On Pride-Port Hudson lies a beautiful home in Zachary that Carroll Construction had the privilege of building.
Client Vision
When the Rash family came to us, they were looking for clarity. After a long, drawn-out experience with an outside designer, they were eager to move forward with a team that could help bring their vision to life with structure, confidence, and creativity.
They had a distinct sense of style—warm, charming, and rooted in family history. From the start, they knew this home needed to feel personal, not just pretty. We helped them refine their layout, align their goals with a realistic budget, and bring character to the home in meaningful, lasting ways.
Why They Chose Carroll Construction
The Rash family had already invested a lot of time in the early stages of design but felt like they were still spinning their wheels. Our design-build process gave them something they hadn’t yet experienced: progress.
By joining us midstream, they gained access to a structured workflow, transparent budgeting, and an in-house team that could keep the momentum going without losing sight of their vision. Every finish and detail was documented inside our project portal, giving them clarity and peace of mind throughout the process.
From reclaimed materials to budget coordination, our team helped bridge the gap between inspiration and execution—without overwhelming them.
How We Helped
One of the most personal touches in the Rash home came from the past: a collection of old wood from Tammy’s family. We carefully transported it to our cabinet maker, who transformed the material into a custom mudbench just outside their bedroom and a desktop for Brian’s home office. These pieces are more than functional—they’re part of the family story.
The home’s low-country farmhouse design also included some distinct architectural moments:
-
An antique door repurposed for the pantry
-
A pair of reclaimed sliding barn doors leading into the master bathroom
-
A warm, inviting exterior with a blend of modern layout and southern charm
Our team kept everything organized, balancing customization with schedule and budget. Where other processes had stalled, we were able to bring clarity and direction—and finish strong.
The Result
The Rash family home is a true reflection of who they are—warm, welcoming, and full of character. What began as a frustrating start turned into a project that not only stayed on track but delivered something deeply personal.
The handcrafted details—the reclaimed wood, the antique doors, the cozy layout—make the home feel like it’s always been theirs. We built a space where they can gather, grow, and make lasting memories, and it’s been a joy to watch them do just that.
What’s more, we’ve remained connected long after the final walkthrough. It's a reminder that great homes start with trust and end with lasting relationships.
