Get matched with top subcontractors in Swannanoa, NC

"First phase completed on time, on budget, and of excellent quality. Chris provided extra value with his design suggestions. Second phase was delayed due to production issue on custom doors. Chris let us know immediately of the delay, and made sure that they did not begin until the doors were in his possession. He then, as promised, had the wall removed and the doors installed within one day. He works with a tight group of subcontractors, so we always knew who was coming and when. Since the second project overlapped with the onset of Covid 19, that has been especially important to us. He limited the number of people coming in, and their contact with us, and all observed handwashing and social distancing while here. We would highly recommend Chris to others. His design ideas are excellent, and he and his crew know how to implement them, so that the cost matches the estimate."

"Absolutely Fantastic I have worked with many wonderful contractors over the years but Rick Cox (dba Carolina Carpenter) is at the top of the list. He and his son, Josh, are extremely talented, resourceful and get the job done at a reasonable cost. They and the electrician, plumber and other professionals they use are delightful to work with and of the highest honesty and integrity. In June 2018 my wife and I purchased a house in Connestee Falls, Brevard, NC which was beautifully located but in need a great deal of work. After interviewing a number of contractors, we chose Rick because of his directness, obvious competence and easy manner. The renovation required complete gutting of the core areas, including the removal of several walls and a faux stone wood-burning fireplace. Rick started while we were still in NY and when we arrived in mid-August, he had neatly removed the fireplace. In the following 11 months, he replaced it with gas burning fireplaces in the living room and adjoining Master Bedroom (a very difficult thing to do in the space we had), expanded the rear hall, closed several exterior windows, installed 4 exterior windows and sliding doors, re-floored, re-sided and painted most of the common areas, rebuilt and upgraded the stairway to the lower level and put in a fantastic new kitchen. The project cost six figures and encountered many setbacks as removal of walls and floors exposed poor electrical work and many other preexisting deficiencies. However, in each case, Rick, Josh and his associates developed creative solutions and, as we went along, they helped us refine our vision of what we wanted so that the finished product far exceeded our initial expectations. With his fine carpentry expertise, Rick provided a new beamed ceiling and log mantle and wood work around the new living room fireplace which is itself the artistic focal point of the room. He also transformed an eye-sore half wall into a beautiful built-in cabinet which is integral to the new dining area. Rick and Josh work quietly and efficiently and are upfront about timelines and their availability. In fact, when the demands of a difficult new client caused them to fall behind the timeline they set, they worked on weekends to get current. You would be fortunate to have Rick and Josh working with you. We were. They came as workmen but stayed as friends.

"I've used cransten for two major projects now, first a partial basement finish and now installing built-in shelves and fireplace in my living room. Super super easy to work with, reasonably priced, the contractors they send out are communicative and professional. I can't say enough great things. I'll be back again when I'm ready for the rest of the basement to be finished."

"Great! Trevor and his crew are quite competent and professional. They were in good communication throughout and this resulted in our expectations being satisfactorily met."

"Excellent work! Communications with client very good! Friendly and courteous people!"

"Needed deck footers and supports redone on a 12x20 deck that my original contractor did incorrectly and failed inspection. KB did a great job of correcting and installing the correct footers and we passed our inspection with flying colors."

"They did a great job, easy to work with, quick and efficient, and would hire again."

"Andy and his team worked fast and they were thorough. I had them place crown moulding in our home and they did a great job. The pricing was very reasonable and I will definitely hire them again when and if another project comes up for us."

"Not only is he very knowledgeable and skilled, he is very good at details and the work he does is absolutely beautiful! Makes sure work is done correctly and to customer satisfaction. Reliable and does what he promises."

"The owner was very professional! Right on time, every time! They came out, provided a quote, was hired shortly after, and the entire job was done in 3 days! I highly recommend them!"
