Get matched with top addition and remodeling pros in Arden, NC

"I am thrilled with the finished product!! Chris had quick and great ideas for remodeling a very small and difficult space. I would definitely use him again for another home project."

"We hired Summerlin Exterior Solutions to build an addition to our existing deck and construct a large hog wire fence around our yard. Our lot is steeply sloped in places which made the fence build quite challenging. We wanted the deck addition to be a match to the existing deck construction and it too was elevated off steeply sloping terrain. We are extremely happy with the results. The construction quality is excellent. Everything is extremely solid. Thoughtful touches and pride in craftsmanship are evident. Jesse, Cole, and the team were great in keeping us abreast of what was happening on a daily basis. These guys, like the construction, are solid!"

"The area below the deck was covered with an oily, greasy, slippery residue ie, flagstone patio, stucco house walls, stone support pillars for deck, and numerous potted and bedding plants. Even the doormat was greasy. It had been explained to me that there would be a waiting period of 3 wks between the power wash of the joists and the spraying of the sealant. After the power wash I texted to remind the contractor for the stone area and plants to be covered, but did not know that the sealant would be applied the very next day to wet wood…and without any protective covering to the patio, pillars, house, and plants. Windows thankfully were covered. I slipped on the greasy doormat when I discovered the problem the next morning. I was not at home the day of the spraying. The cans left in the driveway said not to spray on wet wood, to protect areas/plants/objects not being sprayed, and remove immediately any overspray with compliant cleaner. I made the first payment for materials at Lowe’s ($3182.99) in July. The second payment was for posts and 2x4 wood ($1800-no receipt given) combined together with $7000 requested by contractor unexpectedly one Friday afternoon. He usually just dropped by- no appts or advance notice. Contractor left immediately after getting my check to “pay my guys”. At this point I have paid $11,982.01 toward the $14,500 contract, leaving approximately $2517. 01. Although Gerry has made numerous trips to my home, he has not brought me a copy of my signed contract or the second receipt for more materials -$1800. I asked at least 3-4 times for these documents. There was some adjustment to the original design because I did not want the small pickets seated on a huge horizontal 2x6 board. This necessitated a return of the bottom boards in exchange for smaller 2x4 boards which were then placed vertically at top and bottom to hold pickets. At the beginning of the project, I pointed out to the contractor that one of the existing posts had wood rot. Another post was unstable and I approved new posts. I had 7. He put in 14 per code but they were much smaller than original ones. That was ok with me. I have no receipt for the post wood (part of the $1800 I think) but a neighbor-house builder-contractor came by and checked Lowe’s cost for posts between $800-900. Other material might have been in that rounded figure, but again, I have no receipt. All of those posts were installed, but several were then removed because of damaged wood. I don’t feel I should pay labor twice for those posts, nor do I believe that the labor costs boosted my expenses to $18,000, a total figure the contractor jotted on a note paper, but we never discussed a new figure. Last week I asked to meet with the contractor at his convenience and asked again for him to bring my signed contract and receipts for the $1800 for “materials”. He chose 2 pm Friday, but at 3pm, I texted because he was not there. At 3:15 I told him we would need to reschedule. I had 2 appts with stone masons to assess the damage to my stonework. Both were shocked at the damage and explained that flagstone absorbs oil and power washing would not remove all the blotchy stains. They also looked at the pillars and chimney stone which was turned dark from the oil and the gravel in the driveway which was turned black. There were oil drip lines on the stucco walls and a few areas where stones had been broken from the chimney, patio, and a post. They described the procedure for removing stones to replace damaged areas so they would not be “puzzled” in with small pieces. Those areas needed to be rebuilt. Someone glued random stones into the patio and chimney with white apoxy on Friday after 5 pm after I left for dinner. These areas will need to be removed and properly repaired. I contacted an attorney at the suggestion of the stone masons and the staff at Sherman Williams Paint store when I showed them pictures. The staff at Sherman Williams also said the wood should have been dried for 3weeks, even tho it was treated wood. When I texted the contractor that I needed an attorney, he wanted to pressure wash the patio etc and put siding in 2 places and then he would be “finished”. I believe the patio and stonework Will need some significant repairs and the contractor’s liability insurance might need to be explored. I cannot make a further payment until the stone damage has been corrected by a stonework professional and a final figure is fairly negotiated. I don’t think the expense of righting my property damage and getting legal advice to do it is my responsibility."

"The Peak Renovations team did an amazing job on both of our upstairs bathrooms (before and after pics attached). They demo'd, tiled, painted, exchanged fixtures, and fixed existing issues and imperfections. They helped us to add character and value to our otherwise builder grade rooms. We're so happy with the quality of work and will work with them again."

"Keith and brent made the home building experience so easy! Would definitely recommend for any of your home building or remodeling projects."

"John was really a pleasure to do business with. He took a challenging building project (a loft in a cabin with multiple roof angles) and turned it into a space that was even better than what we had imagined. John was very responsive throughout the project, answering all our questions in an easy-to-understand manner. Also, he came when he said he was going to come. He took care to ensure that both the structural and the aesthetic aspects of the remodel were sound and went "above and beyond" by building us a beautiful and unique railing using wood from our property. We would definitely hire him again for future projects."

"Rick and his helper spent 3days making sure the jacks in the crawl space for the foundation were on the right amount of concrete and spaced right. He also examined the ventilation and moisture issues and corrected some air flow. He replaced the plastic that had been bunched up. The inspector said it would be about $1000 to do this and we were happy with the amount.

"We added a new deck and storage room in a very difficult location Paul Ragan lead the whole process from start to finish. He was instrumental in the design, obtained the building permit, and built the addition to match the existing house. He payed close attention to detail of the existing house and made the addition seamlessly fit in. He kept his promised timeline, listened to our ideas, and we are thrilled with the result."

"We hired him to remodel our master bathroom, and we couldn't be happier. Jason was great! He was professional, communicative, and did an amazing job, not to mention, he was just a really nice guy. I would recommend him for any build you need."

"Was easy to hire, showed up on time, work completed and professional and timely manner. Would absolutely use them again for any additional fixes needed."
