"......we chose Owner Built so that we could save money and be more involved with the overall project of building our home.  This was a big challenge for us since we didn't have any knowledge in the process of building a home.  Working with Shelley has been wonderful.  Her experience and knowledge in all trades gave me the assurance and encouragement I needed to go forward in being my own builder.  Shelley has given me valuable advice and great referrals with that Step-By-Step Guide that has enabled me to be successful in my project.  It has been a positive experience and will continue to recommend Shelley Baker and the Owner Built Program to everyone!"

".....I built my home with the great help of Shelley Baker and Owner Built.  Our project started in August 2005 and was completed in September 2006.  My home is 5,250 livable square feet and although I had some remodeling experience I was surprised how  much I had not known about building a home.  Shelley was always helpful and made me feel that my home was her home.  All I can say to someone who has no knowledge of construction or can't even hammer a nail, you can build your own home, save lots of money and feel completely at ease.  I will be using Shelley Baker and the Owner Built program on my next home and strongly recommend it for anyone.  Shelley is the best you can get....."

"I began my project in March 2004 with the architects but momentum picked up once I began the Owner Built Program with Shelley Baker and I moved into my masterpiece in August 2007.  My knowledge of home construction was minimal and I found Shelley's to be extremely knowledgeable.  She has an instinct for the little things that make a difference between a nice home and a fantastic home.  She noticed minute details that I would have not noticed until it was too late.  She had an excellent follow through and was very persistent when she needed to be.  I completely trust Shelley Baker and will have her build me another home in the future....."

We love our new home and the extra touches you added. Collette and I want to thank you for the extraordinary positive experience we’ve had building our new home. From the very beginning when we first met until the final work was completed you have been professional and honest. We appreciate your suggestions and then your willingness to do whatever we finally decided. You have a special ability to work with people and be sensitive to their desires. Collette was nervous to build a new home but after meeting with you a few times she never worried again. She enjoyed the experience of watching our beautiful home progress. We will recommend you to any of our friends who are contemplating building a new home. When we are ready for our next home we will contact you.
