I first met Todd as a fledgling builder who wanted to be the first builder in a plat I was developing in 2003. To make a long story very short Todd did very good work in my plat Storm Lake Heights which has 60 lots. In the end he was the most successful builder in the plat and built the nicest homes in this plat which is a higher end development in east Snohomish County. I would recommend anybody considering building a custom home consult with Todd before choosing a builder.
I’ve worked with Todd on several projects over the years and know him to do a great job building many of the homes we have designed. The home he built in the 2007 Seattle Street of Dreams was a good example of his skill and workmanship. I would heartily recommend Todd to anyone wanting a home built.
Todd built our new home and the results were superb. From the detailed finish work and care for every part of construction to the outstanding communication and professionalism, we could not have been more pleased with the results.

Todd is a flexible and talented builder who helped Alan Mascord Design create the Seattle 2007 Street of Dreams Copper Falls home together. He was easy to work with and listened to input as well as provided good insight along the project. The finished build project was award winning.
His attention to detail is to be valued. He takes pride in his work and is a pleasure to do business with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone building a home or thinking of purchasing a home that he has built.

We chose Lockie Homes for our remodel after considering other contractors — their attention to detail and customer satisfaction stood out immediately. Todd presented a thorough schedule from day one and was on-site throughout, keeping us informed at every step. His wife Mary, an interior decorator, guided us through every finish selection and turned what could have been an overwhelming process into a seamless experience. Todd’s relationships with his sub-contractors showed in the quality of the work, and any redos after walk-through were handled quickly. We would recommend this team most heartily.
I purchased our family home from Todd. I have never seen such excellent attention to detail and quality within a home, particularly for the value. Perhaps even more importantly, even several years after our work was complete, Todd was willing to come back and do work to fix a problem at no charge. I would definitely use Todd again in the future.

As seasoned homeowners — eight residences, three of which we built or self-contracted — we came to Lockie Homes with exacting expectations. This purchase has proven to be our finest yet. The home’s orientation to capture breathtaking views is a rarity in speculative builds. Exceptional curb appeal gave way to impeccable interiors, and the comfort we felt on move-in day has only deepened over a year of living here. Our relationship with Todd Lockie has been professional and genuine throughout. We wholeheartedly recommend Lockie Homes to anyone.
As a former fine art instructor, I told my students that true art requires craftsmanship married to creativity. Our home is exactly that. Todd’s combining of elegant space and line with exquisite craftsmanship has created something we are extremely proud to own — equally suited to entertaining our most discerning clients and quiet evenings with our four children. His continued follow-up months after closing, ensuring our home was free of imperfections, was exceptional. I recommend Todd as a builder, artist, and businessman to my most valued family, friends, and clientele.
My wife and I bought our current home from Lockie Homes. It is our 8th home, 3 of which we’ve built or self-contracted. We have definite ideas of what we desire in a home. This Lockie home is better than any we’ve had. There’s a view and the home is oriented to take advantage of the view, unusual in a “spec” house. The design is such that we have been comfortable in it right from “move-in-day.” Initially, the curb appeal was excellent, and subsequently the interior finish and appointments were even better. After living here for over a year, we continue to be completely satisfied with the home, and even more pleased with the professional relationship that has developed with Mr. Lockie, the builder. We would recommend Lockie Homes to anyone.
My wife and I are immensely grateful for the exceptional home you and your team at Lockie Homes crafted for us. The artistry and precision evident in every facet of the design and construction are truly remarkable, resulting in a residence that exceeds our highest expectations. The meticulous attention to detail and distinctive features woven throughout the home are so numerous that they demand to be experienced firsthand.
Among the many standout elements, we particularly admire the following:
– Elegant under-cabinet lighting in the kitchen, enhancing both functionality and ambiance.
– Crown molding in the formal dining room, subtly illuminated by concealed rope lighting for a refined effect.
– Thoughtfully wired ventilation fans that activate at night to optimize air circulation.
– Lustrous Brazilian cherry wood floors and cabinetry, exuding timeless sophistication.
– Generously proportioned rooms and an expanded garage, elevating the home’s spaciousness, utility, and curb appeal.
– Oversized garage doors equipped with robust, remote-operated openers for seamless access.
– Comprehensive wiring for a central vacuum system, security system, and generator, ensuring modern convenience and preparedness.
– A sophisticated three-zone heating and cooling system for personalized comfort.
– A cohesive suite of stainless steel appliances, including a microwave, double ovens, and a five-burner cooktop with overhead ventilation.
– A striking stone fireplace and mantle, serving as a captivating focal point.
– Efficient propane-powered appliances, including the fireplace, cooktop, water heater, and furnace.
– High-performance air conditioning for year-round comfort.
– Advanced Ethernet and telephone cabling in every room, supporting seamless connectivity.
– A charming wrap-around porch, perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
– Premium Milgard windows, blending style and durability.
– A reassuring one-year warranty, reflecting your commitment to quality.
These highlights merely scratch the surface of the extraordinary features you’ve incorporated into our home. We would be delighted to showcase your impeccable craftsmanship to prospective clients, allowing them to witness the caliber of your work firsthand. Thank you once again for delivering a residence that is nothing short of breathtaking.
Warmest regards,
Larry and Alicia Kemp
Dear Todd,
I wanted to write to you to thank you so much for building our house. Laura and I are so impressed with the quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail in the home. We are particularly amazed at the quality of the finishing work. We looked at homes for a long time before finding your home in Storm Lake Heights; we did not find any homes in the price range that came close to the quality of the home you built, particularly the interior finishing.
Probably of even greater importance has been your follow through. I have heard so many horror stories about people who build new homes and once the house is closed the builder will not deal with any latent problems that come up. We have had very few issues with our house but you have dealt with each one of them promptly and professionally.
Again, Laura and I want to thank you for building our home. We enjoy it tremendously and we would certainly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a custom home or high end custom-like home.
Not a day goes by that we don’t sit with our coffee and benefit from the attention to detail and personal touches that you put into this home. We looked at many new homes and none had the personal detail or build quality that ours contain. After meeting you, it is clear why our home is incredible. You love what you do, and you are dedicated to a quality end result. Even after we purchased the home you have ensured that everything is working as you intended. Thankfully the home is working perfectly which gives us great confidence in the long term value and enjoyment of this home. This home is definitely set apart from the others, and it is directly related to your execution of excellence. Thank you again for building such a wonderful home, and we looking forward to calling you to build our next home.
To Whom it may Concern:
Buying a house is an emotional experience; on one hand it’s totally exhilarating and at the same time, it’s incredibly frightening. Building your dream home starts long before a foundation is poured. For my wife and I, the process started when we first created our dream home in our heads. When we finally decided to build, our next step was to find a builder who cared as much about creating our dream home as we did.
We went with Lockie Homes, because president Todd Lockie’s view on quality matched our own and we appreciated his approach of working hand in hand with his clients. Todd walked Tarri and I completely through the process from beginning to end. His hands on approach helped take some of the anxiety and fear out of the process of building a new home. Todd was different from other builders we talked to in that he always treated us like valued customers. As issues came up (as they do with any project), Todd was incredibly responsive and what really stood out for us, is that his decisions were ultimately made on what was best for the customer. I believe this is an extremely rare and differentiating attribute of Lockie Homes.
An added value to going with Lockie Homes we didn’t expect but were extremely grateful for was the involvement of Mary Lockie in our interior design. Mary’s talent for putting colors & patterns together for our interior design played a large part in the final look of our home. The result was better than anything my wife and I could have conceived on our own. She was great at listening to our needs and then giving us suggestions about surfaces, designs and then working these ideas into our budget. Having this expertise available to us was a pleasant surprise and it turned out to be critical component of building our home.
When you make the choice to build a home, it’s important you to choose a builder who prioritizes quality, demonstrates craftsmanship and treats you like a valued customer. Lockie Home’s excels at these attributes.
Todd is a man of great character and integrity and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone wishing to receive the best of care in a home building or remodel experience
Todd builds a great home and pays close attention to detail. Todd is intimately involved in every one of his projects and most importantly, Todd has a high degree of integrity and is a man of good character.
I would recommend anybody considering building a custom home consult with Todd before choosing a builder.
