Peacock Builders
Testimonials
I recently had the pleasure of working with Tobin Peacock, owner of Peacock Builders. Clients who had lived many years in a treasured 19th century cape sought a significant change in lifestyle. A spectacular site, a restrictive budget, and a desire for an unapologetically contemporary house were parameters which deeply influenced the design solution.
Tobin's input was vital to the process of creating this house within budget. He provided indispensable technical and cost saving information throughout the design and construction phases which allowed us to make more economical aesthetic decisions. In each case, Tobin listened to our goals and brought constructive solutions to the table which honored the aesthetic vision of the house. His demeanor was the right balance of good listening and taking responsibility for getting the job done as carefully and efficiently as possible.

We hired Tobin to build a cabin for us in Steuben in 2009. I spoke with two previous clients and they both recommended him highly, assuring me of his professionalism, ability to communicate, eye for detail and building skills. After working with Tobin, I can attest to all these qualities and more.
Our project provided unique challenges that Tobin handled without a hitch. Without going into details, we had a bad experience with a previous contractor, and we were starting back at square one. When Tobin came on the scene we were traumatized, wary of hiring anyone, and we had much less money in our pocket.
Tobin spent a lot of time patiently listening to us and when we needed it, acted as a collaborator to revise, scale down and cut the costs of the architects' original plans. We credit him with the fact that we have ended up with an extremely well-built and ultra-functional cabin which we are very proud of—everyone who visits comments on the impeccable craftsmanship.
