The entire Sentinel team cared about us and our new home. Top notch service and always went the extra yard. Fantastic experience and highly recommended.

Grant Paterson

We find building our home with them was one of the best decisions we made. Everyone who visits us comments on the finishing and workmanship. That says a lot. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We have at every stage had excellent communication & wonderful personal service. The whole experience has been first-class. I can't recommend Sentinel Homes Waikato enough. Thank you all so much

We loved working with the team at Sentinel Homes Waikato. From woe to go everyone we dealt with was AWESOME and very good at their job!!

Sarah Sheeran

Having Sentinel owned by a husband / wife team also felt like you got that extra bit of care as a family owned business. The quality and finish of the home is great. We knew we'd get a quality build from Sentinel and they didn't disappoint!

Michelle Norman

We wanted bespoke architects and builders rather than something already on a plan. Being the second time we built, we knew what we were looking for and Hayden and his team could deliver that. We had the most fantastic builders and project manager, who had a great relationship with us directly and their craftsmanship was meticulous.
