Concord, MA “Sterling Homes is a modular home builder that values affordable, energy-efficient design. The team’s commitment to high quality workmanship, willingness to problem-solve with us, and dedication to our project were invaluable to the successful completion of our custom modular home. We built a strong relationship of mutual respect and trust with Russ and his team. And we really appreciated Russ’s approach of giving us options so that we could make informed decisions. Also, he's funny which helped us keep perspective whenever we got stressed. We would highly recommend Sterling Homes to other homeowners -- in fact, we already have.”
Lexington, MA "Sterling Homes has replaced three outside doors and frames, replaced our outside deck, located a chronic leak in the roof, replaced roofing and flashing and repaired a badly water damaged parquet floor. The quality of the work was consistently first rate. You and your subs were responsive, skilled and careful to avoid damage to the house and the grounds near the work areas. All of you were pleasant and easy to work with. My wife and I would be very pleased to be used as a reference for you."
Wellesley, MA "The Sterling Homes team is a well oiled machine. Russ’s enthusiasm and professionalism is consistently mirrored by his sub-contractors. Everyone was courteous, prompt, and accommodating. Whenever there was a need for a change order or an added request, Russ and his partners were on top of it right away. Russell did an excellent job of keeping us up to date on all that was happening. He also gave us detailed information and ample time to make any decisions about available options and/or possible changes.
We love our new home. Inside and out, it is gorgeous... from the high ceilings in the basement to the built-in dressers in the attic. The open floor plan for the first floor is fantastic. Our granite island is the heart of the new home and we love being together in the space. And our master bath should be in magazines! Every part of it is what we wanted. I will recommend SH wholeheartedly. Russ is a true professional. He was on time, on budget, and he delivered what he promised. Russ seemed to really enjoy the process as much as we did. He was fun to work with and we feel like we made a new friend in the process."
Weston, MA "We came to Sterling Homes looking for a design team that could help us renovate our older ranch style house. We had a limited budget and a tight schedule to get the work accomplished… Sterling ran through various designs and costs with us and helped us with the agonizing process of evaluating our desires for the end product, our budget limits, and our schedule constraints. Ultimately, we chose not to expand but to build anew – a decision we have never regretted. Russ and his team were efficient with the design and construction process, and were helpful about explaining budget choices and what the trade-offs would be. If we come to the point of building another home, Sterling will be our first choice for the work.”
West Roxbury, MA “When we decided to do a major home renovation we chose Russell Busa and Sterling Homes because we were looking for a home builder with integrity and skill. We were not disappointed. Despite the many challenges inherent in renovating an old structure in a dense urban neighborhood, the Sterling team worked quickly and efficiently in transforming our cute but outdated old house into a beautiful new home. Along the way Russell was always responsive to our questions and concerns. With the vision of an experienced builder, Russell's creative design ideas were the key to the successful outcome of this project. We couldn't be more pleased with our new home - the envy of our neighbors! For anyone looking for quality construction with the personal touch, we would recommend Sterling Homes in a heartbeat.”
Sudbury, MA "When preparing to build our custom home, we interviewed several home builders who were well-qualified. Ultimately we chose Russ Busa because he cared the most. Russ’s personal involvement in every aspect of building our home was the key to successfully completing a challenging project. Sterling Homes not only produced a beautiful home, but did so on budget and on time."
Salisbury, MA "From our first meeting, my husband and I were very comfortable with Russ. He was very professional and took the time to explain every detail and answer every question we had. Even though we were only building a relatively small house, we were treated in the same manner as a customer who was building a million dollar home! Russ is a very conscientious and meticulous contractor."
