We ALWAYS appreciate our clients...

We always appreciate our clients and are thrilled when they take the time to appreciate us!  Evan Ratcliff, our primo project manager, received the following letter of thanks.

Evan,

REALLY appreciate you fixing the gas leak!  ... We closed on the loan today so hopefully you'll be working on more interesting things shortly. Again thank you very much.

FYI, talked to Kevin today and told him how much we appreciate your help and how good you are. He agreed and was appreciative of the compliment. You're working for a really good guy.

Thanks again.

N. Dallas Custom Home Building: Before and During

Key Residential is currently building a luxury custom home in North Dallas. Our clients purchased the ideally located property with an existing home on it a few years ago.

With an existing structure in place, the first step to building our client's dream home was demolition.

After demolition, the lot is ready for foundation.

With the foundation poured, we are ready for framing.

It's beginning to come together.

Tyvek house wrap and Jeld-Wen windows ready the home for all weather protection.

With masonry and stucco, the home is finally beginning to resemble a masterpiece.
