"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"They did a good job, but it took two men 6.5 hours to do the house and driveway. I had it done previously by one man in under 2 hours. They charged $520 for the job which is ridiculous. I have since received 6 quotes, all for under $130. Wish I had done that before hiring them but had used them in the past with no issues. Definitely will not use again unless I can get a flat rate up front for any future services."

"We initially called Mr Hargrove in August for an estimate on painting of the exterior trim, gutters, and around windows and doors, etc. on our two story brick house.  We were very impressed with his punctual call return and his punctual arrival for an estimate.  We needed the house pressure washed and scraped all around as the house had been neglected by the previous owners and needed serious work.  We liked his plan and his estimate and we decided on the spot to hire him and his company as there were many other things that were also going to be needed and we thought "this was our guy for anything that we need"  His crew showed up on the date and time specified and went to work immediately washing and scraping the exterior of the house.  They also had to remove all the storm windows for proper scraping and painting.  It was pretty hot, but his guys showed up every day and did a fantastic job.  We were and still are VERY impressed with the job they did and would hire them again in a minute!  During one particular nasty rain storm we noticed a serious leak in a couple of rooms and told James about it and he went right up on the roof and found where it had leaked and within the next few days, he had put on a new roof on that part of the house and it has not leaked since!  And the new shutters they installed look great!!  We have also had two of our neighbors stop by commenting on how good our house looks and wanted to know who did it and we happily gave them his number!  We are new to this area and we feel very fortunate to have found James Hargrove and his home improvement company and definitely plan on using them again!!

"In September of this year my wife and I bought a home near Cedar Mountain. We had
a few things that we wanted to get done to the house before we moved in. From
Florida we researched contractors as well as through friends in our new
community. I was not prepared for the casual attitude of many of the workmen I
spoke with. Out of all of them, there was only one who showed up and did the
work as promised, Mr. Wade Morris. Despite having to drive and extraordinarily
long way to our home, Wade arrived every morning at 8:30 until the job was
done. I had to return to Florida but I left Wade a key to finish up. When I got
back to NC I was pleased to find the house clean and the work done to a high
standard of professionalism. Little extras, like painting the bedroom
baseboards (which was not part of our agreement) made me appreciate Wade and
Gaye all the more.

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

During the first decade, home building focuses on managing moisture intrusion and minor foundation settlement. Between ten and twenty-five years, properties in Sylva require roof, deck, and HVAC replacements due to heavy weather exposure. Older homes demand structural attention, including pier and beam foundation repairs or full septic system replacements. Properties over fifty years old consistently require electrical rewiring and hazardous material remediation.

Helpful?

Retaining wall construction and grading require absolute precision during home building. North Carolina mountain terrain is steep, and improper slope management creates severe landslide risks. Stormwater runoff mistakes cause structural damage to foundations. Shortcuts in crawl space vapor barriers lead to rapid wood rot from high humidity. Additionally, improper chimney flashing or uninspected electrical work in older properties introduces significant fire hazards.

Helpful?

Yes, strategic home building significantly boosts resale appeal. Buyers in NC prioritize well-constructed outdoor decks to enjoy mountain views. Crawl space encapsulation and updated, fully permitted septic systems eliminate major buyer concerns and prevent inspection delays. Upgrading insulation and HVAC systems also adds substantial value by improving energy efficiency. Always secure proper permits, as undocumented work heavily complicates real estate transactions here.

Helpful?

Select durable, moisture-resistant materials for home building in Sylva. Install metal roofing or high-wind architectural shingles to withstand heavy precipitation and ice. Fiber cement siding offers superior protection against humidity and insects compared to traditional wood. Use composite decking for outdoor spaces and pressure-treated lumber for any ground contact. Apply spray foam insulation in crawl spaces to effectively manage the demanding mountain climate.

Helpful?

Address foundation drainage and moisture management immediately. Sylva experiences heavy rainfall and high humidity, making French drains and crawl space encapsulation essential for home building. Evaluate your roof and gutters to prevent winter ice dams. You should also inspect your septic system to ensure it supports your household size. Finally, assess your heating system, as many local homes rely on propane or oil.
