Victor Blair - Residential Land Developer
I first met Tony Aiello while I was in the process of building a new home with a different builder. The home we were living in had already been sold and our next home wasn’t completed yet. As a result, we were in need of a place to live until the builders finished on our new home. For the interim, we purchased a display home in Aiello Homes’ Creekside Place community with the intention of just flipping it when our new home was ready.
It didn’t take us long to realize this wasn’t your ordinary display home. It had the custom features and attention to detail that you’d expect from a highly custom-built home. The longer we lived there, the more we fell in love with it and all of the other homes in the neighborhood. We actually began regretting having not met Tony earlier, so he could have built our new house!
I had a 25 acre tract of land in Foristell, MO that I was planning to develop into a luxury residential community called Kendall Pointe. The land borders a 600 acre equestrian park in Western St. Charles County, and would provide a spectacular backyard view for the future homeowners. I planned to build 6 homes on large 3+ acre sites and I had been looking for the right builder to make it happen. We had another builder lined up, but I wasn’t 100% sold on them. After experiencing Aiello Homes’ quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, I made the decision to bring Tony and his company in as the exclusive builder. Tony’s building style was exactly the theme we were trying to capture at Kendall Pointe.
With the first spec home completed, I couldn’t be happier with my decision or more impressed with Aiello Homes. More than any other builder I have worked with, Tony gets involved in every possible element of the construction process that he can, from sales to the designing and building of each home. And he gets the homeowner involved too. He’s honest, and willing to communicate everything with the buyer and let them take ownership of the project. He takes the entire project personally. It’s not just another house to him. It’s a place he wants to be proud of years from now. So he is fully committed to your satisfaction from day 1.
9 times out of 10, the relationship between builders and buyers sours after the house is completed. That’s why it is so amazing that many of the homes Tony builds are for repeat customers. But his craftsmanship speaks for itself. I’ve saved 25 acres adjacent to Kendall Park for myself. And I’ve already decided that’s where Tony will build my next home. .
Bill Wadlow - The Villas of Indigo Run at Bear Creek
Six years ago, my wife and I were making plans for my retirement. We decided we’d like to build a new villa on a golf course somewhere. Being from Illinois, we weren’t particularly set on moving to Wentzville- in fact, we didn’t even know where Wentzville was. But some of our friends lived in the area, so we decided to check it out. Initially, we began looking at a different builder’s villas at Bear Creek. My wife liked a few of the homes we had seen, but I wasn’t completely sold. I just didn’t see the level of quality that I was hoping for. I told my wife, “When we see the villa we want, we’ll know it.”
A friend of ours asked us if we had seen any of the villas that Aiello Homes was building in the community. We hadn’t, so we got together with them to take a look at the Aiello display home at Bear Creek. Within minutes of walking into the Aiello display home, we were convinced that we had found our builder. As I walked through the house, I started noticing the intricate attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. We called Tony Aiello and set up a meeting to begin planning our new home.
We spent about a month and a half working back and forth with Tony to design our villa. Looking back, it seems like every time we met with Tony, we changed the plan. But Tony was patient through the entire process. He patiently helped us through each decision and each change. Once the building process began, he held an open door policy at all times. We were free to come and go on the jobsite and make changes to the design as the house was being built. Unless the change was a materials upgrade, we were never charged. Other builders I have worked with typically charge $50 each time you make a change to the home, to discourage the buyer from complicating things for the builder. But Tony was so dedicated to giving us exactly what we wanted that he encouraged us to do what we thought was necessary to make the home a perfect fit, even if it meant more work for him.
Quality is what sets Tony apart in the homebuilding industry. He’s not interested in building the most houses. He’s interested in building the best houses. Our Aiello villa is the third custom house my wife and I have owned. And the craftsmanship in this home is far superior to anything we’ve ever seen. Tony only hires the best people available, and his workers share his passion for custom home building. Throughout the entire construction process, Tony remained on site making sure the job got done right.
We’ve gotten to know Tony and Rhonda very well since our home was completed. Aiello Homes is still building in our neighborhood, so we see Tony quite often. To this day if there’s anything I need done in my home, I can count on him to take care of it for me. In the years I have been associated with Aiello Homes I have learned this much: they’re fair and honest people and their workmanship is far superior to the industry standard.
Garry Bartles - Creekside Place
Unlike most Aiello homeowners, we hadn’t yet met Tony Aiello when we bought our home in Creekside Place. The home was Tony’s display home for the community, and the original owners had decided to sell it. We were looking for a home in the Wentzville area and this one fit the bill. It was a beautiful home in an equally charming community and we fell in love with it from the start.
I do some woodworking as a hobby, and had several large power tools that I would be bringing with when I moved into the house. But there wasn’t anywhere to put them. We didn’t have room in the garage, and the home has a beautiful finished basement. There was no way that it was going to become my workshop.
Even though we were neighbors, I still hadn’t met Tony yet. So I contracted a remodeler to build a room onto the house that would serve as my workshop. It would be a 17’ x 17’ addition that would give me the space I needed to work. But there were a lot of problems. I went back and forth with the builder, and he just wasn’t getting the job done. One day while I was out in the front yard, Tony came over and introduced himself. He said he knew we were having problems with the remodeler and said that if there was anything Aiello Homes could do to help, to let him know. I asked him to take a look at it, and give me an estimate. Within a week, Tony’s team had completed the addition at the quoted price- something the other builder hadn’t been able to do in the five months I had been working with him. That was the beginning of a lasting friendship.
There’s a lot of good that can be said about Tony and Aiello Homes. First of all, Tony is a man of his word. Anyone he has worked with will tell you that he is plain spoken and does exactly what he says he is going to do. That quality is surprisingly rare in his industry. Equally rare is the hands-on approach Tony takes to his work. The standards of craftsmanship at Aiello Homes are remarkably high. The attention to detail is evident in the finished product. And Tony is easy to talk to. Some builders might be tempted to distance themselves from the communities they build, in an effort to avoid complaints in the years to come. Tony is so confident in his work, that he lives here, among his customers at Creekside Place. Just last week, Tony and I were talking with another neighbor who was getting ready to seal his driveway. Tony recommended a product and a place to buy it, and actually helped the guy get a break in the cost of materials as well.
I spent 30+ years as an insurance claims adjuster in Nebraska. In that time I became familiar with tornado claims and home construction, and I can say with confidence that Aiello Homes does amazing work. If I was still in the business, I can’t tell you how happy I would be to work with an honest, straightforward contractor like Tony. We’ve even discussed going into a partnership together to develop and sell some property I own at the Lake of the Ozarks. I wouldn’t enter into this kind of agreement with most of the contractors I’ve met over the years. But I would feel 100% comfortable working with Tony if we get to that point in the future. I think that fact alone says a lot about the type of builder and the type of man he is.
