After looking at homes that were for sale …
… I decided that the only way to get what I wanted in a home was to build. I didn’t even go to another home builder. I knew from looking at show homes over the years exactly who I was going to get to build my house.
Yakobovich omes were top quality in my eyes. Once I picked out the lot I wanted it was clear sailing from there on. I watched the process from beginning to end. I saw all their tradesmen in action, they did top quality work, and I was always asked exactly how I wanted things done. I drew up pictures as best as I could and took them other pictures and asked if they would incorporate them into their woodwork and they did wonders to accommodate me. Their entertainment centres look like custom furniture, they are so beautifully made and put together. They had no problem to do little extra’s here and there for me. I don’t think my homemade apple pies had anything to do with it.
Greg Yakobovich along with all his office staff, employees and tradesmen always addressed any concerns I had immediately. I never had to wait for an answer. They were awesome to work with and if I had to do it all over again Yakobovich Homes would be my first choice. I can’t thank them enough for making my dream home all that I wanted it to be. On top of all that I have made some new friends.

When we were looking for a builder…
…for our new home, we relied on word of mouth from friends and on visits to a show home that had been built by Yakobovich Homes. What we heard from friends was that Yakobovich built high quality custom homes and that they were very happy with the end product. The quality of the show home that we visited was exceptional and it reinforced our decision to build with Yakobovich Homes.
We started with some basic ideas of what we wanted in our home, and with the help of Kelly Nadler, the architect, we developed the final plans. It took some time, as this was a new experience for us, but we eventually settled on the final design and Greg and his staff at Yakobovich homes took the plans and built a quality home. We had very specific ideas as to what we wanted in our home and the staff at Yakobovich Homes were able to provide us with a home that exceeded our expectations. The custom finishing and cabinetry add to the beauty of the home. I should make special mention of the assistance that Dwayne Flaman provided us through the build phase. He was there for us to ask questions, to clarify specifications and details, and to tour us through the house at all stages of the build. It was a pleasure to get to know many of the staff on our visits to the construction site. It was clear that they took great pride in the work that they were doing and it certainly shows in the end result.
We have now been in our new home for 4 months and are very happy with our decision to build with Yakobovich Homes. We will recommend Yakobovich to any of our friends that are looking to build a new home.
We would like to thank all the staff at Yakobovich Homes for the opportunity to build with them and for all their efforts devoted to providing us with a home we will enjoy living in for many years to come.
Regards,

When we chose Yakobovich to build our new home, we didn’t know quite what to expect.
We soon learned that no detail would be too small, no concern would be ignored and no call or text would go unreturned.
Our process began with a visit to the architect. When the drawings came back, we were amazed. It was perfect. We felt like everything we said had been heard – our custom home was ready to be built. The process went very smoothly. Each time we visited the house, there was progress.It was so much fun to watch. We quickly noticed that the attention to detail was second to none. The house was built meticulously. Our cabinets were tailored to our exact specifications. From the framing to the dry wall to the finishing work, the workmanship was superior.
The staff at Yakobovich work for the company; the trades are not contracted out. So, we quickly learned who was who and developed a rapport with the staff. Everyone was so accessible. Each person was only a call or text away. We felt like everyone listened to our ideas and if a concern arose, it was dealt with quickly.
Throughout the process we received impeccable customer service. We are just thrilled with the quality and the look of the final product. Thanks to Yakobovich, our family will make memories in the home of our dreams.

We want to take this opportunity to thank you…
…and your entire crew for the outstanding effort you are making in getting our home completed. Considering their very unusual weather we have had this spring the progress you have made has been beyond our expectations.
As well, thank you for allowing us to store our belongings in the house prior to completion as this will help us greatly in the transition from our old house to our new one.
Everyone, including the Main Man (Greg), Sandy and Bill have looked after us very well. Once again we want to say we have enjoyed working together with you in making our dream home a reality.
Best Regards,

It’s been over two years since we built our home with you …
… and we are still receiving compliments from everyone who visits. As soon as you enter our home it is easy to see that a lot of thought and attention to detail went into building it. From the high quality, solid wood finishing to an extremely sound structure. Yakobovich builds an impressive home. Aside from the aesthetic beauty you are able to offer, there were many other aspects about building with you that we appreciated.
It was our first home, and you allowed us to be true partners in the build. From design concepts to final details it really felt like we were able to contribute to the final outcome. One way that you made us feel this way was with your down to earth and approachable attitude. What your see is what you get – and we appreciate that. We even felt comfortable talking to the people who work with you, they were all very professional and easy to talk to. Everyone took the time to explain the process and options to two first time home builders who were trying to make their home special.
And finally Greg, we always felt (and still do) that you were personally accountable for your finished product. When we did the “check out” at the end and we required a few “tweaks” you were there to ensure we were happy. You demonstrated to us that when you make a commitment you keep your word, something that we value very much, and is unfortunately not something that we come across everyday.
So once again Greg, thank you so much for your help, and your ongoing support. I am sure we will be building another Yakobovich home in the future.
Sincerely,
Brenda and Darcy
On behalf of Karen, TJ and I, we would like to thank you …
… for construction of such a fine home. While the possession date was somewhat later than we had thought we do realize that between some very poor weather and the delivery of the home package some delays were unavoidable.
On the other hand the end product is really outstanding. You and your people caught some things during construction that saved us money and changes later. The attention to detail and your selection of outstanding sub-trades all combined to produce a very good home. It was nice to move into a home with virtually everything finished. We know many homes on the same crescent built by some of your competition are still not totally finished some 18 to 24 months after possession.
Greg, we have ended up with a home that is clearly “top end” in terms of construction and finish without having to pay “Cadillac” prices. Throughout the construction we found you good to deal with and appreciate being able to deal with someone who we can depend on and who lives up to verbal commitments. While we did have a written contract it is always a good sign when neither of us had to refer to the contract after it was signed.
We would gladly commend you and Yakobovich Homes Ltd. to anyone who is planning to build a new home. We wish you every success in the future.
Best personal regards,
Frank Proto, Karen and TJ
Just a note to thank you Greg for getting the stucco on the build outs redone—it looks excellent
On behalf of both my wife and myself, we would like to extend our appreciation for an excellent hob on the new home you build for us and we look forward to potentially doing business with you again at some point in the future.

Hi Greg,The comments have been amazing!
The house turned out really great. Honestly, when we have people over for the first time they stand in the doorway with their mouths opened just looking at everything and saying how nice it is. It will be great for you to come see the finished products because I don’t think you got to see the cabinets, back splash, and everything else completely done.
Oh and yes my dad greatly approves.

Hello Greg! This is just a quick note to say that we have now been in our house for a whole year- can you believe that!
We are still very happy with our home and like the area and neighbors as well.
When we think back to this time last year, we were probably driving you and your workers crazy. Thanks for making our dream come true.
Also, we would like to wish you, your family, and all your workers a merry Christmas and may 2008 bring you much health and happiness.

Hey Greg… Just thought I would send you a note to pay compliments to some of guys…
So often it is only the negative that is mentioned when something goes wrong when serving customers… I pay these compliments out of sincerity as well as instilling confidence in yourself that you have some excellent tradesman on your payroll. I first have to start with Mike (Framer)… He was very accommodating and took time to answer any of our questions… I don’t know if the framing crew told you, but we went out and bought them drinks (Not alcohol HAHA!) during one of the hotter days… I think the crew really appreciated it… Never would have done it if it wasn’t for the great attitudes these guys have towards their job. Definite pride taken. Next is your electrician Darren… Marlene and I both hit it off with him right away and as it turned out t her use to work with a very good friend of mine and in fact has also done some major wiring a few years ago at Sears. Small world… Has a great attitude and spend quality time with us to ensure we understood the wiring of the house. Holly was even very impressed with him… I also have to tell you that you have found a real good person in Holly… she has never been to forward and has been willing to bend out way with some of our ideas… I never was initially keen on hiring an interior designer, but Holly has been well worth the investment. Sorry if I rambled on too long, I just felt it was important for you to know that the crews we have run into so far are a reflection of the commitment to quality that you have consistently spoken to us about from the start. I am a big fan of those that talk the talk and talk the walk… You fall into that category and Marlene and I have the utmost respect for people such as yourself… We look forward to the remainder of our journey… Take care.

Our story goes back to 2001 when we decided to build our first home.
We had lived in Weyburn and made many trips to Regina in hopes to find the right builder. We looked at many show homes with different builders until we walked into Yakobovich Homes show home, and realized our search was over. We were very impressed and soon after that we meet with Greg and started making plans to build our home.
In the end, Yakobovich Homes build us a beautiful home and it was a great pleasure to deal with them through it all. Greg and his staff are very professional and take pride in what they do. From start to finish they worked together with us and made sure we were happy with everything. The woodwork that Travis and his crew finished in our home was something else. We couldn’t have asked for better company to take care of us, and they were all great people to deal with and very friendly. We gas so many compliments on our home as the great workmanship showed throughout. Unfortunately we had only lived in our home for four years due to relocating to Alberta.
We had made the right decision on choosing Yakobovich Homes in the past and had a quality built home for our family. We recommend this company to anyone who is planning on building a new home as they are solid and trustworthy company.
We would like to extend our thanks to all of you that completed our home in Weyburn, you did a fantastic job! We miss it very much and look forward to building another Yakobovich Home someday.
Keep up the great work!!

Hi there Greg,
…. I am in brand new homes a great deal and it is quite obvious when it is a Yakobovich home.
Sometimes I don’t know who the builder is if they call themselves into WW or if someone else does BUT having said that – your work is truly wonderful. It is not just a new home, but very original with LOTS of beautiful wood work, whether it be oak or cherry wood, as I remember one from a year or two ago on the end of the Fairway Road. Spectacular!! I’m in different types of house everyday- your workmanship always stands out! By the way- The Shaws and the Bourget’s spoke highly of your and their dealings with you! It was apparently quite a pleasure dealing with the buildings of their new homes.
