Southern Transformations

Fred never inspected the flooring that was installed recently.(There are spaces between the tiles as shown in third photo.) The paint, shelving, and lighting is all good, at least. I would like him to inspect the work on the floor, which he never "supervised" nor inspected at the completion. His workers left a lot of trash outside the garage (see fourth photo) and a very heavy bag of sand in the storage room (shown in first two photos). The flooring samples are still here, as well. Additionally, a door, which was listed on the invoice, was never installed in the room. There were “rain” delays and other delays which Fred either informed me about late or not at all. I'm sure he is not generally paid "in full" before everything is completed and cleaned up. (I paid the invoice before the work was begun.) I wonder if the workers were paid before they started the job, did not dispose of their trash, and did not "clean up" after? Perhaps the $4,462 I paid up front was not enough to be all inclusive? Fred said he would be here on January 30th, then texted at 2:58 pm, “Sheila the day has gotten away from me. I'll make you my first stop tomorrow.” He never showed up the next day. I texted him the next day and he replied, “ Hi Sheila. I am at the VA hospital. I had an episode.. May be discharged this afternoon” I give up. (BTW, he asks to be paid via Zelle so that there is no recourse, other than going to small claims court, if the work is not satisfactory.) As of 2/17/2024, the bag of sand pictured has not been retrieved.

Fred and his crew are true professionals! From providing the best bid, to attentively paying attention to each and every detail, to finally delivering a stunning new kitchen. Both timely and clean, our kitchen project went smoothly and we plan to use Southern Transformations for future projects. Would highly recommend!

We have used Fred and his crew for 3 separate projects. First in 2018, Fred finished our basement in a new construction home we had just purchased. This job went well, and we were happy with the work done. In February of this year, we bought a fixer upper and hired Fred to remodel the upstairs (kitchen, bathroom, all flooring and paint throughout). We were very happy with the remodel, so we asked him to finish our basement. Until this point, we would have given 5 stars, but unfortunately, this basement project has been a disaster due to horrible communication and lack of professionalism. From the start of the basement project, Fred only communicated to us when he wanted money and only came to the house to pick up the money (never did he do any quality control so there were a few large errors from his crew that had to be fixed). We are currently on week 18 of a proposed 5 week job. Over the past two weeks Fred has ignored every call, email, and text (with the exception of an automatic "I will call you this evening" response to the rejected phone calls). Needless to say, he did not call back, and we have not spoken to him since September. We are left with a 42" by 42" hole in our main floor and no way to access the basement without going outside and around the house. We believe that the reason we are being ignored is due to a mistake on whomever measured the opening for our staircase. The staircase ordered was too large for the opening, and Fred said he would order a new one to fit. Apparently, this new staircase was never ordered, and we were lied to. We have three young children, so this is incredibly unsafe. We have been more than patient and understanding over the past month, but since we are being completely ghosted now, we want to warn other repeat customers that even when you have given Fred over $125K, there is no loyalty or respect. We are truly sad and disappointed that it has come to this.

Fred and his team are top notch. After helping us with a couple smaller projects (that we love), this is the first large-scale project I have done with him and he exceeded all expectations. Not only is the finished result beautiful, Fred went above and beyond with many of the touches and was always on top of things we hadn't even discussed. And when we unexpectedly ran into some permitting issues, Fred handled them all seamlessly and professionally.

Fred and his crews do a great job. We found them to be reasonably ppriced and flexible throughout our basement project. Fred stayed in constant communication to keep us updated on the next steps in our project and was extremely responsive to questions. I loved the the special touches like a hidden door disguised as bookshelves. We couldn’t be happier with how our basement turned out.

Fred and his crew with Southern Transformations have done several home renovation projects for us in the past 3 to 4 years. We did an entire basement remodel including removing walls, adding support beams, rerouting HVAC and electrical lines, flooring, lighting, and a small kitchen. We then later changed the flooring, tile, laundry, carpet, and staircase banisters on the upstairs level of our house. We also used them for painting the entire exterior of our home including our decks. Everyone on Fred's crew has been respectful of our home and has done excellent work. I thought it was also telling that the same crew that did work from our first remodel was here to do work on our newer projects, so clearly the staffing is consistent and highly qualified. Fred is a perfectionist and wants to make sure everything meets your expectations. His pricing is fair and clear. We've done some smaller projects in our home without a general contractor using other vendors and had inconsistent results, but with Fred and his crew you will have your project done on time and within budget. We highly recommend Southern Transformations!

I found Fred to be prompt and courteous and very professional. The work is superb and clean and cant believe he was able to delivery project ahead of schedule time!. It's the best title work I have seen in the 2 other projects I handled. I would highly recommend Fred to anyone who wants to be a little hands off and defer that to Fred and he follows through and delivers! Ang time I have bathroom or remodel or build projects I'm always going with Fred and his team now.!

Southern Transformations is the most professional, reliable and friendly renovation company I’ve worked with. The entire crew is respectful and when they say they’ll be there, they’ll be there. Their work is beautiful and I couldn’t recommend them more!

Fred is a unicorn in the contractor world... in addition to great work at a fair price, he was wonderful at the project-management side of our project as well. He was prompt in replying to any questions, provided a clear and detailed quote, and was proactive in keeping us updated with the work schedule. We're very happy with the result. Absolutely recommend Southern Transformations.

Southern Transformations led by Fred Perdomo is, by far, the best general contractor we have met and used in decades! We were looking for and struggling to find a contractor to rebuild our deck. We found Fred through a friend of our son who recommended him. We met with Fred and had a positive conversation about what we were looking for, and he agreed to come back with a project manager to estimate the work to be done. The follow-on meeting happened a few days later and Southern Transformations then submitted a fair and complete proposal which we accepted. Two weeks later, as planned, Fred returned and introduced the demolition/construction team that has worked for him for years. The team immediately began the demolition and ultimately the construction of a new deck. We were impressed with the pace of construction, the smooth teamwork, and the attention to detail. The deck is perfect. Built to code and perfectly stained. Thank you, Fred Perdomo.

Southern Transformations gave us exactly what we asked for. The team has been very accommodating throughout the whole process. Will definitely hire them again.

I interviewed several contractors companies; and with patience and faith I found this gem! Outstanding! I honestly can’t be more thankful for Fred and his team. Southern Transformations completely turn my house into a beautiful home. Fred kept his timelines to DATE! Which is almost unheard of when it comes to home renovations and construction projects. He was very detailed and his design suggestions met my taste and needs. He took my ideas and made them a reality. His prices are the best in the business, never once he hit me with a “surprise extra cost”. Last but certainly not least is the TRUST I had when his team were working in my home while I was busy at work was a huge peace of mind. How neat his team is, by the time I got back home from work my home was cleared from debris, cleaned and never I feared for my personal belongings. They respected my home and treated it like it was their own. I literally said to Fred at the end of all the projects we worked together: “I am looking for more projects to do so you can continue working your magic in my home”. So blessed to find this business. Forever thankful and forever grateful of Southern Transformations. Fred is extraordinary
