New Vision Builders LLC

Ken and Alisa and their subcontractors did a fantastic job, and for all practical purposes I ended up with a brand new house that I am very proud of. Every aspect of the project went smoothly. Ken and Alisa not only did everything I asked of them (including innovations and upgrades), but they also gave me good guidance and counsel along the way -- the result being a much better house than the "old" one. Ken was on site daily, making sure the subcontractors did everything to his own satisfaction as well as mine. He also made a significant and favorable impact on the negotiations with my insurance company. My advice to anyone reading this: whether you have in mind a new, custom-built house or a remodeling project, putting your trust in New Vision Builders LLC is the way to go! Start by phoning them at 252-241-1010. I chose New Vision Builders LLC from among the three general contractors I considered post-Florence, and I could see from the outset that I made the right choice.

The project took an additional THREE months to complete and we basically managed the project at the end. Thankfully we also hired an interior designer who helped with much of the decision making and coordination. As the weather has warmed up, we noticed that one of the rooms is very, very hot. After repeated calls, text messages and requests to James and Brad, they have failed to address this problem. It's clear that there is not enough insulation from the attic space and dormer windows in this new room. It has been over a month since James let us know that he would address this problem and nothing has been done. Based on their lack of communication and follow up, I would highly recommend not going with this company for your project.

Instead they charged me $200 to give me an estimate noting it to be a "service call". See highlighted invoice with "consultation fee" over 200 dollars! No service was provided and the technician spent just 25 minutes evaluating my set up. I felt taken advantage of on my first meet as estimates should be "free". It took them a month to come back and do the update and I was texted a date for that service with out consideration of my availability that date. I felt a little stuck though because they already had $200 of mine. I really wish they inspected the rest of my system to ensure it was working properly like other companies offered. Don't take my review lightly. I'm trying to help consumers avoid the mistake I made.

Tim's work ethics, professionalism, and craftsmanship are of the highest caliber. He has built many decks and h has decks with unique designs and artistry. Many customers have hired him for additional projects. Tim corrected the problems that you could see. But to correct the framing out of the Trex deck would require the entire deck to be rebuilt. This company Subcontracted workers to build my Trex deck who had never built or were professionally trained on composite decking. The subcontract workers normally were hired to do siding on new construction. I am not sure if I would ever hire this company again for decking or new construction. I will hire Tim Herring in a heartbeat. My previous rating for this company remains the same.

An update. Delaney's finally got back to us with a bid after a month. The bid was fairly reasonable…read moreand the estimator told us we could add and take off any item we wanted. He spent a long time with us and remeasured everything. We added a few items and removed two. One was hanging three fans and two lights, which we were to supply. They wanted $1000 in labor so we decided to do it ourselves. The other item was removing the popcorn ceiling. We decided it did not look bad with it and all the other condos had it still. Unfortunately, even though he said that would be fine, taking it out of the bid did us in. He got back to us and told us the job was not big enough for them to do. As well it was too far to drive the 45 minutes to us. So now we are contracting the flooring of the entire condo to a flooring store, the painting to a painter, the bathroom remodel we will get someone else hopefully and we still need someone to replace the windows. It is a shame that it did not work out. It is harder for us because we live 3 hours away currently and meeting with all of these people take a lot of trips. We are finding many contractors do not want a job that is not huge, 50k and up range. And there is plenty of work for them right now. We have had a slew of folk never call us back. That may come back to haunt them when times get a little tougher. Oh well

I requested custom rolling shelves to be installed in my master bathroom and a spot on the wall to be painted over where it chipped. I was informed that it would be doable to be completed by 23 November 2024. It was understood that I paid half the estimate upfront to deposit and then pay the remainder when the work is complete. So I paid half upfront to deposit; amount was $1,860.00. On the planned completion date, I received a text message that there is a family emergency and they requested if the completion date can be pushed back to 24 November 2024. I said to that the new date is fine. And then the family emergency is extended, and extended, and extended thru Friday, 6 December 2024 and then thru Saturday, 7 December 2024. We agreed that the work will be completed firmly by no later than Sunday, 8 December 2024. By this point I have been more than reasonable and accommodating to the life situation that they are going Through. On 10 December 2024, and I verified that there has been no work done at all on the shelves or the painting job. I called, texted, and emailed the team with no response. I had discovered the nature of the emergency; so of course it's a traumatic experience. Also, at the same time, I am working in a tight budget. I cannot just throw away $1,860.00. By the end of December, the shelves and paint job were take care of by another person. On 15 January 2025, they informed me that they are taking care of the refund; first tried Zelle, then Venmo and did not work, so we agreed on a cashier's check sent to me. The cashier's check was mailed to me on 28 January 2025. And since January 28th 2025, no further updates; complete silence. I send one final message expressing my frustration and anger with the refund process on 17 February 2025; and then two days later on 19 February 2025, they finally reach back out to me ONLY after I initiated the follow up message. They tell me the refund check was mailed back to the office; this information I did not know, so at this point, I am dissatisfied more that they did not reach out back to me to close out the refund process. On 19 February 2025, they confirm with tracking number from UPS that the refund check is mailed to me to my correct mailing address. I received the package from UPS. However, upon opening the check is not in the mailer; there is only a neon green envelope with '1900.00 Refund' written on the outside. I noticed the green envelope was ripped in one corner and the mailer was also ripped in one corner. At this point, I still haven't received the refund. So, we agreed to send the check via USPS instead. We confirmed with tracking number that the check was mailed via USPS on 5 March 2025. On 14 March 2025, I received the mailer. Inside the mailer package, the check was not there. Instead, there was a Customs and Declaration Form and their business card. No refund check. At this point, we have utilized two forms of mailing technique without success. So, understandably, I asked them to provide the refund electronically either via Zelle or Venmo. I have no word of whether or when my deposit will be refunded, since that is the honest and professional thing to do. At the end of the day, it is poor customer service.

I give him 2 weeks plus a third ( for holiday reasons and his busy schedule, pretty much benifit of dought) & to get my estimate out to me .He has a excuse each week on why nothing's been sent over ! Look I have had someone recently work on my house called Coco construction and they did a terrible job and scammed me out of 2 grand I have a entire siding and decking that needs another whole replacement. Wilmington home improvement where supposed to have my back and fix what happened he made me feel safe at first . But they have done nothing but play games and give me Excuses! I felt like I have been treated even worse then coco Construstruction treated me . So Can I just please find a truthful and upfront and dedicated company for once! Like Jesus what's so hard about caring for you're customers?! So don't believe the fake reviews they have posted guys . He sucks and on first appearance he looked to me like he was on some drugs even if half the time he did have a few intelligent remarks but just wait till YOU see for yourself if you choose! Overall Not a good pick if you're just a average hardworking person ! He's just trying to make himself look good with all the helping photos from big easy jobs due to the storm for big Businesses and rich people or people that at least live very comfortably! I can understand being busy but there's no excuse for this treatment. I know he has been receiving my messages because we both have iPhones it tells me. So listen people I'm not just a a up tight and ignorant person that's just pissed off , NO! because if he didn't want this job or to help us he should have just said that from the start not beat around the bush, so I can find someone else. I even asked him if he plans on wasting my time and is too busy for this job I will find someone else's I just need to know now... this was after waiting a week and half for a freaking estimate! That let me remind you the estimate wasn't that difficult I'm sure of it and he said he would help me with a statement on how the previous work done was not correct so I did really feel at first he was being a good person . His response to my question was - (Chris) " I would never waste you're time I am sorry" but look how far that got me ! Then every week after was "I'm busy I'm sorry I will get it out to u this evening " but every week & day nothing ! And if that's how he is about a damn estimate I would hate to see how he works ! nobody has time for a LIAR! I hope this review helps whomever is reading , because I strongly suggest you pick someone else, I don't ever post reviews about people but lately people keep screwing me over and this guy knew about that, the website claims to be 24/7 emergency service and they are honest and reliable . None of that is true tho and if it is true then it most certainly didn't include me on that type of treatment after patently waiting for weeks and being very respectful up until today!
