Featured Reviews for Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals

Paragon Building Group
Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals
“Our journey began with a simple desire to extend our living space. But it ended with the home of our dreams. We asked Josh and his Paragon Building Group to find more living space and but they did much more. Our previous home could not be expanded as we had hoped but Josh had found a lot and a perfect house plan to build. Once we approved the lot and plans our amazing home took shape. From the very beginning Josh and his team were responsive to any issues we had. We were welcomed on site and kept informed by enthusiastic team members. Any questions or requests were incorporated and it was apparent that this was their very favorite house plan. Lindy, our designer, was able to capture our vision and worked tirelessly to locate and obtain fixtures that met our desires and still maintained the character of the home. David, our Project Manager, stayed on top of every detail and insured we were knew what was happening and why. Josh proved to be a stickler for detail that served us well. He also only used name brand fixtures with an eye for energy efficiency and low maintenance. We now have a home suited to our current lifestyle but also suitable as the years pass and our needs change. We could not recommend the Paragon Building Group higher!”

Sophie Piesse Architect, PA
Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals
“A main concern with renovating our midcentury modernist home was to maintain the integrity of the home originally designed by the locally renowned architect, James Webb. We definitely got more than be hoped for working with Sophie Piesse. Pictures of both the before and the after renovation exist on two websites: http://www.SophiePiesse.com and http://www.trianglemodernisthouses.com.”

Grant Bizios Architecture
Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals
“My sister and I hired Georgia Bizios to design one home for the two of us at the coast. The covenants would not allow us to build a duplex, so we needed a home with common areas but that also provided us with private spaces and some separation. Working with Georgia on our home was such a positive experience, both the process and the final result. Georgia asked us to fill out a questionnaire so she could learn who we are, how we live our lives, and what we needed and wanted in a house. Her questions made us think about things we never would have considered or known to ask ourselves. She encouraged us to take our time and not rush this part of the process, and she was right. Her process really helped us figure out what we wanted. When Georgia presented her initial designs to us it was obvious that she had thoroughly studied our responses. She "nailed" it so well initially, that although she was open to changes, we had very few. Georgia captured the feel of the house that we were looking for. As we requested, she brought the outside in, and beautifully framed the gorgeous views our lot provided. Our home functions very well for us and how we live our lives. She had great suggestions and ideas. Another thing we like about her is she likes to use stock materials in creative ways. Our home is stunning. We get compliments on it all the time. Best of all, we love it, and love spending time there. It fits who we are. I highly recommend Georgia and her firm. They are top notch. She is a wonderful designer, with a great personality, and easy to work with. If you hire her and her firm, you will be pleased with your results.”

Homescapes Builders

“Shane Ogilvie is a visionary problem-solver who is fair, transparent, and reliable. Not sure what more you can ask from a builder. Shane and I worked together to remodel a 1965 ranch in North Raleigh. Shane's ideas for the renovation exceeded my expectations. He took four small rooms in the front of the house and created one open contemporary living space. He brought in a 35-foot beam and vaulted the ceiling. In the back of the house, he combined two of the four bedrooms and created a master bedroom suite with a luxurious bathroom and a large walk-in closet. Everyone that walks into my house says, "wow"! Shane also did a great job of keeping me within my budget. How many builders do that? We came across some snags along the way due to COVID. Shane sourced multiple vendors and kept the renovation on schedule. Shane has built and renovated many homes in my north Raleigh neighborhood of Fairfax Hills. He is single-handedly beautifying the community while increasing property values.”

ETIN Design PLLC
Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals
“I asked ETIN Design to completely re-do our home office and Bozhena Etin exceeded my (already high) expectations! She carefully listened to our functional needs, incorporated our aesthetic tastes, and designed an incredibly beautiful and elegant workspace. It is a joy to be in the office all day. I was impressed with her meticulous attention to detail, her professionalism, and her rapid response to our questions. If it were possible to award 6 stars, I would.”

Neuhoff Custom Builders
Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals
“Ken recently completed a project for us that consisted of adding a covered back porch, a mudroom/laundry room, complete kitchen update and reconfiguring some current living space. We have been beyond pleased with Ken's work, and have fallen back in love with our home! From your first meeting with Ken, you can recognize he will be a fair and honest partner with the work ahead. He helped us prioritize our needs, as our plan was very fluid to start, and his subs were completely professional and courteous throughout the project. Ken was available when we needed him, responsive and a delight to work with. He stayed on budget and on time, We have recommended him to every one we know who is looking to renovate or add-on to their home. I wish you could hear the comments from friends and family who visit and see the work from Ken and his team - that would be the ultimate testimonial!”

Eric S. Perry Design & Build, Inc.

“Eric Perry is working with us to design and build our modern home. He and his team have made the process enjoyable. His design suggestions have reduced cost significantly while maintaining the spirit of our vision. Eric has hired subcontractors that are professional and he has kept the process moving seamlessly. Eric's wife, Violet, also provides advice on design and color questions and is a valuable resource. We have worked with other builders in the past and none of our prior experiences have been as pleasant and productive.”

Hutch Johnson WHJ Design
Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals
“Having worked with Hutch for the past twenty plus years on many different projects, I have nothing but the highest recommendation for his work and commitment to each and every job. The scope of the projects we have worked on has varied from large home construction to multi-family neighborhoods to major renovations of existing homes. In every case, from the initial planning stage to the completion of the project, Hutch is always conscious of the client’s needs, balancing the design requirements with a continuing eye on cost and timeliness of the project. His knowledge of design and construction practices makes the building process enjoyable for both client and contractor!”

White Oak Custom Builders
Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals
“White Oak Custom Builders (Justin Hartman) was the contractor for a very extensive remodeling project of my house in 2013. The scope of the remodeling involved window replacement (22 windows and 6 patio doors and all new interior doors), interior wall and flooring system replacement, three decks, a new roof structure (approximately 2400 sq. ft.) and all new interior trim for what became a three level house, originally built in 1950. While major remodeling is inherently stressful for almost any homeowner, Justin’s services as a contractor were invaluable, and I am extremely pleased with the final result. Specifically, I would give Justin top marks in the following areas:
1. Quality of work performed. The quality of work done was consistently top notch. Justin knowledgeable, skilled, and competent and is conscientious about following project specifications, and his work product rarely needs improvement or revision.
2. Project management and coordination. Justin’s prior experience working in construction really paid off. He was knowledgeable about all aspects of our project, and was able to plan, coordinate and manage the activities of different work crews effectively. He remained closely involved in overseeing the project from start to finish. His excellent attention to detail, strong organizational skills and commitment to follow-through are assets which enabled him to juggle the extensive details involved in our project without missing a beat. Justin’s familiarity with building codes also facilitated a smooth and hassle-free process when it came to building permits and inspection.
3. Integrity and professionalism. Throughout the project, I was impressed with Justin’s commitment to generating a top quality product, rather than maximizing his profit margin. When situations arose where extra work needed to be done (because of hidden problems that were not apparent until work on the house had commenced), Justin either (if it was relatively minor) took care of it, or (if it was more extensive) involved me in an informed decision making.
4. Effective communication. Justin kept me closely informed of work crew schedules, delivery dates, and projected completion dates of different phases of our project. His communication (whether by cell phone or email) was always clear, informative, and helpful. He was either available on his cell phone, or returned my phone call within 2-3 hours. We never had a single miscommunication throughout the project.
5. Flexibility and effectiveness in dealing with unexpected developments. When unforeseen problems surfaced (e.g., termite damage in a wall, structural problems with the existing floor and roof system), Justin worked diligently with me to identify a solution that was acceptable to me. He utilized resources effectively (e.g., recommending the services of a structural engineer in a limited fashion) and creatively to make changes necessary for implementing required solutions.
6. Sensitivity to worksite appearance and neighbor relations. Our project required huge dumpsters and a portable toilet (for the work crew), and there was very limited parking. Justin’s placement of the dumpster, portable toilet, and construction materials was based not solely on function and convenience, but showed a consideration for the aesthetics of the worksite. The work crew parked their vehicles in ways that were minimally disruptive to the neighborhood traffic, and their conduct never caused any discomfort to our neighbors. In the period of this project, there was not one single neighbor complaint! Instead, three different neighbors passed on compliments about the work.
In closing, I am very pleased with the final product which Justin was instrumental in delivering, and I am extremely impressed with his work as a contractor. In a world where shoddy workmanship and poor service are unfortunately all too common, Justin is indeed a rare find. I would not hesitate to hire Justin again, or to recommend him to my friends and neighbors.
I recommend White Oak Custom Builders to you most enthusiastically, and without any reservations.”

Trinity Design/Build
Durham, NC Custom Home Professionals
“I had a wonderful experience working with Trinity Design. We purchased our home after they remodeled the home and we are going on over a year now and have been quite happy with the work they did through out the home. Recently my wife and I noticed our porch had water damage on one side and their group was quick, professional and an ease to work with.
Highly recommend them.”
