Hear from all of our custom home build clients from the greater Cleveland area about what makes EKA Build different from the competition.

Modern, bright new kitchen with white tile, seafoam cabinets, and white marble island

“EKA Build takes custom home building to another level with their dedication and guidance throughout every step of the building process. When we first started exploring our options and made the decision to go the full custom route, we were initially very worried how stressful this process could become, but all of our fears were quickly gone when we met Ed and Angelica. They are both so passionate about what they do that they treated our home build as if it were their own. The exceptional craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail is what truly makes our house a home.”

Modern kitchen with rustic wood ceiling beams and a large island

“When we found EKA, we were looking for a builder who would listen to and understand our hopes and desires for our dream home. Angelica helped us so much with our vision and pairing down all of our ideas and thoughts. EKA has no smoke & mirrors when it comes to transparency about costs. We needed to trust the people who were handling the finances through and through. They helped us get what we wanted, but also kept the money factor in mind. I can't say enough about the expertise and professionalism Ed provided throughout the construction process. He took the time to answer every question, explain every detail, and listen to every concern. We know without a doubt that we moved into the home of our dreams.”

“Ed and Angelica work seamlessly together to create a structurally sound, beautiful home. Ed’s civil engineering experience shines through the entirety of the home design and build process. Angelica’s insight and guidance to create a timeless, gorgeous design while minimizing our stress during the decision making process was extraordinary. Their ability to ask the right questions upfront and gain insight into our personal design style allowed them to go above and beyond our expectations and treat the project like it was their own home. We are grateful for the time they both spent on biweekly phone calls, emails, texts, and meetings to ensure everything was decided in a timely manner. We are so thankful we chose EKA Build for our forever home.”

“We can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Ed and Angelica on the build of our new custom home! Every detail was so meticulously thought out and crafted to create our dream home! My husband and I are over the moon with the result, and we can’t thank them enough for all the hard work and design time that went in to creating a masterpiece! Thank you both, again!”

Custom spiral staircase up and down with white walls and wood banisters

“Ed and Angelica’s customer centered approach, open communication style and excellent references helped us choose EKA Build. We had a ravine in our lot, and Ed did an expert job of building the house without disturbing much of the natural landscape. The planning and execution was perfect, and the end product was even better than what we could have imagined. Ed and Angelica paid attention to every little detail, big and small, and never rushed. They kept budget and quality in mind, and worked with us to accommodate our wants without cutting corners.”

Covered entry to custom home made with wood truss and wood beam pillars with stone footers

“We purchased our EKA Build home and couldn't be happier with the quality and service provided by Ed and Angelica. Their attention to detail and custom design features still have family, friends, and neighbors commenting on how they love the look and design of our home. More impressive to me is their commitment to customer service, as we are now 18 months past our closing date and Ed and Angelica still make themselves available for many simple things like sharing a paint color for a room.”

– Frank P

Modern kitchen with all white, a custom build island, tile backsplash, and marble counters

“We could not be more thrilled with the process managed by Ed and Angelica! Ed’s flair for building science and construction separates an EKA home from most others. Ed was an integral part of the land search, providing us with expert perspective. Angelica was instrumental in picking out the finishing details, from floors to lighting and everything in between. Angelica and Ed went above and beyond what was in spec and delivered a floor plan that hit all the “must haves” but was still in harmony with our budget. They truly built our home as if they were building it for themselves. Every person that walks through our home can’t get over the build quality and finish work. Building a custom home is a huge undertaking, and having absolute trust in the people managing that project was key for my wife and I. EKA delivered on that trust from start to finish.”

– Ron D

Bright living room custom build with two story windows, balcony, and large stone fireplace with wood mantel

“We could not be happier with the entire process and final outcome! From start to finish, Ed and Angelica truly want their customers to be happy and satisfied. Ed makes sure things get done the right way. That was very important to us and is hard to find. Angelica is amazing with the details and helps walk you through every step. We love our house and if we ever build again, I wouldn't use anybody other than EKA Build!”

– Lisa T

Custom home in craftsman ranch style with stone faced sides and vertical plank siding

“There are so many adjectives to describe EKA Build: professional, courteous, honest, consistent, generous, punctual, helpful, and friendly, but the quality I admire the most in them is that they are trustworthy. Edward and his architectural staff brought our concept to life. We built a “tight” home as Ed says, bringing an efficiency that will ensure lower utility costs and comfort for decades to come. I cannot speak enough about the time, effort and patience EKA puts into every little detail. I found a chandelier I loved, but it was a bit pricey. Angelica would not rest until she found the very same chandelier for an affordable price. It is now a focal piece for the room. We always felt important to both Ed and Angelica. Even a month after move in Ed answers the phone as if he is still on the job.”

Custom build bathroom double vanity with drawers and upper cabinet in the middle

“Angelica and Ed were a pleasure to work with. They made the design and remodel process smooth and efficient with excellent communication. Angelica’s design suggestions and Ed’s attention to detail are phenomenal. We would recommend their services to any and all of our family and friends.”

New custom kitchen with double wall ovens, cream cabinets, and granite countertops with an open cookbook propped open

“I would absolutely recommend anyone to build with EKA. They built a new home from the ground up for my clients when they were having difficulty finding one that fit their needs. Their quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail is fantastic! In the future, they will be my first choice to refer any clients looking for a custom build. They were extremely satisfied with their home and couldn’t have been happier with the referral! EKA built a high quality home without cutting any corners - I recommend them highly and without reservation!”

Freestanding soaker tub with windows looking into green yard

“This was our 4th home build and by far our best home building experience. Three words sum up the builder, honest, respectful and professional. They were diligent in their attention to detail and overall quality workmanship. They kept us updated on the entire project and were patient with us as we reviewed and updated elements of the design. The project was on time, and we are very happy with our lovely home and enjoy sharing it with family and friends.” 

– Alex K

Custom bathroom with walk in shower with tile surround, and simple vanity

“My wife and I were so pleased with the workmanship and attention to detail from EKA that we hired Ed to finish our basement. Our friends have all complimented the quality craftsmanship of our home, especially the beautiful, coffered ceilings. Ed has been a true professional and has provided us with nothing but excellent service. He personally took us to a granite supplier, so we could choose our wet bar countertop. Months after we moved in, Ed was able to find the exact stone to match our exterior and built us a custom mailbox. We even saw him at another worksite in the neighborhood, and he was always there before workers arrived and well after everyone had gone home. We wouldn’t hesitate to give EKA Build our highest recommendation.”  

– Dave S

White colonial custom home with multiple sections and wood paneling

“Our project was a custom new-build home on our own location. EKA Build carefully worked through land surveys and engineering studies to thoughtfully design a home that perfectly fit with the landscape. We had extremely specific ideas, but Ed and Angelica brought new insights and made a truly enormous effort on the execution of those details to go beyond our expectations. Quality and details don’t come fast, but EKA Build set correct expectations and delivered the project on time and on budget. Both Ed and Angelica were accessible throughout the entire planning and building process, keeping detailed records available through a secure online portal. Building a custom home requires a great deal of trust in a builder. We can whole-heartedly say that EKA Build met that requirement and is a builder with the highest integrity.”

Modern new build home with stone face exterior, gray stucco walls, and cottage windows

“This was our 3rd time building a home and the 3rd time was a charm! EKA Build delivered on a "white glove" customer experience, and we were so pleased with every aspect of the service. Ed and Angelica’s attention to detail and quality with respect to the construction was amazing. We are coming up on one year of being in our new home and remain extremely pleased with the level of service the builder has given post sale. If anyone is looking for a custom home builder that never cuts corners and focuses on building your dream home with the highest quality, EKA Build is the perfect choice.”

Gas fireplace against white wall with recessed floating shelves on both sides

“We just finished construction on our first home, and we could not be more pleased with every aspect of the experience. Ed and Angelica went out of their way to make us feel not only informed but heard as well.  After years spent researching custom building, it was only after meeting Ed that we felt that our dream home was possible. We never felt pressured or rushed, and we were always kept up to date on what was happening. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail is apparent in every room, and the completed house is better than we could have imagined. We are excited to raise our family here for many years to come!”

Keyhole view of new build kitchen with island, white cabinets, and subway tile backsplash

“We absolutely love our custom cabinets, trim work, coffered and tray ceilings, and wainscoting. Our kitchen is stunning with custom cabinets, LED Cabinet lighting, and granite countertop. While working with Ed, it was evident he wanted to make sure that our home had certain standards that EKA Build believed in. They added in many things at their own cost, such as extra insulation, in places that other builders would not seem to care about. The reason we chose EKA Build was because they seemed like good and honest people, and we were right.”  

– Debra K

White colonial custom home with multiple sections and wood paneling

“We had our 10,00 square foot basement finished by EKA Build with a large living room, kitchenette, sewing corner, bathroom and bedroom. We are so pleased with the final product! It is done with precision and perfection. Ed was very easy to work with, and he accommodated all of our special requests. The whole experience was a pleasure. His attention to detail is evident through his commitment to using only the best subcontractors in their areas of expertise and the highest quality products.”
