes for those looking for an excellent product at a great price.

The quality of the home, the location, and the size of the yard, exceeded all our expectations. Just a few important details I immediately noticed were how well the home was insulated, state of the art plumbing “switch” box, and they furnished the kitchen with top of the line appliances. Mike was available by e-mail or phone every day of the week, and if I needed to reach him on the weekends, he was available. If you have any customer service questions, their staff is very professional and is very quick to respond. We purchased the house in Dec 08 and only had a couple warranty issues to deal with, one year later and Jo handled them immediately. If you are looking for a great product/price, family oriented company; I would highly recommend Sandcastle Homes for your next purchase.
