We used Larry Knight as a general contractor for a total home remodel. He started of strong but nothing was done to code. We are advised permits would be secured but we’re not. Even worse, Larry and his crew did such shoddy work that is was dangerous to the integrity to the home. Things such as leaving live electrical wire bare and buried in walls. Electrical splices in the ceilings with no junction boxes. Plumbing behind walls which used temporary connectors which are expected to fail within several years. Condensation drainage lines that dumped condensate into the walls. Bearing walls where the studs were compromised with notches and buried behind walls. Then there was just the stupid and shoddy work where nothing is square, things like the garbage disposal leaked because only held with one screw or downdraft fan that wouldn’t work because the packaging wasn’t removed properly. Around here, after two years, we refer to Larry as an STD. We will never be rid of him. His work shoddiness flares up whenever you take a closer look at what was done. Use him and his crew at your own risk.

Description of Work: I had my house painted and some repair done on the fascia. The work was done well, but not finished at the time they said it would be completed. And I still don't know if the roof tile was ever looked at.

I called and set up an apt for an estimate and that part went fine. The owner Robert took measurements of all the rooms I wanted work to be done in and he was very pleasant. He even told me about a new product smart strand and how that would be the best carpet to use. He told me he would get back to me with an estimate and I never heard from him in weeks so I sent off an email to him asking about my estimate and he acted like he didn't remember me and ask me to send him the measurements. I told him I did not have the measurements that is why he came by my house in the 1st place was to get my measurements and give me a estimate. He never answered me back and I was so mad I did not want to go any further with this company seeing that they are not reliable.

Description of Work: Robert L. "Larry" Knight has performed flooring installations for us on three occasions: tile flooring in 2002, carpeting in 2007 (different rooms), and most recently, carpeting in another location this year. In each case the work done was excellent, Mr. Knight was very obliging in making sure that we got exactly what we wanted, the work was done promptly, and the price in each case was close to the estimate. We will certainly use him again if we need flooring sales or installation, and I recommend him highly.

I found them on Angie's List and called them. We got an estimate on the phone, they came the next day when they said they would be there. Performed the work for the estimated price and also did some additional work at no extra charge. We will definitely use them again for our flooring needs.
Description of Work: we had some carpet repaired. They did an excellent job, very professional.

No complaints whatsoever...
Description of Work: Excellent repair work, replacing ceramic tile that had to be removed due to a hot water slab leak. The guys came on a Sunday--on time, wasted no time while here, and we can't even tell a difference between the six replaced tiles and the original ones, which were installed in October 2007! COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THEIR WORK! I will go nowhere else than Southern for anything else we need. End of story...
Joann and everyone else were great at every step in this process. I originally came to them nearly a year ago looking for Concrete overlay work for flooring. Even though they did not provide this service at the time, Joann was very professional and mentioned tiling options similar in appearance to the desired result. After research proved that the concrete overlay would be prohibitively expensive, I returned to them to further discuss tiling. Everyone there was very friendly and professional while being quite patient with my young children. The advice and guidance I received were great, and the tile is perfect for the space. I'm very happy with the experience and will certainly return to get more tile for the other bathroom and kitchen later on. It is my pleasure to to strongly recommend this company.

Company did a great job! A 5 man team came in and removed old flooring and began laying tile on the same day. They completed the job in two days and cleaned up the entire mess.
Description of Work: Ceramic tile was installed in my laundry room, kitchen, dinning room and master bath.

We called the day before to confirm that they were supposed to come the next day, and we were told that we were on the list. The next day, we were told that we were not on the list. When I spoke with the owner, he cursed me and asked if I wanted my check back. The installers were fine, but the owner (Robert "Larry" Knight) was incredibly rude and unprofessional.
Description of Work: We had new bedroom carpeting installed.
