“

After purchasing many new builders homes, the Doug Tarry experience was by far the most enjoyable. With the team’s recommendations, ideas and perfectionism, we ended up with a home that far surpasses any of our expectations. When we woke up after the first night in our new home, we both looked at each other and said, “This feels like home.” We have never had that feeling after the first night in any of our previous homes. After 6 months we still at times say to each other, “Man I love this house.” Great work Doug and crew.
