Get matched with top subcontractors in Arden, NC

"First phase completed on time, on budget, and of excellent quality. Chris provided extra value with his design suggestions. Second phase was delayed due to production issue on custom doors. Chris let us know immediately of the delay, and made sure that they did not begin until the doors were in his possession. He then, as promised, had the wall removed and the doors installed within one day. He works with a tight group of subcontractors, so we always knew who was coming and when. Since the second project overlapped with the onset of Covid 19, that has been especially important to us. He limited the number of people coming in, and their contact with us, and all observed handwashing and social distancing while here. We would highly recommend Chris to others. His design ideas are excellent, and he and his crew know how to implement them, so that the cost matches the estimate."

"Project went very well - we're excited about the house that we used to enjoy as a weekend retreat but now see as more of a real home that someday might be full-time. Rick and Josh and the subcontractors they work with do high quality work. Rick came up with a couple of design change suggestions that resulted in a beautiful place. One of them - to open the wall between the kitchen and the sun room, providing a breakfast bar in between - "made" the project. What used to be a cool place, but dark and closed in, is now an open, light, inviting space. We were across the country when Rick first imagined this change while replacing the 'offending' wall - he rearranged the construction schedule around our trip, enabling us to get back in time to agree to the change. Although we're not highly skilled we wanted to do as much as we could to contribute sweat equity to this project, and Rick was willing to work with us on a cost-plus basis. We saved some money by doing a lot of the destruction and cleanup as well as painting and some of the finish work (molding). Rick and Josh were patient working with us and very willing and able in teaching us techniques. We mostly live on the other side of the state and also traveled out of state for about two months just as the project started. Rick has been very good throughout at maintaining communications via phone, text and email. We were pleased with his communications and also, as he got to know us, his ability to distinguish which decisions to consult with us on and which to make on his own. We knew going in that the total cost would exceed any estimate (as all construction does), an issue exacerbated here by working with an old house that had issues we couldn't know until we got in there. Rick provided very detailed information on costs throughout the process, and we're very pleased that he was fair and honest all the way through. We're very happy that we chose Carolina Carpenter for this work, will call Rick again if we ever do another project in the area, and highly recommend the company."

"Needed GC to get certificate of occupancy after Hurricane Helene. Jess and team helped us cross the finish line. Couldn’t have done it without them."

"Paul is as good as it gets. He does exactly what he says he is going to do with everything on schedule. The subcontractors he uses are amazing as well. His years of experience and obvious love of what he does shows in a completed flawless room. I chose him because of Angie’s List and am glad I did. Honesty, integrity, professionalism, and a great personality go a long way. If you go with this company, you will not t be disappointed"

"Great! Trevor and his crew are quite competent and professional. They were in good communication throughout and this resulted in our expectations being satisfactorily met."

"We've used K&B several times over the years, and we're so grateful to have found contractors we trust. These guys are honest, communicative, show up when they say they will, and thoughtful. They not only do amazing work, they're just good people. Most recently, they did major repairs on our home after damage from Hurricane Helene. One deck was completely destroyed, the other had extensive damage, the roof needed repairs, and our fence. It was a lot of work. I'll never forget their care and concern, and their meticulous work on our home. We knew we were in good hands during one of the most stressful times of our lives. Thank you, K&B!!"

"Edgar and his crew did a great job. This was the second time we used them, as the first job we had for them involved the removal of an old deck and construction of a new one. They did excellent work, so we brought them back out to install two awning windows for us along with several other small jobs we needed done. They work fast, are very communicative, and do great work. We highly recommend them."

"I hired Cransten a month ago and was super pleased with their responiveness and ease of booking. It is so hard to find a reliable contractor these days. We had a punch list of items to complete and they got everything done with high quality and in a timely manner. "

"John Kent is a master craftsmen and jack of all trades. John and team, rebuilt a composite material deck, while both strengthening the support structures and creating beautiful framing with cocktail rails and a wire cable system. In addition, John re-landscaped our hill steps, replaced floor moldings, cemented a patio, and corrected drainage issues!"

"Not only is he very knowledgeable and skilled, he is very good at details and the work he does is absolutely beautiful! Makes sure work is done correctly and to customer satisfaction. Reliable and does what he promises."
