What homeowners say about working with us
Choosing a home builder is a big decision, so we let our homeowners do the talking. From first-time builds to repeat clients, the feedback we value most is about the experience: clear communication, realistic expectations, and a finished home that feels thoughtfully built. We're proud to serve families across Tennessee's Upper Cumberland, Cookeville, Sparta, Crossville, Livingston, McMinnville, and nearby communities, and we work hard to earn trust at every stage of the project.
We couldn’t be more pleased with Crosland construction and the work they did on our home addition. We added on almost 1000 square feet to our existing home. Complete with a new master suite, flex room and laundry room. We also added two new entrances and a patio. The transition between our existing home and the new addition is seamless. Cole was easy to work with and set a clear timeline from start to finish. We also stayed right on budget even when making a few adjustments. My family and I are so thankful for this additional living space and look forward to enjoying it for many years to come. If you are in need of a home addition or new build don’t hesitate to reach out to Cole and his team!!!
