It was important to us to be involved in all aspects of the custom build of our new lake home. Terry encouraged this too. He wants it to be a collaborative effort for sure. Terry not only enabled us to have home we wanted, but he also made us feel as if we were part of the team. Terry was super easy to work with. He’s very detail oriented, and highly diligent regarding quality and the constraints of the building industry standards and code. He is also a dedicated and highly efficient project manager. He makes things happen, keeping the project on-time and all the while taking full responsibility as though it was his own home. All calls were promptly answered, and he quickly addressed any of our questions or concerns. The level of communication was friendly, consistent and top-notch. We always felt comfortable asking questions along the way. While there always surprises in the building of a custom home, Terry was on top of every issue — he puts his recommendations on the table with any possible cost overruns, enabling us to always be aware of the implications of our decisions. His crew of contractors are outstanding, highly reliable and easy to work with. His team made the building process positive and exciting. We worked closely with Terry for over a year and half building our dream home together and we would recommend Terry Bessette to anyone searching for a high quality, respected home builder in the area. If we ever build another home - I would wait for Terry to be available to build it for us!

Deciding to update the look and feel of our home’s interior was an overwhelming idea. Out with the old in with the new. Meeting our timeline and making sure every decision along the way supported our new concept was my number one concern. For this reason I contracted Singular Design to help me with making my final decisions involving furniture choices, styles, color coordinating and furniture placement. We meet weekly and as needed via email to review paint choices, review furniture photos, discuss design options and confirm my next steps. With the help of Singular Design all the stress of making the right decision was eliminated. They gave me the confidence to make the right choices, provided options to consider for challenging areas such as using glass blocks to create a bar area. As we rushed to meet our timeline Singular Design also helped me with all the final touches such as hanging our existing art and place accents in the rooms. With the help of Singular Design all my objectives where met – I completed the project on time and personally enjoyed every step along the way…
