Custom Home Builder reviews across the US

I had reached out to Robert Lord to inquire about their procedures on a new construction project we had in mind, and he went above and beyond explaining everything. I was amazed at how much time he shared with me (as is not the case with various other custom builders I had previously contacted) and he was super patient answering all my detailed questions, very kind and warm.

Having worked with Lord General Contractors for almost 20 years we are glad to recommend them to architects and homeowners and can assure them of Lord GC’s history of completing homes within agreed upon time frames and with 100% customer satisfaction.

Robert Lord General Contractor is both an amazing new home builder and an extremely genuine and personable realtor. 10/10 would recommend for building the finest quality luxury home that money can buy.

Robert was extremely helpful in analyzing a property acquisition and provided quality information which led to a positive outcome. His follow up was very timely and information provided was exceptional!! A quality builder who I would highly recommend!!

“We chose Robert Lord to build our home after viewing many other builders because of his attention to detail and style. Rob Lord is a very hands-on builder who is on site daily overseeing the construction of your home and making sure everything is exactly as you have specified. He is as concerned about the finished product as if it was his own home. We have been in our custom built home for almost a year with no troubles, and have had so many compliments on the beautiful details of our home. I would highly recommend Rob Lord to anyone moving to our area. We would certainly build a home with him again!”

Does it matter? A well built home by a Master Builder is hard to find! I found one and have lived in my home built by Robert Lord for over ten years and I have bragging rights over our friends homes who have used other like local builders whose homes have needed cabinet repair, outside stair replacement, foundation and concrete repair. I have been told many times, I wish I used Robert Lord! He has attention to detail and knows what will stand the test of time.

Robert Lord has spent the past 25 years establishing an enviable reputation built on his commitment to quality, service, and innovation. Lord incorporates the best brands and the best-in-class construction practices to insure a delighted customer. He knows no other way.

Robert Lord built our custom home and we are extremely pleased with the end product. Robert's attention to detail and inclusion of small thoughtful touches, such as arched doorways, tray ceilings and second floor laundry, impressed us. He is committed to building high quality, feature rich homes that exceed customer expectations. His passion for the business and his honesty and integrity set him apart from the rest.

We went to a home for Lord General Contractors to certify it for Energy Star. The home was well built, modern, used advanced building techniques, and stands out from other builders I've worked with.
With over 10,000 Homes being tested in my career, the home I tested for Lord General Contractors stood out in several areas of testing including infiltration. Overall this builder hands down impressive.
10/10 would work with again.

Lord General Contractors built us our custom dream home, they are very professional and personable. As we all know, choosing a contractor isn't always an easy task and it's a long relationship but Lord General Contractors made this an easy decision. They treat you like family and accommodated us with every want and need we had. Robert is very patient and kind and addressed every situation need be during the project. I would recommend Lord General Contractors to anyone ...they will not disappoint!

Character, commitment and quality...these are the words that come to mind when after selecting Lord General Contractors Corporation for our construction project, and it all starts at the top. For our project, Robert Lord proved to be a down-to-earth, real, and approachable visionary who hears your dreams and is committed to bring them to life. He uses a hands-on approach and takes the time to see the work through from concept to completion with attention to detail at every stage of progress along the way.

If you're looking for a grand vision brought to reality with high quality results that exceed your expectations, look no further than Lord General Contractors. You won't be disappointed.

-Richard and Linda Landon

We looked at many homes in the area, new and existing, and we can honestly say we knew at first glance that Robert Lord’s homes were beyond compare. Certainly, the aesthetic features are second to none. Rob selects only the most beautiful, elegant and high quality tile, Brazilian cherry floors, cabinetry, granite, lighting, and the list goes on. In addition, he is fair and straightforward with his pricing which is unique among builders. However, what truly sets Rob apart is the quality of construction in all of his homes.

He uses only the most premium building materials, which is evident when you see how solid his homes are. Literally, when looking at homes we would jump on the main and 2nd floors, and Rob’s homes are so solid you feel like you’re jumping on the basement floor, no movement or sound! Robert Lord will spare no amount of time and attention to be certain the homes he builds are as perfect as his own, inside and out. What a wonderful feeling it is to truly love the home we’re in!

I wanted to take a moment to express what a pleasure it was building with Lord General Contractors. Throughout the entire process, everyone was extremely helpful and every detail was explained to me during the build. The quality of construction is second to none and all of the suppliers that Robert Lord uses are high quality products as well.

Robert was very involved throughout the process and his attention to detail was very impressive, as well as his knowledge of all the aspects of the different selections I made for the house.

I would definitely build again, or buy an existing Robert Lord home based on the quality, on-time delivery, and customer service he provides.

Rob Lord is the best of the best. I have never met anyone who cares more about attention to detail.

I can't say enough good about his experience and knowledge. He makes sure things are done properly. Doing things correctly is much cheaper and enjoyable than doing again later.

He will not stop until he finds the right person or company to do the job right the first time.

My wife and I still are living in our new Lord house and we couldn't be happier!!!!

His knowledge of home building and efficiency is second to none. I am always disappointed when I have to hire other contractors. They just don't have the skills Rob has.

Lord blows them all away.

I can't wait to have him build us another house again someday.

5 stars plus!!!!!!!

I have known Robert Lord for over 10 years and was introduced to him by a friend who Robert was custom building a new house for in Iowa. I have since moved to Florida about 5 years ago and still keep in touch and follow his incredible custom build projects. Robert and his wife are the real deal if you want a truly custom home with the best craftsmanship around. He is a national award winning builder and it shows. I seen his projects from start to finish and he is the most knowledgeable builder I know and always educates himself on the latest and greatest innovations in building. Robert gives 110% to each client's dream and delivers as promised and delivers beyond his clients expectations!. I was a Real Estate Broker for 20 plus years in Minnesota and his work speaks for itself. I would hire Lord General Contractors for my next custom dream home with-out hesitation! I highly recommend you strongly consider them at the top of your list.

2 years ago, we embarked on our journey to find the appropriate spot to build our dream home.

The first step in this journey was to find the ideal general contractor with the experience and ability to complete our once-in-a-lifetime event. After much research and several hours of discussions with many different contractors, we found Robert Lord and didn't look back.

Every conversation with Robert is an illustration of his passion for home construction as he explains the details of the tasks that lie ahead. From helping us select the right location, to aiding in home design, to dealing with the unknowns a custom build brings, Robert is indeed a master of his craft.

A famous quote comes to mind, "To whom much is given, much is expected." Robert knows what is expected of him and he takes that responsibility seriously each day and with every step. Trusting someone to build your home isn't easy. Giving Robert the huge responsibility to ensure your expectations are met WAS and CONITNUES TO BE easy.

It was a pleasure working with Rob. He is extremely knowledgeable about building quality custom homes in coastal regions. He does not cut corners and pays attention to every detail in his builds. Thanks again for everything!

Robert Lord from Lord General Contractors did outstanding work for me. His deep knowledge of local building requirements and permitting on the Pinellas County beaches was invaluable, as was his familiarity with trusted local subcontractors. He helped secure competitive bids and provided excellent guidance throughout the process.

Communication was a breeze—Robert was responsive, professional, and always kept me informed. His fees were fair, his billing was transparent, and he went above and beyond to ensure I was happy with the results.

I’m thoroughly impressed with Robert’s work and wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again for future projects. Highly recommend!

I met Robert Lord almost 20 years ago while working for him as a Custom Cabinet Designer in Illinois. His passion, and desire for excellence was unmatched by anyone I had ever met before. Roberts attention to detail was incredible and infectious, he made you want to be better! I was fortunate and blessed to work with Robert in designing cabinetry for many of his houses, and I can honestly say that working with Robert made me into a better designer. What started out as a working relationship became a friendship that I value very much to this day. I can honestly say that Robert Lord is one of the best contractors I've ever come across and would recommend him to everyone and anyone.

In Illinois I was Honored to venture through the first official Green Home with a zero carbon foot print. Was invited to a News cast recording where I got to see a professional anchor News person walk through the house with Robert Lord.

I've always been impressed with the Top of the line quality products Mr. Lord uses to build his houses and buildings. I would definitely recommend his work and often do to those looking for the designer custom built work he and his contracting team does SOOO Well.

Robert Lord builds your house as if he were building his own. His attention to detail is unrivaled and his knowledge of products is unparalleled. During the building process we were in daily communication and Robert came up with ideas during our conversations that FAR SURPASSED my own. I have always believed that collaboration results in the best possible outcome, and this house is the perfect example of that. Every inch of this house was finished to the highest standards and highest quality. Each room has a breathtaking feature that elicits ooooohs and aaaahhhs from everyone who's seen them. Even the tradesmen who worked on this house are amazed by its beauty. Robert's tradesmen are definitely the best in the business and many times during this process made the impossible: possible. Everything in this house FAR SURPASSED my expectations (and trust me my expectations were high). You CANNOT go wrong choosing Lord General Contractors Corporation. I couldn't possible love my Robert Lord home more.
