Collins Design-Build, Inc.

If you’re looking for someone to build you a truly custom home, look no further! Chad Collins from Collins Design build, built our beautiful home. Chad did such an amazing job that we cannot recommend him enough. The entire process was very stress free from day 1. Chad treated our home as his own home and worked tirelessly to give us our dream home. Chad guided us in the right direction every time we hit a road block. He was very honest and loyal throughout the entire process which made our lives so much easier. It is so hard to find someone who truly cares for your home the way you do and is completely honest regarding the progress, finances etc. All of his vendors were wonderful and knowledgeable as well. This entire process has truly been more joyous than stressful. Not many people can say that. If we have to do it all over again, I would pick Chad in a heartbeat.

When we decided to move to North Carolina from Georgia, we knew it was important to work with a trustworthy builder. We could only check on the progress of our home every two to three weeks. Every time we drove to North Carolina, Chad Collins met us at the house and went over every detail of his quality workmanship. He listened to us and made suggestions based on his years of experience. Now that we are living in our new home, we couldn't be happier with everything. I highly recommend Chad Collins. He is a builder that can be trusted and that is hard to find sometimes. We consider him a friend and someone we can call on for any needs in the future.

We hired Chad to build our contemporary home in Hillsborough, NC. Chad went above and beyond to earn our business, from giving us advice on our lot to helping file the initial environmental permit application even before we had formally signed on with him as our builder. Our interactions with him during the construction process were flawless; he was responsive to our inquiries and requirements, and transparent with any challenges that arose along the way. We appreciated his attention to detail, and we learned very quickly to trust him to take care of the minutiae and to involve us in any big decisions. Also key to success is Chad’s long standing network of craftsmen that are not only experienced in working with each other, but also have the same commitment to quality. We would not hesitate to recommend Collins Design-Build to anyone looking to build a custom home.

We recently completed a custom built home with him in October and could not be more pleased! After visiting his website and meeting both he and his wife, we were sold.

We have really enjoyed working with Chad. He has been easy to work with and flexible. We had our basic plans and he made excellent suggestions which we accepted. The work was done professionally, with good craftsmen and excellent quality. The completed work stayed within the budget guidelines. We recommend him without reservation.

We bought our home because of the location and the confidence that Chad could take our vision for the home and make it a reality. His professionalism and attention to detail delivered a final product that exceeded our expectations. Chad works with highly skilled craftsmen who were a pleasure to have in our home. Chad's adherence to the proposed timeline and budget was most impressive to us. We look forward to working with Chad on future projects.

I hired Chad to do remodeling on a very dated 1990s house. This included a bathroom and kitchen remodel, a major attic renovation including building a new staircase, installing a new HVAC system, additional insulation, and extensive rewiring. An addition, other areas were renovated including resurfacing floors, repainting, rewiring, and new low voltage wiring. Chad had an excellent work ethic and helped us to plan for completion within our budget while meeting our most important needs. Chad worked to meet the deadlines even as the scope of the project changed. Chad designed the refitted bathroom and master closet. Chad proactively communicated progress and followed through on issues as they came up. In addition, Chad was always available to answer questions and provide updates by phone. I would definitely work with him again on future projects.

Chad Collins built a custom home for us just outside of Chapel Hill. We moved in March 15, 2015. Chad did a really good job of staying on top of the project. He was always available to us if we had any questions or concerns. If we had any issues with a subcontractor, he addressed the issue promptly and communicated to us about the issue. We have been very satisfied with our home that he built, and we have been able to contact him about any concern or problem since we have closed on the house. We would highly recommend him as a home builder to someone who wanted to build a home in this area. Sandy and Jim Mold

We were told by many folks that building a house was the most difficult thing they had ever done. Not so with Chad! From the beginning he knew exactly what we wanted. He was easy to talk to and stayed in touch often by email, phone, and text messages. Chad's attention to detail kept everyone and everything on tract. The job site was always in pristine condition making it a safe place to work as well as making it easy to see and stay on top of needed supplies. Chad was willing to listen to concerns and make suggestions. If he noticed a problem, he let us know right away and arranged to meet us at the house to work it out. Choosing Chad as our builder was an excellent decision and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Chad recently completed our LEED, Energy Star modernist house. We are extremely pleased with his attention to detail which he employed in the project. He was very helpful, and available at any hour, in explaining and answering questions we had during the building process Chad was enjoyable to work with and has a great demeanor which is an asset if difficult decisions or problems arise during the construction.
