Build or Remodel?

Why Build?

Build a more efficient, greener home than you can find in an older home.

No need to remodel a new home, no hidden problems and costs.

Own all new and warrantied appliances, HVAC, roof, stucco, windows, etc.!

You can have a floor plan tailored to meet your family's needs and busy lifestyle.

Reside in a new location for the school district, for shopping, ease of access to work and play, and safety.

Have a home built for the same money as you can purchase an existing home that needs work.

Why Remodel?

You love your neighborhood.

You hate the thought of moving.

You love your local church, shopping and school district.

We can visit you in your home and listen to your dreams for your home, then draw up a proposal to enlarge, modernize, and/or update your existing home!

We have had an excellent experience working with Ms. Short on this project... We would highly recommend Vineyard Homes to anyone considering building a new home or a home renovation."

– Christine and Robert

"Walking into Deb's Vineyard Homes model in the 2017 Parade of Homes, we knew this was the house we wanted to build and the builder who could make it happen... Deb was easy to work with and along the way, offered design suggestions that made our home special. In fact, it won two awards during the 2018 Parade of Homes!"

– Barb and Larry

"I wanted to take the time to extend my sincere appreciation to the unbelievable job you did in constructing my new home. You provided a comprehensive vision of the finished product beyond my ability to envision. My home reflects your ability to work creatively and diligently with me until we were both satisfied. The quality of the craftsmanship continues to impress me and all who see it. I would absolutely build with Vineyard Homes LLC again."

– Gilbert

 

"Thank you so much for building our beautiful home. We love everything about it! My experience with you and the other pros at Vineyard Homes has been amazing! You know I enjoyed the experience because I called on you to completely remodel my other home in Paako. I would highly recommend Vineyard Homes to anyone who is building or remodeling. In fact I have! Thank you again!"

– Dick

"I would recommend Deb Short of Vineyard Homes to other people because of the quality of house she builds for the cost. There was also some issues of getting utilities to our property that she worked through to our satisfaction. The house has custom details and an open design that we have been enjoying living with. Many thanks to the Vineyard Homes Team."

– Rob

"It was our great fortune to finally discover Vineyard Homes. We looked at Vineyard's exceptional product, the company's attention to detail and design, and we were particularly impressed by Deborah Short and her skills and considerable experience in custom homebuilding and remodeling. We were not disappointed with our decision to hire Vineyard Homes. We highly recommend Deb and her team of professionals."

– Robert

"Vineyard Homes has just completed my new home. I was very comfortable in leaving the construction to Deb Short, the builder at Vineyard Homes. I trusted that she would meet my needs and desires in the home. The finishing subcontractors really did a perfect job. I am very proud of the home and some friends are already planning on Vineyard building their next home. From the designing to completion, the process went smoothly and I am very pleased with my home!"

– Jacques

"My family and friends were not allowed to see our new home until it was on Parade! This was our decision because I wanted the "big reveal" to occur on the first day of the Albuquerque Parade of Homes. WOW! They were stunned at the beauty, practicality, and efficiency of our new home! So was I! I even got great decorating ideas from how they staged it for the parade. If you get the chance to build with Vineyard Homes and be part of the Parade of Homes, DO IT!!"

– Tim and Mang

"I would build my home all over again if I could do it with Deb Short and her team at Vineyard Homes! What an easy, fun experience! I had guidance during every step of the process from design to turning my key in the new lock! I was an important member of the Vineyard Homes team and they are terrific, and so is my home!"

– Angelina and Michael

"If you think that you can buy a home with everything you want, you are wrong. If you want your dream home you will have to build it! Vineyard Homes built my home and I got just what I wanted and it was finished early."

– Brad and Sue

"I was so worried about building a house. I had heard so many horror stories about how difficult it can be. But Deb Short made it so painless and helped me at every step. I would recommend Vineyard Homes for a great home building experience!"

– Charles and Deanna

"Only a few short years ago Vineyard Homes built our home. We love it! Thank you, Deb!"
