"Hired a professional to install 2 hand rails for my parents. One was installed on the front porch brick steps and one on the back porch brick steps. They arrived on time, installed both handrails quickly and safely. Handrails are sturdy, and now my parents lives are that much safer. Would recommend."
"Carlos is everything you could ask for in a contractor & was very fast to respond to questions (even answered & coordinated work while on vacation). Project turned out great and was done in a very timely manner. We are very happy with the finished product."
"I've been a NC licensed contractor for 20+ yrs and had more than a few subcontractors promise you the world and leave much to be desired in the end, but not Antonio Remodeling. They show up when they tell you and do the high quality work you're envisioning without complaints. Old-school craftsmanship (and I know it when I see it) these guys do great work. I def plan to keep using them on our projects. I only wish I'd found them sooner!"
"Statesville Masonry was great find! The owner is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I immediately felt comfortable with him and had the utmost confidence in the work he and his team would do and they did not disappoint! Our patio is beautiful. Statesville Masonry's price was very reasonable as well. Between that, their references from other jobs and their professionalism it was a no brainer. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again in the future for other jobs."

"I highly recommend Julian to anyone seeking a professional, competent and caring interior designer. Julian is a talented professional who coordinated every aspect of the redesign and was a joy with which to work. Julian was there each step of the way to supervise all of the subcontractors involved in the job. She was conscientious about making sure the redesign met my desires and that I was pleased after the selections had been made and installed. Julian has great sources I never could have found on my own. In addition, she never deviated from our discussed budget or made me feel pressured in any way. My husband and I love all the changes Julian has made to our home and plan to use her again in the future. "
"They showed up on time, were professional and courteous, and performed a thorough clean of all of our gutters. This included getting debris and branches off of the our roof and roof line and bagging up and disposing of the leaves and debris that came out of the gutters."
Dwayne and his crew did a great job on the porch. We was very impressed with the detail of the work. The porch looks amazing. They stayed on schedule and within our budget. I give DLB construction 5 stars. Without a doubt top notch Thank you.
"The lift works amazing. Jose did a great job in installing both lifts. He also cleaned it up well and hid the wires. I would highly recommend his services."

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.
