Before you call

Questions we get every week.

Not covered? Call (704) 507-7150, weekdays 9 to 5.

Are these really your jobs?

Yes. Every photograph on this page is a job this crew finished, taken on site by us over the years. None of them is stock and none is a rendering.

Why are some of them so ugly?

Because the demolition photographs are the honest ones. A shower with a rotten subfloor under it, a wall plate gone soft, a bathtub rusted through — that is what we find, and showing it is more use to you than another finished-room photograph.

Can I see a job near me?

Ask on the phone. We are building out a job-by-town record and your street may well already be on it, especially in Monroe, Waxhaw, Indian Trail and Matthews.

Do you have before-and-after pairs?

For some jobs, yes — the cherry-to-white kitchen and the slate bathroom on this page are both shot in sequence. We only pair photographs that are genuinely the same job, which is why there are fewer pairs here than on some contractors' sites.
