Kevin went above and beyond to answer my concerns and questions in a timely manner.  Whenever little problems would arise with construction, as I now know they always do, Kevin was always great about communicating the timelines with me and assuaging my concerns.  Even after I moved into my home, Kevin was great about making sure things were going well and became a point person for making sure all my questions were answered- even when it didn't fall in his 'jurisdiction'.  Because of his extreme diligence in so many matters, Kevin helped what could have been an extremely stressful process an exciting time.  I am so grateful.

Kevin is a great builder.  We really enjoy living in our new home.  Sometimes we see people slowing down in the neighborhood to take pictures.

We interviewed several builders and were truly blessed when we met Kevin Mangum of Mangum Design-Build. We were seeking a custom builder who builds truly unique homes, and who is dedicated to fulfilling his customers desires. After touring a Mangum Design-Build home under construction, and sitting down with Kevin to discuss our desires we knew we had found our builder. Kevin is very energetic, creative, and honest and takes pride in fulfilling the dreams of his clients. Kevin proved to be an ethical builder and a man of integrity, building and delivering our house on time and within budget; making things right every time there was any question or issue. A bonus and a blessing for us is that Kevin shares our Christian beliefs and values, he too gives back to help others in need and to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

To Whom it May Concern: I have been working with Kevin for the past several years and am proud of my association with such a man of integrity, honesty, and commitment.  Kevin has gone above and beyond the call of his trade in order to build the most perfect home for his clients.  I would highly recommend Kevin to friends, family, and clients.

We contracted with Mangum Design-Build, Inc.  to build a custom home in the Renaissance at Regency subdivision in Cary North Carolina.  The builder and his staff have been very professional and great to work with during the whole process.  I must say that the house that Mangum Design-Build, Inc. built for us has exceeded our expectations.  The quality of materials and craftsmanship are outstanding.  It has meant a lot to us that Kevin Mangum, the builder, was personally involved in the construction of the house.  Kevin has demonstrated during the whole process that his philosophy is quality first.  I believe that this philosophy transcends throughout his company and therefore also sets a high level of standards for the subcontractors that work for him.   It has also been a pleasure getting to know Kevin Mangum and his staff.  They have always been very helpful and easy to communicate with.  Whenever we had questions or concerns they were prompt in responding and taking the necessary time to work with us until we were fully satisfied.

We had a great Christmas in our new house.  We're really proud of it and impressed by the quality that went into it.  I wanted to pass along an experience actually.  When it snowed for a while a week or two ago, Corey and I were watching it from the dining room windows.  It was beautiful but what we noticed is how well the windows kept the cold out.  We couldn't tell that it was cold outside unless we actually touched the window.  I had been pretty worried that it was going to be tough to keep the family room warm because of the open space and the high ceiling but that hasn't been an issue at all.  You guys did a a really nice job making the house comfortable.  Thanks!

We chose Kevin to build our house based on viewing some other completed houses he had built in our neighborhood and we were not disappointed.  We found him to be extremely ethical and professional.  Mangum built within the time frame we wanted and within the budget agreed upon.  We found him to be more than a builder as he went the extra step to help us with our unique issues.  He even picked my wife up at the airport.  We came through the building process very pleased and consider Kevin not just our builder, but our friend.  If we built another house in the area, we would without hesitation ask Kevin to to build it for us.

Kevin-  The house is still a dream to live in, and we haven't had any problems.  The house is so nice that I actually hate travelling now and having to stay in hotels.  Nothing beats Val's Taj-ma closet and her Taj-ma bathroom.  Give us a call if you're back down our way.  We'd love to see you!

We've come down to the final days before move-in, and I can say that the pickle tastes good.  (Referring to the Wendy's way, where the last bite of the burger should taste just as good as the first)

We had our first family get together in our new home.  30 people in all.  They loved it.
