TESTIMONIALS FROM HAPPY OWNERS

“We had an excellent experience with R.L. Owens and would highly recommend them as custom home builders! They were always in communication with me, and they stuck by their promises. Rod was personally on the job site every day, making sure the construction process went along smoothly. Because of Rod's direct involvement, he was able to address any questions or concerns immediately.”

- David and Ana Scholtz


"We had a very positive experience with R.L. Owens Construction and Development! As an individual, Rod is fair and easy to work with. We were impressed with his responsiveness, even after our home was completed. I remember a specific time that we contacted Rod for a few repairs. Even though some builders can be hard to reach once the home is built, Rod was receptive and took care of our needs quickly. We would highly recommend R.L. Owens!"

- Skip Scheidemantel

"We really appreciated the way Rod with R.L. Owens Construction handled the building process of our custom home. He and his wife Pam Owens, the sales agent, made a great team and were very thorough. In the end our business relationship became more of a friendship and this made the whole transition easier.”

- Dwite and Terra Kelly

“Originally we had our own floor plan for our custom home, but after Rod showed us one of his homes with an open layout, we realized it would be perfect for our family! He was able to offer more square footage for the money and was willing to work with us to create exactly what we wanted. Throughout the entire process Rod was incredibly easy to reach, and we enjoyed working with him. Because you hear about so many stories about home building nightmares, we were pleasantly surprised that our experience was positive. We would definitely recommend R.L. Owens Construction and Development!”

- Gary and Lisa Overstreet

 

 


TOP 10 REASONS TO CHOOSE R.L. OWENS

1. When choosing between new or pre-owned, consider that a new home from R.L. OWENS Construction better energy efficiency (which means lower utility bills), brand-new appliances, and warranties that cover your new home from the foundation to the roof. A R.L. OWENS home is ready for you to move into without the hassles of repainting and cleaning. You'll also be treated to current innovations in building, so you won't have to worry about past dangers like asbestos or lead paint. And, when you're part of the building process from the foundation to the roof, you can feel secure that your new home is built to last.

2. Plus, your new R.L. OWENS home is built just for you from the ground up. It reflects your personal tastes, not someone else's tastes that may be outdated. R.L. OWENS Construction offers more personalizing choices than any other homebuilder from location to floor plans, and décor to financing. We do the homework for you, exploring the latest in energy efficient appliances, flooring, foundations, interiors and more. Then we let you do the fun part you get to imagine the possibilities. With R.L. OWENS Construction, you pay only for what's important to you—whether it's a fireplace or gourmet kitchen, an oversized tub or hardwood floors.

3. In a new home, you'll be the first person to walk on the carpet, cook on the stove and barbecue in the backyard. You can relax and enjoy your home instead of using your free time for fixer-upper repairs.

4. With a new R.L. OWENS home, you have the advantage of one-stop shopping. You'll be working with one company, in one convenient place, to purchase, finance and personalize your new home. First, we help you determine exactly what you can afford. We'll walk you through the loan application process. We look at financing not only the home but any extra options and upgrades you might want. So you can get more home without paying for it all up-front. You can design the home you want and pay only for those design options that you want. And it's possible that many design options can be included in your mortgage loan, so you don't need to use cash or your credit cards.

5. R.L. Owens homes are energy efficient, and you have the option of wiring for today and future technology. Everything from automatic bread-makers to personal computers to large screen TVs can tax an older home's electrical system beyond its limits.

6. You can move into your home, designed especially for you, when it's completed. You won't be saddled with last-minute inspections and surprises after, which often happens with a used home.

7. It's often easier to get to know your neighbors—you all have your new neighborhood in common.

8. You have the peace of mind of a limited warranty, something you won't get when you buy a used home.

9. Flexible financing options help you own your dream home. We can educate you about down payments, how to improve your credit and other information for first-time homebuyers. We offer these services even if you decide not to buy a R.L. OWENS home. You'll get a prequalification letter that you can take elsewhere on your house-hunting search.

10. You’re Buying From NAHB Registered Builder. R.L. Owens Construction is an approved Registered Builder with the National Home Builders Association and the Home Builder Association of Louisville. That means we’ve undergone an extensive screening process assessing our experience level and financial stability and passed careful inspection of our work and that of our subcontractors.
