Barrett Homes

After a thorough search of both new and older properies throughout Chicago, my husband and I purchased our first home from Barrett Homes in the Southport Corridor and could not have been happier with our decision. The entire construction process was seamless and marked by clear communiction and puntuality. Upon move in, the builder's attention to detail was apparent with every aspect of the unit exceeding our expectations and allowing for a stress-free, enjoyable living experience. We feel lucky to have worked with Barrett Homes and look forward to building with them again down the road.

We recently built a home with the Barrett Homes team and the experience was excellent. Having gut renovated and lived through new construction before, the Barrett Homes team was by far the best experience my family has ever gone through. It does not even compare to others and we consider them one of the highest-end builders in Chicago. Never once was there a shortcut taken. The attention to detail and craftsmanship was amazing. If a team member made a mistake. Mike and John were class acts, never nickeled-and-dimed us and were true to their word (and timeline) throughout the entire process. Paul, the GM, is arguably my favorite person in Chicago and goes above and beyond even after we have closed on the house. Further, our neighbors genuinely like Barrett Homes (Paul in particular) and the Barrett Homes team rebuilt a neighbors fence simply bc the neighbor was an older gentlemen who mentioned that it would be nice to have a new fence. It was a simple act of kindness during the construction. Its rare to find exceptional builders who are great people - we lucked out in finding Barrett Homes.

Wonderful experience with Mike, Kristi, and Paul. They were always responsive and now i've been in the house for almost a year and impressed with all the design features and workmanship. Every new house has a few issues, but Paul and Kristi have been so easy to work with and have addressed any of the small issues that came up. Happy to have been able to work with them!

We had the pleasure of working with Barrett Homes to build our first home in Chicago, and the experience from start to finish was exceptional. The quality of workmanship is evident in every corner of our home, showcasing their meticulous attention to detail. What truly sets Barrett Homes apart, however, are the owners, Mike and John. Their honesty and patience throughout the process made a typically stressful journey feel seamless and enjoyable. Both are incredibly easy to work with, always available to answer questions or address any concerns we had. Their dedication to ensuring our satisfaction was evident in every interaction. We were very happy with our home and highly recommend Barrett Homes to anyone looking to build their dream home. They are not just builders; they are partners in turning your vision into a reality.

I have had the pleasure of representing buyers of Barrett Homes properties and serving as a listing agent for a Single-Family Residence the firm developed in Lincoln Park. There is a reason the firm maintains a stellar reputation among buyers, agents and other business partners. The firm consistently delivers exceptional service and highest-caliber homes and condos that enrich streetscapes and delight their new owners. Whenever I see Barretts name associated with a project, I am confident in a great outcome.
