"It is with great pleasure that we have moved into our new home on Clarendon Lane. We are pleased with the excellent and timely fashion in which it has been completed. Building a home long distance was a concern, but your excellent team put all of our concerns at ease.

We are pleased and proud to say that we have a Harden Home. When we are ready to build our next project without hesitation we will call on your team once again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Gratefully yours,

Kathi and Nick Bartolomeo "



We want to inform you that the entire building process has been an exciting and pleasant experience. This we believe is due to your high standards, integrity, honesty, staff and subcontractors.

Overall we are very happy with our home and the quality of the workmanship. We are especially indebted to Dixie, Norma and Leroy for all of their hard work and efforts that helped make this possible.

Sincerely,

Joan & Anthony Viscardi



In March of this year Harden Homes completed construction of our home in the community of Belfair just as they promised. Our experience with Harden Homes was very pleasant from beginning to end. The construction process went very smoothly, our concerns and requests (which were few) were addressed promptly in a friendly and professional manner and the finished product was of superb quality and craftsmanship. Since March, the few items that needed correction were handled expeditiously and to our complete satisfaction. All of this took place while we were living over 600 miles away.

Needless to say, we have nothing but the highest recommendations for this company and its personnel. If we were to build again, Harden Homes would be our choice of builder without a doubt.

Sincerely,

Juan and Claudio Pardo



We truly enjoyed working with Harden Homes on the construction of our recently complete home at Colleton River. We live (moving in July) in Washington State. The process went extremely well. Norma Henderson sent us detailed pictures via email, showing each major construction stage of construction and bi-weekly written updates so we could track the progress against the schedule. Hooray for Harden Homes! Alvin & Helen MCCain

We selected Harden Homes to build our oceanfront home on our Architect's recommendation. They were right. On time, on budget, quality work complete integrity and a lot of fun What more could you ask for? Our weekly status meetings with the architects and Harden project manager and supervisor were very effective in managing the project, solving problems before they happened, and easing everyone's nerves. We would recommend them to anyone looking to build a quality home.

Kudos to the Harden Homes Team!

You have all gone beyond our expectations! Our initial sales talk with Harden Homes led to our partnership with John Pitman architect, and the collaboration for our dream house. With several building projects under our belt, this was by far the most professionally and well executed experience yet.

Our new home is exceptional in design, layout and overall quality detailing- Thoughts that we visualized came to fruition through John and were passed on to skilled workmen and office personnel at Harden Tuten Custom Homes. No detail was left undone through efforts of the wonderful ladies who facilitated construction efforts via weekly Internet status sheets and aided with household vendors.

We cannot say enough about all our friends at Harden Homes and John Pittman. Thank you

Sincerely,

Jerry and Dianne Smith


We would like to express how pleased we are with the job Harden Homes did on our recent building project on Spring Island.

Cost, quality and timeliness are three very important factors in such a project such as this, and Harden was able to live up to all of our expectations. The cost was on budget. The house completed on if not ahead of schedule, a rarity in this day and age. The workmanship was outstanding as evidenced by our very short punch list. Also, as we have discussed, when there was a problem or two with subs, your response and ability to make things right was exemplary.

It was a pleasure doing businesses with Harden Homes and we are very happy to make a very positive recommendation on your behalf.

Sincerely,

Link and Sally Kinnicutt



Dear Mike,
As you know, Harden Homes has built two homes for us in the last fifteen years. The second home which was just completed was built with the same professional skills as our first home. That is the reason I did not get another bid on building our new home. I am again very satisfied with the professional skills of you and your employees. The correspondence between your company and client are extremely timely and your scheduling of sub contractors is what makes your predicted building time right on target. Also your pricing with upgrades and deletions are right on target. In the two homes you have builts for us, there has been not one dispute on anything. That is remarkable as I have built other homes and commercial property and this is very unique. I also want to praise you on the warranty book you give your clients upon completion.

If I were to build another home, there would be only one builder and that would be Harden Tuten Custom Homes.

Sincerely,

R.J. Stephenson




I thought that building a home in Hilton Head while living in Connecticut would prove to be a stressful and perhaps exasperating experience. Harden Homes proved that just the opposite can be true. They made the process seem easy. First and foremost communications were superb and they had many many helpful suggestions from planning and design all the way through the end of construction. Second, there were always several people working on the house EVERY day during the entire construction period. They actually finished exactly on schedule and I never had to push even once. And last the quality and attention to detail were wonderful. I would heartily recommend Harden Homes to any prospective buyer.

Now that the dust has, so to speak settled, I want to let you know how pleased Irene and I are with our new home in Berkeley Hall.

We can't say enough good things about our building experience and the help provided by the Harden team we worked with. Norma Henderson, Marcy Hirshman and Charlie Buck are outstanding individuals. They are not only experienced and knowledgeable but they could not have been more helpful. Building a home, especially from eight hundred miles away, is always a challenge and an aggressive construction schedule makes the task even more daunting.

From the very beginning things went smoothly and the results of our collective effort speak for themselves. Our home is well constructed, it was completed close to our expected date and at, what we consider to be, a fair price. We look forward to many happy years at 26 Lancaster Boulevard and we have Harden Homes to thank.

Alex & Irene Khowaylo




Barbara and I wanted to write to thank you and your colleagues at Harden Homes again for the fabulous job you did in building our Lifestyle Home at Berkeley Hall.

As a result of the frequent communications we enjoyed during the building process, our initial concern about tying to build long distance turned out to have been misplaced. The end result is a beautiful home that turned out exactly the way we hoped it would.

We know we benefited from the Harden Homes philosophy of quality construction and attention to detail, and we are truly appreciative. Please convey our thanks to all of the Harden Homes team involved in the construction of our home.

Best regards
William Wade




Our new house is awesome! It's absolutely beautiful even our dog, Bonnie, says, "This house rocks!" From the moment Sherry and I walked into the Birkdale, we knew it was exactly what we wanted. Since you guys at Harden Homes had built the model, we asked you if you could recreate it exactly, upgrades and all.

We had never been involved in the construction of a house, but you guys patiently walked us through it. Now we can actually look at a blueprint and only get moderately dizzy.

And even though we lived a thousand miles away during the construction and could only get down here every 6 weeks or so, you made us feel like we were almost here with constant detailed email updates including digital photos of the construction. And when we did come down to see the construction, you introduced us to your subcontractors and explained in detail all the work they were doing and when it would be completed.

And then on January 19th we actually moved in and we couldn't be happier. Everyone who visits is blown away from the moment they walk through the front door. They always ask, "Who built this house?" When we tell them they ask, "Would you build with them again?" Absolutely.

And thanks, Mike, for your continuous involvement during the entire process. We imagined a beautiful home and you built us a home even better than we imagined. Our thanks to all of you.

Dan and Sherry and Bonnie Heagy




Before settling on Harden Homes, we carefully considered several highly rated and recommended custom homebuilders in the area. Harden represents that best combination of creative custom design, quality craftsmanship, dependability, on-time delivery and value. The sub-contractors were first rate, the staff helpful and supportive, and we found the entire building process from design to punch list extremely user-friendly. Would we use Harden Homes should we build another home in the area? Without hesitation.

I want to take this opportunity to let you know how thrilled Dede and I are with our new house. It is very evident that Harden Homes cares a great deal about quality of construction. The house is well built and exactly to our specifications and expectations. The fact that it came in "on budget" and actually ahead of schedule speaks volumes about Harden Homes' commitment to a quality construction process. The team working on our project was outstanding. I can't close without saying something about the "design build" concept. Our architect, John Pittman, designed the house to truly delight us. The close collaboration between Harden Homes and John allowed his vision to be realized in a most efficient manner.
