There's a Red Door franchise here in Knoxville, TN. I'm not sure how much control the national brand has over different franchises--someone might have a great experience with one franchisee, while another has a nightmare with a different franchisee.

Our experience was a very weird situation; we originally contacted a high end custom home builder, but because we didn't want to do cost plus, he passed us off to his lower end company--a Red Door franchise. They seemed eager to build a custom home for us on our land, but all of their brochures, website, etc. were focused on tract homes with only minor alterations allowed. Their showroom was full of samples; it gave the impression that we'd be allowed to choose from the 6 faucets on display, the 4 roof shingles on display, the 5 countertop samples on display, etc.

It almost seemed like they wanted to build our home as a way to break out of their "tract build" business model? We ended up going with a different builder and an architect to design our home.

Do you mean houses that have a front door painted red?

My bud was a member of a frat called, infamously, "the red door". OMG, how were those parties legal?

I had a house built by Red Door homes of the Carolinas Very poor workmanship. No attention to detail. Still having problems. Run.....fast!

We've moved several times in our lives and Red Home company is the worst. I sincerely hope that the company will be able to fix the issues before one year passes but it is probably a vain hope.

I just moved into my Red Door home and it is absolutely my Dream Home!! First, everyone was so pleasant to work with and I felt as though they were honest with me Secondly, everyday we had an update on what was being done to our home (sheetrock, painting, etc) via the app that they provide and on that app you can send anything back to them and they responded quidkly. Thirdly, we were told our move in date would be August and it's now May 25th and we've been i our home for a month now. Lastly, everything is beautiful and in working order.. the marble is beautiful, the granite, the floors. The ONLY issue we had was the refrigerator that the delivering people delivered and messed it up and my door but that is not on Red Door that is on the delivering people. I love Red Door Homes and we're so glad we went with them instead of someplace else !!

Im happy that your home is to your satifaction, Im interested in building and came across them in my search, but there's differet locations. Which location did you use? I'll be building in Reidsville NC and I guess the company for my location would be the one in Clayton NC.

We used the Greenville, NC location because we're down here in Greenville, I'm in my house now almost 4 months and I'm still thrilled with it, no complaints whatsoever. Looks like Greenville might be a little closer than Clayton?? If you end up using the Greenville location, make sure you see Cory as the house planner and see if you can get Junior Riggs as your builder, they are FANTASTIC!!! If you go with the Clayton location, I hope you have the same luck!! Funny, we just moved from Clayton to Greenville!!
