Customer Testimonials
The Arces - Steeple Chase
My wife and I are very glad for what you had done in the past year. Our home for the first year came with several issues. This letter is not to complain, instead, to sincerely send our appreciation for keeping up with us and being there at all times when we needed you. I especially appreciate Chris. He was there before and after the job was done, checking constantly, and calling us first thing in the morning to let us know what is going to be done and how. He had to put up with all our issues and he was always so positive and polite about everything.
He showed me that there are still people who care, and that he is one of them. Anytime my wife and I have the chance, we recommended Caviness and Cates. A couple of our friends already were checking with you guys, and one already bought their home, which two of their friends already purchased a home at Steeplechase too.
Thank you for sending people so professional to deal with your clients, and especially let Chris know our appreciation for all the hard work he has done for us. “We count on Chris”
The Johnstons
Overall, we were very pleased with our buying experience from Caviness & Cates Building. We are most impressed with the builder’s handling of each and every concern we had: down to the smallest details such as paint spots. We’re extremely pleased with the overall process. Very efficient, and professionally managed. Would buy again with Cates!
The Sullivans - Summer Grove II
I would like to express our appreciation to Caviness and Cates and especially your Summer Grove home warranty superintendent, Emek Siddeem for the exceptional homeowner support that he provided us throughout 2011, but especially in November. During our warranty claims process period, Emek closely monitored the scheduled tradesmen for quality of work performed, ensuring our total satisfaction. He kept us informed all along with our work orders and followed up regularly. Most importantly, he kept the tradesmen on task and on schedule, ensuring minimum inconvenience to our family.
We certainly appreciated his courtesy and professionalism. He truly represented all the positive qualities of "service after the sale."
Please convey our appreciation and thanks to Emek on our behalf for his professionalism and attention to detail."
Lori Martel - The Real Estate Guys
Just wanted to send a note to say how much I appreciated the great service from your foreman. He was very professional and informative for my buyer. This was her first home purchase and is going through motherhood for the first time alone as well. I chose a Caviness and Cates home for her for this very reason. They have always taken great care of my clients and stood behind the homes they build, this will give her piece of mind and me as well. Natalie was also very helpful and the communication with her was great!"
The Hendricks - Emerson Park at Williamsburg Plantation
We sent you a discrepancy list last Tues. evening Feb. 23. Early Wed. morning, a warranty representative was on the phone with my husband. Wow! talk about timely.
He lined up and arranged for all of the work to be done in a short period of time. He has been wonderful to work with this past year. Thank you for making this transition easy. We truly appreciate it.
To that end all of the workers have been prompt, from the framer, the drywall guys and the painters and carpet layers and even all the folks who answer the phone. They have really been professional and courteous. Having been in the Military and moving all the time we have purchased many new homes. From CA to Georgia, from starter homes to upscale homes. This isn't the biggest home we have owned, but it fits our needs now and truly has been the best experience we have had. Thank you from the bottom of our heart to all connected to Caviness and Cates."
The Myers - The Pines at Westgate

All parties involved in helping me close on this property were extremely professional, helpful and courteous. Thank you for all your help."
The Cogdells - Roslin Farms West
My husband and I purchased a home from Caviness and Cates through Barbara Shoenberger and we have had a great experience from beginning to end. We fell in love with our home the moment we saw it. Our home was completed at its designated time and all the changes we requested to be made were honored.
We have been in the home for a year now and have had no major issues, and the few minor issues we have had at the one year inspection have been fixed in a professional and swift manner. Caviness and Cates has always gone above and beyond to ensure we were happy and satisfied customers. Their staff has always been friendly, professional and concerned with our requests, and we greatly appreciate that."
The Brooks - Steeple Chase

I have nothing but positive statements to share when it comes to your customer service!"

The Stranges - The Maples at Westgate
Our foreman was very, very helpful and answered all of our questions thoroughly. He went above and beyond. During our final walk through he was down to earth, friendly and very detailed when showing us the home. Then, he hand delivered the final paperwork to our closing location. Caviness and Cates are truly loyal people and it not only shows in their employees, but in their homes. The finishing details of our home are amazing and set it apart from other homes."
