Carolina Home Design & Construction LLC

David, it is clear that Carolina Home Design is not a good fit for your project. However, I will address your concerns. In our initial meeting, you said you were “pretty firm” at a budget of $30-35,000 just as you said in your review. I did in fact verbally give you a ballpark figure, but it was almost twice that budget amount. Another local contractor, whom you had also called, accompanied me for that initial consultation and agreed that the budget amount would not be sufficient for the job which included a kitchen remodel and a room addition that included a laundry room. Travel time to the job is always a factor, but no matter the job’s location, it still would not have been possible within the budget you provided. In order to get a detailed job quote, there must be a complete plan and detailed job specifications so that materials and time can be accurately figured. Since you did not have a complete plan, it would have taken several hours to do a detailed design, plan, and quote for the job. I felt it was not in either of our best interest to spend those hours/dollars doing a plan and quote for a job that we already knew did not fit into the budget constraints you provided. I did offer, however, to make some calls to other contractors to see if anyone was willing to take on the job at that budget, which I had done but with no luck. An initial consultation with any potential client provides the opportunity for both parties to determine if the job is a good fit in both directions – this time it was not. We regret your decision to air your grievances on social media and the internet. Your review on facebook was removed because it did not reflect the accurate details of our meeting with you. That review, as well as the other reviews you have posted on various sites, was clearly intended to harm our reputation and current client relationships. We have many satisfied clients from Florence and the surrounding counties and continually strive to provide quality products and workmanship at a fair price.
