"We first heard about Riverland Homes from a neighbor whose lovely Lake Oswego home had just been built by them. After interviews with several builders, it was clear that John Chlopek and Chris Bittner, partners in Riverland Homes, were who we wanted to work with. We decided to hire them, and it was the best decision we could have made.

We were nervous first-time home builders with a very specific, and relatively modest, budget. From the very beginning, John scheduled weekly meetings with us throughout the home building process and patiently guided us through the decisions we needed to make, always with an eye to our budget.

The net result was a beautiful, well-built and comfortable home which we continue to enjoy nearly four years later. One of the most satisfying parts of the process was doing the final walkthrough with John and realizing we had just built a beautiful home and that it had been done within our budget.

As satisfied as we were at the walkthrough, we realized how much we were going to miss our weekly meetings with John and the close working relationship we had with Chris and the rest of his team. Because of their professionalism, integrity and honesty, our first-time homebuilding experience was a positive one and we would not hesitate to work with them again."
