About

The building process with Van Alan Homes has been remarkable. Alan and Jalyn were by our sides every step of the process in helping us build and design our DREAM home. We have heard horror stories of building a new home, so we were a bit nervous about the process, but after going through it with Van Alan homes, we can honestly say that the entire process was AMAZING! Their team was responsive, transparent and provide exceptional customer service throughout the process. We now can consider Alan and Jayln are now some of our dearest friends, who we will always be thankful for making our dream turn into a reality!

Van Alan Homes built our new home in Lafayette.  Although we have owned several homes over the past forty years, this was the only time that my wife and I have built a home.  It was a long process, but much less stressful than we imagined.  All of Van Alan's employees and most  of the vendors and sub-contractors that Van Alan used were helpful, thorough, and did quality work.  We are  pleased that the home was completed under budget.  We are thoroughly enjoying living in it.

When my wife and I prepared to build a home, it didn’t take us long to realize that we had found the right people once we had met with Alan.  We COULD NOT be more pleased with the outcome!  The results are beyond our initial expectations!  One of the most important things to me during the process was the fact if Alan (or his vendors) said that they would do something, it was done!  The process was a pleasure and there is no doubt I would do it again with VAH!

Van Alan Homes has built three (3) homes for me over the past 5 or 6 years.  Needless to say, there's a reason I have continued choosing Van Alan Homes as my builder.  Their level of professionalism, attention to detail and overall quality of work is what separates them from the list of other builders.  My advise to anyone who is considering which builder/contractor to go with for their new construction project, is to not get zeroed in on the overall costs differences when comparing quotes/estimates.  Remember, you get what you pay for.  You won't regret selecting Van Alan Homes to build your home.

I am a REALTOR so I see a lot of new construction and can honedtly say we love our home!  The attention to detail was excellent. We definitely recommend Van Alan Homes to our friends.

My wife and I are extremely pleased with Van Alan Homes.  Their personal touch with us from design, through the entire construction of our 3,100 square foot home and 1,800 square foot workshop was excellent..  Alan, Jalyn and their entire team are absolutely the best customer focused company we ever worked with.  Note, we previously built three other homes.
Van Alan Homes team's attention to detail from helping us to finalize our floor plans and helping us to consider things we would not have thought of in our floor plan.   Their great guidance from selecting roofing, bricks, all interior and exterior colors, shutters, all appliances, flooring, trim options, door options, shutter options, etc. was just awesome.  Van Alan Homes is also a very cost competitive builder.
Our on-site building superintendent was just great.  He visited our construction site regularly and made sure not only that the subcontractors were doing their jobs in a timely and quality manner but that we were also very happy with the construction progress.  
If we ever build another home, we will definitely be using Van Alan Homes as our very trusted, high quality and cost competitive builder.  NOTE: Van Alan Homes remained on budget throughout our project, which was also very important.  
We did add a few items into our scope after construction began.  We were very much in control of those additions and cost: eg.  Power generator, rain gutters, inside plantation shutters and a sprinkler system were the major items we added to our home later on in the construction process.  Thank you Alan for helping us in getting these late added scope items completed in a very timely manner.  Even with those added scope items we moved within the time frame we had all planned on.

I have the great honor to represent Alan as one of his Real Estate Agents in Acadiana.  The quality and the details are second to none.  His style is so distinctive you immediately know when you're walking into a VAN ALAN HOME! The professionalism offered by Alan, his wife Jaylan and his entire support staff during the building process and especially after the sale, provides comfort, piece of mind and great pride in being the owner of a  VAN ALAN HOME!   If you are looking to build your first home or ready to build that large home of your dreams, you owe it to yourself to give Alan a call.  He is an honest realist, with an open book policy.  He will keep you in budget and produce on time!!!

I have worked with Van Alan Homes as their trusted Realtor and I have seen Alan & Jalyn go above and beyond to make their clients dreams come true by building a customized one of a kind home. You can spot a Van Alan Home strictly by its craftsmanship and signature upgrades they include in their homes. Their staff is amazing to work with and after your transaction closes, you are not just another client, you become like family.

I have worked on many projects with Van Alan homes and they have always done a great job, with attention to the details.  I am very careful of who I recommend to my clients, and Van Alan ihas always provides the service and quality I expect for my clients.

Great contractor to work with.  He is very organized and not high strung as the majority of contractors are.  He seems to be very even tempered.  He provides a high quality product and pays attention to detail.  He is very experienced and can build from. 1200 square foot home to 8000 square foot home with ease.

Alan and his team made my building experience much more professional and pleasant than any of the many others I have encountered.  He and his team were always available to walk through any explanations I asked for and were most patient with all my requests.  I never had to worry from beginning to end just tell them what I wanted. 
 It was like working with a family and not just some strangers building my home.  And when I say home the experience with the team was like building a home and not just a house.   The workmanship and customization was expert.  Working with them and the design I had in mind, we were able to get exactly what I needed and requested in my new home.  Anyone who is considering a new home would do well to select the Van Allan Team.

Van Alan homes is building our custom home.  We have been very pleased with the organization, accuracy, dependency, personalization, and professionalism that they have maintained throughout the process.

He is doing an amazing job on our new home! Can't say enough how great and easy he is to work with. Excellent staff and vendors!

I’ve always dreamed of having a clean, modernist home, and I’m happy to say that Alice and her team at Atelier Cohen led the way to making that dream a reality! I couldn’t be more happy with the project, my house looks like it could be featured in a Kinfolk magazine. I expressed my wishes of having a clean, natural interior aesthetic and they truly delivered – the natural light in my newly designed home is to die for. They also helped me turn my dated, drab living room into a spacious and cozy space in which I can’t wait to host a party. I couldn’t recommend Alice more, if you’re looking for easy collaboration and top-notch design, you have to reach out to them!

I’ve worked with Alice on a few renovation projects and am still floored by her dedication to design and space planning. Never have I experienced a hiccup or missed communication with Atelier Cohen, and home projects tend to create those sorts of problems! They are professional, approachable, and innovative in a way that anyone with any level of home renovating or staging experience will feel like they are in good hands.

Alice’s eye, advice, and service is extremely rare in this business. If you get the chance to work with them, don’t think twice about it!

I had the pleasure of working with Alice on redecorating my childhood home that hadn’t been touched up since I was a teen in the 80’s. I knew it needed a huge refresh aesthetically, but I wasn’t sure where to start. I had a consultation with Alice about my hazy ideas and she was able to understand my tastes and needs after just one chat! The whole design process was so streamlined and thorough that my fears of things going awry totally vanished after the first few meetings. She walked me through every step of the process, from sharing sketches and moodboards to purchasing the final pieces of furniture and decoration. Working with Alice at Atelier Cohen has got to be my greatest investment, I highly recommend their services.

I couldn’t be more happy with the project, our kitchen looks like it could be the envy of Pinterest.
