First, he put me off for 2 months saying he was fully booked. Then he said he was away on vacation and would call back the following week - but he didn't.

Plus, don't have him build deck benches since the boards start warping 6 months after installation. Sam

This experience has completely put me off woodworking entirely.

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.

My advice is to consider alternatives to this company or negotiate better prices. I regret not having done so.

Weeks later, there has been complete radio silence. No call, no email, no follow up. I even called myself to check on the status and was told someone would get back to me that same day. Nobody ever did. It's honestly surprising how little effort was made to follow through with a potential customer who was ready to move forward ASAP. If you're too busy to take on new work, just say that upfront instead of wasting people's time. Very disappointing experience and I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

We needed a quality shed for storage and to house pool pumps, and we needed it built on site due to…read morethe limited access to our fenced in backyard. We also needed the shed to comply with our HOA rules, it needed to match the house and withstand the heavy winds we deal with every year. Due to supply chain issues and increasing costs of supplies we really needed to get a build scheduled ASAP. We scoured the area for a quality shed builder who could not only provide slight customization to suit our very specific needs, but also match the exact dimensions we were seeking in a shed. We found two that were rated the highest within NC, one of them being BAS Buildings. Unfortunately, we were unable to get immediately on the build schedule with BAS so we scheduled a build with their main competitor. We were pleasantly surprised when we were told BAS had an opening and could get us on their build schedule. We immediately cancelled the other build and scheduled with BAS. Working with BAS on the shed design and specs was not only easy, but it was also a very pleasurable experience. This is a family business that treats you like family and trust me when I tell you, they know how to build sheds! They used the highest quality of materials and made shed building look easy. The shed easily passed both inspections and they took care of everything, including overseeing the siding installation, all we had to do was watch. We ended up with the most attractive and highest quality-built shed in the neighborhood. We made some great friends and have a shed that will last a lifetime, I would highly recommend this highly talented family business. Service: Shed installation

He laid out really beautiful plans that were representative of how the finished product looked but honestly, the finished product is even more amazing than we had realized it would be. Jim is experienced and knowledgeable. Jim's team is excellent and very hard working and he and his team are responsive to concerns. As with any project, unexpected things arose, and they all got dealt with. The finished costs were within ten percent of the estimate, which having had several other large projects done on our house, is within what I expect as reasonable, especially in context of providing estimates during times of rising building costs and supply chain delays. He was accurate in timeline of how long project would take and was honest. In terms of the quality of the work... Months later we are still AMAZED at how well it came out. We, at Jim's suggestion to consider, elected EZE breeze windows to make it a 3 season Carolina room that will be usable during pollen season. We spend time out there everyday and eat a lot of meals out there and will for decades to come. Years ago, we got good advice from a contractor who is going to remodel our bathroom. He told us there would be times during the project where we would all be angry with each other, which is normal when you are spending a lot of money to do something to your most important financial investment, which is also where you live. That advice helped us through bathroom renovations. It also helped at the couple of times when I was upset with Jim about things that are pretty typical during a project. We communicated with Jim rather than let things fester and things got handled very smoothly. I would advise anybody was asking to strongly consider using Structurally Speaking to do a deck or porch project and, whether you hire them or someone else, communicate clearly when you have concerns. If you hire Structurally Speaking, Jim will make sure to address your concerns and you will be thrilled with how your project comes out.
