"Preston of G-1 Plumbing performed the services and addressed the toilet & drain problem. He was unable to stop leak(made it worse) & submitted his recs to Choice Home for review. I was unable to understand Choice Home's response regarding the faucet leak. Their review stated faucet needed to be replaced BUT it was under "builder's warranty." I built this home in 2005. There is no "builder's warranty" now. I cancelled the proposed work order & paid out-of-pocket. A Friend, who was familiar with my builder and knows faucet components, came to my home, adjusted/cleaned the faucet cartridge and stopped the leak. The CHW tech, Preston, is conscientiuos, however, IMHO lacked the knowledge & experience to stop my leak. Home Warranty Companies, at least in my area, hire owner/operators who need the work to build their business and are NOT the most experienced/knowledgeable & are willing to work for less money. In my experience, Home Warranty Companies want the CHEAPEST resolution, not the BEST. I would recommend G-1 Plumbing for most plumbing issues."

"From the first contact to the last, Backyard Custom was professional. The whole experience was easy. Due to the recent snow storm, we had to delay the job for three days. I was involved in the construction industry my entire career and I can testify that this was one of the most efficient and well constructed projects I have seen. The showed up at 8am and left just under 8 hours later. Job done!! Quality!!! I can imagine the surprise of many of my neighbors who drove by my house in the morning with an empty spot in my back yard to find driving home a large 16' X 24" Shed. Dustin is very good at what he does."

"The employees were very respectful and were very good at keeping our home protected from Constrution dust and debris. Richard was very knowledgeable when ask questions about how the schedule would work and explained to my wife each and every step that it would take with such an undertaking of this project. He was able to work with her and help with all the selections of cabinet designs as well as picking counter tops and plumbing fixtures. All the subs he brought in were very professional and all phases of our project was done in a timely manor. With times we live in now nobody really wants strangers in their homes. But Starr Services abided by all the restrictions we have and we’re in and out in the time frame we were given. I would recommend anyone interested in a remodel project to give them a call. Thanks mike suggs"

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

Home Building FAQs, answered by experts

A major home building trade-off involves foundation types. Slabs eliminate crawl space moisture but make plumbing repairs difficult. Conversely, traditional crawl spaces offer easy access but demand active moisture management in the humid Douglas climate. Weigh full site clearing against retaining trees. Clearing simplifies construction logistics, but keeping mature trees provides essential shade that significantly reduces cooling demands during long GA summers.

Helpful?

Homeowners frequently underestimate the time required for permit reviews and utility connection lead times. Site preparation for home building requires soil compaction testing and engineered fill, especially on former agricultural lots in Douglas. Account for strict GA energy code requirements, including blower door testing and specific insulation values. Verify flood zone status and local stormwater requirements before finalizing your site plans to prevent unexpected project delays.

Helpful?

The property's history directly dictates your home building methods. Former agricultural lots in Douglas contain compacted soil layers that require modification before construction. Existing pine trees have extensive root systems that undermine shallow footings, dictating your foundation placement. Low-lying lots with high water tables preclude basement construction entirely, requiring elevated crawl spaces. Determine if your GA property sits inside city limits or the unincorporated county to establish your specific zoning requirements.

Helpful?

When evaluating previous home building work, look for moisture damage like soft subfloors or white salt deposits on brick foundations. Check for diagonal wall cracks and doors that stick during humid Douglas summers, indicating clay soil movement. Inspect the attic for dark staining and ensure hurricane straps connect the roof framing to wall plates, as required by GA wind load provisions. Address uninsulated HVAC ductwork to prevent chronic system inefficiency.

Helpful?

Base your inspection routine for home building work on the local seasonal calendar. In late winter, inspect crawl space pier caps for frost heave cracking and check concrete flatwork for surface spalling. During spring, examine vapor barriers and verify that grading directs water away from the foundation. Before the peak Douglas summer heat, inspect attic ventilation. In late summer, check roof fasteners and hurricane straps to prepare for GA storm systems.
