"Patio started out good. Work got sloppy. After many attempts to get it done correctly, I had to get someone to come back and redo the grout. We also had to get some pavers leveled out. Much much money spent on yard as well and work done looks like something I could have done myself. Much money wasted."

A premier flooring company in the Carolinas, MyNewFloor.com was founded by a talented, design savvy professional with 15 years of experience in designing and installing a variety of flooring products. Our company is built on the principles of honesty, quality, craftsmanship, and a sincere effort to provide 100% customer satisfaction! You can be sure that only our professional, knowledgeable and experienced installers will complete all the work for you. We do not sub-contract any of our projects.

"I don't recommend this company at all. They call themselves professional installers and have quality products. They installed Mohawk Ultrawood floor at our home saying that it is a premium grade product and does not make any noise/sound even being a floating floor. I chose their product after getting their assurance about the feel and the noise but after it is installed it makes a hollow sound when we walk on the floor. After installation, they mentioned it does make a sound when we walk since it is a floating floor. They hid the facts and lied to me to sell their product. Their work is also not professional. I have to call them multiple times after the installation is done for repairs. They left gaps in multiple places and damaged walls while laying the floor. On top of that, they have filed a lien on my property since I was holding their payment while negotiating the quality of the wood and the installation issues. Even though I told them I was ready to pay the remaining balance amount and requested them to address the floor noise issues, instead of fixing the issues they fielded the lien on my property and forced me to make the payment without addressing the issues that had resulted due to their product/installation defects. I got staircase replaced with oak wood and that job was also not done as promised. It makes a cracky sound when we step on the stairs. I made the complaint about the noise and the response from the installer is that our steps were not installed properly by the builder. They find all possible reasons to prove your existing floor/stairs are bad. There was a broken step under the carpet earlier and installer installed the new stair tread on top of it just like that and did not even bring that to our notice. The frame underneath the oak tread made the oak tread sink and to fix that issue again we had to pay to the flooring company. The stain that we got on the stair tread is also not done professional way. We did choose almost close matching with the floor (Hickory wood) but the polishing guy hired by this company could not get it exactly what we chose. The company declined to correct that issue too. There are multiple issues with their products, service and installation. I spent $23,000 for the project hoping I would have peace of mind after the installation but since the day after installation everyday morning when I stepped on the floor, I felt like I should have not gotten this new floor at all. My old floor was 2000 times better than this new one. I don't recommend this company and I have already circulated my feedback in my community where I live and in my neighborhood and with friends and family. I strongly DON'T recommend this company. They promise several things and speak sweet words until they get your contract signed. Once you sign the contract, their tone changes. This is based on my real experience and if anyone wants to see their work in real, you can visit our place to verify their work, if you wish to."

We provide custom remodeling especially interior renovations and larger projects, like additions, porches or kitchens, often include multi-trades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, etc,) which we schedule and coordinate project management of the complete process. We have a professional team of craftsman and been working in the Charlotte Metro area for over 40 years (since 1979).

"Terrible to work with.Took much longer to build than was quoted. Concrete inspection failed twice. As a result the floor is not level and is out of square. Framing inspection failed. To save costs, we said we would stain the wood. We thought all of the wood was provided which we stained. Then more wood was brought in which they installed without first letting us stain it. We had to stain the main beam once it was installed because of their poor communication. Framers removed the attaching house roof & left it uncovered. It rained that night and we had rain in our kitchen and living room. Ceiling & walls had to be redone. Painter they hired was a poor communicator. Never came when he said he would. When he did come, he managed to paint our kitchen curtains and painted shut one of the ceiling kitchen vents. Left his equipment for days in our porch area, kept saying he would be by to pick it up. The only time Fred came by was to pick up payments, never checked the quality of work done by his employees. We could go on, but there was not much good to report about this contractor. Stay away from!"

The Earthscape Company is a locally owned, full service, landscaping company serving the Charlotte area since 2002. We have made it our passion to assist our commercial and residential clients in lending beauty to their outdoor spaces.

"I couldn’t be happier with the transformation of my courtyard! Once I requested a quote, the communication was prompt and an appointment was scheduled within just a few days. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process. They really listened to my vision for a low-maintenance design, suggesting the perfect combination of easy-care plants and zero-maintenance rock bedding. Jim was especially thorough in ensuring everything met our expectations. When I requested a more mature shrub than the one originally delivered, it was swapped out the very same day. They also checked in throughout the installation to confirm the project was on track with what I had envisioned. Start to finish, this company exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping services!"

Express Sunrooms, was created with you - the homeowner, in mind. We wanted to create a home improvement company and improve it with our unique hands on approach to offer you the best contracting experience with affordable prices. We believe we have accomplished this! Express Sunrooms, has maintained the lowest overhead system in the industry since day one. Therefore, our customers get quality products, hands on service and fair prices every time. Express Sunrooms', mission is the same today as when we first started – to provide quality projects backed with a lifetime warranty at fair prices creating a great customer experience while maintaining our exclusive "no pay guarantee."

"My husband and I met with the owner of this company, Todd, in March. We agreed to have a sunroom built on our existing deck. First, there was a problem with getting a building permit (no fault of ours). Todd had an engineer come out and get further measurements and we were told they would be submitted to the city for permit. Needless to say, we have had a hard time getting in touch with Todd and cannot get any information. Here we are three months later and nothing has happened. The last text correspondence was on a Thursday (June 6) and he said he would be in touch with us the following day before 5. Today is June 17, and still have not heard from him. The customer service is terrible and we would not recommend this company to anyone."

"We’re very happy we chose Matt and Tartaglia Renovations for our primary bath renovation. It was a big job—removing the original 1960s bathroom and expanding the space for a larger shower and more functional layout. Matt and his team were up for the challenge, helping us map out all the details to bring our vision to life. They paid attention to small things, like tile alignment, to achieve the modern look we wanted. When changes came up, Matt was communicative, transparent, and always kind. He addressed any questions or concerns quickly and thoroughly. The whole team were very considerate of our home and mindful of the other renovations we had going on. The best part is that the end result is a bathroom we absolutely love. We’d choose Tartaglia Renovations again without hesitation. They've definitely earned our trust."

FAQs for second story addition building service projects in Charlotte, 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.
