86. Our Summary of Comments on R. L. Seely Homes, LLC
The 1st Special Adapted Home that was built by this Disabled Veteran Committee on Housing Builder in the Winchester area, and people have remarked how they loved the design, the layout of the home, that it will suit the veteran needs and that they wish they know this builder when they had their home built, so I can say that Rich Seely has the veteran needs at heart in his design and goes the extra mile to make the veteran feel their independence, and thats the goal of the DVCH mission to make the home accessible, affordable and independent for the veteran.
