"David is hands down the best contractor I've ever worked with! He has a background in engineering and it shows. My home's driveway was severely damaged by Helene (we live up in the mountains near Swannanoa, NC) and we had a mass of earth precariously perched above our home. I was very nervous it could continue sliding into our home. In addition to this, where our road had collapsed, it had become dangerous to pass with a car. David and his team were able to assess the damage and develop a thorough, well-explained plan for repairing this road damage. We were able to build a retaining wall and reinforce the bank adjacent to our road. He even re-graveled our driveway at no additional cost because his trucks were unable to access our property due to sandy roads. The work was professional and of very high quality. While he was working on the road repairs I also had him check our foundation to see if things had shifted during the hurricane. David was able to identify some bowing/cracking and suggested a repair with steel bracing. We agreed to those repairs and while working on this he noticed our decking bolts had come undone. David then went around both our main home and an ADU to check the bolts/nuts were tightened down on all exterior structures. This was going beyond and above by a wide margin and showed how much David cares about doing the right thing and helping people above all else. I cannot recommend David enough both professionally and personally. He's a wonderful human who does excellent work and I will absolutely work with him again in the future! -Andrew"

Specializing in decks and remodeling we can install appliances,doors,tubs also offer excavator warm and tree trimming and removal

"It went great! He showed up the day he said he would, completed his work in a timely manner, and did a great job. He is a very down to earth guy, easy to talk to, and work with. His prices were fair. He completed everything I asked, and did it the way I wanted, except one or two small things he changed, because the way I had envisioned it was not feasible because of longevity of the project. His changes meant I would be able to enjoy it for years to come. Also, some things I didn't quite know how I wanted done, so we sat down and I gave him a vague idea of what I wanted and he made suggestions until we came up with something I liked. Overall, I had a very positive experience and will be using him again anytime I need a service he offers."

We offer the best quality workmanship in all phases of repairs, renovations and home improvements. We are hard working, honest, dependable and on time.We champion for the elderly and our friends with special needs. We tend to work mostly for homeowners rather than builders, as this cuts the homeowners cost on average by 15%. We also go the extra mile in quality control and stand behind our work. The other guys warranty usually lasts until your check clears. We offer free estimates and welcome our potential customers to obtain others for comparison but feel the customer also needs to consider the quality of work that will be done. Each job is different and are based on labor charges with material costs to be added. Materials are not marked up. The customer pays only for the materials that are used. Any unused materials are either left with the customer or returned to our vendor. If materials are returned to our vendor, the customer is given the credit for those returned items and are not charged for any of it. In most situations, we do not ask for any money up front. Consultations are with the homeowner before, during and after any job. We do not use subcontractors on any of our work. Depending on what the emergency is, we are available for our established customers.
