AJT Construction Inc
About us
I grew up working in construction from a young age. I graduated from NCSU in 2006, managed my dad's company for 2 years and founded AJT Construction, Inc. in 2008. From day 1 we've gone the extra mile to provide quality work and excellent customer service. We've done a good bit of remodeling and have built houses in the past, but as we've grown, Exterior Renovations have become our primary focus. We are set up to replace siding, roofs, windows/doors, decks/screened porches, and gutters.

"Thanks for the review - it was great working with you all!"
"Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to write the review. It really means a lot! I enjoyed working on the project with you all and the uniqueness of installing a full board and batten house. I'm really glad we were able to create the look you all were going for. Take Care!"
"Thank you for the kind words! It was a pleasure working for you and your family and hope you all enjoy the fresh look and peace of mind of the new siding package and roof repair. Take Care!"
"Thanks so much for your review! I'm glad I got to meet you folks and I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the other contractor. I'm really thankful for your willingness to share your overall experience. I want to be completely transparent with anyone else who might read this as well. We're rarely the cheapest or most expensive price. Usually we're in the middle to lower end of pricing. By providing a service and product where the value far exceeds the price, our customers get the satisfaction of knowing they get quality work at a competitive rate . Thank you again for starting this conversation and for letting folks know about your experience and how you would have chosen us as your contractor if you could do it over again. I look forward to working with you in the future!"
"Thanks so much for taking the time to fill out the review and for the kind words Mr. [Member Name Removed]! It was a pleasure working on your home. Hope you and your family have a great rest of the holiday season. Sincerely, Adam"
1. The quoting process took about an hour to tour around the inside and outside of the house, determining the age of the roof and any damage. Adam arrived when he said he would, so I did not have to wait.
2. We followed up with another 30-45 minute meeting a few days later to go over the quote and some of the options I had for color and style of shingle and gutter. The quote was complete in terms of estimates on line items that were a given (amount of shingles required) and those that would be variable (number of sheets of plywood that need to be replaced, which can't all be counted until the roof is off), so I had a very good idea of my total cost up front. The cost matched the verbal, informal quote I got from another contractor.
3. Adam worked with me to schedule the work while I was out of town with my family (roof work makes for bad naps for babies), and was very responsive by e-mail for any questions I had.
4. When the work was finished, I followed up with Adam about 5 mostly-cosmetic items by e-mail with photos. He responded the same day and had the items resolved in 2-3 days.
Overall, I've been very happy with the experience. A roof is an expensive piece of work no matter who does it, so I'm glad it was done with the quality demonstrated by AJT Construction.
"Thanks! I'm glad we could match up the schedules to keep the baby in mind. Thank you for the work and feel free to call me anytime. Take care!"
"Thanks for the work and the review! It was a pleasure working for you and I'm really glad everything went well and to your liking."
This construction went on with us living in the house, including an elderly dog and toddler. AJT made living here as easy on us as possible by keeping sheeting up to limit the dust and working quickly so the toddler could have back his playroom.
I'd like to note that Richard had some wonderful ideas that helped to make our space even more usable---he suggested turning some dead storage space into a small room for my toddler.
"It's great to hear how happy you all are with the work and the new space. I always look forward to projects that are able to enhance the family's quality of life. So great to have met you and to be a part of that! Thanks."
"Thanks for the work and for the review. You all chose a great color and the house looks great!"
We ran into a number of obstacles in the process of getting the project started including the need to have the main property assessed for square footage to allow the construction, multiple permitting issues (and delays for no reason, bureaucracy, etc), and major attitude from Duke Energy (if you run into issues with engineers there...push back, some people apparently need to feel like they are worth something by pushing others around. Don't take it, ask for another engineer and require they follow their own rules and regulations). Once we broke ground (besides issues with weather) things were SMOOTH AS BUTTER and I never ever had to worry about what was going on at home when I should have been worried about my very fragile patients. When Adam had questions about my preferences, I would get an email in a timely fashion asking me to make choices of fixtures etc. I didn't honestly care to make exact choices, so I just gave ideas and Adam met or exceeded my expectations with every choice he made. I was able to visit providers for large investments (like cabinets) and make selections, but never had to do more than I wanted. This was all based on my preference for level of involvement and I could have been more or less involved as I pleased....but felt confident that Adam had my best interest at heart (not just most efficient cost for him) at every turn.
His construction was conscientious to the point of adding switches to allow turning lights on and off more easily, adding shelves into closets with custom turned edges, and succeeding at my wish to match moulding and style as closely to the main house as possible (without using custom or offensively expensive non-standard options). Corners were never cut....everything was done to highest possible standards. Adam finished all the final issues for getting the construction approved and handed me a turn-key garage apartment of my dreams that will ensure financial stability and good return for years to come. We actually debated moving into this structure and renting the main house out, we loved it so much!! I couldn't be more pleased. Literally. Even after construction was finished (and all financial gain for him had ended), Adam has helped me get in touch rapidly with folks who did installations when a heater had a part malfunction from the manufacturer. I am certain that Adam takes pride in his work and believes in helping his clients and those that work for him, not just running a profitable business.
I can not recommend Adam and AJT construction more enthusiastically. If I ever have another project to take on, I will use Adam and AJT without any doubt. You would do yourself a disservice if you did not at least invite him out to provide an estimate for your project. Best.
"I couldn't be more happy that this project worked out so well for you. You are the reason why we do what we do. From the design phase to building, this was a fun project to work on and it was a pleasure to work for you. Thank you for letting me be a part of the experience. I would be happy to work with you on any future projects!"
"Please accept my sincerest apologies for your sub-par experience. I was extremely ill at the time the work was performed and the team lead was doing triple duty to cover performing the work, writing up the contract, and estimating other work. This would account for his lack of presence on the job. I don't mention this to make excuses, but to say that I am currently putting measures into place that will prevent this from occurring again. I should have made contact with you following my absence to see how everything went and that's my fault for not doing so. I took a look at the contract and it doesn't make mention of us doing any paint work, but we usually like to state it specifically when it's not included. I will be contacting you and please be assured that I will do whatever it takes to make this right. Thank you for the honest review so that I am aware of the issue and able to correct it."
"Thanks for the review and for hiring us to work on your home. I'm really glad everything came out just like you'd hoped. I look forward to the future projects and we'll be here when you need us!"
We recently completed a walk-up attic finish with the help of Adam and his team. I can say without hesitation that Adam is the best in the Triangle. Our project was completed on time and it is flawless -- a beautiful addition to our home!!
Some quick background: as part of the upfront planning, we interviewed dozens of contractors of varying sizes. The lack of people we "clicked" with was frustrating -- it seemed like no one would really listen to us.
When we met Adam, he listened more than spoke -- he really took the time to understand our vision and needs for the project. We could also quickly tell that he means what he says.
We had several email exchanges with questions as we finalized the contract, and Adam was very patient throughout this whole process. When it came to start building, the crews that came into our house were always polite, and they treated my family and home with respect.
After working with him for a couple of months, we know that he is diligent, focused, incredibly responsive, trustworthy, smart -- everything you would want in a general contractor. Those same attributes applied to Richard, our project's foreman, who we also grew to trust like a family member.
We appreciated the efficiency and professionalism so much that they earned more business from us as the project progressed. We had Adam/Richard help us put the carpet down and paint the room -- which we were initially planning to handle on our own.
A+ all-around.
"Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review and the kind words. I know life is busy and hectic these days so I can't stress enough how much it means to me and the guys. You're right, there were a lot of details to iron out up front and I appreciate your diligence in that regard. You and your husband were great with how you hung in there to work through each item and it certainly paid off with a smooth project to completion. It was a pleasure working for you all. You have an amazing family."
"Thank you for the review. I'm very thankful for the work and the opportunity to work with you. I'm glad everything went well and look forward to future projects. Thanks again."
"Thanks again for the work and for your appreciation of our efforts. I'm glad we could help sure up the outside of your home. Take care and stay warm."
"Thanks for the review! I really felt appreciated at how excited you were with the looks of the repaired home. Thank you for your positive attitude through the whole thing. I know it's not easy to live through something like that. Thank you for allowing us to do the work and the time you spent with us. I hope you get to try another vacation very soon."
"I can't say enough about how much of a pleasure it is to work for you and your husband. Thanks for the review! Take care."
