What People Are Saying…

“I have known Bill for over 15 years and have never had a reservation when recommending him as a homebuilder. When I think of how to describe him, two words come to mind; integrity and competence. I can’t think of a better set of attributes for a custom homebuilder – it gives his customers the assurance that he can and will deliver what he has promised.”

– Josh Shockey, Consultant, Bend, Oregon


“In 2014 Bill Gonce built our ranch style home in Bend, Oregon while we were living in Colorado. We had selected Bill based on meeting with him and several recommendations, including one that said ‘Bill is the only contractor I totally trust to to build a home for me’. After our home construction I agree. As you will see in his book, he is professional, knowledgeable, and cared for our home as though it were his own.”

– Gary and Lana Settell


“Having worked closely with Bill for over 16 years, I can attest to his extensive construction experience, and his step by step approach depicted in this volume will be an asset to those who have the opportunity to build their own home.”

– Al Tellin, Bend, Oregon


“Bill brought his traditional values and experience to both our parents and our contemporary projects, ensuring a solid/well-built home that is both beautiful and comfortable. We know we can count on Bill to deliver on time and within our budget while also offering innovative ideas that benefit the project or solve any issues that might arise. His straightforward and open approach eliminates surprises from the initial contractor selection to the final inspections. It doesn’t hurt that Bill has a great sense of humor, making the many meetings and sometimes difficult decisions fun. We couldn’t be more happy with our decision to trust Bill with our largest investment, our home.”

– Dan and Dana Dobry


“As a longtime builder myself it is invaluable to have someone like Bill Gonce to turn to as a resource. Many builders with that many years of experience really have one year of experience that they repeat year after year. Bill is a builder who has continued to get better every year with regard to quality, relationships, and an in depth knowledge of every aspect of the construction process. I truly value his expertise, input and advice.”
