Gene S. Aiken, SC Review Dec 30, 2011 5 star rating
Designer Builders, Inc.

This was our first time building a new home. Todd and his team made this an enjoyable and smooth experience, especially as we were able to stay on top of the whole process while living out of state and only visiting every few months. Our home is everything that we hoped it would be.

Designer Builders was the only builder who we felt confident with to build remotely. The staff was extremely professional, responsive, friendly, and helpful. The Builder Trend website is a value added feature that is critical to the success for remote builders. We looked forward to new pictures each week! We appreciate the trust and honesty of Todd's commitments to us and never regretted our decision to build with Designer Builders.

I identified Woodside Plantation as a possible location to live and Designer Builders as my builder of choice, in that development, 2 years prior to my visit to Aiken. After my visit to Woodside Plantation I never questioned my choice of Builder - Todd Gaul is second to none.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Aiken, SC Nov 28, 2011

Overall quality of the home built. Professionalism of Todd Gaul and his entire staff. Quick response to questions and adjustment or corrections made without hesitation. Builder Trend website with photos kept me informed with access to the entire Designer Builder Team.

Designer Builders is one of several builders permitted to build in Cedar Creek. We spoke with many and all are professional and talented - and build very fine houses. Todd showed an extra interest and dedication right from the design phase and we knew he'd be with us through closing and afterwards. I will always feel very lucky to have found Cedar Creek and Designer Builders.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction AIKEN, SC May 17, 2011

Todd ensures all work is done to perfection. And while he involves the highest level professionals he understands that quality must be continually monitored. He works closely with his employees and contractors. Virtually every contractor I spoke with had only the highest compliments for Todd and the Designer Builder Team. Todd also worked closely with me in the initial design of the house - this was the fun part. Toddhas an incredible ability to visualize the finished product and his design ideas were just awesome.

Comment Area For Improvement AIKEN, SC May 17, 2011

This is just a suggestion: during the electical walk thru we planned for cable hook up inside the house. This would also be a good time to involve the cable service to consider wiring needs outside of the house before the driveway and walkways are poured and landscaping and outside lighting is in place. I may have overlooked this step but, it was not part of completing the walkthru and this would have helped me.Unfortunately it was over 3 weeks before the cable, internet and land line were functional (and cell phone service is very poor in the house). There were many delays while the cable service approved the lot for service and completed the wiring. I had to insist that they not run the wires across my lawn or under the driveway and pathways. So if I were to do this again I would make sure that this were address much earlier.

They're on the preferred builder list for our developement and they sent introductory materials to us as soon as we purchased our property. They were the only builder who did this.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Aiken,, SC Feb 19, 2011

Responsive to questions/ problems so things that could have been a major problem were addressed and dealt with before it got to that point and we always came away feeling satisfied with the resolution.

Comment Area For Improvement Aiken,, SC Feb 19, 2011

They did not fall short of expectations in any way. Only suggestion would be to have some sort of checklist for things that are our responsibility so they can be addressed in a timely manner -- e.g. when to contact cable TV provider so burial/ installation can be done before lanscaping goes in, when to contact POA for mailbox, etc.

The entire job was done with great craftsmanship and attention to detail.

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.

It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.
