Reviews
Write a ReviewI have used Don on several projects and I'm extremely happy with his results. He does a excellent job, has follow thru and listens to his clients needs.
Don listened and reviewed what I wanted as the end product for our covered outdoor living area. Don was timely with his site visits and the permittable set of plans.
Don did a very good design to open up the kitchen and living area by removing preexisting columns and walls.
Dishonest. Don Karcher stole my deposit and stopped answering my phone calls after I gave him my money.
this guy tried to build something in his backyard without a permit got caught. I tried to help him out. I knocked $1,000 off the price and he was really pushing the amount of time do it. at this point we are two weeks into this job. what he does not understand is that I have responsibilities to the people who have concluded business with me; I have to respond to remarks from the building department through permitting. this happens all the time. I am going to finish these plans in the next two days and deliver them to him. what he does with them on this is his business. That will put me a little over 2-weeks to completion.
signed contract with this guy in Jan 2023. Gave $1k deposit. Have not received anything over a year later.
Bill is absolutely right, Bill hasn't received much because I had a lot of it done before my first meeting. Bill initially wasn't in any big rush. I wish I had handled this job a little better. But when you deal with people who are busy, it pays to be the squeaky wheel. In our business you usually know who's in a rush, because they are on the phone all the time. I have done drawings on his property, I just have to put it all together. My apologies Bill.
This man took our money back on December 3rd and as of yet June 29th has not done any work. we requested our money back and still have not gotten anywhere.
Unfortunately, for whatever reason, this client decided not to build the addition and wants her money back. You decide what a person's time is worth. I've been asked to stop work, and that's what I have done. If for some reason in the future they'd like to finish the project, I am more than willing to do that, as long as I'm paid the balance of the agreement. If anyone is concerned about this client posted comment, feel free to contact me through Angie.
Don obviously knows the industry and his business. Very good value and pleasant to work with!
Thank you, Don, for stepping in after a bad contractor experience. Hope to see you at our shop as soon as we can swing this doors open!
Thank you for convincing me to do the job on your terms. Realizing what you'd been through already, I did what I could do. Thank you for the nice review.
Don was great. He was able to turn around some construction plans in a respectful timeline. Overall, Don is a great Draftsman that provides great quality work to meet your deadlines/timelines and at great value. I would recommend Don. K.
