We had the pleasure of working with Rotell(e) to develop our dream home in beautiful Berks County and would do it 10x over! From the start, Cyndi Yaekel, was amazing and guided us through the process during one of the most challenging times with COVID necessitating virtual meetings and phone calls rather than in person. She is super knowledgeable about the development process and was able to always get us answers for an questions we had along the way. We loved how we were able to customize whatever aspect of the house we wanted, rather than be forced into schemes/design pallets with the likes of

It has been over one year since we moved into this house. Here are our final thoughts!
1) the whole building process was one of the worst experiences ever! Starting with Cyndi all the way to Paul Farnsworth it was absolute nightmare. Cyndi is so incompetent in what she does. She is either overwhelmed or just does not know how to do her job. She was not upfront about requested information and Rotelle ended up charging us additional fees to make changes when it was Cyndi's fault for not providing us the information. If she has been working for 20 yrs, then she has learned nothing on her job. If

I want to give a big shout out to the amazing team with Rotelle. I had my brand new home purchased and built during this crazy pandemic, and I cannot thank everyone that built my dream home the way that I wanted it to be done. My home was built for my child who is handicap and with this challenge Jesse and his team did an amazing job. Some examples: Making the hall bathroom tub low enough for my son to get in and out of, grab bars that are accessible for him to reach etc. The communication I had with Jesse, Cydni and the rest of the team with Rotelle was always perfect. They accommodated my needs

My wife and I can't speak highly enough about our experience with Rotelle. Communication with Cindy and the entire team has been flawless to date. Any changes we have made to our build have been addressed in a timely and professional manner by Rotelle. I see negative comments on here and quite frankly, they do not concern me one bit. I have been involved with residential and commercial construction for over 20 years... my wife has been on the commercial side of construction for over 10 years. Trust me, we have seen it all when it comes to poor builds. We have owned homes built by THP and Judd,
