And their prices are good. Update: Kirk called a couple weeks later to follow up. I told him I had a wobble in a ceiling fan I installed that I couldn't cure. Kirk asked for a video and I sent one. Kirk correctly predicted the screw I failed to tighten just by looking at the video. I can't recall receiving better service. 6 stars!

Buyer beware - OHDC of Raleigh willingly sends defective parts, and the home owner has to catch the…read morequality issues. We built in Wexford Reserve. We had several significant quality challenges with OHDC of Raleigh: 1. Wrong garage door ordered, and installed anyway - despite writing exactly what we wanted and included a pic in email.  2.  Defective doors: Both doors had multiple concave areas. We were told by OHDC it was a manufacturer issue and a lot of customers "don't mind it". We're including pictures because it wasn't just one panel. We are at a loss to know how a professional installer can look at those garage doors and think they were acceptable. Additionally, these defective panels were a different color on the interior garage side.  When we asked why they were a different color - response was - "oh that's just dirt, they were probably sitting in the warehouse for a while". 3. Glass: Some of the glass was installed backwards, so the tinting was different. Again, not identified on installation or on later visits. We had to point it out. 4.  Seal: A broken seal, or some type of oil (what we were told) - could be seen between several panes of glass.  Again, it was explained to be a manufacture defect, but they were installed anyway. Again, no one checking for quality issues. 5. Door frame: The garage door opening was built too large, and installers had to use four seal trim pieces on one side, and two on the other side of both doors. However when these four pieces were cut, every single one of them was a different length, and none of them sealed with the concrete. One seal was more than an inch high off the concrete. As a result, large amounts of water flowed into our garage causing staining of the baseboard and sheet rock, damp odor, and possibly mold exposure within the wall. We have a video of water flowing into the garage. They never told us the initial deployment was a temporary fix that was supposed to be corrected later. This was never done until we caught it after heavy rains. Conclusion: We are extremely disappointed none of these problems were identified at time of installation. We had to find the problems, which meant multiple trips to our property to coordinate, as well as potential for damage long term. OHDC has employees that are incompetent, don't care, and think customers are too stupid to catch defects. Pictures we've included tell the nightmare story. Buyer beware.

Yesterday I had two springs replaced on my 18 ft door after one was broken the day. The technician…read morewas capable and professional but the charges was insanely high, $729 for two springs, a few rollers, and 90min of labor. Insanely expensive as compared to prices paid ($200-$300) by colleagues of mine who had similar repairs in the Raleigh area. My advice is to consider alternatives to this company or negotiate better prices. I regret not having done so.

We ordered double ovens from Distinctive Kitchen and Appliance World. Even though the appliances…read morewere back-ordered, Terri kept us informed about when our appliances would arrive . They have a great showroom and are very knowledgeable about what they sell. Our problem was with contractor they hired to install our double ovens. Pro Appliance came to install the ovens while we were at work. They threw away the original double oven that I had sold for $475. We left them a check on the counter for $350 only to come home and find a large gaping hole at the top of the oven. We knew that there was a size difference in the ovens but wanted the hole at the base of the oven so it would be less noticeable. (we would install a filler at the base) When we contacted pro appliance, they wanted another $350 to come back and raise it. They never pulled an electrical permit or had any type of inspection after they wired the ovens. Stay away from Pro Appliance and hire a licensed professional to install your appliance. We had to hire another contractor to fix the poor installation after Pro Appliance refused to come back.
