Low Quality, Low Integrity, High Pressure to Sign final Contract BEFORE final plans were approved,…read moreHigh Markup. Terrible experience with Brown Haven from the beginning. - I took the final plans to an outside architect before signing off. She showed me that there was a deck that was too small to be usable, too small even to stand on. She showed me the poor quality of trusses used which would make it cheaper to build but also make it impossible to ever use my attic space in the future, she showed me unsightly retaining walls and pillars that were the cheap way to manage water runoff and not industry standard. (Low Quality) - Eventhough my outside architect discovered several critical problems with the plans, Brown Haven wanted me to sign the final contract before these problems were fixed. They told me that this was their process and they "wouldn't change the process for me". Then threatened not to honor the very high land improvement estimate if I didn't sign off on the project before we had agreed on the final plans. (Low Integrity, High Pressure) - Home plans are not professionally designed (obviously). Brown Haven also does not have professionals to help you design the interior (bathroom and kitchen). They suggested that their sales person could design my bathroom! They rushed the design process several times because Brown Haven doesn't care about building the house you want, they just want to start building. (Low Quality) - Refused to participate in site evaluation for the build unless I had purchased the land- this makes no sense. Anyone looking to build is going to want to go through an extensive process of evaluating each potential lot and understanding the land improvement costs for each option. Brown Haven refused. (Low Integrity) - Then, Brown Haven underestimated the site improvement cost for the lot I did buy by over 100K! (Low Integrity) - Added an additional 30K fuel surcharge?? (Low Integrity) - Project manager hit on me for several months. Turns out that he's married. I suggested couples therapy, they seem to be doing better now. (Low Integrity) -Location manager lost interest in the project after stating that he had just built the same floor plan but with fewer additions and mine was going to be "better". I offered to share my home plan with him and encouraged him to build the exact same house for himself, if he wanted. That didn't help. My story: He didn't like a single woman building a "better" house than his! -Low Quality you can feel! I visited several of Brown Haven's build sites that were under construction to get a feel for their work. The homes felt like doll houses with thin walls and cheap materials. I'm not a contractor but the cheap, flimsy construction of these homes was obvious to me. Ultimately, Brown Haven does not care about you or your investment. They want to build the next cheap house at a huge mark up to you and they will pressure you to sign on the dotted line, even if they know there are huge problems with their construction plans.

We had three quotes given, all very similar prices, for a project done in our home. We only went…read morewith this company b/c they assured us there would be no subcontractors and would be held responsible for all work done. This was a lie. They hired three subcontractors to do minor electrical and plumbing work which they did not include in their quote. Second Marc Stewart called to discuss when they would be coming and when I told him he could not come on a certain day, he tried to call back and talk to my husband to get a different answer. Finally, after he was told three times NO, he was rude enough to send an electrician on that day anyway. The final quote, which was never given to us before the project started, ended up being much more than the quote they gave us originally. Several hundred dollars over what they had assured us would be the highest price, and they expected the money as they left without any indication of when that would be. WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER USED!!

I had to give William Jay Turknett, owner of Patriot Renovation at least one because none, or…read morebetter yet NEGATIVE, was not an option. On 03/03/22 I paid him $2,800 for a job that as of 09/22/22 hasn't even been started. I'll be honest (something he has no concept of) I have managed to recoup $700 after many excuses and outright lies from him and his mother, but that still leaves me out $2100 after 6 months with not so much as a stick of lumber in my yard for a job that should have been completed in no more than a couple weeks. Google his name before you hire this company so that you can make a better decision than I did. Had I done some research I'd have discovered that fraud, not construction, is how he makes his living. NEVER PAY UPFRONT! Wait to be sure you're happy with the job.

Jay, took a materials deposit check from me February 21st 2022, for work to be done on my bathroom,…read morehe deposited the check the next day. I couldn't get a hold of him for 2 months. Finally I heard back from him claiming he had been in the hospital and would have my money back to me by Friday. Since then it has been a round of excuses, his phone is on the fritz, someone stole his check book and has been writing bad checks all over town... He has made many promises to come by and pay me. He had originally asked me to PayPal, Venmo or CashApp him. I refused and instead, wrote a materials check. I called the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors - HE IS NOT A LICENSED CONTRACTOR. He has not responded to a text or call since to July 12th 2022. On July 12th he told me he would be sending me 'some' money. I can only assume it would not the be $1500 he STOLE from me.

But…read moresince that time I've gotten to know both he and his incredible partner Abby on both a personal and professional basis and cannot say enough good things about them. They're one of those rare couples who actually walk the talk . . . They practice what they preach in terms of good stewardship to our planet and healthy lifestyles that lead to healthy people who care about the "big picture" things like air quality and fresh fruits and vegetables and nutrition advice for everyone (regardless of their economic position.) If I were preparing to buy a lot and build a house in Asheville North Carolina this would be my absolute first phone call. Do yourself a favor and don't make any final decisions until talking to Jonathan at JL Builders.

Heart to Home (H2H) did an outstanding job on a studs-out guest bathroom remodel (Fall 2023) We…read morehighly recommend them! We were impressed with H2H at every stage of the project and thrilled with the results. They nailed every measure of success. They listened to what we wanted and clearly reflected our priorities and constraints in their proposal, detailed design and estimate. They exemplified professionalism, attention to detail, quality of work, clear communication and delivered on schedule and on budget. The few changes were mostly due to our requests. Any variations from the original plan/estimate were transparently discussed, approved by us, and tracked, so there were no surprises in the final invoice. We did our homework. We got 2 other proposals from well-established companies and 2 independent general contractors, in addition to H2H, before selecting H2H as the best value for the money. Their costs were more in line with our expectations and the owner, Tim Magee, was excellent to work with. He inspired great confidence that they could and would do this right and the project leads and crews delivered as promised!! Based on the stellar results, Heart to Home just started remodeling our primary bathroom!

However Ray was willing to do more than blow insulation in to make sure our home would be warm and efficient! He took out all the old insulation, sealed up all holes and cracks that air would blow through. He installed covers over the light and installed baffles to keep the house regulated and not sweating! The others were only willing to blow on top of the pre existing old insulation! Ray was in and out in a few days! I trusted him enough to leave him a key to the house if he needed anything. I was glad to give the business to a veteran as well as Ray! I will be using Ray and One Shot Contracting for projects in the future! I wouldn't recommend anyone else!
