Kim is helping us with our new build. Designing our kitchen, laundry and master bath. She is delightful and listens to who we are and what we are looking for. After postponing our build due to Covid Kim still is as helpful and patient as always! Can't imagine doing this with anyone else!

I went to Garris Evans about a week ago looking for a custom made exterior door. The man behind the desk was certainly not interested in me as a customer. He told me I should just go back to Lowes who suggested me trying there. He would not even look up how much the custom door I needed would cost there. I give 0ne star for him telling me the difference in a solld wood interior door versus an exterior door.

Called looking for 1x6x6 dog eard fence pickets and was shocked at $4.29 price when Lowe's was $2.49 and a NC lumber and supply yard was $1.50 for #2 grade
