Testimonials

We are committed to the satisfaction of every client. Below are two stories which represent that commitment.

 "We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for making our building process so enjoyable.  We have heard about the challenges that many people have endured when building new homes, but we have nothing but great things to say about our experience with B.L. Rieke and Associates. Whenever we were told something by you or your team the commitment was always honored, which meant a lot to us."

 "In particular we would like to thank our superintendent, Rob Munson.  We made a great deal of changes to our original plan and Rob was very patient with us, and his input added substantial value.  We both have jobs which are demanding of our time and were fortunate to have a trustworthy person like Rob keeping us informed and following up on issues in a manner in which we had a great deal of confidence."

"We also added extensive trim detail to our home and would like to thank Lynn Ringwood and his team of trim carpenters who performed a job which was second to none. We would recommend B.L. Rieke to anyone planning to build a new home, and want to thank you for building us a terrific home that we enjoy immensely." — Russ & Rhonda Otte

"I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the wonderful job you and your company have done for me.  This is not the first home I have built; in fact it is the third. I guess 'the third time is the charm' because it has been the most stress-free experience thus far."

"Besides having a beautiful home, I have the comfort of knowing that if there is a problem there will be someone to fix it right away.  It is very normal to have minor adjustments that need to be made, but it is not normal to have immediate response to a problem.  I am just amazed at how you have put together a team that operates like a well oiled machine. And, they’re all likeable people, the kind you would invite into your home.  I know you can credit Karen Long for much of this, but there is also Dana Dunn who makes a point to be sure that everything is okay both before and after the sale.  Your office staff is so courteous and helpful. In short, congratulations and thank you again.  I will refer you to others and would most certainly build with you again, (except that I’m staying here; you can’t have my beautiful home)." —Sheila Lewis

"When I decided to move back to Kansas City after many years in California and Texas, I was disappointed in the model homes I saw because they didn't have the open feeling that I was used to -- high ceilings, open floor plans that were conducive to entertaining a large group. After deciding on B.L. Rieke because of the attention to detail that distinguished their models, I met with Bruce Rieke to discuss what I was looking for. Not only did he work with me on what I wanted, but even helped modify the plans to fully satisfy my expectations and cost requirements.

Building a home in southern Kansas while still living in Texas could have been a major challenge. However, Bruce and his staff (particularly Paul Hill who accommodated my schedule throughout the process whenever I was able to fly up to the construction site) came through in all instances. Our home is exactly what we had envisioned and we continue to receive compliments from our friends and other visitors. All issues we encountered during the building process, and the months following our move-in, have been resolved in a very timely and professional manner. I have the highest regard for the B.L. Rieke team in coming through for us. We are so proud of our new home." — Patrick O'Keefe

There is no better place to live than a B.L. Rieke home! We toured the model of our new home on the first day that we began our search for a house plan that would suit our current lifestyle. We fell in love with the “Highland”. Even after looking citywide for nearly a year, we kept going back to the Rieke models. We looked at B.L. Rieke homes in many developments, at every stage of construction. We saw nothing that matched their workmanship and attention to detail and quality. Bruce Rieke personally met with us prior to our contract signing and we were immediately impressed by his emphasis on customer satisfaction. In the early stages, he gave us constructive feedback on everything from lot selection to the placement of our laundry room folding counter. The B.L. Rieke team was available to us throughout the building process. Susan Scholl at McIntyre Mann was a pleasure to work with and invaluable in the interior design phase. Terri Mott at Rensenhouse made choosing light fixtures unbelievably enjoyable and she went out of her way to cater to our individual taste. Both of these ladies helped us create beautiful detailing in our home as did the specialty painter, stone masons, landscapers, finish carpenter, tile setters . . . the list goes on and on! In working at the home site with Christian, Ben, and Ron, our questions were answered promptly. Any concerns that we had were addressed and resolved. We can truly say that the home that we moved into is exactly what we envisioned. We highly recommend B.L. Rieke Custom Home Builders to anyone who is considering building or buying a new home!
