Testimonials “In early 2023, we began working with Stephen Davis Home Designs (SDHD), LLC in Knoxville TN to customize one of their designs, “the Olivia” plan. Having in the past worked with an architect to design our existing lakefront home, we had pretty high expectations for SDHD. Gus and his team not only met those expectations, they exceeded them in every way. Our final home design is beautiful; we expect to start construction in Spring 2024. Gus melds artistic architectural creativity with adept mastery of the computer design skills so necessary today. Starting with an existing SDHD plan that we liked, we were able to quickly identify and implement many custom features that were important to us. The entire process of working together in front of a large, high-definition screen to make these changes, and try out some new ideas, was very efficient and kept the architectural costs down significantly (as compared to our previous experience). What made this experience actually enjoyable, was the entirely personable and cooperative nature of the primary person we worked with, Gus. We looked forward to our plan review meetings, and often we were reluctant to leave. He consistently ensured we were happy with the end product! We strongly recommend SDHD for your custom home design, and ask for Gus!” – Steve “We hired Stephen Davis Home Designs to design an average sized home. They had many larger projects, but treated our project as though it were their most important. The plan they came up with for us was perfect for our needs, and we highly recommend Stephen Davis Home Designs and Gus Carodine!” – Abraham “Everyone at the office is very helpful and courteous. All of our questions were answered in a timely manner. This was our first time dealing with a remodel and using an architect. The process was smooth and uneventful. Mr Davis had lots of great ideas and listened to our concerns as well. We are very excited to get started on our project.” – Whitney “I’ve worked with Stephen Davis over the last twenty years. I’ve found him to be an honest and creative home designer. My customers have been extremely satisfied with his designs and knowledge. I consider it an honor to build his designs.” – Keener Homes “We worked with Gus Carodine at Stephen Davis Home Designs to create our forever home. Gus was prompt in responding to inquiries and suggestions. He LISTENED to everything we discussed and desired for our home design. Gus explained why certain elements were suggested and also offered variations that were aesthetically pleasing to us and functional for the home design. He worked constantly to keep us informed and keep our project moving forward to completion. Gus is extremely knowledgeable, polite, conscientious, efficient and personable. We highly recommend Gus and his team at Stephen Davis Home Design!”– Leslie “Stephen Davis Home Designs came highly recommended and for good reason. I was trying to create my forever home but showed up with a mixed bag of ideas and designs. I worked closely with Gus and after patiently listening to my long wish list and frequent change requests, he pulled all the pieces together and came up with the perfect floor plan. They are lucky to have Gus on their team. He is professional, respectful and knowledgable providing valuable insight and direction throughout the process. My recommendation… do it right the first time and go with Stephen Davis” – Stephanie We had the pleasure of working with Gus Carodine at Stephen Davis Home Designs. It was among the most professional, pleasurable experiences we have experienced. My husband and I are attorneys with a keen eye for details and high expectations. At every turn, Gus exceeded those expectations. He provided us with a floor plan of our dream home based on one of there model plans but with our modifications. Providing suggestions along the way to guide us, but was never pushy and was always very polite. He worked quickly without sacrificing quality. We could not be more pleased. He must be a person of extreme character and a person of faith as his kindness and good heartedness showed. Further, not only was Gus, as the architect, excellent, the support staff was also wonderful. Kim, the front desk receptionist, is kind with a wonderful sense of humor. They both treated us well including when we had to bring our newborn son to appointments. Last, we are racial minorities and are particularly interested in fair and equal treatment wherever we do business. We got that fair and equal treatment at Stephen Davis Home Designs. We strongly recommend the company and particularly Gus Carodine without hesitation or reservation. Excellent experience!!! – Brooklyn
