Stroud Custom Homes, Inc

unknown

Everything went well because we did not have any problems. Their price was fair. Everybody was very nice and professional.

The project started on time and progressed as expected. Gilbert Stroud, the owner, was at the job site DAILY overseeing each aspect of the job. Each contractor that he brought in was the best in their field. The workmanship, skills and care taken by each one was quite impressive. What struck me the most was how my home was not treated like a construction site but rather with respect. Each evening when the work was done, each contractor saw to it the site was cleaned and as orderly as possible. Gilbert would call us while the work was in progress with suggestions or enhancement ideas and give us the opportunity to make changes as we went. We are thrilled with the end results. Our curb appeal has been taken to a whole new level. We highly recommend that before you call and "price shop" a project that you call Stroud Custom Homes and "quality shop". The old addage of "you get what you pay for" just doesn't apply here. We got much more than we paid for and couldn't be more pleased. Butch and Vicki Rasmussen New Bern, NC

We are absolutely thrilled with the work of Stroud Custom Homes and would recommend the company to anyone. SCH was suggested to us by the local realtor through whom we purchased our house in 2005. While usually SCH designs and builds new homes (many of which are in New Bern's most desireable neighborhoods) the extent of our remodeling plans made the project a good fit between us and the company. It was crucial that the contractor and subs be absolutely reliable and ethical, since most of the work on this project was conducted while we were not on the premises, but rather, living hundreds of miles away! Stroud Custom Homes exceeded our expectations in regard to communication, quality, scheduling, cost, and attention to detail. We were kept informed of progress and of issues through calls and e-mails which often included photos. An example of an "issue" was the unfortunate surprise discovery of areas of rot underneath the old siding on our house. We were provided with photos of the damage and subsequent repair. SCH also is creative, accommodating our ideas, and offering new ones. They designed and produced a unique "gable ornament" at our request. They diplomatically offered advice on design, such as the selection of paint color, and steered us to established local vendors for materials (i.e., light fixtures and flooring). The subcontractors were efficient, and, during times when we were on the scene, pleasant and polite. Clean-up following each cycle of work was utterly thorough. We consider ourselves truly fortunate to have worked with Gilbert Stroud and his crew. The results speak for themselves: we've had no subsequent problems and have received many compliments on the beautiful transformation SCH gave to our home, where we now live year round.
