"I have had five homes
built in my life time and this was the best experience I
have had with any builder. When I called with questions,
I had answers within an hour. The workmanship was better
than I expected and I had no problems dealing with the
building contractor. Every thing was done on schedule and
I was able to move in on time. I would recommend
Southern Oaks Homes, Inc. to any friend of mine and
would have him build another home if I ever need one. I
really love the home I'm in now and Southern Oaks Homes,
Inc. did an outstanding job."
- Jack A. Thiele

"I can sum up my experience with Southern Oaks Homes,
Inc. in one word - WONDERFUL!! John was very easy and
great to get along with. He is a very hands on builder
and very meticulous and thorough every step of the way.
He was always available to answer all of our questions
(even the dumb ones!) He is also very creative. We had a
general idea about what we wanted our house to look
like, but with his input, it surpassed our wildest
dreams. I can finally say that we have a dream home. I
would highly recommend John to build your home and he
would certainly build mine again (although I hope we
never have to move!)"
"I work for Wachovia Mortgage Company as a Loan
Consultant and do several loans for Southern Oaks Homes,
Inc. plus many other builders in the area, and I can
definitely say John is the best!"

"John would personally come out to ensure that we were
taken care of. This was after the CO was issued. John
gives extraordinary service as far as I'm concerned. My
parents found that they had problems with their smoke
detectors and many other minor issues. Their builder
would not return their calls or send anyone to fix these
problems, even though the home was just built. I can
personally attest to John's commitment to his clients
and the quality of his homes. The level of service he
provides and quality you get is well worth the price,
besides the fact that he is a kind, just, and generous
man."
- Ms. Allanna Lynn

"The working relationship was terrific. John had
suggestions that were positive and incorporated into the
building. The workmanship exceeded my expectations. In
these times it's easy for them to slip by with
something, but I must say I kept my eye on construction
and nothing was pushed through that was not appropriate.
I would recommend this builder to anyone. He had ideas
to enhance the home from the architects blue prints and
I readily accepted his suggestions. It made our home
much nicer. If I ever would build again I would contact
him first. His estimates were in line with other
builders and I think he went the extra mile to make the
home special."
"I can only say good things about Southern Oaks Homes. I
still contact them from time to time to answer a
question I might have. Our home is now 2½ years old and
we are still extremely happy with our home. I think the
honesty in the business is their best attribute."

John was very good about calling back the same day or within a
day to answer any questions or concerns we had. We had a very
good relationship with John. We liked him as a builder and as a
person. He was always on the site, making sure that everything
was going as it should. We are very pleased with the workmanship
and love our home. We received many compliments on it and feel
that the quality of workmanship was exceptional. The
construction schedule was pretty much on time. Any delays were
for acceptable reasons.
We would definitely recommend Southern Oaks
Homes. We feel that they take great pride in their work and do a
great job... When we were about to build a home (our first), we
had heard horror stories about people who had homes built with
other builders before and their builders ripped them off,
provided poor quality homes with no service afterwards. Needless
to say, we were a little reluctant at first to build. But our
friends had their home built by Southern Oaks Homes, so we had
seen the quality firsthand. They too had a very pleasant
experience. We feel fortunate that we chose Southern Oaks
because we truly did have a great experience with them.

Just a quick note to thank Southern Oaks Homes, Mr. John Lapsley
and his team. I am so pleased that we had John build our home;
the workmanship, the quality of materials used and the ideas he
put forth are second to none.
He went above and beyond what was designed
by the architect to insure hurricane resistance. He used all the
newest technology when it came to wind resistance. I feel
confident our home will be standing should we experience a
hurricane.
Our home is absolutely beautiful
thanks to John
and his crew. I would highly recommend Southern Oaks Homes to
anyone interested in building a home or remodeling. His prices
are reasonable, not the least expensive and certainly not the
most expensive. He is honest and above board in all details of
building your home. I feel confident in saying you will get the
most for your dollar with Southern Oaks Homes, Inc.
We also had John do a re-model job on a
rental property that we own. Again, he came through with the
quality workmanship and pride in his work all with-in the
budget. And again we say many thanks to John and his highly
qualified crew.
- Arlene and John Hunsinger

Our relationship with Southern Oaks Homes has been a good
experience. Throughout the project we maintained excellent
communications. John Lapsley has served us well in all phases of
our custom home. We are very pleased

Our family wanted to pause from the crazy and decorating, to
thank you for the outstanding home-building experience we had
the pleasure of sharing with you. As soon as we began telling
people that we were considering building our next home, the
horrible tales of crooked builders, hidden costs, poor planning,
and questionable quality were relayed to us time after time and
we began to grow quite apprehensive of taking on the project.
Now when we tell people we have recently finished building our
home, and they begin with their horror stories, we take great
pleasure in redirecting the conversation with experience after
experience about a caring builder who insightfully planned every
detail, stick by every price quote, and ensured the level of
quality exceeded our every expectation. I love seeing the
disgust and envy on their faces! It is a rare treat that only a
true cynic like myself would enjoy.
Still in our 20’s and this being only the
second home we have owned (the first we built) we approached the
project knowing that this was not to be our final ‘dream home’,
but a simple place that would provide a safe, comfortable
environment to continue growing our family. We affectionately
refer to it as our “second-to-last home” because our hope is to
live here until we can build our dream home in the mountains and
steel away from the city life. In a sense, we approached this as
though we were settling this time around-making do until we
finally ‘arrive’ years later. With your constructive guidance,
our perspective has shifted and we feel as though we’ve been
blessed with nothing less than a smaller version of our dream
home. Your input during the design phase of creative things we
could do to add some spice, simple upgrades that give the home a
more luxurious feeling and the extra mile you went during the
construction phase to ensure every detail exceeded our
expectations have made this home more than we ever expected. It
is truly is a dream come true and we have you to thank for that.
I know we’ve joked about it, but now we’ve
moved in, we actually miss getting our regular updates from you
about what’s happening and what is next. The communication
during construction was absolutely outstanding. I’ve been in
corporate America now for nearly ten years and I can honestly
say that I’ve never partnered with an organization that could
out-do you in this department. Your commitment to communication
eased our anxieties and made us feel like we had a hand in
building this home without actually having to get our hands
dirty! It was great!
Our family is extremely grateful that we
found you and that you took such a personal interest in ensuring
this house would make a great home. Thank you for everything you
have done (and I'm sure will continue). We have appreciated your
friendship, creativity, integrity, and professionalism and would
recommend you without hesitation to anyone.
Please share our heartfelt gratitude with
your family and crew for the hours they invested in our family
as well. We wish you a truly blessed holiday season and look
forward to calling you years down the road when we’re ready to
move to the mountains!
Sincerely,
- The Walden’s
