“We had experience with building new homes before we worked with Occidental Construction, but Eric was the first builder to be more concerned and picky about the final product than we were. His coordinated approach to getting things done ensured our home was completed on time per his projected estimate. He also stayed completely within budget and even kicked back some credits for items we purchased directly. We'd never had a builder ever give back anything before, and his honesty and work ethic earned our respect. We solicited bids from several local builders and part of our selection process including asking each builder how they would improve the design. Only Eric thoroughly studied the architectural plans and was ready to respond with welcomed suggestions. This attention to detail made us believe Eric was the right choice. Our home came out beautiful and we would highly recommend Occidental Construction to anyone.” - Mike and Laura L.

“I approached Eric about building a home several years ago. When I described my dream house to him he said “That sounds like a spec house I built. Want to see it?” It was beautiful. I fell in love with it immediately. It was a quality home and the price was terrific! I mentioned that my husband wanted a workshop.Eric built one on the property, a detached double garage with a second floor which beautifully compliments our house. Visitors have thought it was a second house on our lot! There were other finishing touches we asked for and Eric came through on everything. My husband and I highly recommend Occidental. Eric is a nice guy who does outstanding work and his prices have been very reasonable!”- Diane M.

“Eric built my home back in 2006. Although I had several changes and additions along the way he was still able to turn my visions into a reality. He added columns where I wanted them and built-in desks and even a built-in twin bed in the wall for my daughter’s room. We still managed to close on time! I highly recommend Eric for your home building needs!” - Nancy W.

“Having done numerous house remodels over the years, we found Eric to be the easiest and most responsive contractor we have ever used. His attention to detail surpassed our own standards and his follow up and pride in his work are superior to any professional we have dealt with in the industry. He was where he said he would be at all times and if timelines changed, he communicated regularly. His integrity and trustworthiness are equally exceptional. We have never recommended a contractor to friends and family before, but Occidental Construction has our full faith and recommendation. We would use them for any job in the future.” – Christine & Charles D.

“I needed a contractor for a bathroom remodel and some structural repairs. Eric was recommended to me by friends and he did not disappoint. As is the case with a lot of remodels, other items kept popping up and Eric never hesitated to take care of things. Very high-quality work – no “band aids.” I was on the West Coast the entire time the work was being done. Eric was super easy to reach and very responsive. Always kept me up to speed with lots of photos as the work progressed. Eric will be doing my kitchen remodel next year!!!” – Mia M.

“While visiting a coworker’s home that she and her husband had built, I wanted to know more about the builder. After meeting Eric, I knew I wanted him to build our home and felt very comfortable with giving him the job. Eric is very accommodating, easy to work with, and we were thrilled with the outcome.” – Linda R.

“We were very thankful we found Eric to build our house. His bid was very competitive and allowances were very reasonable, so there were no real price surprises along the way. He completed the project on time and he accommodated all of our special requests. He is a true “custom builder”. We were so pleased that we also recommended him to my mother and he did an excellent job building her home too. We would definitely use him again!” - Steve M.

“Occidental Construction, under the direction of Eric Degn, built us a beautiful home on Lake Murray. The thing that most impressed me about working with Eric was his attention to detail, and the high standards he sets for his subcontractors.  He knows what quality work is and won’t accept anything less. He is a fair minded individual and will do what it takes to make things right.” - John G.

“I hired Occidental to help me manage a few extra homes I had acquired. It was breath of fresh air to have someone as experienced as Eric to turn my projects over to. His knowledge of construction and experience in dealing with problems alleviated a lot of my stress. I highly recommend Occidental Construction for Project Management.” - Paul P.

“Eric was great to work with and built us a quality custom home at a reasonable price. The project finished ahead of schedule and we have not had any problems with the house whatsoever. I would definitely recommend Occidental.” - Kevin & Shari F.
