Testimonials
In the building of our first custom home, we have found Oxford Fine Homes to be sensitive and responsive to our wishes. Although several adjustments were made at our request during construction, Jonah Mandli was very cooperative and still completed the building in just six months, as planned, despite several weeks delayed start due to weather. After a month of occupancy, we have found the house to be of highest quality and comfort.
While maintaining high standards of construction practice, Jonah also establishes a personal relationship with his clients. He has kept in close contact, encouraged frequent visits to the site and has always been receptive to any concerns, even after closing the contract. This pleasant experience is quite different from reports we have heard on other builders and we highly recommend Jonah Mandli and Oxford Fine Homes.
It is my privilege to write this letter of recommendation for Jonah, as the President for the Homeowners Association for 2010 - 2012. We performed an extensive search for the right person to manage the re-build of our wall circling our neighborhood. Jonah was found to be a very personable man with trustworthy characteristics. He made the most professional presentation which left our committee excited about using him on the project. Our expectations were consistently met by Jonah, and exceeded in many cases. We realized the difficulty of accepting the leadership responsibilities of a rebuild project, but he did, and demonstrated the highest level of leadership job throughout the performance of the job.
I am certain that Jonah Mandli would be able to exceed expectations in any project or assignment he would take on in the future. It is my pleasure to pass on for him my highest recommendation which would be, if I had another need he would be my recommendation to complete that task as well.
In the process of remodeling our condo, we contacted Jonah Mandli of Galaxy Building Services to bid on the complete remodel. Jonah responded promptly, professionally and submitted a very reasonably priced bid compared to other contractors.
Due to budget constraints, we decided to hire someone else who came recommended, hoping that we could save money and finish remodeling within our budget. This was a big mistake on our part. We paid him [the other contractor firm] over 90% of the money and he never finished the job, did not answer the phone calls, left us hanging and his workmanship was terrible. At this juncture, we decided to call Jonah and asked him to stop by, which he promptly did, and we explained to him what had happened.
Jonah understood our plight and immediately put us at ease and decided to help us with whatever money was left over, which was hardly any amount considering the work needed to be done. He scheduled and started the work promptly and regularly stayed in contact with us to ensure all work was being done to our satisfaction. His crew is very pleasant to work with. We know Jonah lost time and money on our job, but interestingly, he demonstrated a desire to help us out at our time of need, took charge and brought a huge piece of mind and comfort.
In closing, we can't thank Jonah enough for his help, his professionalism and his desire to step up to the plate at a time of need. We recommend Jonah and his company, Galaxy, to anyone seeking an honest, dependable and professional contractor.
This letter is to commend Jonah Mandli of Oxford Homes for the new home we recently purchased. Not only is the house beautiful to look at but it is extremely comfortable to live in. Our property backs up to a busy street and in spite of that the house is so well insulated that you can barely hear the traffic.
Jonah is extremely conscientious and a caring homebuilder. Each time we requested any change or improvement he was quick to take care of it. All of his contractors were nice and did an excellent job. All in all it was a pleasant experience buying a home from him.
In my enginerring career for the last 30 years, I have worked with many contractors and engineers on several different projects.
After working with Jonah Mandli of Oxford Fine Homes LLC on working for my Temple building project in 2010, I developed an extra sense of awareness about him; I was personally very impressed with his professional approach towards the project and the keen interest he takes in working on a project which is second to none.
Because of limited funding on projects of this nature, Jonah was very helpful in identifying alternative ways in which the project can be completed within budget and without compromising on the quality and workmanship.
He is very knowledgeable, dedicated and well rounded professional, willing to help and met.
We believe that Oxford Fine Home is a very conscientious, caring builder. Our experience with them was a very pleasant one. Jonah was very pleasant to work with and always listened to our suggestions. We could not have asked for a better person to work with. Our house was finished long before it was scheduled to, due to the fact that Jonah was always on top of all of his crews. Building this house was a very pleasant experience.
Jonah treats his customers as if they are all family members. I highly recommend Oxford Fine Homes.
After purchasing a lot in Southlake, TX, we patiently waited for a builder who would build a home on our fixed budget. No luck till we came across Jonah through a good friend of mine who had known Jonah.
Right off the start we let Jonah know, that we had a limited budget and wanted to build home within this price range. After reviewing our plans, Jonah suggested minor modifications and changes that would enable us to have this home built within the budget. Since we liked Jonah and learned to trust him we agreed to go along with him and signed a contract.
After that, all I saw was Jonah went to work on this home, coordinated with all the sub contractors and completed the home within the time frame we requested due to enrollment criteria of our girls in the school system.
Jonah met with us regularly and kept us informed of the developments. What surprised us most that when we sat down to select the flooring and colors for our home, Jonah mentioned to us that If we wish, he would install the additional tiles on the other floors and select different colors for my 2 girls room without any additional cost to us, even though it was not part of the contract. We accepted this generous offer. He did lot of extra work for us without charging any extra money for it. He indicated that he wanted to share the profit with us which were more than he anticipated.
We respect Jonah very much for his honesty and reliability. He treats every one like a family.
We hired Jonah Mandli and Galaxy Building Services to remodel our master bathroom (tiled shower and tub and tile flooring), and to replace tile in the front entryway and fireplace. Jonah offered to visit us and scope the job at no cost prior to providing a bid. He was very responsive and accommodating and his bid very reasonable compared to other contractors we had contacted.
The crew from Galaxy that performed the work was very professional and the quality of the tile work was exceptional. They handled some unforeseen problems efficiently and the work progressed nicely. Jonah was on site the second day to inspect the work and to assess if we were happy with the quality of the work and progress to date.
We are very happy with the results of this effort and I would definitely recommend Jonah and Galaxy to anyone needing similar remodeling work.
We had custom home built by Oxford Fine Homes in 2002. I work in technical administration for Southwest Med Center and my wife is a school teacher at Arlington School.
Prior to contracting with Jonah Mandli of Oxford Fine Homes, we had gone through 2 builders and had lost $30,000 in the process with these builders. One builder put the foundation in the wrong location and then abandoned the project. Second one semi finished the retaining wall in incorrect part of the lot and left.
Firstly, Jonah with his extensive engineering and construction experience helped rectified the foundation problem at a minimal cost and put us at ease right away.
In building our home, Jonah worked very hard, constantly stayed in touch with us. He built our home within the time he promised despite much rainy weather. We are very happy with the interior finish out and quality of work.

We met Jonah Mandli of Oxford Fine Homes LLC through our realtor, during the second showing of the home.
Jonah went through all the details of the home in a very patient and detailed manner and took his time to answer all the questions we had. He also mentioned that this home is very energy efficient and will reduce the utility bills substantially. We and our other friends heard the same thing from the other builders so we took this with a grain of salt. Since we liked Jonah, the design of the home, quality of work, attention to details, and location we purchased the house.
We were pleasantly impressed and started believing when our utility bills started running substantially lower than our friends with similar and larger size homes.
Unlike other builders, Jonah has been very attentive to our calls and has provided service to us no matter when we called on him and ensured that the things were taken care of in a timely manner.
We consider Jonah to be one of the best knowledgeable builders, who is honest, reliable, has integrity, upon whom you can count on to build you a quality home without cutting corners. A rare find in construction business.
We highly recommend Jonah and Oxford Fine Homes for any construction jobs.
