Subject: Our move to Holland Meadows
More than 21 years ago, we moved to Isle of Wight County from the more congested York County.
A few months ago we downsized to a new home in Holland Meadows, within the town limits of Windsor.
We have always loved Isle of Wight, with its small-town, country congeniality yet nearness to the "big cities", but now that we're within a five minute drive of our local stores, we love it even more.
Windsor is the perfect town - the local merchants know us by name, and, believe me, if you can't find it in Windsor, or they can't order it, you don't need it!! Yet, we're within a short drive to our children's homes, both in Williamsburg and Norfolk, and we know many locals who commute to Newport News and Hampton.
Windsor is the best of all worlds.
Come see us at Holland Meadows!

Dear Ashdon Builders,
From our initial meeting back in Feb 2009, when my wife and I were introduced to Debbie and Jaime, up to the excellent conversation I had with Mr. Cross covering the specific details of making our dream home a reality, I have continually been astonished by the attention to detail demonstrated by your builders. The vision that my wife and I had about our dream home you have definitely made a reality, so when the time came in October 2011 for me to consider a builder for an addition to our home, the obvious choice was Ashdon Builders. I want to personally thank Donnie Jr. for making our home one that we will absolutely enjoy for years to come. You have unquestionably earned our genuine recommendation as a builder of choice for all to consider for any construction needs!!
Sincerely,
–The Brown Family

Subject: Letter for you! Thank you for EVERYTHING!!!
We truly are not sure where to start! We looked for several years at new construction homesites and finally chose Chapel Hill Estates in the Hickory area of Chesapeake. Ashdon Builders and Amy Thomas At Chapel Hill Estates went above and beyond for us. It is such a wonderful feeling to come home from work everyday and think to yourself or say to your spouse, I love our house. We moved to CHE in Aug 2011 from Suffolk, Virginia and every day it has been a blessing to us. We have a wonderful home that is close to everything you could possibly want or need. I do have to say that Amy was truly a huge reason for our choice to purchase in Chapel Hill Estates. She showed us the gorgeous model and we just knew it was everything we wanted in a house. I have to say I drove by our home while it was being built and took pictures on a daily basis, we just couldnt wait to close on our house and move in. With every home buying/building process there are always bumps along the way, we never felt as though any of our concerns were not addressed and remedied in a timely fashion. The Hickory Schools are more than we could have ever hoped for, for our two children that are still in school, the staff is wonderful and truly goes above and beyond. The end result of our new home in one word, "FABULOUS"! We have to commend Amy, Ashdon Builders and all of their subs for being so gracious through the entire process, and a very big thank you to to the entire Ashdon family. WE LOVE OUR HOUSE!!!
Thank you,

Dear Ashdon Builders,
We picked CHE because of its location. My wife and I love Chesapeake and the Great Bridge area and all that it has to offer. We are within a short drive from work, shopping and entertainment. Additionally, CHE is located in an outstanding school district - an extremely important factor for our decision to build our house in CHE. When we drove into CHE for the first time, we visited each of the builders. Amy Thomas and Ashdon builders went above and beyond in working with us as we built our very first house. Amy was available at anytime and worked closely with us as we picked out our options. The final product delivered to us was beyond all expectations and my family is extremely happy with our new home.
Thank you,

Dear Ashdon Builders Team,
Thank you for my wonderful new home!
I started the home buying experience like everyone else...talk to a realtor, start looking at houses, and imagining all the things I would change in each one to make it "mine". And then I met Jamie and Sharon at Ashdon and began to consider building a brand new home with all my "must haves" planned from the beginning.
I knew I wanted to stay in Chesapeake and the modified floor plan for the ranch style model in Winston Trace was the perfect, affordable choice for me. After a few months of working within my dreams and my budget, I moved into my new home and LOVE it!
I watched the building process every day and worried about every beam that went up - but Jamie and Sharon patiently answered all my questions and concerns. I agonized over everything from house color to light switches and they supported me all the way. I was warned by many that house closings are always challenging and to be ready for a delay…but everything went smoothly from beginning to end. The Ashdon team worked together on my behalf and I know I have a great house from top to bottom.
It's a terrific and friendly neighborhood and I'd encourage all potential home owners to come by for a look. I plan to be there for many years to come and hope to have many Ashdon Builder neighbors soon!
Thanks so much,
–Sarah Claassen

Dear Ashdon Builders,
As soon as we visited Chapel Hill Estates, we knew it was where we wanted to live. After searching through many communities in the Chesapeake area, we chose Chapel Hill Estates for many reasons. With children on the way, we looked for a place where we could feel safe and raise our kids in a family-oriented neighborhood. Also, Chapel Hill Estates is in a school system that is among the best in Hampton Roads. Finally, the quality of the houses built in Chapel Hill Estates was very inviting. With Ashdon Builders, we were able to build a house that had all of the amenities and luxuries we had hoped for in a home. From the friendly atmosphere to the floor plans, we have found everything we want in a community and home.

Dear Ashdon Builders,
I got tired of paying someone else's mortgage. If I'm going to spend this amount of money, I may as well pay my own mortgage and have my own home.

Dear Ashdon Builders,
After months and months of searching for the right home, we came across Ashdon Builders. We
chose an Ashdon home simply because; they were affordable, well built, and their location. The
staff was very warm and inviting, which made our decision much easier. As first time home
buyers; we wanted something that we did not have to fix on, that was different from the other
places we had seen, and a wonderful neighborhood to raise our family in; and Green Tree
Commons had all that and much more to offer.

Dear Ashdon Builders,
Thanks so much for making the purchase of our condo such a pleasant experience. Dwight and I were treated very professionally during the entire process. We are totally enjoying the new lifestyle of condo living. We appreciate the friendly and timely response that we receive whenever we have any concerns that need to be addressed. Ashdon Builders choose a very desirable area to develop GreenTree Commons. Work, church, shopping, school & activities are all just minutes away. We especially love to retreat in our spacious custom-designed master suite. Our condo offers luxury living at an affordable price. It's exciting to see the community growing at such a fast pace and to see the sign indicating the number of "units sold" increase regularly, so that we can meet more of our new neighbors.

Dear Amy and Ashdon Builders,
Dee, Jamie, and I are very grateful to all of you for the care and expediency in building our new home.
After spending the last several years totally remodeling our home in California and then finding that my job was being transferred to Chesapeake, we wanted a house that was turnkey and needed no additional modifications.
Amy handled all of our requests and modifications to the floor plan in a prompt professional manner and never seemed to tire of my barrage of questions. I honestly do not know how we could have gotten our house built being on the opposite coast without Amys communication and diligence to ensure that everything was being built exactly how we wanted it done.
Once we moved to VA, everyone in the building process starting with Amy all the way down to contractors has been friendly and extremely easy to deal with.
I would highly recommend Amy Thomas, Ashdon Builders, and Chapel Hill Estates to anyone looking to move to the Chesapeake area.

Dear Ashdon Builders,
The homebuying experience was an emotional rollercoaster.
I couldn't ask for a better location, Crystal Lake South is nestled in Cheaspeake with a country setting.
Like many others, my home to date is the most expensive purchase that I have made thus far in my life. I was searching
for a location, a floorplan that fit my lifestyle, a reputable builder that was willing to customize for a reasonable price,
and most of all the feeling that my needs, opinions, and contenment with the final product is important to all parties involved.
I believe that I found it all at Crystal Lake South.
Mr. Kelvin Demps did an outstanding job at meeting my needs and working with me. Not a single question went unanswered.
Kelvin made it clear that he represented the builder, but his genuine warmth and display of concern was reassuring and refreshing.
The fact that he lives in the community himself, shows his confidence in the product that he is selling...Kelvin's customer service is
phenomenal. He consistently called and followed up and advised of the home's progress. I couldn't ask for a better agent to
work with throughout this process.
During the walk-through, Charlie knew my house inside and out, his attention to detail is outstanding. He answered all of my questions
and provided me with detailed explanations and instructions on how to use, clean, and preserve the home. Charlie's concern about
our contentment and enjoyment of the home was well-received and inviting. I can tell that he put a lot of time and dedication into
ensuring that the home was built not only to the laws and construction code standards, but to Charlie's standards as well.
Both Kelvin and Charlie are awesome assets and representatives for Ashdon Builders...Here at Crystal Lake South, I feel confident in the
customer services and the willingness of everyone to ensure that the home is as perfect as it can be not only by Kelvin and Charlie but also
by Barbara. Within the first week, she contacted me and advised of how she addressed my concerns during the walkthrough process.
Bottomline, I bought in Crystal Lake South because of Kelvin's outstanding professionalism and customer service. I closed with confidence on
the twenty-eighth of October, 2009, because of Charlie's expertise...God bless.

To all our Friends at Ashdon,
What a way to start our new life together!
The LORD put us both on a path that lead to each other and we wanted to begin our marriage in a new home.
From the first moment we stepped into the model, it's been a complete dream
experience. It all started after being so graciously welcomed by the ladies on
the site. They are warm, friendly, very helpful, patient, and not to mention
genuinely interested in our total and complete happiness.
With each visit to the model or to the Construction site, the ladies, and even the Contractors, were all polite, courteous, and proud of the product they built as if it was their own. This truely made us feel like a member of the ASHDON family, and the anticipation of becoming an owner of such an elegant home, in a peaceful setting was overwhelming.
David has has several New Construction Homes and the ASHDON "Experience" has been superior based on the Commitment to Schedule and Quality in Workmanship.
The decision process, from color choices in tile, carpets, counters, cabinets, to design style, choices in faucets, floors and especially the lighting, were extremely easy due to the patience and guidance of the agents. Naturally, this all stems from their meticulous attention to detail and schedule.
Significant contruction progress was made weekly; All our options were completed as planned; All concerns/punch list items were and continue to be handled expeditiously and professional.
The Recommendation of Bay Mortgage was Grand, they initiated contact with us and maintained close communication throughout the building process, being prompt, kind and efficient.
We are extremely proud of our choice to go with ASHDON Builders and look forward to a lifetime of happiness in our Westchester Estates Home. We also, working in the customer service industry, feel it very important to let you know when you have a very happy customer.

I am writing on behalf of Kelvin Demps, site manager for Crystal Lake South. It
had been our dream for the past two years to own a home in Crystal Lake South.
Through our entire buying experience from site visitation, to contract planning,
Kelvins professional and personal demeanor was excellent. We felt as though we
were not only purchasing the home of our dreams, but establishing a friendship
as well. He is definately an asset to Ashdon Builders. We highly recommend not
only Ashdon Builders quality constructed homes, but also its professional and
kind sales people represented Kelvin Demps.

We dropped you a few lines to let you know how happy we are with the new home. the craftmanship, design, and the layout of the floor plan was awesome. We would like to let you all know that Mr. Bill Townsend at the Orchard Cove site was very helpful in our home buying experience. He made Detrich and I feel comfortable with all the contracts and keeping us informed on all the things that was going on. Detrich and I chose Bay Mortgage for our home loan, Bay Mortgage is one of your prefered lenders. John and Holly are the special people who helped Detrich and I with our loan. They were very experienced with getting everything together so we could close the loan in a timely manner. We thank you Ashdon Builders for the basket and the opportunity to own one of your homes. Everyone has been so nice to Detrich and I, we just want to say we are blessed.

Betty and I recently moved into our newly built home in Crystal Lake South, and we are very pleased and satisfied with the excellent quality work done by Ashdon Builders. Our requested features were implemented well and follow up service has been good. GREAT JOB.
Our home is simply lovely; I appreciate and give thanks to everyone who made my dream home a reality. I feel blessed each and every day and it all began when we met Amy Thomas.

Dear Ashdon Builders:
I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how appreciative I am for your dedication to building a quality home. When my husband and I decided to purchase new construction, we were immediately drawn to the contemporary homes you offered. The entire purchasing process seemed to seamlessly flow even beyond our closing date. I was very impressed by your employees who were always willing to meet my requests and coordinate with my own hectic schedule. As a result of this purchase, I even decided to follow the real estate field of work and became a real estate agent.
After a few years of showing and viewing new and old homes, it is nice to realize my investment with your construction company as a smart decision.
