We signed a contract for a construction project located at our primary property on May 6, 2024 with…read moreCarolina Contracting and Investment, Inc. The contract was signed with Glenn Wise located at 1632 Village Harbor Dr., Lake Wylie, SC. 28710. The project was to remove the roof of the 3-car detached garage extend the 3-car garage to six car garage and build a 2-bedroom 2 bath above the detached garage. Once the contract was signed by Mr. Wise, he turned over the construction of the project to Andrew Neweth, project manager and Art Regnier, supervisor. There were several problems with the construction project: The electrical for the detached project was to run through our Primary Dwelling, which already existed. We were told by Carolina Contracting that the county would not approve. However, the county did approve, but the concrete contractor had already poured the garage floor. This did not allow the placement of electrical in the detached garage. This was additional project cost to owner. The next issue was that the patio door was to be 12 foot wide but the Project Manager ordered and installed a 9 foot. The master bath was to have a walk- in tub. The framer was not told by contractor and framing was installed and installing of walk-in tub could not done. The front of the original detached garage was removed and the existing brick was cleaned of mortar and placed in yard. I asked the brick contractor why they did not use the removed cleaned brick. The contactor indicated that he was not told to install the brick. This was a cost to the owner for cleaning of brick. The biggest concern is the exterior brick that was installed. I had raised the concern back in January 2025. The brick ordered was manufactured by Triangle brick. The name that was ordered was Southampton. The original supply of brick was correct. The brick contractor ordered a second delivery of brick; however, it did not match the first supply of brick. He ordered a third order of brick, but again that supply did not match the original order. The brick contractor had the original order and the third order removed from property and used the Second order to complete project. The brick contractor was insisting that the brick would be a closer match after being pressure washed. There was a brick stainer that came out to our property several times to stain the brick. This process did not work and I was not satisfied with results. A contact from Carolina Brick and Material, brick supplier, came out to the property and asked how did the stainer perform his work. After we talked, he indicated that the end result was not acceptable. The color of the detached structure is lighter than the Primary dwelling. This looks bad and does not match the original structure. We were told by Glenn Wise that there would not use the contractors for Electrical, Plumbing and Concrete/block in future. The overall project was far from acceptable. There was no supervision from Glenn Wise, Andrew and Art. We would NOT hire Carolina Contractor and Investment again

I had a disappointing experience with Carolina Contracting & Investments Inc. While they were not…read morethe lowest-priced option, I moved forward expecting a higher level of service and project management. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The project timeline extended well beyond what was originally communicated, with little proactive communication or clarity around delays. Overall coordination felt lacking, and the project did not appear to be effectively managed from start to finish. One of my primary concerns was that the individual acting as the project manager was actually the company's Marketing & Business Development Director, and this was reportedly her first time managing a project. As a result, several important details were overlooked throughout the process. After the project was completed, I was also contacted directly by one of their subcontractors stating they had not been paid for their work. This was concerning and added to my overall lack of confidence in how the project was handled behind the scenes. Additionally, there were professionalism concerns during the project. The individual I understood to be the superintendent (Art) frequently arrived at my home with a noticeable odor of alcohol, which was uncomfortable and raised concerns. Based on my experience, I would recommend that others proceed with caution and ask detailed questions about project management structure, communication expectations, and subcontractor handling before moving forward.

Project ran over by 12 months, piers were missing in the crawl space, lots of mistakes, just ripped out the shower they installed because the liner was installed wrong and leaked, David nor Stan really care. They are content with delivering subpar work and subpar subcontractors. BOAZ subcontracted two guys to install all new doors and windows in teh home. These "subcontractors" showed up drinking malt liquor before going to work. None of our home's interior doors or exterior doors not installed by Clark Hall stay put. Every single one is a ghost door. Our home renovation was/is the joke of the neighborhood due to the amount of time it took and our ongoing issues. Feel free to contact me for additional information: noelsimons1970@hotmail.com.

Nearly 4 years on we are still fixing stuff they did wrong. Do not use. There are much better contractors in Charlotte.

We had a very disappointing experience with Meridian DesignBuild. I want to be fair because not…read moreeverything about the process was negative. In the beginning, Joe was personable, responsive, and the initial meetings gave us confidence that we had found the right contractor for a major home renovation. Unfortunately, things changed once we started making payments. As the project progressed, the estimated square footage of our remodel seemed to shrink while the overall price continued to increase. We continued making payments because we believed we were close to having finalized plans, but there always seemed to be another delay or another step before everything would be complete. Joe did provide us with a nearly complete set of architectural plans, but the kitchen design process was outsourced to someone in another country. Coordinating meetings across time zones was difficult, and we were asked to make our final payment before we had even completed our final kitchen design consultation or reviewed the finished plans. Looking back, that was our mistake, and I take responsibility for that. As interest rates rose and construction costs continued increasing, we decided to put the project on hold. Rather than walk away entirely, we asked if the approximately $20,000 we had already paid could be applied toward a smaller renovation project in the $40,000-$50,000 range. Joe declined, explaining that our deposit had already covered the time and work invested in developing the plans. After further discussion, he agreed to apply only $1,000 toward a future project. I understand that design work has value and that contractors deserve to be paid for their time. My frustration isn't that I expected everything back. It's that throughout the process I often felt pressured to continue making payments with the promise that we were almost at the finish line, only for another delay or another reason to come up. By the end, I no longer felt like we were dealing with someone who was looking out for us as clients. Everyone's experience may be different, but if you're considering Meridian DesignBuild, I would strongly recommend making sure every phase of the design process is complete, all plans are finalized, and you fully understand how your deposits can be used before making additional payments.
