Past Client Recommendations

The Reserve at Lake Keowee Builder Review

We built our home in South Carolina while still living in Michigan. We selected Golden Corner on recommendations and viewing homes they had built in the area. Ron Tolley did a great job of keeping us informed of daily progress and decisions that had to be made. We have had minor issues that arose well after the one year warranty expired, but Ron took care of them without charging us. We highly recommend using Ron & Golden Corner Construction.

We would recommend Golden Corner Construction (GCC) to anyone that is shopping for a builder. Ron Tolley is a highly ethical builder who builds a top quality home that he stands behind. GCC has proven the worth of his craftsmanship in our community as there are numerous GCC custom homes here. I would use GCC again if we ever built in this area again.

When we started construction last year we were still living in Houston. Each week we looked forward, with great expectations, for the latest pictures that Ron would send showing the progress. Throughout the process the design of the house continued to evolve and Ron was a constant and steadying influence always available to answer any question that we had. He was open to providing us options where we could save some money which gave us the flexibility to upgrade in other areas. The proactive communication that Ron encouraged also led to eliminating issues before they became problems.

We’ve been in our new home for just over 6 months and at times we have to pinch ourselves to believe that it has really happened. We have Ron Tolley and everyone at Golden Corner to thank for building our dream home. Working with Ron and his team was a pleasure from our first visit to the lot in 2009 through occupancy this past April.  Overall, we highly recommend Golden Corner Construction with 100% confidence and trust in Ron Tolley.

As the project progressed through each stage the level of communication, collaboration and responsiveness to our needs/desires remained consistently high right through the date of closing and beyond. We saw similar evidence of this unconventional service as we met other clients of Golden Corner so we know that our experience was not unique. Golden Corner Construction delivered an unconventional customer experience and we are confident that will continue for years to come post-closing.
