Julie and Jim build some of the most beautiful homes. Both do a great job with the building process and working through the extensive process of building a home. Teal Creek goes above and beyond making sure even the little details are not missed to make sure you have the best possible experience. Jim and Julie are not your typical builders as they are truly involved with each home and focus on quality not quantity. Overall they are professional, knowledgeable, great communication, attentive to our questions and concerns, flexible, fair, and genuinely good people. We would recommend them to friends and colleagues without hesitation.

Jim and Julie were very professional and fun to work with, usually very quick with communication and updates.
Julie and their design team was very helpful with guiding us in our choices of finishes to make sure everything we chose not only looked good on it's own, but was in harmony with the other choices we had made.
As another reviewer mentioned, it seemed like almost every time I swung by the house to check on progress that Jim was on site in some capacity to make sure things were proceeding and done correctly.
There were a few miscommunications along the way, but were typically quickly resolved to our satisfaction.
We aren't quite done with our build yet, so will come back a...

Teal Creek Homes has been a pleasure to work with for all of their design needs. Their company takes a lot of pride in what they do from a construction and client standpoint. Jim and Julie show attention to detail from the design all the way to construction. R+RD has helped them on their architectural design and interior design needs. While working with their clients we have heard nothing but praise for their efforts throughout the full process. Make sure you contact Jim and Julie Young at Teal Creek Homes for your next home, and let us at R+RD help you design your dream home for them to build!

Teal Creek Homes is an excellent custom home builder--smart, professional, knowledgeable, and fun to work with! From the design phase, through build and punch, Teal Creek listened to our "needs" and "wants" and helped to incorporate them into our finished home. Both Jim and Julie were great communicators and kept us apprised of delays, changes and progress during the build. Their sub-contractors were experienced craftsmen who appeared to enjoy building, which is always a pleasure to be around. We are very happy with the finished product and highly recommend Teal Creek Homes for any home building you may have in the future. Great builders, but more importantly, great people!

I decided to not only buy my first home, but also to build. Jim and Julie were great through the entire process. The biggest seller for me was the quality of work on their custom homes, couldn't compare to any of the magazine builds. Both Jim and Julie were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and communicative through the process. I could not recommend anyone better, and am looking forward to enjoying our new home for the years to come!

Jim is a builder that takes pride in what he does and pays attention to detail. If you were thinking about building I would highly recommend jim. With Jim's engineering and building background, he is second to none.

From our first meeting with Jim Young we knew we had found the builder of our next home. My wife and I have been through multiple builds and remodels in the past and had a good idea of what we wanted. Jim and Julie made that a reality with our new Teal Creek Home.
Jim was on site a lot which gave us a feeling of confidence that everything was being done correct and on time. Jim also kept in contact with us sending us updates on what was happening and what was next on the schedule. Receiving frequent updates was very important to us both and something we really appreciated about Jim. The building process seemed very smooth and seldom were there days that would go by where there wasn’...
