    “These guys are good at what they do. We reached out one day with a bunch of questions about property and how to go about getting some for them to build on potentially. They met with us at a parade home that we really liked called “The Lucas”. Bob was clear that they could help us in our search but only after putting a deposit of some sort for $10,000 if I remember right. So we went home and decided it was what we wanted to do. Not even a week or two later we met at a 10 acre lot in Kuna Idaho basically exactly where we wanted to be. It wasn’t on the market and they happen to be connected to the owner so We were able to purchase it. 11 months later we’re currently living on that property!! The process was wild and they made it so easy for us, The finish product is nothing short of Amazing and let me tell you I was not an easy customer at times. We really wanted a finished custom home and we added a ton and made plenty of changes all while they kept the cost low and worked with us!! Even after getting the keys and them moving on to the next projects they still made us feel like a priority and worked out all the little issues that have come up!! I’d build with them again or refer them to a friend no problem.”

    “We just finished building our cabin with Bachman Custom Homes. Bob and Lisa Bachman are the best of the best!!! Their work and craftsmanship are impeccable. They helped us to navigate throughout the whole building process, from design of the cabin to picking the tile, lighting, carpet, etc. They made the process so easy because of their experience, expertise, professionalism, and passion for what they do. Not only were they, and their team, awesome to work with throughout the whole process, but they have now become our friends. I would highly recommend them for any building ventures you have. You won’t be disappointed!!”

    “Wow! From the moment we met Bob & Lisa to the present moment (not even a week into our new home), we have been impressed. This experience has been as smooth as it could possibly be. We were building from out of state and I was worried about not being here, but when you trust your builder, it makes it so much easier!! We quickly learned that they had our best interest in mind & that really helped us feel at ease. Whether you’re a first time home builder, like myself, or a third time home builder like my husband, you will see how great Bachman Custom Homes is at streamlining the process, striving to keep you happy, maintaining a good relationship, & providing a high quality product! The majority of their work is done in house, which sets them apart from other builders & is definitely a benefit to their clients, as they seem to have more control over what’s happening. The trades they did outsource were great as well. You can tell they know their community & have searched out & found reputable people to work with. I don’t know many people who reach the end of their build & still love their builders, but we do. They have been a dream to work with. Great communication, expectation setting, honesty, keeping us on budget, being up front, holding to the timeline (or super close to it), providing options & feedback, & just being awesome! The level of integrity they operate with is so refreshing. We just adore them & their crew professionally & personally & we would highly recommend them & would build with them again in a heartbeat! Thank you for our beautiful home. Thank you for helping us take our vision & turn it into reality & more! We love it so much. 😍 We are honored to live in a home built by the Bachman’s!”

    “Not even sure where I begin. This is my 3rd time building a house! You know what they say 3rd time is the charm. I told my wife I never wanted to build again, because of how awful my experiences have been. My wife convinced me and several months later I could not be happier with two things: 1- Our builder Bachman Custom Homes (Bob & Lisa) 2- The finished product (beyond my expectations) Working with Bob and Lisa Bachman was the best experience ever. It is their goal to make sure you’re 💯 satisfied and happy. They are some of the most authentic and genuine people I know. Would I recommend them? The answer is YES! In fact you’re missing out if you don’t use them! Even if you don’t want to build find a home they have for sale, it’ll be the best home you could ever buy! Personally I’m honored to be able to call them our friends. We’re grateful to have met them and to be able to carry on this friendship for years to come!”

    The hangout house. A pool with a cascading waterfall, fire bowls, an outdoor fireplace, a game-ready lounge upstairs and an exercise room. This is the house where everyone ends up. Inside, there’s a 24-foot fireplace in the great room, an alder wine room for the grown-ups, and a Thermador kitchen with a pantry that has its own dishwasher and sink for party prep. This Bachman Custom Homes build is in Valnova, with lakes, beaches, pickleball and miles of trails close by.
