"We wholeheartedly recommend A Plus Home Remodeling for any home project. They tackled the ambitious task of modernizing our 1948 residence, delivering a home that is now astonishingly beautiful and virtually unrecognizable. Their extensive work covered every aspect, from the foundation to the roof. Key highlights include a complete roof replacement with new gutters, a redesigned kitchen boasting new cabinets and countertops, and an expansion from two to three bedrooms, now featuring lighted walk-in closets. They also created a spa-like bathroom with new tiles, fixtures, and a striking circular shower, along with a functional walk-in laundry room. Even our porch received an appealing repaving, and a previously flooded basement was cleverly converted into usable, accessible storage. Throughout the process, their team demonstrated exceptional quality, professionalism, and respect for our home and schedule. We especially valued their transparent communication, detailed explanations of each phase, and willingness to adapt ideas to achieve our desired outcome. The stunning final result is a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality work and service."

"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."
Proper planning prevents delays during home building. Verify your zoning requirements early and check your flood zone status before designing. Obtain a soil evaluation promptly if your lot requires a septic system. Schedule framing and roofing work during the spring or fall to avoid extreme summer heat. Avoid pouring concrete during winter freezes. Always build wait times into your schedule, as NC building inspections experience high demand during busy seasons.
