Testimonials

My family and I could not be happier in our new home built by David and his team at Copper Leaf Development. David could not have been more down to earth, more honest, or more kind to us. On day one, we were told to trust the process and that we would have our dream home. David delivered and on budget. Not many people can say they have a great relationship with their builder; but, we are fortunate enough to have built a lasting friendship with ours. If anyone is considering building a home, I would strongly recommend Copper Leaf Development.

From the moment we walked through one of Copper Leaf Development’s homes, we knew that David Silverstein was the builder for us. The exceptional quality of work and design is evident throughout his homes.  David is personable, humble and dedicated to providing superior service.  The entire Copper Leaf team made our home building process a positive experience.  Copper Leaf’s Project Manager, Anderson, was attentive and always with a smile on his face, whatever our ask.  We also worked closely with Copper Leaf’s designer, who helped make the interior design process fun and exciting, while creating a beautiful and cohesive space.  David and his team worked diligently to stay on schedule, despite supply chain issues.  We were able to close as projected, and the entire team has remained responsive throughout our first year in the home.  We are beyond grateful to David and his entire team of experts for creating our dream home, while also being a pleasure to work with.

If you ever have the opportunity to build or buy a home from Copper Leaf, do it!  Having lived in our home for over a year and a half, I can say confidently that the entire experience has been incredible. The building process was wonderful. The team worked very hard. They were on schedule. Their skill and craftsmanship is unmatched. They went above and beyond for us as we were moving to Wellesley from out of state and didn’t get to visit throughout the process. We put a lot of trust into them, and they exceeded our expectations and overdelivered. David and his team truly care about the buyers’ experience. They make gorgeous homes that are so comfortable to live in. Our family absolutely loves living in our home, and it suits our needs so very well. We are in our dream home, but if we ever decide to move/build again, we’d want to make sure it is a Copper Leaf home. Thanks to the entire Copper Leaf team.

The decision to work with Copper Leaf Development was the best one we could ever have made. We cannot recommend Cooper Leaf highly enough. We had a broad vision of what we wanted for our new home, and Copper Leaf transformed that into a unique design, an expertly constructed home with attention to detail beyond what we could imagine. Copper Leaf did so with professionalism and a consistent commitment to superior service. David guided us through more than what we could have expected. His skill, dedication and passion seem to be a natural draw as the entire team he had building our home were experts, sharing the same commitment to quality craftsmanship and service. From the demo to the placement of the front door knob, we always felt fortunate to have the Cooper Leaf team on our side. We will forever be grateful to Copper Leaf for caring so much for every nook and cranny!

David, Peter, Donna, and the whole team were awesome to work with. The project was completed within a week of a committed date which we find fascinating given the date was agreed 16 months ahead. No slippages. The team was professional, transparent, always in a good mood, and fun to work with. Everything was transparent along the way and the surprises were minimal, despite all the supply chain issues we have all been hearing about over the last 12 months. No black boxes, everything was very clear and pro-actively communicated. And the final home is just stunning. Really enjoyed the whole process and style of interaction from day one through today (months post completion).

We highly recommend Copper Leaf Development to anyone building a new home or doing a home renovation. We worked closely with David from the beginning stages of our new construction. He and his project manager, Pete, listened to all of our requests and were able to successfully incorporate them into the project. We truly appreciated the full service, professional team who worked with us from the beginning stages of the project to the final stages of interior design and decor. Our experience with Copper Leaf Development was exceptional.

I would (and have) enthusiastically recommend Copper Leaf Development to anyone looking to build a top-notch, well-designed and sturdily built new home. David, Peter and Karla are true professionals, they are knowledgeable about their craft, always willing to answer questions, provide suggestions and they follow through on their word. Most importantly, David and his team are honest, good standing people of the community, who genuinely care about the customer's satisfaction and delivering a quality product.  The amount that they care resonates through every aspect of the project, and they make what could be a very stressful experience of building a custom home actually pretty fun.  Even after our move in, David and Peter are super responsive to any requests or questions that we have. I would enthusiastically recommend Copper Leaf to anyone looking to build a new home.  A+!

I have worked with David at Copper Leaf on several projects. As an Interior Design professional, I find David and his crew to be extremely professional, quite insightful, and always willing to  go the extra mile to reach the vision. The quality of workmanship is always flawless with great attention to detail. He delivers on time and on budget. I have enjoyed working with Copper Leaf Development, and look forward to many more projects to come.

I can't give enough stars to David and his team at Copper Leaf. David designed and built our dream home and the quality and design are truly second to none. The longer we live in it, the more we love it, and appreciate all the attention to detail and unity of form and function. But what really sets David apart is our relationship post-purchase.  David is a consummate professional and a true pleasure to work with. Whether it is building a bookcase, or adjusting a window, David is super responsive and brings that laser focus, high design aesthetic and attention to detail to whatever he is doing. David said something when we first met that still resonates with me. He said that he wants to be the type of local home builder who, when he runs into one of his buyers in the grocery store, doesn't have to hide. And indeed he doesn't! I consider him a friend. David and Copper Leaf truly warrant my highest recommendation.

David and his team built us our dream house in 2017! We decided to work with David because of the quality of the homes he has built over years, his collaborative approach and the professional nature of his team. Importantly, David has superb relationships with all of his subs and this enabled him to complete our house on time and within budget (any overages were our elective upgrades). If you work with Copper Leaf, you will find them to be trustworthy and honest. Copper Leaf does not view the job as finished when you move in any little punch list items are attended to with urgency. It may sound trite, but David truly cares about delivering a quality home, and in our case, making dreams come true.

We highly recommend David and his team.  We bought a tiny disaster of a house in our neighborhood in Wellesley and now live in a well-designed, well-built home. We moved in weeks early and on budget! Copper Leaf has a team that works well together which was evident when we had a town hearing to ok the project. David worked with us on our budget and chose finishes within it. We passed the site daily taking the kids to school and got to see the progress up close. We also got to know the different crews Copper Leaf works with as well. David has great painters and landscapers and carpenters and more. They all are nice guys and have attention to detail. Besides that, Peter is a wonderful project manager overseeing the day to day and even some Saturdays!  David and Peter are responsive to texts, calls and emails and great coaches. They never told us what to do but gently steered us in the right direction again and again. We completely enjoyed the entire process. We did get a little lucky not encountering any major snafus, but Copper Leaf made most of the luck for us.

I have worked with David for the past 10 years and would HIGHLY recommend buying a house from him. I have experience working with hundreds of builders in the Boston area and can attest to the quality, honesty, and integrity by which Dave delivers a home.  The attention to detail is exceptional. Most homeowners look for the finishing details in a home for the mark of quality. David excels in this area but is also exceptional in building a quality house for the stuff behind the scenes. The framing, insulation, building envelope, HVAC systems, and every other detail (there are hundreds) have been hand picked by Dave for its quality, value and adherence to some of the toughest building standards out there. I would recommend and buy a home myself built by Copper Leaf development.

Dave built us an incredible custom home in Wellesley Square. The home was highly customized on the interior and exterior.  We worked with Dave and his architect to customize the exterior and the interior. We were invited to be part of the process with each of Dave's subcontractors, although it wasn't required. You have the ability to be as involved or not involved as you choose in a custom home build with Dave's team. Most importantly, the project ran like a well-oiled machine. The subcontractors were all friendly, timely, and reasonably priced. It was clear David had both a working and personal relationship with them. We have never had a home visitor who did not compliment us on the unique quality, design, and craftsmanship of our home. Furthermore, we had full transparency on pricing with monthly copies of all bills and receipts.  We feel very lucky to have worked with someone who we could trust that also delivered an amazing product.
