No surprises
Homeowners say he told them what to expect and then did it, often ahead of schedule.
What homeowners say
"Hands down best builder around"
"From the very beginning Bart and his staff were completely professional, easy to work with and exceptionally organized. Everything he told us to expect was precisely what happened… There wasn't one day someone wasn't working on our house."
The Glazes, Waguespack homeowners
"A real class act!!! We couldn't be happier with the level of friendliness, professional quality and service we received from Bart and Brandy… all hands on deck with solutions throughout the construction process."
"Mr. Waguespack is a conscientious and organized builder. He returns telephone calls in a very timely manner and is patient when answering questions and finding solutions. We are very pleased with our new home!"
"Bart built our home in Pelican Point and did a great job… Even after we moved in (ahead of schedule!) he has taken care of any minor issues that have come up."
"Through 'weekly phone meetings' you laid out your plans for the week… We felt like you cared just as if it were your home."
"High quality materials, smart design features resulting in leterally no wasted space and spot on curb appeal!!!"
"Bart just built my beautiful home and he was great to work with! He really understood my vision and helped me make it come true."

Good questions
Before you build
Can I bring my own house plans?
Yes. You're welcome to bring your own plans, and if you don't have any yet, we'll help you design a home that fits your family and your lot.
Where do you build?
Right now we're building new homes in The Village at Conway in Gonzales. If you already own land elsewhere in Ascension Parish, give Bart a call and ask. He'll tell you straight whether it's a fit.
How long does a custom home take?
It depends on the size of the home, the plan and the weather. We'll give you an expected move-in date at the start and keep you posted every week along the way.
How does financing work for a new build?
Most custom homes are financed with a construction loan that converts to a mortgage when the home is finished. Talk to your lender early. We're happy to work with the bank you choose and provide the plans and pricing they need.
Will I be able to reach you during the build?
Yes. You'll deal with Bart directly. As he puts it: "I answer the phone. I answer email."
Do you build commercial projects?
We hold a Louisiana commercial license as well as a residential one. Call to talk about your project.
