"He's great; this was the second time that we have used him for home remodeling. He is a pleasure to work with, completed everything on a tight time table and work was done correctly. We will use him again in the future if we have any remodeling needs."

"We spoke with

Raleigh Home Builders Provider Name Locked

(SEB), as well as 3 other builders, when seeking a contractor for our 3-phase renovation project. Although we secured pricing on the overall project as well as phase 1, we were clear that we were only progressing with Phase 1 at the time. (we wanted to assess capabilities and timing before locking in on the overall, complex project). Our priority was to find a contractor who was honest, experienced/skilled, dependable, and willing to be flexible with us in terms of timing so that we could complete the portions of the job that we were taking on. I found SEB to be that and much more. The bottomline is that we were so impressed with both

and

and the work that SEB did in phase 1, that we have already hired them to complete phases 2 & 3. From the first discussions,

was straightforward about schedules and provided specifics about the work he would do personally vs subbing out. He shared details about the skills and history of his subs. He provided very detailed pricing information as well as a detailed description of the work that would be completed in each stage of the project, and the materials that would be needed at each stage (he even itemized the quantity of each type of lumber!). I had time to review this information in detail so we could discuss any questions and ensure we were both clear on expectations and deliverables. The entire contracting process was completely transparent so I knew exactly what I would be getting and the price was very fair. We took the time to visit a home being built by SEB and were very impressed with the quality of the construction as well as the craftsmanship in the finish details (wood trim, tile work, t&g ceiling, material selection, etc). We also learned that

was a graduate of ECU in the Construction Management program and had years of experience in working with a large local firm before venturing out on his own. We booked SEB to do the first phase of our project. During the following 6 weeks, we were impressed with workmanship, attention to detail, and punctuality of the SEB crews. Each person working at our home was considerate as well as skilled. The crews were thorough in cleaning up afterward (which was impt as we were living in the house during the construction!). Once they broke thru the existing walls, they carefully installed temporary walls, complete with insulation, full plastic wrap over the insulation, and taped all the exposed seams so we didn't feel the cold nor waste heat during January.

warned us that there would be some risk of breaking the existing tile as well as ceiling (

& grove cedar) when they cut thru to make the new openings.

meticulously cut thru those areas and did not have one bit of breakage! (important to us as we didn?t have any extra tiles or ceiling boards to replace any broken ones!) Both

and

are creative & highly experienced. Although we had a pretty solid design, they both were able to offer suggestions that enhanced our plan and in some cases, saved us $$. Despite unexpected pipes in a wall and appliance specs that weren?t quite accurate, they were able to guide us thru solutions that allowed us to keep our overall plan intact. But the real statement about the level of customer service and conscientiousness of SEB is this part of the story: The day the french door from leading from our breakfast room to the back porch was installed and the temporary walls were removed, my husband was out of town. There was no hardware in the door but I wasn?t too worried. About 8pm that night, I got a knock on the door; it was

. He remembered that I had mentioned my husband was travelling (I must have mentioned it in passing...I

?t even remember telling him!) and he realized that I would be alone without locks on that door. He came with 2x10, drill and heavy screws and proceeded to board up the door so I would be safe that night. We are so pleased to have found

! SEB is exactly what you want from a construction company and so rarely get: high quality at a fair price; dependability to complete the job as agreed; ongoing communication and responsiveness throughout the process. We have started phase 2 and are experiencing the same quality and service levels as we received in phase 1. We are confident SEB will help us achieve the vision for our "new" home."

"The estimator was on time. I feel the price was fair. The installers showed up on time. Re-did my roof in a day & half just as promised. They lift the yard clean...no nails or debris was lift behind. They have performed different types work for my neighbors & everyone has always been pleased."

N/A

"They had underestimated the job,

kept on top of them and had them make some things and in the case of the inside stains.

and his employee redid the work themselves.

is extremely courteous and responsible. "

"I got

Builders from Angies List. I contacted

and was impressed with him from the onset. He was always responsive. If I couldn't reach him by phone, he promptly returned calls. He was very knowledgeable and had many ideas to deliver what I needed while saving money. He met with me at the proposed tanning salon site several times. He was always good natured and friendly. His bid for the work was very fair. Eventually, problems with the landlord prevented the construction of the salon. Still, he regularly called me to keep updated and to encourage me. Judging from what I know of his work, I know he would have done a stellar job. If I have the opportunity to use

Builders in the future, I'll do so in a heartbeat!"

"Working with

has been a great experience, from planning to building he has been there every step of the way. He has been honest and very helpful with advice and has gone out of his way to hold our hands when needed. His recommendations have always been ways to improve the house, even though most of those things don't result in him making any more money; he just treats us the way people should be treated. He has always been available for questions and when things have needed to get done he has promptly gotten it taken care of and any problems we had were quickly resolved. I have enjoyed working with

and highly recommend him."

"This company started off with a bang! We were very happy with the GC's responsiveness and attention to the work site. The work was on schedule and employees were wonderful. However, as the end

near, the company ended with a big BUST. Scheduled delayed and as problems arose, the GC became less and less responsive and was on site less and less. Details were overlooked. While the bathroom at first glance is nice, when you look at the details, it is clear they were not a priority. For example, the base molding indicates that either the walls are crooked and/or the tile pattern is crooked. The tile job was less than good. We had to hire another tile contractor to fix the problems. The linen closet is slightly larger at the top versus the bottom. When we expressed our displeasure with the tile, we were told there was no other option. We came home after being away for a few days, with work continuing and our entire house was covered in dust from their work, the addition being in the very rear of the house. Overall, I am very disappointed in spending nearly 40K for a bathroom that has so many flaws. I am disappointed in the GC,

for his lack of responsiveness when the project became tough, for the lack of communication with me once I became unhappy and for the lack of follow through on finish details. "

" When we moved to

we bought the house we did with the idea of adding some significant improvements to fit our special likes. After checking out a few different contractors, large and small, we took the advice of a Realtors who praised the work of

. My wife and I cannot say enough good things about

and the extraordinary quality of his work. This man takes great pride in his work and it shows in everything he does. In 45 years of marriage living in several different homes we have never encountered anyone in whom we have more confidence and for whom we have higher regard than

. Not only is he so good at his work, he is a nice person to work with. I had a couple of not so great ideas that he talked me out of and he does not hesitate to suggest solutions you might never think of on your own. The best indication of how pleased we are about having selected

is that after we had done all that we had expected to do but then months later decided on another project we did not bother to inquiry of anyother but

. Neighbors and friends who have seen the work he has done at our home are lavish in their praise. I should add that we have also turned to

for a couple of small projects and he performs them with the same skill and pride of workmanship. People who took our recommendation to choose

for projects they needed done thank us profusely for making them aware of him. The bottom line is that you cannot find better quality and better value for your home remodeling dollar."

"The repairs made to my home by this company were shoddy. When I contacted them with pictures of the work after about 3-4 months the pictures arrived before my message. They immediately offered to give me an ESTIMATE to make repairs. When I explained that the pictures were of repairs they had done within the last 4 months they did not reply. Attempts to contact them since have been unanswered. I can supply pictures of the work they provided. Their itemized statement does not reflect, accurately, the work done. The employee "in charge" frequently left "day help" working alone for several hours at a time. "

"I do not have any problems with this company as of right now, because it is a freshly built home. I had to wait three months for the building permits, but it was not this company's fault. So far everything that they have done has been wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone."
