“As an architect I get to work with all the best contractors on the peninsula. Joel Elliott of Elliot Homes is one of them. He is conscious to details, and has the most design sense of any contractors I work with. His homes always have the newest features available and his finishes are done to perfection.
Anyone looking for a contractor needs to visit one of Joel's homes and compare.”

“We turned over our tired, neglected lakeside cabin to Joel & Tamara, where they truly transformed the space into a livable, state of the art dwelling that still has us in awe that this is the same building we entrusted over to them. The quality of their materials, workmanship, design and personal touches makes the space very livable and exceeded our expectations. Their vision of how we could reuse and open the space up was not something we imagined. We gave our overall thoughts of what we wanted then allowed them to take over to deliver. They selected all the materials and fixtures, pulling together a very classy look that was beyond what we imagined and just really love, especially the lighting and extra touches! The project was completed ahead of schedule and the site left clean and fresh. Joel handled all the unpleasant surprises he and his team uncovered during the gutting and remodeling, not only communicating the issues promptly but addressing and resolving the problems professionally. We know we were lucky to have Joel & Tamara tackle this project for us!”

“Joel's knowledge, professionalism, and integrity was evident from our very first conversation. We were moving to Port Angeles from 1500 miles away, but we had enough confidence in Joel to buy his home sight unseen. Joel was always available to address any questions or concerns, and he kept us informed during each step of the building process. Despite all the challenges of the pandemic and supply chain issues, Joel completed the home slightly ahead of schedule. When we finally moved here and saw the completed home for the first time, we were blown away! The exterior features and curb appeal were only the beginning. We stepped into the home all we could say was WOW, our home is STUNNING! The superior craftsmanship and attention to detail was immediately evident. All the finishes, special touches and wonderful extras that Joel and Tamara put into the home work so well together and they created an absolutely beautiful home worthy of being in a magazine. We absolutely love it and are pleased beyond words to be the owners of a new Joel Elliott Home.”

“Everyone who has come to the house has commented on how wonderful it is! My new house has surpassed my expectations in the quality and beauty. I was overwhelmed when I first walked in and saw the finished product. It exceeded my expectations across the board. Huge thanks to everyone involved!”

“We choose Joel and Tamara after a few months of looking at new construction homes being built in the area. Joel has an unbelievable unique talent when it comes to building these beautiful unique homes. Besides all the impeccable precise craftsmanship and details Joel built our home in the most difficult times of the pandemic and met his deadline early. Our lovely home was built to perfection… in 4 months….this man does not cut corners. Joel runs a clean tight ship and uses quality products…every matter of the project was always discussed with us. My favorite is all the little extras he adds in. Joel listens to you as your touring other homes he built and remembers what you thought would be nice to add or change and makes it such a nice surprise. We are so pleased and excited to move into our new quality ranch style home.”
—Scott & Ruby
“We are very excited that we will be moving into our new home, designed and built by Joel Elliott. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are immediately apparent. High quality materials were used from the foundation and flooring to the roofing. Appliances and fixtures are also high quality. The house is solidly built. What isn’t immediately apparent are features not normally found in this price range, like the concealed fire sprinkler system and the recirculating hot water system. I’m sure that we will find other features Joel incorporated in his design as we enjoy living in our new home. We found Joel to be an easy person to work with who deals with his clients fairly. We asked Joel to add a major modification to his original design and we found him to be very accommodating which we very much appreciated. Without any hesitation or reservation we recommend Joel Elliott Homes for new construction and remodeling.”
—Al and Barbara Iverson
“I wanted to take a moment and thank Joel and Tamara for building such a beautiful home. From the first day we walked the floor together and they shared their vision, to the final move in day, their communication and personal touch made this experience truly exceptional. The home is a one of a kind PNW build. The colors and design elements they incorporated into the home fit so well into this beautiful back drop of mountains and sea. The step by step updates and follow-up even after the sale instilled confidence in the purchase decision. I have and will continue to recommend Joel Elliott Homes as a premium builder to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for building the home of my dreams.

“I am so glad to have found my Joel Elliott home in Port Angeles! Not only is it charming and inviting as I drive up to it, it is impeccably designed and constructed to be easy to enjoy and relax in. Thoughtful details like a motion sensor that turns on the light when I walk in from the garage mean there are fewer things to have everyday, low-level struggles with. The front porch makes it easy to be neighborly, even with all these Covid concerns. The great room layout feels like a luxury, and many of the other details that are top of the line I wouldn't have known the value of until living with them. For instance, I wouldn't have chosen the bathroom sinks that are used because I thought they were just a gimmick, but I really like how attractive and functional they are, right down to how easy it is to engage and disengage the drain. And possibly the best thing of all is the sense that Joel's whole family has contributed to many personal details, like the personalized bar-b-q cover with my name on it,** and the cushion Tamara made for the bench in the laundry room. My other favorite thoughtful detail: lighting under the kitchen cabinets! Joel has been true to his word that he stands behind everything. The few things that I have been confused about brought an immediate response. It makes me happy to be home. ”

“I was in Port Angeles for a long weekend shopping for a house when I met Joel. He was working on the landscaping at his new construction house. I asked him if the house was for sale, it was not listed and not finished. He gave me a tour of the inside and explained what was going to happen with the finish items. I was very impressed with the custom type finishes he was doing. This was not a cookie cutter new construction house. I purchased the house the next day and Joel was so easy going with letting me change a few items and discussing all the stages of completing the house. He has been a great help with a few items that I wanted to change after possession. There have not been any repairs needed and I love the house. .”

“I have worked with Joel and Tamara Elliott for over 20 years. They have purchased numerous homes from me and refurbished them. The transformations are always amazing. Attention to detail and doing things right are their hallmark. The last few years they have started building new homes. Most of these homes are a unique Northwest flair. Buyers of these homes are always thrilled with their new home. On the rare occasion that there is an issue after the sale closes it is taken care of immediately.
I can say that you will not regret buying an Elliott Home.”

“My wife and I have been in our Elliott built home for almost two years now, and are greatly impressed with the quality of their work. Throughout our home, there are many features and aspects that are easily recognizable as Elliott homes making sure they chose high-grade materials. Features ranging from our trim around doors and windows, to our amazing front porch, and kitchen--we love the look and feel of our house. The design has great flow for everyday life, and we're happy that we have such a great home.”
