    Raye Construction LLC
    New & Custom Home Builders in Raleigh
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 24, 2024
    “We contracted with Raye Construction LLC after meeting with several local custom home builders. We were impressed with the owner Kevin Swartz and his ability to capture our vision of the home plan and features we wanted. Raye Construction offered a very completive "turn key price" that was very attractive to us. Kevin was a pleasure to work with and kept us posted on progress and issues the whole way thru. He would quickly address any issues we brought up to our satisfaction. The house was delivered on schedule and within 1% of the contracted price, even with the changes we made along the way. We are very happy with the delivered home and with the work provided by Kevin, Raye Construction, the subK's and vendors involved with delivering our lake front retirement home. John and Cheryl”

    New & Custom Home Builders in Raleigh
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 22, 2015
    “We have chosen Bold Construction to build our dream house. After interviewing numerous builders we ultimately choose Bold Construction due to their knowledge and vision for our project. After working with them since March 2015 we are so happy with the results, and we are looking forward to moving into our new house soon! Every professional working at Bold Construction has a great attitude, has expertise in their field, and they are so pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Bold Construction to anyone looking for a beautiful, timely, and on budget project!”
    White Oak Custom Builders
    New & Custom Home Builders in Raleigh
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 27, 2014
    “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.”

    “I hired Paragon to put a new roof on my house and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. They brought shingle samples to my house and helped me select the best look available within my budget. The work was performed quickly and they were very careful to clean up any debris and leftover material. I will hire them again to redo my master bath.”
    Radford Building Company, LLC.
    New & Custom Home Builders in Raleigh
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 22, 2023
    “We searched for the right builder for three years before we found the Radford Building Co. We interviewed several builders, and considered many options. After our first meeting, we knew we had found our builder. Jason and Kenny made us immediately feel comfortable and confident. They sought to understand not just our building requirements, but also our personalities, our intentions, and our ultimate vision for the build. The team has been upfront and personable throughout the entire process, from site selection and design to making selections, and the actual build. One of the most exciting points of the process was when the foundation went in. The care and precision that went into our foundation assured us that this was going to be a solid build, and this feeling remained throughout the entire process. The team invited our questions and concerns and took our opinions to heart. We felt heard, valued, and cared for. Since we moved in, the Radford Building Co. has continued to partner with us to make sure we are satisfied with our new home and has taken care of any outstanding tasks. We have already been recommending them to friends who are thinking about building. We would partner with the Radford Buiding Co. again, but now that we have such a beautiful and well build home, I don’t think we will ever move!”

    “My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of our builder Neil Jarman and our Design Consultant Joy Jarman! We had an awesome and fun experience building our home. Neil kept the project moving in a timely manner and kept us informed throughout the process. Joy was very helpful with choosing fixtures, colors, etc to fit our style! I could not have done it without her! Neil and Joy both helped make the building process fun and less stressful! I would recommend Jarman Homes to anyone building their next home!

    Layton Wheeler, Inc.
    New & Custom Home Builders in Raleigh
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 27, 2013
    “Layton Wheeler is a pleasure to work with - an artist and masterful craftsman as a good man in a storm. Hardworking and well-prepared, Layton's thoroughness and attention to detail in the face of the multitude of simultaneous tasks that are the contractor's daily regime is nothing short of Zen. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Layton and his partner Mary, and I would do it again in a heartbeat - in fact I plan to at every available opportunity.”
    Raleigh Custom Homes
    New & Custom Home Builders in Raleigh
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 18, 2015
    “Raleigh Custom Homes does a remarkable job! The company is one of the only companies that I know of that has experience across the entire spectrum of residential home building and selling in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. I had them build my dream custom home in North Raleigh, which they were able to meet and exceed all of my expectations. The building process was quick, very detailed, appropriately priced, and they let me use their designer to create a dream come true. However, I found their real value when I needed to sell my old house. Their real estate company was able to assess my current house, give me a list of exactly what needed to be done to get it ready to sell. They gave me access to their network of contractors who were able to paint and fix little things at a bargain price. Then they helped me move some of my clutter out and used their designer furniture to help stage my house. Maybe it was luck, but I had two offers almost as soon as the sign was put out front of the house! Overall, I was very pleased to have such a congruent company help me through this process. Their builders, designers, real estate agents, and contractors know exactly how the process works and saved me time, hassle, and money.”
