Welcome to the Golden River Homes Family

We have built our business on enduring relationships with our clients that last long after the home is completed, as well as strong relationships with our subcontractors and suppliers. This assures a smooth construction process so that each home is delivered to our client’s satisfaction. With over 30 years in the building business, we stand behind our work and are available to assist with any future needs. Our clients become life long friends of the Golden River Homes family and we are proud to be their builder of choice.

Custom Design Process
We involve our clients in every phase of construction, beginning with plan designs, architectural elements and selection of all material that will go into the home. We have designers available to you for every phase of the project that will collaborate with us to make your dreams reality. Our team is there to ensure that your home is not only beautiful, but also meets your family’s functional needs. Our primary objectives are to assure that you absolutely love your new home and that the building process was a positive and enjoyable experience.

Testimonials

"Our house is amazing! Everyone who walks in is in awe of the woodwork and trim. The quality is over the top. We gave Golden River some general ideas of what we wanted and they in turn made each room an architectural statement!"

"We bought our house early in the construction phase and were able to make all the key selections, like tile, cabinetry, appliances, colors, everything. They worked with us every step of the way to totally customize the house to our taste and lifestyle. Our house is totally unique and totally ours!"

“We needed a mantel for the living room and gave Golden River a photo from a magazine of one that we liked. They took the concept and created something beyond our expectations; a thoroughly exquisite focal point to the room that we admire and enjoy every day.”

"Golden River Homes’ old world craftsmanship has transformed our plain colonial into a beautiful custom built home. Not only do they offer the highest skilled building services, but design services as well. Everyone loves our coffered living room ceiling, built-in cabinets, and our gorgeous master bathroom. Just as important, Nick Gentile has true integrity and his team the strongest work ethic. He truly cares that you are happy with the finished product. I would recommend Golden River Homes to anyone who wants to either build a beautiful custom home from the ground up or whose house needs a face lift. "
