Client Testimonial | Custom Home Build In Mount Pleasant, SC
When planning a move from out of town, our clients spent literally years looking at listings and touring homes in Charleston and Mount Pleasant, but nothing was hitting the mark. On one home search trip, they toured several custom home builds we had completed for previous clients, and from there they knew the decision to build was the right move.
We recently caught up with the Avondoglio’s to check in and talk about their experience with Structures | Alair. Having been familiar with the construction industry through their business, they had high expectations and quality standards.
Check out the video to learn more about their process and how they feel about their experience, even years later.

“ When we first came [to Charleston], or before we came down here, we thought that we would possibly buy a house and renovate it, but Jenny was looking at listings for I bet every night for four years, and we couldn’t find the perfect house. When we came down, we talked to real estate people and we looked at different homes.
And we went in quite a few Structures | Alair homes and we said, this is gonna be our builder.
And then we were kind of lucky because, Haley, who was with the sales office here in Riverside, we had said to her, you know, we’re thinking of these builders. We want to set up an interview with them just to see if we’re going to jive.
And she said, “Well, I’m gonna tell you right now, Structures is going to be the fit for your personalities too.”
We like to research things thoroughly before we can make a decision. We replied, “not until we’ve done all of the research because we’re kind of particular.”
She said, “Structures is the one for you.”
Building with Structures was wonderful. We knew right from the get go that Steve would have a spreadsheet for us with each trade, how much the cost would be, the timeline we had right from the beginning. We were fortunate that we moved down here, rented a house nearby, and we were here at the build site almost every single day, sometimes twice a day.
I like touching all the trim work and if it doesn’t feel like glass, it’s not good. And every piece of trim work in our house feels like glass.
For us, it was important that the things you don’t see are there. So if you’re somebody who’s really interested in quality and you want your crawlspace in immaculate condition, you want foam insulation, you wanna be able to go into that attic on a hundred degree day and have it be a nice ambient temperature that feels like 70.
We’ve got the hurricane windows. These were things we might not have thought of.
In our business, we had a lot of construction experience, so we know quite a bit of it. We’ve seen the good and the not so good. I used to hate hiring people to do work in our restaurant because when they got done, I could have done a lot better and that irks me.
Seeing what they [Structures | Alair] did here, I’m happy.
It was wonderful. We were always confident that whatever it was, it was gonna be done right. It was going to be perfect.
Since we moved in, we missed everybody from Structures. We really missed everybody. You form a friendship.
Don’t even think of any other builder. Just go with Structures | Alair. They do a great job, they’re the best, and they’re really nice people.
It’s like a family.”
