Sanderling Construction, Inc.

Hal has done a number of projects for my husband and me in the OBX because we can always count on him to follow through. There are too many people in the field in this area who try to work without getting permits or work at their own snails pace around the fishing and surfing season. Hal is NOT one of them. Everything he does is by the book, fairly priced, and timely. It's very hard to find all 3 in a single person here so we consider ourselves VERY lucky to have found him and to have been able to make him a friend through our business adventures as non-resident property owners in the OBX.

Hal was extremely kind, helpful, and honest. He walked me through the quoting process and kept me informed throughout the entire construction. As out of town property owners it was very nice to not have to chase down our contractor for updates. We will definitely be going back to Hal for future needs.

I had never worked with Sanderling until finding them on Angi. Other than some delays in supplies, the project went better than I could have ever expected.

Hal, the proprietor of Sanderling Construction, is everything you want in a contractor but don’t often find. He’s honest, kind, knowledgeable, communicative, fair, and trustworthy. Even with his decades of experience, he has a youthful energy. His crew is hardworking, respectful, and incredibly skilled. Over all a wonderful experience, which sadly isn’t always the case with renovations and finding dependable experts. Very happy to have found Hal.

Hal Moore and his amazing Sanderling team transformed my old, crumbling oceanfront cottage into a fortified beautiful jewel that I never knew was hiding underneath the dangerously weathered structure and extremely dated interior!. From our very first conversation, I knew not only that Hal had the experience and savvy to preserve and improve the house, but also that I could trust him with a big project I'd have to manage from a distance. Neither of us imagined the ugly surprises that would be uncovered along the way, or the insane supply chain issues and subcontractor shortages that plagued the entire process. The team pulled off multiple miracles, found excellent solutions to SO many challenges...I'm convinced many builders would have been tempted to throw up their hands and walk away. But Hal had a vision of what was possible and he never gave up. I hoped for better protection from the elements and modest interior improvements. I got a virtually new house, inside and out, that surpasses my wildest imaginings and will I'm sure be a treasure not only to me, but to all who vacation there. The exterior is now maintenance-free, extremely solid and lovely; the inside is open, full of light, incredibly functional, cozy and comfortable, with lots of classic Carolina cottage charm. If you're so fortunate as to have Hal Moore consider your project, JUMP on the opportunity! You could not do better.

Worked with me when I changed the project after the first day. I am very happy with the finished product and their adaptability. Thanks

Started out with kitchen remodel, new flooring throughout the house and new shingles on one side of house. Added new doors and trim, new baseboards and window trim. Also had them get rid of popcorn ceilings. They did a fantastic job. The price was less than I anticipated. Hal and his crew are a good bunch to work with. Will definitely call them for future projects.

Hal was very responsive throughout the building planning, estimation and construction process. Hal communicated with us very well, in writing and during discussions. He was able to take our concepts and improve on them, making them better integrated to the existing house and more robust in the harsh OBX environment. He provided creative ideas for improving the end result including making up for some limitations in the orginal home construction. Permitting, construction and resulting certificate of occupancy processes all went very smoothly. We love the end products... a new rear deck with pergola and steps, a re-decked deck with new railings, a new fence surrounding the existing pool and integrated to the existing house, and a bathroom tub and surround rip-out and replacement, as well as other odd and ends.

Sanderling Construction is a outstanding company in every way! From the first time Hal Moore came out to my cottage, he has listened to my job requests, responsive to calls, and extremely helpful working with me on design ideas for a beautiful screen porch, complete with a outdoor surfboard shower, new deck with wrap-around steps, and complete kitchen renovation. His workers pay attention to detail, and did a fantastic job! I highly recommend Sanderling Construction!

Sanderling Construction is an outstanding company to work with for your construction or renovation needs. They did a great job adding a bonus room and bathroom to our beach house, and creating a wonderful enclosed outdoor living area. The Sanderling team does quality work at a fair and reasonable price. Hal is dependable, responsive, and a man of his word. When our room addition was complete with the exception of the mini split installation, I contacted Hal and told him we had family coming down for the weekend and could really use some heat in the room. When the regular installation guy wasn't available, Hal and a couple of his guys showed up on a cold Friday night and worked till midnight ensuring that the mini split was installed and we had the heat we needed. Job well done!!

Only hire people that live on Hatteras Island . Do not hire this company unless you are there everyday to make sure it is done correctly. Its no wonder Hal doesn't remember 2 years ago he never was there... its a good thing he had 2 workers that did our deck...they would be fools to stay with this contractor !!! Maybe he got better 2 years later for Betty & Fred !!

I wanted to add to my comments, now that I have had the time to see the project further, I am extremely impressed with the workmanship of his team! Quality all the way. They left no mess and I feel the craftsmanship of the project was amazing, I am already thinking of my next project for him to complete!!! Super happy with the results!

Sanderling Construction worked with us to make sure we were able to build our dream beach house within a budget we could live with. The work was detailed and the end result was beautiful! They cared about us and delivering for us. They are a class act with great integrity. HIGHLY recommend!

Hal presented himself as an honest, Christian man. All of his contractors were polite and hard working. Not being present during most of the work was a challenge and yes, I would have done several things differently had I been present to make the suggestions. But all in all a great job was done by Hal's crew! It took way longer than we were told and way longer than we expected! But we finally have our gorgeous, sound sided, forever home with the million dollar view! Now that our house is finished, and we've been able to spend time there, we have found numerous things that are wrong and need to be corrected. Quality of work is not as it first appeared. Also I had referred Hal Moore/Sanderling Construction to a few of my neighbors. I have been extremely disappointed with how they were treated and taken advantage of. Very unprofessional!

Sanderling Construction is a wonderful company to work with especially being at a distance from our property. We had a fire destroy our home and Hal walked along with us to guide us through all the issues that came our way. Highly recommend!

We had the unsightly plank removed on our 8 bedroom house. It had rusty nails bleeding through and the paint would always bubble up. It was replaced with new Plank with stainless steel nails and PVC trim. The end result was beautiful. Truly the house looks brand new. There were some hiccups along the way and just when you thought, "well, I'll never see this contractor again", he comes back to make things right. He is a man of his word. I would not hesitate to use him again.

Hal was patient with me when I asked a gazillion questions before and during the kitchen remodel project. We added some things and made a change here and there like hanging a new dining room light fixture, moving a cabinet upstairs instead of putting it back where it was and removing a double door from our sunroom. Hal took this in stride and coordinated everything including helping us decide on a new paint color to complement the new kitchen design. Our finished kitchen (floors, cabinets, countertops and new appliances) is absolutely beautiful. If you are in this area, my husband and I strongly recommend you call Hal at Sanderling Construction. You will not be disappointed!

Hal begged for our job after our home was severely damaged after Hurricane Matthew. Took him a month to find a "new crew," paid for motel rooms for workers without consent, failed to provide accurate invoices, cut corners on craftsmanship, exhibited inappropriate behavior/comments for budget management, and did not pay suppliers despite having funds upfront. We have had to hire an attorney to get back unaccounted for money.

Hal was very honest and took great care of our home. He wanted to make sure he exceeded our expectations. He always showed up on time (and we are not talking "island time"). He scheduled our work around family visits and finished the project right on schedule. He made sure our place was very clean once work was completed. We would hire Hal again for any future renovation work.

They were wonderful, came over on New Years Eve and did a great job. If I could give them a 10 rating - I would.

Hal fixed some hurricane Mathew damage on our house replacing lost siding, and we also had him replace 4 broken casement windows with double hungs. He was prompt, honest, and the price was right. The repairs are better than new. The siding looks great. The windows fit better than originals and the interior carpentry was superior. I plan to use him again for our next project in the spring, and I've recommended him to friends.

solid, helpful, knowledgeable, great work, interested in making sure the project is done the way you want it for readers of this review - please remember, this is the beach, not new york city, relax, don't stress out, the job will be done well - if you are pinching pennies, you get what you pay for - this company works hard to have a solid relationship with you, not hit and run - treat them with care and they return the same

Met with us, gave estimate, crew did job, cleaned up every day and never hardly knew they were here. House looks amazing. And hopefully they will do another job in a few months. Reasonably priced- in line with three other bidders. Knew what I wanted because he listened. GREAT job, great crew!

This is the second time I've used Sanderling Construction, Inc. Hal Moore was great to work with putting on a new roof on my Salvo beach house so when it came time for some more work on the outside of the house I called Hal again and he just completed putting on some new siding, replacing some failed windows etc. He did a great job. I'll be using Sanderling Construction again this fall for some updating to the kitchen and bathrooms.

Efficient and easy to work with. Responsive to questions and concerns
