At Instyle Charlotte you can find something for every budget. We have on hand designers able to help the customer achieve the look that best fit their lifestyle. Instyle is the only Charlotte Dealer for Artistic Tile. At team Instyle you will not have to worry about a total "stranger" showing up at your door and being in your home because everyone here has worked for this company for at least the past 5 years and more. Instyle is also family and locally owned.

"Unprofessional! Use World Stone instead. Time from template to installation is longer than average. Vein matching quality was poor which generated multiple requests for template revision. The templates they provided for approval frequently had backward/upside-down pieces that required correction. Did not return phone calls/emails in a reasonable timeframe. Dented new vanity with installation. Did not use the sinks available as instructed during installation and did not include drill holes in templates, so they accidentally drilled 3 holes for each faucet instead on 1. When they had to correct this error by re-fabricating another slab, they created excessive construction delay by forcing me to re-template another virtually identical quartz slab. At the end of my project, I needed a 3” x 7” countertop side splash revised to a 3” x 11” piece due to a construction change. I tried to pay them to do this. They flat out refused and forced me to go to another fabricator, who was kind enough to generate this piece for me from a remnant for $37. I would not recommend this business!"

Family owned. Additional contact names - Ronald Crump & Margaret Godwin.

"I hired Crump and Company in December and gave them a $1000 deposit to install a glass enclosure on a shower. Jamie, the head guy, had to have the deposit to order everything. Last week on 2/21/25, he canceled the install for the 5th time, claiming that the parts weren't in yet. I asked for my deposit back and he told me that he would gladly return my money. He has yet to do so"

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Cornelius, NC

For many homeowners, building up is worth the expense because it provides the extra bedrooms or living areas that can’t be accommodated within the existing footprint. A larger, updated home often commands a higher resale price, recouping a sizable share of the project cost while allowing you to stay in the neighborhood you love. Run the numbers with a real estate agent and contractor to ensure the expected return and day-to-day benefits align with your goals.

Whether it makes more sense to build up or out depends on your lot, budget, and local code. Building up preserves yard space and involves less foundation work, but you may need to vacate the home during construction. Building out avoids staircases and can proceed while you stay put; however, it encroaches on the yard and may face setback limits. Compare both options with your contractor before making a decision.

A structural engineer will first inspect the existing foundation for cracks, footings, and load capacity. Depending on the findings, the crew may pour new concrete footings, install steel or concrete piers, add reinforced beams, or tie additional rebar into the slab. These upgrades redistribute the weight of the new floor and bring the structure up to code. Your contractor will outline the specific reinforcement plan and timeline once the engineering report is complete.
