Class Act!
My wife and I returned to this area during COVID-19 and worked with Michael and his great team at Fidelis Construction to move into our wonderful new home in Franklin County.
I would recommend this builder to anyone interested in a great home construction experience and working with a wonderful team throughout the process!
Thanks, you’re a Class Act!

Fantastic Builder
I’ve been in many tract home developments. Fidelis Construction truly goes above and beyond. Quality construction is what you’ll get if you purchase one of these homes. Wish they were closer to Raleigh. I’d have many buyers.
As a Realtor I get
As a Realtor I get to work with many builders, and working with Fidelis Construction was a very positive experience. Michael from the start was always available and provided great communication. You could tell that he truly wanted to make sure that the buyer was happy and that things were done right. We all felt that he and Fidelis were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend this company to future clients.
Very impressed…Outstanding quality!
My wife and I recently purchased our new home in the new Highcroft subdivision. I come from a construction background and have built many single family homes myself. I must say that we were blown away by the attention to detail and the quality of this home!!
We highly recommend Fidelis Construction and can’t wait to show off our new home to our friends and family…Outstanding Job!!!!
Integrity and Caring
In this world today there are all kinds of promises being made with very few being upheld. There is also plenty of self-interest and lack of caring for others After buying a home built by Michael Shriver, our hope of finding honest, caring and truthful people was lifted up. Thank you Michael. Not only do you build a fine home, more importantly you help build a better place to live in.
Pleasantly surprised by some after sales service
I recently moved house, purchasing a unit that had been built by Fidelis Construction. My home inspector actually commented that this was one of the best-built houses he’d seen in quite a long time. Anyway I decided to install a video doorbell but didn’t realise it’s power draw exceeded the design of the existing doorbell power supply. I looked in the attic and upstairs mechanical room as well as the garage breaker panel but couldn’t find the transformer. So I decided to call Fidelis and leave a voicemail asking where the unit might be. To my surprise I received a call back from Michael himself. He quickly told me where to find the unit in my crawlspace, and I was able to get in there and locate it right away. I think this small attention to detail and responsiveness to someone other than the original purchaser is increasingly unusual these days. It’s small things like that which would sway my opinion on which builder I’d choose.
Committed to Quality
I’d like to compliment you on the quality and value of the home that I recently purchased in Huntsburg. This is the third new home that I have owned, and it is by far the most ‘bang-for-the-buck’ of the three. The floor plan is well thought out, and details such as the hardwood floors, upgraded moldings and attention to detail in general are things one would expect in a home priced considerably higher.
What impressed me the most is that when I came to walk through the home for the first time, you were taking care of some finishing details personally. It is that commitment to the quality of your product and satisfaction of your customer that seems too rare these days.
I would not hesitate to recommend your homes to any potential buyer, and wish you continued success Michael!!
More than Satisfied
I purchased my new home in Winston Ridge from Fidelis Custom Homes. I had watched this house as it was being built. As I watched, it was very apparent to me that Fidelis took more pride in their construction than many of the others in the neighborhood. What impressed me even more than the craftsmanship, was the little “extra” touches that gave the home such a personality. You could just see someone was paying attention to the details. When it came time to make my purchase, Mike was very down to earth and considerate.
Having lived in the my home for over a year now, I have not had any issues with it. I had few questions since I moved in, Mike willingly returned my calls and was helpful in answering my questions. I would not hesitate to purchase my next home from him. If you’re looking for a quality built home Fidelis is the way to go!!
We love our Fidelis Home!
In January 2018, my wife and I were looking for a nice home in the Youngsville area. We were driving through the Winston Ridge subdivision and went into an open house there. We were blown away by the quality of the construction of this home. There were so many upgrades compared to other homes that we looked at.
We ended up purchasing this home and moving in fairly quickly. There were a few minor details that needed to be addressed and the builder, Michael Schriver was quick to respond and address them! Schriver also has checked back in with us from time to time to ensure everything is good with our home.
We love our Fidelis Home!
Moving here was the right choice for me
what a wonderful home. I moved into this house in March 2018. I had been looking for a house for over a year..i entered thi s home and knew it was mine…it’s well made with special attention paid to finishing touches and details like crown molding in the kitchen and diningroom…any questions or concerns that i may have i just text mr Schriver and he always gets back right away. Moving here was the right choice for me.
Throughout the construction, things were well organized
We bought our home from Fidelis in January 2018 just as the foundation had been poured. Mike was excellent in helping us through the process of selecting options and finishes as well as customizing the layout/construction features. Throughout the construction, things were well organized, well documented and on schedule. At the end, Mike personally insured that all issues were resolved to both his and our satisfaction. As the name of the company says, he was as faithful to his word.
We love our home and property
Kris and I were looking for a home in a nice quiet area that would allow me to have a wood shop. We met Michael at one of his homes and discussed or wants. He was very polite and showed us several of his homes and blueprints of others. After several meetings we came together on some ideas. We picked out a lot and the plan started to come together. Five months later we moved in. We are delighted with our new home and several of the suggestions that Michael provided. He was with us every step of the way and was always willing to help where ever he could. After we moved in, he was still working with us to make sure everything was the way we wanted. He never had a problem in coming out to show us how to work something or make some minor adjustment. We love our home and property and really appreciate all the effort and time Michael spent with us to make sure everything was right.
If your in the market for a new home…
In 2016 we were looking to downsize. We sold our beautiful 3600 SQ.FT home in North Raleigh and started the process of house hunting. This is our seventh move and being in our mid seventys a little bit more challenging. Our requirements were simple. Smaller house, smaller lot, master on first floor and place with a warm and loving neighborhhod.
My lovely bride and real estate agent looked at several resale and new construction houses. When she came across the one she liked, we both looked at it and agreed this was the one. It was a new built by Michael Schriver, Owner of Fidelis Construction. We have always purchased resales in the past. So this was a new experience for us.
There were many aspects of this house that were appealing. The attention to detail, the lay out, the hardwood floors, crown molding, quality of the fixtures, the beautiful kitchen layout(which was a requirement for my wife) and much, much, more. I think the thing that impressed me the most, was the builder himself wanted to meet us before he would sell us the house.
During that process we had a wonderful experience! He was very responsive and very attentive to our concerns and requirements. He went out of his way to make things easier for my wife, prior to us moving in. Michael and his team are the true meaning of professionals.
We are now in our new home for almost 3 months and love every inch of it. Mike and his brother CJ often stop by to say hello and ask how things are going.
If your in the market for a new home, make sure you check out his web site before you purchase…we are glad we did!
Built in the saddle ridge development, and we love our new home
My wife and I recently bought a home that Mike built in the saddle ridge development, and we love our new home. The home looks great, the floor plan is fantastic, and the build quality is wonderful.
Mike was very helpful, honest, and trust-worthy. There was several times during our buying process where Mike’s help, and flexibility, really lowered the difficulty of an already stressful time. If you are looking for a quality builder, who does what he says, is truly concerned that you will love your home, and isn’t just looking to turn over another house and move on, then you want to talk with Mike.
Many builders are more than willing to do the bare minimum and move on. Mikes homes have so many small touches that add up to a large difference. Whether your looking at the feature ceilings, crown molding through out, or just simply the great flow of the floor plan, Mike has obviously thought it all through. After walking our home the first time, it was obvious to me that the building was as much a piece of art, as it was a structure. Attention to detail is always key, and Fidelis homes have this.
Thanks again Mike for all the help, and for what I expect will be years of comfort in our new Home. Moving isn’t easy, but the end result has been well worth the investment.
Great experience
We purchased a home built by Michael, which was finished in June 2015. For comparison, we looked at almost 30 other homes in the area, a large portion of them new, and our minds wouldn’t stop wandering back to the one Michael built. There is a certain attention to detail and craftsmanship to his approach that results in a finished product which is greater than the sum of its parts. It feels a lot like we’ve bought a vacation home. As for working with Michael himself, it’s been a great experience. He’s been very responsive, approachable, and professional in handling matters prior to, during, and after the sale. We feel confident that Michael stands behind his products and wants nothing less than complete satisfaction from his customers.
It couldn’t be more perfect for us
We purchased our house 6/30/15. Michael Schriver had already built the house, but it couldn’t be more perfect for us. The workmanship and details are exceptional, and we particularly love the millwork throughout. Before, during, and since closing, Michael has been approachable, professional, and timely with information and minor repairs. Thank you Michael for making our buying experience painless, but more importantly for building our forever home.
Easy to talk to and a man of his word.
Michael Schriver, Owner of Fidelis Construction, Inc. built our home in 2013. Our experience was positive from the very beginning because customer satisfaction is obviously important to Michael. He is easy to talk to and a man of his word.
We knew the “ground rules” associated with costs, time lines, and communication expectations from our first meeting. Michael kept us updated on all aspect of the build throughout the process. He was open to input and change plans as the build was in progress and we identified the items.
On the house itself, we gave Michael a custom floor plan that he had his engineer draw in to blueprints with all the structural details. He listened to and heard what was important to us. As a result Michael was able to execute this drawing into a beautiful, comfortable home that we love.
Our new home’s heating and cooling costs are significantly lower than our last home even though it has 60% more cubic feet and 12 more windows. Michael made this possible through the equipment and materials used. We have a combination electric heat pump/propane heater. This helped us avoid using emergency electric heating during times of sever temperature drops. We have argon gas windows, R19 insulation, and tech shield covering under the roof.
The workmanship in the foundation, framing, roofing, and cement work are outstanding. We hired an independent structural engineer to inspect our home after its completion. He not only said it was a very well built home but Michael had gone beyond building requirements in some areas of the home increasing the structural strength.
Michael gives attention to detail. We gave him a photograph of a fire place mantel and surround that we liked and he duplicated it. He had used 2 x 6 framing so our window sills are deep and beautiful. When preparing to order the front door he noticed a difference in a photograph from our last home and he checked if the new planned door was to our taste. When preparing to order the roofing material he found a wonderful sale opportunity of 50 year roofing material on sale for little more than the 30 year material cost. We selected the 50 year material and he passed the total savings on to us when placing the order. We wanted a screened in back porch with a cathedral ceiling and cement flooring and he executed that from verbal descriptions and
photographs.
All this was done on a very cost effective budget. We had seriously looked at 2 other builder options and Michael’s price was the most competitive and his detail to our needs was superior to the others.
We now live in a beautiful, light filled house that we hope will be a generational home. We highly recommend Michael Schriver and Fidelis Construction to anyone wanting to build a home from the ground up. We are sure you will have the same experience that we did…A great one!
Sincerely, William and Sandra Woodland
He even threw in some surprises we had never could have thought of
When my wife and I moved to the Raleigh area for work, we didn’t want just another McMansion. We wanted a lifestyle and the house of your dreams. Our realtor told us there are two people who can build you your house and one who can do it on budget. Naturally we went with Michael and never regretted it.
Michael met with us several times just to understand our vision. He took the time to get to know us so he could build our home. His attention to detail, quality of work, and service with a smile far exceeded our expectations. He even interacted with our daughter and took her into consideration when brainstorming and designing.
By the end of the process we trusted Michael to make final decisions about lights, fixtures, and finishes. He even threw in some surprises we had never could have thought of. We knew he understood our vision. Turns out, he understood it even better than we did and he never let us down while still keeping us on budget.
Needless to say, we now live in our dream home, built by Fidelis construction.
Extremely satisfied with our Fidelis custom built home
We have been extremely satisfied with our Fidelis custom built home for more than 10 years and we would strongly recommend Michael and his team at Fidelis Construction, Inc. to anyone thinking of building a custom home.
We would like to take this opportunity to commend Michael and his team for their outstanding work performance, personal integrity, character and good attitude during the building of our retirement home. Although we have never built a home before, we have heard plenty of the horror stories from friends who have. We can honestly say we did not experience any of the types of problems we have heard about or had been warned about. We did, however, experience a very good working relationship with Michael and his team from the very beginning!
Michael is a very organized individual who is able to stay on task and expects that from his team. He also has the ability to deal with home buyers and their special requests and anxiety during the building process. We have found it extremely helpful to keep in touch with him via email to review change orders, etc. prior to our frequent meetings at our home site so we will be on the “same page” so to speak, and be kept current without tying up a lot of his time and ours.
We reviewed other builders in the area and found Fidelis Construction’s building practices to be far superior from the materials to their craftsmanship. We also realized that they did not just build a house to Building Code requirement, but often times far exceeded Building Code.
Michael had a saying… “Don’t wish you had, be glad you did” when we were building our home. I still remember that saying and we sure are GLAD WE DID!
We LOVE our home
We bought our home in 2009 from Michael and Fidelis Construction. I cannot tell you how many times we have told ourselves how much we LOVE our home. Even 5 years after the purchase, Michael still stops in from time to time just see how we are doing. It doesn’t get much better than that!!
The quality and energy efficiency is amazing
My wife and I bought our home in October 2013. We love our house. The quality and energy efficiency is amazing. Mr. Schriver is such a nice and caring person who not only builds a great house, but he is awesome about checking on us after the purchase.
After sales support is excellent
We bought our house from Mike in Jan 2014 and didn’t move in until June. During this period a wind storm and fallen trees damaged a portion of our house. Being 800 miles away made coordinating potential repairs extremely difficult..but Mike and Winston Ridge Development Management quickly pitched in and safely corrected the situation. We are deeply grateful to the community for their proactive spirit in welcoming new comers. After sales support is excellent.
Our home was even finished ahead of schedule
In February of 2014 my husband and I met with Michael to negotiate building plans and the price of a new home. It was very important to us that the price agreed upon was final, even if the price of materials or labor went up. We were also looking for a builder that we felt would be honest and forthcoming and after meeting Michael we felt he had these qualities. So, we began the process of building our first home. We’d heard many horror stories from friends about their experiences with building a home vs. buying one and this gave us pause, however everything was done as agreed and we have been very happy with the outcome!
This has been a great experience for my husband and I to share with our children. We were able to view the construction of our home at every step, from the foundation to the last finishing touches. Our home was even finished ahead of schedule which has made our experience that much better because we had been anxiously waiting to move in this home since the dream of it first became a reality.
My family and I are glad we put our trust in Michael and made the leap into building our first home.
