Lightyear Construction

Back in July 2016, My wife and I found a subdivision where we wanted to build. There were two builders in that area and after walking through both models, we chose Lightyear. We had never met anyone from this company before and I'm going to give an honest review of our first home from scratch. We Met Deven first, who, throughout this process, really went the extra mile. He answered calls EVERY TIME we called and would always be available. He also gave us some great suggestions during the planning phase that I now realize were invaluable. Deven sold our existing home in 1 day and met us at the new house during construction every time I asked. Next we Met the owner, Matt Milar. Matt took the time to listen to what hobbies we had, what we were looking for and why we chose to build where we did. Matt is a genius when it comes to designing homes and now that we have moved in, all the things he told us are starting to make sense and we are really glad he was able to put together a house that fits us perfectly. It was also nice being able to ask about upgrades or random "wants" and Matt being able to price them immediately. He has put the time into building houses and it really shows . We then met CC (Chacyne). CC helped my wife choose the colors of our house inside and out. She helped pick everything from the fixtures to the flooring and we love the look of our home. She is great at her job and with her input, we couldn't be happier. Next we Met Terry who is the general contractor. Terry also answered every phone call. Every time I asked for something, he took care of it. I really liked working with Terry, Curtis, and John. All of those guys were making sure we got everything we ordered, or changed. Now that we have moved in, those guys still continue shine. We had phone jacks instead of data jacks. One phone call and they were fixed. RV outlet was a different plug, they answered on Sunday and fixed it. Every time they leave saying, anything else you need, just call me. Don't hesitate to build with them. Our home is amazing, and we could not be happier.

We just recently went through the process of building with Lightyear and it was a very good experience from the first meeting to the last. We lived in Stansbury Park before moving into the Lake Point community and Matt was very happy and willing to drive from Saratoga out to the Lake Point model to meet with us and go over pricing and some models he had. It is very infrequent that an owner of a company is so accommodating to people that may not buy one of his homes but his dedication and knowledge base sold us very quickly. From there on we told him what we wanted and he designed a full custom plan for us from scratch most of it right in front of us. He made adjustments as we went through the process making keen suggestions on things we may want a different way and gave ideas when we were stuck on things. In all of this he never tried to up sale us on anything or pressured us to do anything we didn’t feel comfortable with. From the time we started the process Deven was also very helpful with answering our questions before and after our designs were final and the build started. He worked very well with me personally answering my calls and questions sometimes well beyond the normal operating hours. Deven also worked very well with my representation and got any requested info to her very timely and wasn’t afraid to roll his sleeves up and come up with solutions when needed. All parties made it a very team driven process. Terry was very good our whole build about fixing anything that we had reservations about or anything we saw that was not perfect to our plans. He was very quick to respond to our calls and answer any questions that we had. Terry has been very responsive to our touch-ups and things that needed to be looked at after we moved in. Matt, Deven and Terry have been great people to work with and they are not afraid to tackle any issues that come up big or small. The whole team has been great to work with and very willing to go above and beyond. I would and have recommended them to several people.

We had come to the area last year to find a home. We thought we would buy an existing home but decided to also check out some builders and models homes. The few experiences we had prior to finding Lightyear were terrible. Customer service was non existent. When we stepped into the model home at Lightyear, we were greeted by the owner and main designer himself, Matt Milar. Even though he must have been very busy, he took the time to make us feel like we were his focus. By the end of the day, we were designing my new theater that would be in our basement. We also rotated the originally designed garage 90 degrees so it would fit better on the lot we chose. All of this in minutes and at Matt's desk. We had never built a home before and had a million questions, which Matt, Chacyne Carter and team helped us work through, one at a time. We now are very happy with our new home, with its customizations and aesthetics. Were there issues? Sure, everyone has them. There are many things to juggle when building a home. But the professionalism and care shown in how they took care of those issues was what really will keep us fans for life. We are very grateful for the day we walked into Lightyear Homes. It has changed our lives.

My husband and I had recently retired from our jobs in the state of Washington and were moving back to Utah after being gone for 40 years. Our daughter and son-in-law have a home in Utah and we wanted to be closer to them. We looked at several builders and locations and we decided on Lightyear Const with Matt Millar. We had preferences on the style and floor plan and Matt was able to work his expertise to design a plan that fit our requests and desires. He listened to our ideas of what we wanted our dream home to be like. Matt made some suggestions that turned out to be great. He was very good to work with and we felt he was always willing to try to meet our needs. We settled on the plans and started to work with CC to pick out colors, designs and features we wanted to incorporate inside and out. She was always so willing to help and listen to us. She was patient and understanding when we changed our minds on some of the color and styles that we had originally picked. She was fun to work with. Like any major construction project, there were some glitches and misunderstandings during the construction but we were able to come to an understanding about meeting our concerns. John and Kelly were pleasant to work with and were able to fix most of the minor concerns within a reasonable timeline. Our home turned out to be everything we wanted. It is a beautiful home that we hope to enjoy for many years to come.

Lightyear Construction is a great company to work with. In a current booming Utah homebuilding market I feel like we received competitive pricing and a wonderful quality home. Matt spent the time with us over several weeks to design a custom house that our family loves and most importantly met our budget! Throughout the build process Matt never once came back to us to ask for additional cost increases or "change orders" which many builders commonly do. He stuck to his upfront pricing throughout the build process which was extremely helpful. Any change orders that were done were requested by us as we changed our mind on items throughout the build. Matt and Paige were helpful and easy to work with throughout the whole process. We were newbies with this being our first house build. Lightyear was good to deal with as we brought up issues we saw during the build and making sure these issues would get resolved. The house was completed start to finish in 6 months. We love and our happy with our new house and recommend Lightyear if you are looking for a homebuilder.
