TESTIMONIALS

PEOPLE

We have built several homes and have always looked for a builder/architect team with long-standing relationships. We came to Calvis Wyant by chance. Downsizing, we found our Park Place home. It was to be the last production home of four with the same floor plan. Our Realtor assured us Calvis Wyant was a highly respected builder and the team was very professional and open to a few ideas we had to customize it. Over the next ten months we came to realize that this talented group of professionals know how to build custom homes that truly meet their clients’ needs. Although the four homes share a common floor plan, each home became special for each client. Our home is beautiful, the experience was great and we consider the team friends. We now understand why Calvis Wyant has often built several homes for their clients. We miss the people and the process now that it is over!

As you know, we moved into our new house and are loving it. You all did a marvelous job for us and we want to thank you for your hard work and for putting up with us throughout the building process. The beautiful home you built for us went beyond our expectations. We love your organization and are happier every day we are working with you.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Please extend Jeannie’s and my sincere appreciation to your staff for an outstanding job in building our new home. We especially thank Mike Patterson, who went way beyond our highest expectations for a field superintendent, and Scott Edwards for all his efforts. I guess I should thank you Tony, but I can‘t figure out what you did except surround yourself with such an efficient team and you truly care that the customer is satisfied!

Tony, after leaving your Christmas party, Denise and I talked about how nice and professional everyone is. You’re like a large family that enjoys being around each other, and that makes for a great company. I’ve always said that business is 50% personality and 50% business, and you guys have that great combination. Thanks and best of luck and health to all of you in the New Year.

I have known and employed dozens of construction supervisors over the years. Ed DiBona is the best construction supervisor I have ever known. He is steady, honest, clear headed and knowledgeable. He was able to keep hundreds of details in his head about each house for which he was responsible. We made many changes to our home while under construction, and Ed’s response was always, “I can do that.” Ed is a star performer and I hope you realize how lucky you are to have him.
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

Jane and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful for the great home we enjoy every day. The people of Calvis Wyant Luxury Homes made the entire project truly a labor of love for us as homeowners. Words that come to mind that describe the staff are creative, committed, communicative, caring, conscientious, capable, detail-driven, perfectionist, and most importantly – honest, ethical, friendly, and fun. Thank you!
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Scott Edwards headed up the construction of our home which was very complicated, especially given all of the selection options which required attention to small details. Scott did a great job. The construction documents were well written and every detail was captured and spelled out. The general superintendent, Mike Patterson, was really over the top. He spent extra time studying the plans before construction and made sure the building process was seamless. Mike has a real eye for detail.

INTEGRITY

Thank you for the recent repair to our home that you built ten years ago. I only called you to get a recommendation for someone to make the repairs; in no way did I expect your firm to feel any responsibility to do the job. I can assure you that when I have another home built, Calvis Wyant will be the one that does it!
– CAVE CREEK, AZ

The purpose of this letter is to let you know how satisfied we are with the home built by your company. Prior to contact we checked out your credentials. The results were startling… not a single complaint and a lot of good words. You build a good home!
– PHOENIX, AZ

I appreciated that you told us not to worry if we might find a problem after the two-year warranty period. You recognized that we were only here for a part of each year and might not identify some problems as easily as we would if we lived here full time. This is our first experience with a homebuilder in Arizona, and it has been a great experience. You can always count on us to recommend Calvis Wyant because of the quality of your work, the professionalism of your staff, and most importantly to us, your personal integrity.
– PHOENIX, AZ

Tony told us in the beginning that they wanted to make it an enjoyable process for us. We have heard many stories from people who built custom homes with other builders about how painful and difficult the home building process was for them. In our case it was an enjoyable process. It is a lot of work making selections from hundreds of options, but the final result was really rewarding. Calvis Wyant operates with a high level of integrity. Tony did deliver on his promise by making the process enjoyable for us and delivering a beautiful, well-built home. I highly recommend them.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

EXPERIENCE

Again, thank you for the great job you did for us in building our home. As you know, I worked as a journeyman carpenter and cabinet maker for many years, and I am not generally impressed by much of the work I see today. You did a very good job for us, Tony, and we are grateful that we found you and chose you as our builder.
– PHOENIX, AZ

We have done the framing for Calvis Wyant since their first house. Tony and Gary demand superior work. Tony was a framer on my crew more than twenty years ago. He took his work seriously and did an outstanding job. I would not have made him pack so much lumber if I had known I would be framing his houses today! Having Tony work for me years ago was great, and now being associated with Calvis Wyant is a pleasure.
– PHOENIX, AZ

We have worked with Tony Calvis for more than fourteen years providing him with air conditioning design and installation. He has always shown a serious concern for the quality of construction he receives in his homes from all his subcontractors. We consider Calvis Wyant to be one of our premier custom builders.
– PHOENIX, AZ

TRUST

Since 1981, we have lived in a home in Scottsdale that was designed and built by Calvis Wyant. Subsequently, we’ve had them build a guesthouse, gazebo and garages on to the property. As our children have grown and are starting college, we have had a second home designed and are now in the construction phase. Though I am in the homebuilding business and have many good choices, our experience with Calvis Wyant has led us back to their firm. We now have a record of significant service levels up to ten years following the construction of our first Calvis Wyant home. There is a level of concern for the customer’s home that is far beyond any I have seen in the homebuilding business.
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

Although we lived in California while construction was progressing, we never doubted that our new home would meet your standards for excellence. We are very proud of our Calvis Wyant home!
– CAREFREE, AZ

Thank you for building our wonderful home. Everyone involved was the epitome of friendliness, courtesy and helpfulness. If we ever move, we would have you build another house for us, and we recommend you highly to anyone who asks about our gorgeous home.
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

I am in the construction business and although I could have built my home, I decided my time and expertise would be better spent focusing on my business. I have extensive knowledge of many of the builders out there and I chose Calvis Wyant, who in my opinion is one of the very best. Going through the process of building the house certainly proved I was right about choosing them. Our home has won some awards, and many of the trades feature it in their brochures. I couldn’t be more pleased with the result; we love our home.
– PEORIA, AZ

DESIGN

A typical custom builder testimonial goes along the line of saying how professional, talented, honest, and customer-centered the builder is… Calvis Wyant is all that and more. However, I feel the proof lies more in the outcome of the project. When I hear my wife say, “I don’t want to go away on vacation, I like our home better than any resort we have been to.” I need no further confirmation of the success of our build with Calvis Wyant.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

We thoroughly enjoyed working with the staff of your in-house design studio to select our home’s interior details and finishes. Your step-by-step process was very well organized, and your designers were extremely helpful. Together we created a beautiful and coordinated custom look from the large selection of materials, colors and textures. What a fun and rewarding experience!
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

A few years ago, we purchased a custom home lot and began talking to builders and architects. The architectural/design side of Calvis Wyant made the difference. Gary Wyant and his staff of designers and architects made the design process convenient and pleasurable. Their motto is, “We Design, We Build, But First We Listen,” and that they do! The architecture and construction in-house make the entire process almost hassle-free for the homeowner.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Thank you and your staff for doing such an excellent job in the construction of our house. You will be happy to hear that most everyone who sees our house has nothing but compliments on the design and overall floor plan. Even though we came to you with a basic floor plan to start, Gary was very creative in adapting the floor plan to flow with the lot and making the overall appearance of the house more dramatic. What a great experience!
– CAREFREE, AZ

Gary Wyant is a class act. He is very patient and gave us the result we were looking for. It’s often hard to describe a certain feeling you are trying to achieve, and Gary did a great job interpreting our feelings. He gave a lot of extra effort to capture views by studying the views and coordinating the layout of the house. Gary’s final working drawings are some of the most accurate and comprehensive I have ever seen.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

QUALITY

I have purchased several homes in the past, many of them custom homes, and I have never had such outstanding workmanship, attitude and service all rolled into one home – and one home builder. My home is beautiful, the construction is top of the line, my financial investment has grown significantly, and in twelve years, I have had only one minor issue that your team resolved completely. Thank you for designing and building the home of my dreams. You are the best!
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

The word “quality” has real meaning at Calvis Wyant. Not only have I found it in the obvious places, like my home’s exterior, but quality is also evident in places far less visible – like top-of-the-line air conditioners, solid plumbing, and overall workmanship. Calvis Wyant is a superior homebuilder, and any new homeowner will benefit from your exceptional attention to detail.
– PHOENIX, AZ

Thank you for the tour. We especially enjoyed meeting you and your staff. You have a first-class operation that is comparable to the best in the country. Having judged the Builder Magazine’s “America’s Best Builder” awards this past year, I think I have a pretty good perspective to make that statement.
– CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA

I just had to write and tell you how pleased I am with everything. The house is the most economical home we have ever owned in Phoenix. Previously we owned two homes in the Arizona Biltmore and Squaw Peak areas. The previous homes did not compare to this house in any way. Utility bills are very reasonable. Outside noise does not come in. Our floor plan is the best. You build a fine quality home!
– PHOENIX, AZ

About seven years ago we bought a lot in Paradise Valley. We waited another three years until we previewed a home you had built that had many of the features we were looking for. We liked your ideas and the quality of construction, so we were happy to have you build our new home. Now, two years later, we both feel so comfortable at home that we can hardly remember living anywhere else. We both feel very fortunate that we found Calvis Wyant.
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

Integrity…Quality…Trust
Those words are what come to mind when I proudly tell others about Calvis Wyant Luxury Homes. I interviewed several builders before making the perfect choice to have Calvis Wyant design and build my home. The Calvis Wyant team set a very high bar for quality and surpassed it at every step! Their ability to help me visualize my dream home and their commitment to fulfilling my dream exceeded all my expectations.

SERVICE

From the moment we stepped into the Calvis Wyant offices, we were instantly struck by the professionalism, dedication and warmth of Tony Calvis and his team. The craftsmanship that makes up their beautiful homes is just the beginning of a long litany of things that make buying a Calvis Wyant home a truly wonderful experience. The Calvis Wyant team were and still are readily available to answer any questions and made our move as streamlined and as easy as possible. Whether it be orientations or an organized list of where everything was in our house, we felt extremely prepared and comfortable prior to moving into our beautiful home. The unparalleled detail which Calvis Wyant reached to ensure that we were taken care of is truly appreciated. Perfectionists are what we would call the Calvis Wyant team. From start to finish, there was no issue too big or too small for Tony Calvis and his team to handle.
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

Certainly your company went above and beyond what, in our experience, most builders would have done to ensure that we have a trouble-free dwelling. You should be especially proud of the efforts put forth by your construction foreman and customer relations staff. We are specifically thankful that you did not rest until we were satisfied with the work done and that you honored the warranty, even beyond the warranty period. We are happy to offer our unqualified recommendation for Calvis Wyant anytime!
– CAREFREE, AZ

It has now been over three years since I moved into the beautiful home that you designed and built for my family, and I couldn’t be happier. The design, the construction, the quality and the continuing service have been and continue to be outstanding. In a world where service and pride of ownership in business seems to be a rarity, it is so refreshing to deal with your staff and subcontractors who genuinely seem to enjoy making customers happy.
– PHOENIX, AZ

In addition to everything else, I want to thank you sincerely for your magnificent after-the-purchase service. Your staff handled every minor adjustment rapidly and efficiently to make sure we were satisfied. I can tell you unequivocally that Katy and I are delighted we did business with Calvis Wyant.
– CAREFREE, AZ

The service doesn’t stop when the keys are turned over. I have lived in my home for almost three years, and if I have a question or have any issues with my home, Calvis Wyant continues to offer the same level of quality customer service.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

I could go on all day about what a pleasure it has been to work with Tony and his team. Their customer service is unparalleled, and they have the absolute BEST people working with them; their superintendents and project managers have tremendous experience and are some of the nicest people you will ever deal with.
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

Tony, You are a rock star for continuing to assist us 8 years after you sold us the home. The best 8 years of my life!
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

STYLE & FUNCTION

What was it like to have Calvis Wyant design and build our home? At the end of the day, we not only have our thoughtful, beautiful home which reflects us and our lifestyle, but we also have new friends in the bargain. Not sure which I appreciate more…
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

I assure you that it is a little scary building a home when we are 1,500 miles away. Everyone on the project was very accommodating and seemed to do everything they could to put our minds at ease. Everyone that has seen it so far loves the design – both exterior and interior. The exterior blend of tile and flat roof gives it a special character. The way the interior flows throughout makes it very special. Tony, you guys have a great crew, and we are looking forward to many wonderful years in our new home.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

We are so happy with our Calvis Wyant home that IF we ever decided to build again, we would only consider Tony Calvis as our builder. Thank you for building a home free from worries that has sophisticated, livable beauty.
– PHOENIX, AZ

I see Gary Wyant’s gift everywhere. It is amazing to me that he could imagine in his mind how my home should look, and then he created it. There are special details that I did not know about or think about that I love. Spaces like the hallway off the dining room – which is one of my favorite parts of the house. Who knew a hallway could be beautiful? Or the window in the pantry, which is another special detail. Thank you so much.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

HONESTY

Tony, we love our new home and can see the pride and quality which has been put into your work. Our next house is sure to be a Calvis Wyant home also, as you are a real gentleman and a pleasure to work with. Many thanks!
– PHOENIX, AZ

During our working relationship we have found that honesty, quality of workmanship, attention to detail and promptness in paying invoices are all strong attributes illustrated by Calvis Wyant. It is also our experience that many subcontractors in the North Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak area construction industry share a similar admiration of Calvis Wyant’s goal to “do the right thing.”
– PHOENIX, AZ

Calvis Wyant offers cooperative and friendly personnel and a knowledgeable design and office staff. We have a beautiful house on a beautiful lot. Tony Calvis has honor and keeps his word. We would gladly use Calvis Wyant again.
– PHOENIX, AZ

RELIABILITY

I purchased my home while living in Iowa with considerable concerns about the support and service that would be provided. Your team has been consistently responsive both during the relocation and after our move-in. Thanks again for the good work during this past year. My Calvis Wyant home is a source of great satisfaction and comfort.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Having heard all the horror stories from many friends who have built homes, we really appreciated dealing with a builder who made those stories from other people just that… stories from OTHER people! Thanks for making this a good experience.
– SCOTTSDALE, AZ

I felt compelled to write you and your staff this letter just to say, “great job!” This is the fifth house we have built and it was by far the most enjoyable experience. It is a credit to you and your staff that we felt like any issue would be solved promptly and properly, and it was! You have separated yourself from the rest of the “pack” when it comes to custom home building. We are as proud as you are of this home.
– PHOENIX, AZ

I love my builder! Tony Calvis and his team have been beyond unbelievable! Any change I wanted to make or the slightest little thing I mentioned was immediately handled with ease. He works with the best subs — true craftsmen who are as anxious to please the customer as Calvis Wyant is. In fact, despite a glitch with a tile company that I chose (against the advice of my project manager and superintendent), they finished ahead of schedule and under our original budget.
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

Tony, I give you all a glowing reference! Love your process…on time, on budget, quality work!
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

COMMUNICATION

As we were living in New York while our home was being constructed, we spoke to your staff by phone for updates. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in assisting us with the choices and decisions that we needed to make “long distance.” Everything was so easy, and it was a pleasurable and joyful experience.
– PARADISE VALLEY, AZ

Working with Calvis Wyant’s clients over the past several years, I have always had wonderful responses from them. Tony Calvis and his staff listen, and hear, what their customers want in their homes. It is one of the company’s main goals to give their clients exactly what they want and exceed their expectations. I can honestly say that I have never heard a client make a negative comment about their Calvis Wyant home.
– PHOENIX, AZ

Tony Calvis is indeed a pleasure to work with. We do not understand many aspects of construction in the subcontractor’s world, and he was very patient with us. Tony Calvis and Gary Wyant worked with us in the selection of lot location, subsequent architectural design and cost planning. Their thoughts and recommendations were very helpful. We are pleased to recommend Tony Calvis to any potential home builder.
