Tom's expertise in putting our dream home on paper was a delightful experience. He is not satisfied unless his client is satisfied! Embarking on the biggest project of your life you want to feel comfortable and confident...choose Southern Home Design. **★★★★★ — Raynette McFadden, Aug. 2019** > Mr. Lee is awesome. He was prompt, very knowledgeable, courteous, and offered great suggestions. I contacted him at the last minute and he met me same day. I can't say enough good things about him. Would hire him again. **★★★★★ — Eric Chandler, June 2019** > First of all, I would like to thank Southern Home Design for stepping into my life and helping me get the kind of plans I not only wanted, but prayed for. They are absolutely professional and caring. When I didn't know what I wanted Mr. Tom Lee was patient and very understanding. His insight and flexibility gave me a peace and calmness when I was uncertain about what to do. I very much recommend having a talk with him. He doesn't try to just make a sell, but he really listens! **Comment from Southern Home Design, LLC:** > Thank you Eric. It was a pleasure helping you with your project. I look forward to the days to come when your God House comes together, not only only paper like it did for us, but in real life on the property you have been blessed with. **★★★★★ — Paul Powell, May 2019** > It has been 12 months since my wife and I began constructing our new home addition. No small task, the final design more than doubles the square footage of the original house, while adding a new second story.. What is most important, we have maintained the design integrity of the old house - a mid-century Craftsman Bungalow. Our Archetict, Mr. Tom Lee viewed our many design ideas as we discussed our future needs. The process took many weeks to formalize and refine, but ultimately a grand and unique architectural design appeared on paper. This creative process involved lots of revisions, measuring, and photos, as we kept refining our design to make the house more modern. Now a year latter, sheetrock is finally going up, and cubes of brick and stone facia wait to be laid. Nothing in life can prepare you for a year of home construction. Yet if we had to do it again, I would not hesitate calling Southern Home Design Archetict Tom Lee to discuss our building plans. He is a friendly gentleman to work with, very professional and most importantly, has excellent taste in Architecture. **Comment from Southern Home Design, LLC:** > Thanks Paul.......working with you guys was a joy for me and I love how your builder is bringing everything together. I look forward to seeing the "after" pics. Thank you again for your kind words. **★★★★★ — Brian Emmen, March 2019** > My first interaction with Southern Home Design was in March 2017 when I needed plans for a large renovation. My usual architect was booked and needed plans in a hurry. After some google searches and a few recommendations I came across Tom Lee and Southern Home Designs. I can not begin to tell you how lucky I was to find them. As an industry professional for over 20 years I have dealt with designers, architects and engineers hundreds if not thousands of times. Some were good, some were bad and some were just ok, but none can hold a candle to Tom Lee and Southern Home Designs. I have used Tom on several projects since that first meeting in March of 2017. Not only is he is a professional who is always on time, produces excellent work and delivers projects when promised, but he also has decades of experience that allow him to overcome obstacles and make your design visions a reality. Tom also has exceptional knowledge of building codes, as well as traditional and current design trends, but what really makes Tom so exceptional is his personality. Tom is genuinely a very nice person who is honest, down to earth and easy to communicate with. He takes the time to listen to your ideas and really engages with his customers and goes to great lengths to ensure satisfaction. I highly recommend Southern Building Design and Tom Lee for any design project residential or commercial. **Comment from Southern Home Design, LLC:** > Thanks Brian...it was a pleasure to help you with your project. **★★★★★ — Lee Burris, Feb. 2019** > I have worked with Tom on numerous projects for over a decade now and I have found him to be professional, thorough and very accommodating. Toms attention to detail and willingness to see the project thru to the end is unsurpassed. I will continue to work with him for many years to come and I highly recommend Southern Home Designs. **Comment from Southern Home Design, LLC:** > Thanks Lee......it's always a joy to work with you on projects and when I refer you to a client I know they will be well taken care of. **★★★★★ — Budget Blinds of Florence, Feb. 2019** > Tom was very good to work, took his time and planned out our home really well. We meet weekly for more than two months, planning out each inch of our home and Tom was one time, the pricing was fair and the communication was clear. I would recommend for your a new construction. **Comment from Southern Home Design, LLC:** > Thanks Johnny. I enjoyed working with you designing your home. **★★★★★ — HU-327231960, Feb. 2019** > We have worked with Mr. Tom on two separate projects. We knew after the first time we met him that he was someone we could trust to be honest, dependable, articulate, and diligent. He was awesome to work with - thinking of things we would have never considered but were essential to the project. We verbalized our vision to him each time and he delivered more than we could have imagined. If we have projects in the future, Mr. Tom and Southern Home Design will be our only consideration. **Comment from Southern Home Design, LLC:** > Thank you....such a pleasure to work with you guys. I can't believe how your family is growing.....time passes so quickly. ## Selected projects - [Rishmawi Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rishmawi-project-pj-vj~5770380) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Addition/Renovation in North Carolina...under construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/addition-renovation-in-north-carolina-under-construction-pj-vj~5632736) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Rishmawi \#2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rishmawi-2-pj-vj~5861400) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [An addition/renovation project in Florence, S.C.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/an-addition-renovation-project-in-florence-s-c-pj-vj~5636439) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [West Ashley Project....](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-ashley-project-pj-vj~5755583) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: Waters Edge Construction......Joe Smith 843 996-6346.....
