“White Oak Custom Builders (Justin Hartman) was the contractor for a very extensive remodeling project of my house in 2013. The scope of the remodeling involved window replacement (22 windows and 6 patio doors and all new interior doors), interior wall and flooring system replacement, three decks, a new roof structure (approximately 2400 sq. ft.) and all new interior trim for what became a three level house, originally built in 1950. While major remodeling is inherently stressful for almost any homeowner, Justin’s services as a contractor were invaluable, and I am extremely pleased with the final result. Specifically, I would give Justin top marks in the following areas: 1. Quality of work performed. The quality of work done was consistently top notch. Justin knowledgeable, skilled, and competent and is conscientious about following project specifications, and his work product rarely needs improvement or revision. 2. Project management and coordination. Justin’s prior experience working in construction really paid off. He was knowledgeable about all aspects of our project, and was able to plan, coordinate and manage the activities of different work crews effectively. He remained closely involved in overseeing the project from start to finish. His excellent attention to detail, strong organizational skills and commitment to follow-through are assets which enabled him to juggle the extensive details involved in our project without missing a beat. Justin’s familiarity with building codes also facilitated a smooth and hassle-free process when it came to building permits and inspection. 3. Integrity and professionalism. Throughout the project, I was impressed with Justin’s commitment to generating a top quality product, rather than maximizing his profit margin. When situations arose where extra work needed to be done (because of hidden problems that were not apparent until work on the house had commenced), Justin either (if it was relatively minor) took care of it, or (if it was more extensive) involved me in an informed decision making. 4. Effective communication. Justin kept me closely informed of work crew schedules, delivery dates, and projected completion dates of different phases of our project. His communication (whether by cell phone or email) was always clear, informative, and helpful. He was either available on his cell phone, or returned my phone call within 2-3 hours. We never had a single miscommunication throughout the project. 5. Flexibility and effectiveness in dealing with unexpected developments. When unforeseen problems surfaced (e.g., termite damage in a wall, structural problems with the existing floor and roof system), Justin worked diligently with me to identify a solution that was acceptable to me. He utilized resources effectively (e.g., recommending the services of a structural engineer in a limited fashion) and creatively to make changes necessary for implementing required solutions. 6. Sensitivity to worksite appearance and neighbor relations. Our project required huge dumpsters and a portable toilet (for the work crew), and there was very limited parking. Justin’s placement of the dumpster, portable toilet, and construction materials was based not solely on function and convenience, but showed a consideration for the aesthetics of the worksite. The work crew parked their vehicles in ways that were minimally disruptive to the neighborhood traffic, and their conduct never caused any discomfort to our neighbors. In the period of this project, there was not one single neighbor complaint! Instead, three different neighbors passed on compliments about the work. In closing, I am very pleased with the final product which Justin was instrumental in delivering, and I am extremely impressed with his work as a contractor. In a world where shoddy workmanship and poor service are unfortunately all too common, Justin is indeed a rare find. I would not hesitate to hire Justin again, or to recommend him to my friends and neighbors. I recommend White Oak Custom Builders to you most enthusiastically, and without any reservations.”

“AG Homes was an excellent firm to work for. They provided clear directions as to what was expected and necessary details in order to complete the work efficiently and with no delays. If there were any questions they were always very quick to respond and get answers.”

“Trustworthy, outstanding quality and a keen eye to detail. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in building their dream home.”

“Travis and Laura were amazing to work with on the complete construction of our home from foundation to mailbox! They listened carefully and met with us to make our vision a reality on schedule. They personally were available to answer questions throughout the project and after the closing. Highest quality workmanship, advice, and hand-holding. Highly recommend!”

“We have worked with Carol Ann Zinn for over 15 years, executing her designs for projects built by her company, Zinn Design Build and love working with her. Her vision is clear, and her attention to detail is outstanding. Stylistically, she is not wedded to one look, but can run the gamut from traditional to contemporary. We also like working with her field supervisor, who produces a top quality product. Carol Ann is always bringing the latest and cutting edge styles to the table to keep her spaces and designs current and unique. Carol Ann’s designs have a signature and distinct look that you can’t find anywhere else.”

Thank you for everything you did to design and build us our dream home! We love everything you did! After shopping around and meeting with several builders we knew Poythress was the right choice for us! We couldn't be happier! Thank you for making our dreams come true!”

“Shane Ogilvie is a visionary problem-solver who is fair, transparent, and reliable. Not sure what more you can ask from a builder. Shane and I worked together to remodel a 1965 ranch in North Raleigh. Shane's ideas for the renovation exceeded my expectations. He took four small rooms in the front of the house and created one open contemporary living space. He brought in a 35-foot beam and vaulted the ceiling. In the back of the house, he combined two of the four bedrooms and created a master bedroom suite with a luxurious bathroom and a large walk-in closet. Everyone that walks into my house says, "wow"! Shane also did a great job of keeping me within my budget. How many builders do that? We came across some snags along the way due to COVID. Shane sourced multiple vendors and kept the renovation on schedule. Shane has built and renovated many homes in my north Raleigh neighborhood of Fairfax Hills. He is single-handedly beautifying the community while increasing property values.”

“It is our pleasure to write this unsolicited letter of recommendation on behalf of Will Johnson Building Company. We had spent many years discussing our dream home and had even created a rough house plan using a design software package. We had a very specific vision of what we wanted. In a nutshell, we wanted a new “old” house with loads of charm but with all the modern amenities. One that was built utilizing universal design principles which is a nice way to say “aging in place”. It also needed to be as maintenance free as possible. We researched builders very carefully and down selected to 4 that were highly recommended in the area. What caused us to select Will Johnson Building aside from the instant rapport we felt with Will and his son Ben was the total package they brought to this effort. Ben is a remarkable home designer and took our rough renderings and transformed it into a beautiful design. He made many impactful recommendations and suggestions. He was always available throughout the build process to make changes on the fly. His sense of style and symmetry were right in line with what we wanted. He was always mindful of cost and always informed us of the ramifications of different design decisions and options. The benefit of having both the design and construction team together is the constant feedback they gave each other to ensure it would be built economically and eliminate ambiguity. Once the design was completed, Will stepped in to execute the construction. The home is 1.5 stories with 3,800 sq ft on the main floor and 1,700 sq ft on the second floor. The main floor encompassed all the living spaces and bedrooms, while the second floor is intended as an extra apartment or secondary living space. The lot was fairly steep and hilly so there needed to be a lot of skilled engineering to level the pad, put in retaining walls, work drainage and place the house in an optimal position. Will has a wealth of experience and we could tell he was very experienced with handling these challenges. He also had a long list of excellent craftsmen, contractors and construction personnel that he could draw from that have passed the test of time. You could tell they really liked working on Will Johnson projects. On each trip and during each phase of the construction process we were blown away with the high quality of construction and materials. Their attention to detail and wonderful communication ensured there were no mistakes. This was particularly important as we were not local and could not be there every day. It was a great comfort knowing there was someone providing great oversight and direction. They sent us pictures almost daily during periods of great activity which we really appreciated and made us feel part of the process. Any areas of concern were immediately addressed and resolved. Of particular importance to us was the work done by Rebecca Johnson who managed all the design selections both interior and exterior and ensured that these were ordered in a timely manner. She held our hand and helped us navigate the scary world of stones, pavers, shutters, tiles, appliances, cabinets (Wayne rocks), granite, moldings, lighting, trim, paint colors, etc. She quickly grasped our design aesthetic and each trip she would have a variety of items pre-selected for us to review and choose. We trusted her so much, we felt very comfortable leaving many details to her. I wish I could have mentioned all those who worked on our house and had a hand in making it such a beautiful home but I do want to give a shout out to Laurie for always letting us know where we stood financially, Elizabeth in helping with all the finish selections, particularly our day at the tile store, Mike the construction project manager and Juan. We are also very appreciative of the landscape firm (Precision TurfScape) they selected. Mike Leper and his team designed and executed a wonderful plan. This was a huge job with many challenges and we could not be happier with the final product. We love our new “old” house and really enjoyed the building process. It totally surpassed our expectations. It is a testament to the passion, expertise and dedication of all the members of the Will Johnson Building team that gave us such a great home and ensured that the journey towards it was memorable as well.”

“The Contractor was easy to communicate with, reasonably priced, showed up on time and date scheduled. The workers were very professional and had good understanding of their trade. The site was left cleaner than when they arrived. Job was done to a high quality of craftsmanship and looked very nice when complete.”
