"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"If I could give more stars I would! Mark installed a beautiful wood tongue and groove ceiling for us. Performed kitchen tear out and prepared it for new cabinets and appliances, painted cathedral living room and kitchen. and repaired our gutters. We were extremely pleased with his work. He'll be coming back to work on floor support when our new garage doors arrive and to install a new front door. He's very reliable, professional and priced reasonably."

"We needed to have a tile floor in a bathroom that had stained grout (was put in during the 60's) and a bedroom that had stained carpet replaced with laminate flooring and shoe round included around the edge. This was especially hard in the bathroom where the walls are covered by tile, so the edging could not be nailed in the way they were in the bedroom. All looks great and is holding up well. Also, turned out the tiles that were popping up in the dining room had been put on using wall adhesive rather than the proper type of flooring adhesive needed. The guys were able to pop loose the tiles that needed to be replaced and grind off the old adhesive so they could be reused. I only had to get/use 4 new replacement tiles because they were successful in reusing every tile that was not broken before they arrived. They did a great job getting the grout to match and putting the 4 new tiles in an unobtrusive spot. Since these tiles had been put in during the 80's, we were not able to get matching tiles, so that really makes a big difference to us. Saved us a ton of money. I needed to separate a upper and lower level of a house to create a rental, and Handyman Xpress helped me find a simple, inexpensive way to make the current door work so that both halves of the house are private when the tenants choose, and they have access to both parts when the parties are in agreement. Love the convenience and flexibility. They also helped by cutting a ceiling tile to fit a closet ceiling that was missing it's ceiling. I had not scheduled that last part ahead of time, but they cheerfully added it to the to-do list and finished it quickly and it looks great."

"We initially called Mr Hargrove in August for an estimate on painting of the exterior trim, gutters, and around windows and doors, etc. on our two story brick house.  We were very impressed with his punctual call return and his punctual arrival for an estimate.  We needed the house pressure washed and scraped all around as the house had been neglected by the previous owners and needed serious work.  We liked his plan and his estimate and we decided on the spot to hire him and his company as there were many other things that were also going to be needed and we thought "this was our guy for anything that we need"  His crew showed up on the date and time specified and went to work immediately washing and scraping the exterior of the house.  They also had to remove all the storm windows for proper scraping and painting.  It was pretty hot, but his guys showed up every day and did a fantastic job.  We were and still are VERY impressed with the job they did and would hire them again in a minute!  During one particular nasty rain storm we noticed a serious leak in a couple of rooms and told James about it and he went right up on the roof and found where it had leaked and within the next few days, he had put on a new roof on that part of the house and it has not leaked since!  And the new shutters they installed look great!!  We have also had two of our neighbors stop by commenting on how good our house looks and wanted to know who did it and we happily gave them his number!  We are new to this area and we feel very fortunate to have found James Hargrove and his home improvement company and definitely plan on using them again!!

Home Building questions, answered by experts

When evaluating previous home building work, watch for persistent interior dampness, mold, or white mineral deposits on foundation walls, which point to poor moisture management in Highlands. Inspect for uneven floors, sticking doors, and diagonal drywall cracks, as these signal foundation movement or undersized framing. Check for ice damming on the roof and missing permit documentation, as these issues require immediate attention to keep your home safe.

Helpful?

Foundation waterproofing and roof flashing are highly sensitive to errors during home building in NC. Improperly installed exterior drainage planes or unvented crawlspaces quickly lead to severe moisture damage and structural rot. Contractors must also strictly follow snow load framing requirements and properly engineer septic systems, as shortcuts in these areas result in catastrophic failures that are incredibly difficult to fix later.

Helpful?

Unexpected expenses during home building projects arise from site preparation, such as removing bedrock or engineering foundations for steep slopes. In NC, installing engineered septic systems, deep wells, and underground propane tanks will add to your budget. You must also account for material delivery premiums, specialized equipment needs, and weather-related delays, as the heavy annual rainfall and mountain terrain complicate construction logistics.

Helpful?

Local professionals prioritize site conditions and foundation work first when performing home building tasks in Highlands. They address geotechnical assessments, grading, and deep footings before moving to moisture management. Installers treat roof flashing, housewrap, and waterproofing as critical structural steps. Next, contractors focus on framing for heavy snow loads, followed by mechanical rough-ins and thorough air sealing to combat the demanding mountain climate.

Helpful?

After finishing your home building project, obtain and permanently keep your final occupancy certificate and septic system documents. During the first wet season in Highlands, monitor your basement, crawlspace, and foundation for proper drainage. You should also inspect exterior sealants, gutters, and deck connections after the first winter to ensure the heavy rainfall and freeze-thaw cycles have not compromised your new structure.
