Testimonials

  • I just wanted to reach out to say how much we love the house and also to let you know how much I appreciate your friendship and your ethical character. As I reflect on this project – both your side of it and jeromeys, I am struck by how much more enjoyable it was working with you. I am so looking forward to the next phase of the casita and drive way and garage etc and so grateful that it will be you leading this. All the best and look forward to catching up again.

  • Terbush

    As quoted from Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine of Southwest Living:

    “There’s a lot of vanilla in this world. I asked Jamie Vaughn of Carmel Homes Design Group to build me a banana split.” So comments accomplished artist Dale Terbush when talking about the elegant, soft-yellow Palladian-style home in Paradise Valley.

    Terbush characterizes the ambience of his home as “comfortable grandeur.” He also calls it a “a serious bargain,“ and says he was able to build the house for much less than most people would imagine.

    *** Note: We built three homes for Bud Towne, who is a fellow builder from Chicago.

    “I am writing this regarding Jamie Vaughn, who was instrumental in the construction of my home. After dismissing the original builder, Mr. Vaughn performed beyond my expectations. Not only was Mr. Vaughn’s job performance superior, but we did all of this on a handshake.  If I were ever going to recommend someone for a construction project, Jamie Vaughn would be the person without hesitating.  He will build what you want – not what he wants.

    *** Note: We built four homes for Dennis

    With Warm Regards,

    Dennis Teufel

  • “I have worked with Carmel Home Design and Jamie Vaughn on a number of occasions. Jamie is a highly respected professional I have seen his results building million dollar homes and on $100,000 renovations. He approaches every job as though he were building for himself. He is a perfectionist. He is frugal in the best way. I would trust him with my own projects. I highly recommend Jamie Vaughn and Carmel Home Design Group.”

    Bruce Wenger

  • “Professional and personable describes Jamie Vaughn and his team at Carmel Homes Design Group. I am the owner of Silverhawk Realty, a Scottsdale based residential real estate brokerage. Jamie and his team have assisted several of my clients over the past 3-4 years. From design ideas to material selections, Jamie has shown me time and time again that his 24 years of experience are invaluable to my clients.

    I highly recommend Jamie to anyone considering building a new home or undertaking a renovation. His work is first class and he will not leave the job until you’re 100% satisfied with everything; a trait not often found with contractors!
