"I really can't say enough what a pleasure it has been working with Brad and Black Oak (and yourself!). Everything from quality to customer service has been top-notch. We truly felt like Brad cared about us and what we wanted from the start. Your company will have every referral we have the opportunity to throw your way."

Brad was there to assist every step of the way throughout the entire process and provided excellent support with anything that we needed. He listened and genuinely cared about building us the home that we wanted and went the extra mile to help us accomplish just that.
  
The workmanship of our Black Oak home was top-notch from the very beginning steps to the completed home, and everything else along the way.

After deciding to build our dream home, we met with several builders and selected Black Oak Building company to carry out our vision. Because this was our first time building a home, we were quite anxious about the process. However, Brad Helm helped guide us through every phase of the project: from purchasing the land, designing our home, to the actual execution and completion of our dream. 

Because of Brad's professionalism, the entire process was very enjoyable and stress free. What sets Brad apart from other custom home builders is his ability and desire to listen, talk, and understand our needs. While his attention to detail is obvious on the finished product, what impressed us the most was his attention to every detail throughout the construction process. This has ensured us a well constructed home that will last for decades to come. 

 While many builders could have built us a nice looking house, Brad and his crew built us a beautiful home that not only realized our vision, but also exceeded our expectations.
"As our girls aged and our family needs evolved, we decided we wanted a new home to match our new life. We could not find anything existing that we loved and concluded we likely needed to build. Having heard numerous horror stories we were very hesitant to do so. But we hit the jackpot with Brad Helm of Black Oak Building Company and now sing his praises. We love our home and appreciate Brad’s role in making a dream come true. We wanted a home that could feel like a retreat from the big city without being remote rural while having all the amenities we wanted to enhance our family life. This included an amazing open ground floor plan to promote flow and togetherness between kitchen, dining and family rooms as well as access outside to both front and back. Cooking and entertaining are themes for us so having a home that not just allows for that but truly celebrates it is wonderful. The indoor and outdoor kitchens are incredible centerpieces whether it’s just us for simple family nights or a crowd of friends and family. The master bedroom downstairs feels like a luxury oasis and the upstairs checks all the boxes including a study nook for the kids, a large finished bonus room for having fun and a guest room with full bath. And all of this is enjoyed on a great wooded lot that feels like an urban escape but accessible to all our urban needs. The builder is absolutely key to a happy home build, not just for the house itself but for the process as well, and Brad is the best. He was with us every step of the way from lot selection, architectural rendering, interior design, exterior choices, landscaping, you name it. No detail was too small for him to help us through and we always felt like he was on our side to help rather than look out for his own self-interests. His team, including subcontractors and vendors, were also good to work with and Brad would help as much or as little as needed. In summary, we love our home, we thank Brad for his role and we highly recommend him to anyone who wants a happy home build."

Our "Dream House" plans were 20 years in the making when we met Brad Helm of Black Oak Building Company and he made it a reality for us. Brad guided us every step of the way from design to the finishing touches as we completed our beautiful home on 3.5 acres. Brad surrounds himself with stellar subcontractors and we couldn't be more happy with the finished results. Brad's honesty and integrity throughout the entire process was reassuring to us. His experience and concern for our needs was excellent. We have recommended him to our friends and as we knew, Brad did not disappoint. We love our new home and extend our deepest thank you to Brad and his team. We wish them nothing but future success.
"We had a most pleasant experience working with Brad Helm from Black Oak to build our "forever home"! After we retired we decided to downsize to a ranch. After looking for an existing home without success we began interviewing builders to get estimates for a new build. We met with four different builders in the Bedford and Toledo area and after meeting Brad and getting his bid we readily chose Black Oak! We couldn't be happier with our beautiful new home! Brad was ALWAYS available EVERY time that we called with questions or concerns. Since we lived only 5 minutes away from our new building site we were at our site everyday. Brad was there every day also! Every question or concern was handled promptly and completely. His subcontractors were very efficient and excellent. We got to know them as well and were very happy with all of there workmanship. We have recommended Brad and Black Oak to numerous people and we continue to be very satisfied with and happy in our beautiful new home!"

Brad and his entire team were amazing to work with from start to finish. We are so happy that we chose Black Oak to build our forever home. We couldn’t be happier!
Brad and Black Oak was great to deal with. He made building our dream home so easy. He works with the highest quality contractors. We were done on time and within our budget. If this house wasn’t so perfect we would build again with them. 
Thank you Black Oak.
