My family and I rented both sides of 259 Ocean Blvd W for a family reunion, to the tune of almost…read more$5000 for a week. When we arrived we found a neglected, filthy property. Most of the light bulbs were burnt out (which my step father spent a morning replacing), the light in one of the bathrooms didn't work at all, my 65 year old mother felt she had to scrub the kitchen floors on her hands and knees because they were filthy. The doorknobs to the outside doors were so corroded they barely functioned. We had young children with us who were forced to knock on the doors to enter and exit because they could not turn the knobs. The spigot on the outdoor shower was rusted and broken in half, leaving us to wonder if we would end up with tetanus while we were trying to rinse the sand off of our feet. One night while my family was relaxing in the living room, we saw several huge cockroaches climbing the walls and going in and out of the kitchen cupboards. We saw the cockroaches many more times in many places while we were staying there. When I called to speak with someone about the substandard conditions in the house, they asked, "Well, did you alert us to any of this while you were there?" As I tried to finish my explanation and alert them to the problems with the property, I was rudely cut off mid-sentence with a, "Yeah, well, thanks for calling." I was not asking for anything other than their attention so that future renters would not encounter the same conditions. I was told that Holden Beach Properties had no knowledge of the problems with this house, but the issues have clearly been developing for years. This kind of filth and neglect is not something that happens overnight. There is a journal in the house that people can share their experiences at the beach and going back several years the complaints about the roaches and general neglect to the house have been made. I have attached many pictures of the problems. It's clear to me this property management company does not pay attention to the properties they are responsible for, since they are in clear violation of the North Carolina Vacation Rental Act. Holden Beach Properties had zero intention of hearing me, or doing anything to fix the property. They will continue to collect thousands of dollars for a week in a roach motel. My family has been vacationing at Holden Beach for over 25 years and we have rented dozens of houses, and have never seen anything like this property. If you are thinking of renting a house on the beach, I suggest you do so anywhere else.

I was extremely happy with H5 Construction. Everyone I had contact with was very polite and…read moreknowledgeable. The construction crew themselves did not waste any time in completing my job. Also, the supervisor on my job site "Brian" went out of his way to make sure the job was completed to my satisfaction. While the job was being completed Bill the sales manager for H5 came by several times to make sure everything was on track. Prior to the job being completed the owner of H5 "Doug" came by a couple of times to see the progress and after the job was complete, he came by again for a personal final inspection. From a personal perspective I don't know of anything else H5 personnel could have done to make my job any better. The construction crew itself was great, there were checks and double checks to make sure everything thing was right. I highly recommend this company if you are considering any type of marine/canal or intercoastal work. They are great and very committed to pleasing their customers. Mike

So.....LONG post! My…read moreMIL hired Thomas Siding Windows and Remodeling to do some work on our porch!!!! He told me his reputation speaks for itself, so I want it to speak the truth. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!!!! Our house is 17 1/2 years old. The porch needed TLC! But it wasn't a safety hazard....until he left!!!! The railing now sways. The pickets are still loose! He sawed off 5 of the 8 newel posts. in the places where he didn't measure correctly, he caulked....and a 4 year old could have done a better caulking job! The next to the last step is longer than the rest. He didn't replace but a few inches of one of the boards!!! When I asked him to please clean up before he left ( because he didn't before he left for the weekend), he got belligerent and threaten to leave and then the next day said he was finished!!! I have NEVER seen someone just leave there tool belt on the job over the weekend. Or their level and hammer just out in the elements when they left for the day! He would show up, crank his music up load, and work. When he decided to leave, he'd blow off the sidewalk and he was gone. Tool belt and jigsaw on the bench. Screws and hammer in the middle of the landing! These are pics of the finished product!!!!! He charged her $3,000...and left here with a stack of lumber her never used!!!! Now, we have to hire someone with a REAL reputation, to come and complete the porch!!! More $$$. Included in the pics, are screen shots from his business page bragging about the job he was doing on our porch! I also included a shot of his personal page!! There is also a screen shot of where he is advertising to help the elderly....so I hope this protects y'all's grandparents and older friends too!!! I love local business. Anyone will tell you that. And I believe that you should use small business whenever possible....but don't make the same mistake my MIL did. Don't see someone doing something, and believe what they tell you they will do. Don't tell your story to people you don't know...because they will use your weakness to take advantage of you when you are at you lowest!! I truly believe this is what happened here. God don't like ugly!!!!
