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."

"Absolutely Fantastic I have worked with many wonderful contractors over the years but Rick Cox (dba Carolina Carpenter) is at the top of the list. He and his son, Josh, are extremely talented, resourceful and get the job done at a reasonable cost. They and the electrician, plumber and other professionals they use are delightful to work with and of the highest honesty and integrity. In June 2018 my wife and I purchased a house in Connestee Falls, Brevard, NC which was beautifully located but in need a great deal of work. After interviewing a number of contractors, we chose Rick because of his directness, obvious competence and easy manner. The renovation required complete gutting of the core areas, including the removal of several walls and a faux stone wood-burning fireplace. Rick started while we were still in NY and when we arrived in mid-August, he had neatly removed the fireplace. In the following 11 months, he replaced it with gas burning fireplaces in the living room and adjoining Master Bedroom (a very difficult thing to do in the space we had), expanded the rear hall, closed several exterior windows, installed 4 exterior windows and sliding doors, re-floored, re-sided and painted most of the common areas, rebuilt and upgraded the stairway to the lower level and put in a fantastic new kitchen. The project cost six figures and encountered many setbacks as removal of walls and floors exposed poor electrical work and many other preexisting deficiencies. However, in each case, Rick, Josh and his associates developed creative solutions and, as we went along, they helped us refine our vision of what we wanted so that the finished product far exceeded our initial expectations. With his fine carpentry expertise, Rick provided a new beamed ceiling and log mantle and wood work around the new living room fireplace which is itself the artistic focal point of the room. He also transformed an eye-sore half wall into a beautiful built-in cabinet which is integral to the new dining area. Rick and Josh work quietly and efficiently and are upfront about timelines and their availability. In fact, when the demands of a difficult new client caused them to fall behind the timeline they set, they worked on weekends to get current. You would be fortunate to have Rick and Josh working with you. We were. They came as workmen but stayed as friends.

"They were a great communicator, very timely and delivered a superior product"

"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. "

"They did a great job, easy to work with, quick and efficient, and would hire again."

"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."
