To all future home owners looking for a builder, I would like to tell you of my experiences using Carolina Diversified Builders.
My husband and I built a home and garage with Carolina Diversified Builders. We built the garage first and then the house. We built them using 8x8 logs.
I did some homework, I called two previous customers and they gave high recommendations. But I was unable to see what was built and how it was done. We had absolutely no idea what to expect. This was a bit of a leap of faith.
When the first logs came for the garage, we had poured the slab ourselves. It was less than perfect. Daren and his crew rectified all our imperfections and got the first course down. We did not make it easy for them.
Watching the walls go up was just amazing. The quality of work was just amazing. And this was just our garage! Daren built us beautiful garage doors. They are massive! Each one weighs about 300 lbs. We love them.
After the garage was done we sat down with Daren and designed the future house. There were a couple of re-draws with the architect. We finally were ready for the house to be built. Once again our sensational crew came to make our dreams happen.
Our old home was on the market and just as the garage was finished the house sold. We lived in the garage as the house was being built. It was a nice experience to be involved in the entire construction, from beginning to end.
I cannot speak more highly of Daren, Joe, James and Philip (Chief). They work like a well-oiled machine.
Daren and James climb around hoisting the massive logs as if they weighed nothing. Joe and Philip keep them organized. They always have the next logs ready to go. James will call out measurements, Chief makes the cuts and NEVER makes a bad cut. Joe is a master with tiling and makes great suggestions. They work really hard all day, non-stop. They want to make it perfect.
As the house continued to be constructed, Daren and the guys got to know us. They always did things in our best interests. It was a wonderful working relationship. I always felt I could rely on their amazing level of competence. If I asked for a recommendation, they would give great ones. We would usually follow what they would recommend.
For example: We were going to use a local fellow for roofing. Daren, acting in our best interest, said he knew someone who could do it for less money and probably a better job. We took his recommendation. The roofing crew came, and had the roof on in four hours. It was thrilling!
I have learned that building a house is madness. It is like taking your entire life, and throwing it in a blender. When you volunteer to make things so topsy-turvy you need someone who can put the pieces together. Daren and James, Joe and Philip are the best people to trust with putting those pieces together.
Our new house is beautiful. It is everything we hoped it would be and more. I highly recommend using them. I had a most satisfying experience. We LOVED Them. We miss them. It was as good a working relationship you can hope for. The final product is just terrific. We love our log home that was built by Carolina Diversified Builders.
Sincerely, Michelle and David Topper
