We work hard to ensure San Rufo clients are happy and satisfied with their new homes.
Through quality craftsmanship and the process of building trust and accountability, we’ve developed some outstanding relationships. Here is a sample of what our homeowners have to say:
I had the pleasure of working with San Rufo, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the very first consultation to the final walk-through, the team demonstrated an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction and quality craftsmanship.
Corrinna Larsen made the entire home-buying experience incredibly smooth and stress-free. From the moment I walked in, she took the time to understand our needs and answered all our questions with patience and clarity. She guided us through every step of the process, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. Corrinna’s professionalism, clear communication, and attention to detail turned what could have been a stressful process into something effortless and exciting. I truly felt supported every step of the way.
When unexpected challenges arose—as they inevitably do in any construction project—Matt Lecky at San Rufo went above and beyond to resolve them. He not only found effective solutions but also kept us informed at every stage, ensuring we were always comfortable with the direction things were heading. His hands-on approach and willingness to share his expertise showed how much he values customer satisfaction. It was clear he genuinely cares about delivering a positive experience, which gave us confidence and support throughout the entire process.
As a first-time homebuyer, the process of purchasing a new build can feel overwhelming and stressful. From navigating complex paperwork to making design decisions, there’s a lot to manage. It’s easy to feel uncertain about the choices you’re making, especially when it’s your first experience. However, working with a builder who prioritizes communication, transparency, and customer care makes all the difference. They ease the stress and ensure your dream home becomes a reality without unnecessary anxiety.
If you’re looking for a home builder who is reliable, communicative, and dedicated to delivering exceptional results, I can’t recommend San Rufo enough. They truly went above and beyond, and we are absolutely thrilled with our new home!

We hired San Rufo Homes to build our forever home back in 2021. This was a large-scale custom build with extensive customizations (over 20 change orders with well over 100 individual customizations). We cannot express how grateful we are for the patience, professionalism, and hard work displayed by Ashley, Yasmin, and the entire production team. They were extremely accommodating and patient with us and truly went above and beyond to ensure we got the home we dreamed of.
The entire build process was a dream come true, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We have been in the home for two years now and absolutely love it. The San Rufo team has stood by their product and taken care of us even after possession, which is something that not many companies do. We wholeheartedly recommend seeing Ashley for your next home. She and her team are amazing to work with.
Thank you, Ashley, Yasmin, and the San Rufo team, for such a wonderful home-building experience.

Dream come true with San Rufo Homes. We absolutely love our new home—you did a great job!
Thank you for making sure to meet and exceed our expectations. We will definitely recommend San Rufo Homes. Shoutout as well to Billie for helping us from the start until possession—she is the best!

Looking for a dream home but not having enough time to build can be tough! San Rufo is one of the few builders who go out of their way to semi-customize a completed home to make their clients happy.
We just moved into our San Rufo home and love every bit of it! Special thanks to Billie—she was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout our home purchase.
Thank you, San Rufo, for your great service!

I built my custom home with San Rufo, and the service and quality of workmanship are amazing. Everyone is great when selling you a house, but it’s the after-service that makes a big difference for any customer.
It’s been about two years since I got my house, and during this time, I’ve had a few small issues—all of which have been taken care of promptly. The entire staff is amazing, but the biggest standout is the owner, John, who is personally very active and responsible.
Just yesterday, I had no hot water on a Friday night during a long weekend. I didn’t know what to do, so I emailed John at 10:30 p.m., and within five minutes, he replied and cc’d someone to handle it. I couldn’t believe it and will never forget this act of kindness.
If you’re looking to buy a home and have the option to choose San Rufo, look no further. These guys are the best.
Thank you, John, and the San Rufo team!

We built our home in Riverside with San Rufo, and it was an easy and enjoyable experience. Our project manager, Chris Thompson, was attentive and addressed our questions and concerns throughout the process. There were a few minor issues, as is typical with any new build, but Chris ensured the trades resolved them promptly. Thank you, Chris!
The warranty team has been very responsive as well. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience.
I would highly recommend San Rufo if you’re looking to build a home customized to suit your needs.
Pauline Smeltz
I built my home with San Rufo, and I would recommend them to any new home buyer. Corrinna and John were easy to work with, and the after-service repairs have been handled smoothly.
Overall, everything went well, and I absolutely love my beautiful custom home.
Jeanette Friedenberger
We are happy with our experience building our new house with San Rufo. From the day we started to inquire, Conny de Vos was very helpful, accommodating with our time availabilities, and patient with all the questions we had. She made the buying and building process seamless and smooth. We built a good connection that made us feel comfortable. This is our 3rd house but the first time building a new one, which I would say is the best decision we ever made. We would love to recommend and send referrals to Conny and San Rufo.
Nona Caraig
I am very impressed with San Rufo Homes.
John’s company is doing an excellent job building our home, and John himself has been directly involved in the process. His suggestions and experience have added tremendous value to our build.
Corrinna truly cares about her clients and has been incredibly helpful throughout. She is personable, easy to work with, and an absolute pleasure to collaborate with.
Heather did an amazing job with our design, offering fantastic recommendations. It’s clear she is committed to making the home just right, which is refreshing and appreciated.
Once again, great job by the San Rufo team. We’re thrilled to have partnered with them on our home-building journey!
Paul Crane
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team at San Rufo Homes for a job well done with our new home.
Before deciding to build with you, I visited many builders and made several inquiries. Some of the builders I met were not convincing—I wasn’t impressed with the quality of their builds, and their approach as salespeople didn’t feel like they had my best interests at heart. Many were too pushy about making the sale.
The first person who introduced me to San Rufo hadn’t actually built with them but mentioned he wished he had. Later, I visited another friend who simply wanted me to see his house, and that visit marked the beginning of my interest in San Rufo. He gave me Corrinna Larsen’s contact information, and that started our journey.
Corrinna stood out from every other sales representative I had spoken with. She didn’t focus on making the sale but instead took the time to understand my family’s desires. She even asked me to write a list of what we wanted before discussing pricing and then started working toward those goals. Even when everything didn’t go according to plan, she reached out to Mr. John, who personally spoke with me. That conversation sealed the deal. I was deeply impressed that the owner of the company took the time to speak with me directly, a gesture that demonstrated genuine customer care.
Every one of my interests was addressed, and many were executed even better than I had imagined. From the bathroom, stairs, and entrance to the fireplace and island—everything exceeded my expectations. Over the holidays, several friends visited and couldn’t believe that some of the fixtures in our house were standard and not upgrades like those offered by their builders. I will be sure to refer them in the future.
Corrinna, you did an excellent job—keep up the great work! Thank you for attending to all my concerns, your thoughtful planning, and for alleviating all my fears. San Rufo, your customer-first approach makes you the best. Thank you!
Deji Fapojuwo
We built a custom home with San Rufo and had a very positive and enjoyable experience! Corrinna, the sales manager, supported us every step of the way, providing open and honest feedback and information.
We even had the opportunity to speak directly with the owner of the company, John—a great perk of working with a local builder! One of the most important factors for us when choosing a builder was trust. With San Rufo, we always knew exactly what was happening with our home at every stage—no surprises or hidden costs.
We would absolutely recommend San Rufo to anyone looking to build their dream home. We are so happy with our new home!
Matt Albers
Our experience purchasing our new duplex from San Rufo Homes has been fantastic.
The site manager has gone above and beyond to ensure the process of buying this home has been as smooth and easy as possible. Living in another province, we relied heavily on San Rufo for support, and they exceeded our expectations. They assisted with walkthroughs, closing, setting up utilities, and even provided advice for trades and furniture—helping us choose, purchase, and arrange delivery.
The site supervisor has always been available to help us, and the team as a whole has been professional, supportive, and accessible. I would highly recommend San Rufo Homes!
Lori Bianchini
We are building with San Rufo in Riverside, St. Albert, and it has been a fantastic experience so far.
Our sales representative, Mandie, is wonderful—kind, thorough, and friendly. The team takes as much time as we need to ensure we will be 100% happy with the final product. They have truly made this an absolutely pleasant experience for us.
We cannot say enough good things about San Rufo and tell everyone we know about our wonderful experience.
Kayla Groten
Building our dream home with San Rufo was undoubtedly the best decision we could have made.
Their sales, construction, and office staff were always professional and worked closely with us to meet all of our expectations. They were also incredibly flexible whenever we wanted to make changes or adjustments to certain features.
We will definitely recommend San Rufo to our friends and family.
Sergio Marin
I believe San Rufo builds some of the best homes in St. Albert and Spruce Grove.
Their sales staff were fantastic to work with and extremely knowledgeable about the areas and the quality of construction that goes into each of their homes.
I highly recommend anyone looking in the areas where they are building to seriously consider San Rufo.
Brad Daoust
The entire team at San Rufo Homes went above and beyond to create a beautiful home for my family and me. The sales representative was professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating of all my requests, no matter how unusual they were.
The design process was wonderful—we loved meeting with different suppliers to make the house truly feel like ours. The construction team took a genuine interest in the build, and the tradespeople were consistently respectful and skilled.
The warranty team also exceeded expectations with their customer service. They addressed a few items they weren’t obligated to and always responded to my requests and questions promptly.
An exceptional home builder!
Laurissa M.
I moved into Riverside almost a year ago. I didn’t go through the building process with San Rufo, but I purchased a home that was already built. Any issues I encountered were addressed promptly.
Overall, I am quite happy with my San Rufo home and would gladly purchase another from them in the future.
S.L.
If you’re looking for a home builder who is reliable, communicative, and dedicated to delivering exceptional results, I can’t recommend SanRufo enough. They truly went above and beyond!
Tarminder
I just wanted to thank you all for the amazing efforts each of you have done to make this a reality for our boys to purchase their first home. You guys have gone above and beyond in accommodating them to the very end. It is hugely appreciated and has not gone un-noticed.
The quality of construction has been great and from all the office staff to sales staff, etc. It has been a great pleasure watching this unfold for our boys. The boys are super excited and are looking forward to this becoming a reality. Jarrett and Tyson (my boys) are doing everything they can to help spread the word and have a friend already writing a purchase agreement for [another duplex]. You have made believers of some young people and they will support you for a long time to come because of your heart and dedication.
Thanks you for everything once again and we look forward to many opportunities together in the future

In April 2007, I accepted yet another transfer, this time to Edmonton. My wife and I knew the market had sky rocketed in this area, and we were apprehensive of what prices might be. After spending many countless evenings driving by sale signs, and making follow up phone calls, we decided that building might be the way to go, however having built two homes in the last 6 years in other locations, we weren’t keen on this, especially knowing what the market was, and what the tradesman situation would offer.
Not knowing any contractors in the area, I probably contacted 6-8 contractors, none of which really showed any interest, or compassion to our situation, as we needed to get into a residence sooner then later. One Sunday, I called San Rufo Homes, really not expecting an answer, however I was wrong. I spoke with John Stabile, and explained our situation. In no time, John set up an appointment. My wife and I met with John, telling him what our desires were. John took a great deal of time, not only showing us homes and plans, but even took us through various homes San Rufo were building at various stages, to ensure we knew what type of product and quality they offered.
On June 1st, our build began, and right from the onset, we could see his tradesmen were of a very high standard. As San Rufo is a family business, John, Tony, or his Mom and Dad, were always on hand to walk us through every stage to ensure we were fully satisfied. John’s quote was, “we want you to be happy when the project is completed”
In December, our home was completed. The end product was completed both professionally and tastefully. As with any construction project, there are bound to be minor deficiencies, and San Rufo Homes stood by their product immediately, rectifying these minute problems.
My wife and I highly, recommend San Rufo Homes to anyone who is looking for a top notch contractor who sincerely cares about his product and the client. John and his family are extremely honest, very professional and highly competent.
Sincerely,
Dan and Kathy Hovorka
I have known the Stabile family for over 20 years and have been acting as counsel for their family business San Rufo Homes for quite a few years.
San Rufo Homes has developed a reputation for excellent quality and second to none customer service. The Stabiles are some of the hardest working individuals I know.
In addition to their hard work, the Stabiles are people of the highest integrity and character and the type of business people that can be trusted with a simple handshake. The Stabile’s drive to succeed will ensure that any venture San Rufo Homes takes on will achieve the best result possible. As a result, I have no hesitation in providing you with this endorsement of the Stabile family and their business.
Ben Guido
We are writing this letter to San Rufo Homes letting you know how delighted we are with our new home. During the planning stages, your patience and personal attention allowed for a development of design that specifically addressed our needs.
We also appreciated your meticulous attention to detail once the actual construction began, along with your willingness towards allowing us to participate in the construction stage of this project.
These factors allowed us to have confidence that the end product would meet our expectations, despite the fact that the entire local labour market was in a state of flux during the building period.
Since moving into the home, we have also been appreciative of your responsiveness to the few minor problems which have arisen.
In summary, it has been a pleasure to work with you and would strongly consider building with San Rufo Homes once again in the future.
Thanks again.
Sheryl and Trevor Kereliuk
My husband and I started a business relationship with San Rufo homes in March, 2006 to build a 2100 sq ft raised bungalow in The Banks of Sturgeon County. Of course, the building requirements on an estate acreage community required many revisions of blue prints and architectural exterior design. John Stabile, our sales representative, guided us through the process to make the most impact while maintaining a cost effective price.
Jeff and I also appreciated the family style approach to the home building process. San Rufo Homes takes you in as a valued client and friend and is very honest and loyal about what they say and do. While other home builders during the 2007 build process were increasing prices on clients, San Rufo stuck to their price and didn’t reduce the quality of their building to save costs. Any house deficiencies were always dealt with and both John and Tony Stabile were flexible to make changes to the interior framing on the fly.
In the end, Jeff and I were very happy with our home and the value vs cost was very good.
Sincerely,
Tara Davies
