Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness We had a scheduled meeting at the project site. They did not show for the scheduled appointment. Did not answer a text or return a phone call while waiting for them to arrive for appointment. Never heard from them again.

We added approximately 1,300 square feet to our home with a two-story addition including a master bedroom, bath, walk-in closet, den and storage. We received another bid on this project and Tri-Square was cheaper. David Young bid on the job at the last moment, as some of the other companies we had lined up fell through. Tri-Square did an excellent job of keeping the project moving.

When I was contemplating buying my house, it was evident that the kitchen would need a complete renovation. Dave and I met a few times to discuss my vision of what I thought the kitchen and surrounding areas should be. Then he came up with a plan and was so willing to work with me and listen to my needs and desires that after just a few tweaks we had the perfect working plan.

The best decision we ever made when choosing a company to handle our renovation and addition to our Historic Eastover home was selecting Tri-Square Builders. We have done two projects in the last 10 years and we couldn't be more thrilled and impressed with every aspect of the process.

I had the opportunity to work with David and his company Tri-Square for both the design and the construction of our new home. I can't express enough the value we received in working with David. He even helped us to select the proper lot to use for the construction that we wanted. That alone saved us over $20,000. What a way to start a relationship!
