"If I could give more stars I would! Mark installed a beautiful wood tongue and groove ceiling for us. Performed kitchen tear out and prepared it for new cabinets and appliances, painted cathedral living room and kitchen. and repaired our gutters. We were extremely pleased with his work. He'll be coming back to work on floor support when our new garage doors arrive and to install a new front door. He's very reliable, professional and priced reasonably."

"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!!

"The technician did an excellent job. It did take a while to get the repair finished, but that was due to Bertazzoni delivering the parts. I have had multiple problems with this particular appliance. My range now works better than it did when new, but I have a feeling that even if I have continuing problems with it, American Home Shield will just repair rather than replace due to the cost of the range. By the way, I'm not exactly sure of the date of the repair."

Home Building 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?

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.

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?

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?

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.
