"We had no idea what we were doing as we had never built a home before. I saw a model home by Cecil & Ray and I was hooked. One trip back with my husband and we were all in. My favorite part of building with Ryan and Bryan was the ease with which everything transpired. We had two friends who were building at the same time and our delightful experience looked like a trip to Disneyland compared to the horror stories they told."

-Connie Rishworth

"This will be our second home built by Cecil & Ray Homes. We were so pleased with the quality of our first home that was built seven years ago, that when we decided to downsize, we went straight to Cecil & Ray."
