Testimonials

We share with our clients a great passion for quality, trust, and vision.

“Tolaris Homes did a complete remodel on our home in Lake Forest. Kitchen, living room (including removing walls) floors, bathrooms, Master Bedroom and Master bath. We selected Tolaris because we had seen some of the homes in our neighborhood that were built by Tolaris and we were impressed by the quality of their work. From start to finish, we had excellent communication, they delivered what they promised, were pleasant to have around and were respectful of our wishes.”

“I just wanted to let you know that after having been in our new, Tolaris (Homes) built, home for about 6 months, we could not be more pleased. We continue to receive rave reviews from our friends and other visitors. The fact that I have not contacted you during this time with a long list of items to be fixed, adjusted, corrected, completed, etc. speaks volumes for the job that Tolaris did for us. Thanks again.”

“Tolaris Homes built our custom home on a lot that we owned. Rick Bavec (president) personally acted as superintendent. Through conception, design, and construction he was always accommodating and fair in his dealings with us and with his fine group of subcontractors. Our project was completed substantially on budget and on time. Tolaris has also been helpful since we took ownership.”

Stan Smith and Patty Donahue

"After working with Tolaris Homes for two years we can say, without hesitation, they are the best in their field. You can walk through any one of Tolaris’ homes and see, in every room, the meticulous attention to detail and commitment to providing their homeowners with exceptional results.”

The Williams Family

“We chose Tolaris homes as our builder and we feel good about our decision. Rick Bavec was available via email or phone when we had questions. He honestly guided us through the entire project. Also suggested few energy saving tips that now we see the benefits. After moving in, support was amazing. Quality of construction and other finishes was very good to excellent. Friends who visited our house could tell the difference. Tolaris subcontractors were flexible to our last minute design changes.”

“I am pleased to recommend Tolaris Homes to anyone who is interested in having quality work performed by experienced personnel. From planning, to materials selection, to installation, the crews were professional and worked when scheduled. That’s a big plus. They were also conscious of keeping a clean environment, not an easy task during renovations. More than a year later, I am still happy with the workmanship. Thank you Rick and Larry and, of course, all your employees.”

Janet Sutmire

“Our home is well built, beautiful, and the experience from start to finish was something worth writing to you about. I sincerely hope that if you ever have a potential customer on the fence you ask them to contact our family about our experience and for insight on the quality of the final product you delivered to us. We can’t say enough about how thrilled we are with the entire transaction, including how phenomenal our new home turned out. All the best and thanks to Tolaris for making this such a pleasant and special experience.”

Jeremy Burr

“We have recommended Rick Bavec & Tolaris Homes many times. When we signed with them to build our current home we were told how long it would take. They were right on time. Throughout the process we were able to consult with Rick regarding any changes we wished to make. Our questions were always dealt with in a calm and friendly manner and resolved to our satisfaction. We regard Rick as a very reliable friendly and trustworthy person and feel as a builder he gave us fair value for money and the resulting property to be excellently built and one for which we still receive very many compliments.”
