A homeowner writing in June 2019 praised the energy efficiency of a home built by Sunwood and the owner's attention to their vision. Sunwood Builders is based in Amherst; the company says it builds new homes with buyers' choice of finishes and custom homes on clients' land, using their architect's plans or its own designs. Its stated service area includes Amherst, Hadley, South Hadley, Granby and Northampton. The company offers free estimates and says it works with Western Massachusetts craftsmen and subcontractors. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. WAMC and the Daily Hampshire Gazette have also reported on Sunwood's housing development plans in Northampton. On Google, Sunwood has a 5-star average from three ratings. The written reviews date from 2016 to 2019. An April 2019 reviewer praised the owner's separation and recycling of construction waste, while an October 2016 reviewer praised its homes, energy efficiency and design ideas.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from SUNWOOD BUILDERS. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
