“We have chosen Bold Construction to build our dream house. After interviewing numerous builders we ultimately choose Bold Construction due to their knowledge and vision for our project. After working with them since March 2015 we are so happy with the results, and we are looking forward to moving into our new house soon! Every professional working at Bold Construction has a great attitude, has expertise in their field, and they are so pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend Bold Construction to anyone looking for a beautiful, timely, and on budget project!”

“Layton Wheeler is a pleasure to work with - an artist and masterful craftsman as a good man in a storm. Hardworking and well-prepared, Layton's thoroughness and attention to detail in the face of the multitude of simultaneous tasks that are the contractor's daily regime is nothing short of Zen. I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Layton and his partner Mary, and I would do it again in a heartbeat - in fact I plan to at every available opportunity.”

“DJF Builders is one of the very best builders in the Triangle area - amazing design and best of quality construction. Highly recommend to anyone who is going to build a new home!”

“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.”

“Thank you Poythress Homes for building us our dream home! We loved the entire process from start to finish! Poythress Homes is exceptional and extremely professional! They also have the most wonderful talented trades that work for them! It is so nice to be able to meet your builder personally and work with them to create exactly what you want! 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!”

“We had a wonderful experience with the Grau Building team! Jeff Grau and his colleagues are educated professionals who speak our language. Our project was a true partnership thanks to the proactivity and responsiveness of Jeff and his associates. The online project management tool Grau Building Co uses proved to be an excellent resource for us--we could both login at any time to check on the status of a given task, review timelines, make decisions, look at the budget, ask questions, etc. For 2 busy working parents, the online system kept us organized and on task, which translated into on-time project completion by Jeff and his team. I would absolutely use Grau Building Co again.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Super dependable family owned company. Does top notch work and great to work with. Very professional and is always there to take care of your family's biggest investment. I highly recommend Thornhill and Company LLC for all construction needs.”

“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.”
