“Crownover Company built our lake house in Mountain Home, AR. It's so beautiful and exactly what I wanted. The staff is professional, courteous and extremely friendly. We built a relationship throughout this build with our project manager as well as the owner, Lyle, himself. Building a custom home takes so much more time and effort. The Crownover team worked with us all the way through the project and made fantastic recommendations. Being accustomed to building a home with only a few options, it is difficult to understand the multitude of options you have to do whatever you want. The trade partners they work with pay so much attention to detail and blew us away with their skills. We are from out of town, and this made things even more complicated. Now that we have finished the build, I can't thank Lyle, Hannah, Greg and team enough for guiding us through this journey.”
