Atlantic Beach NC Remodeling Contractor

Building in Atlantic Beach

Atlantic Beach is on Bogue Banks, with Fort Macon at the island's eastern end. The ocean and Bogue Sound are close enough that the direction a house faces can matter as much as its distance from either shore. A side wall that looks sheltered on a calm day may be the one that gets the hardest rain when the wind shifts. At an elevated home, the exposed steps and the landing are worth looking at from below as well as from the door.

Start inside with what happens on a busy day. Where do the wet towels go when the bath is already in use? Can someone get to the refrigerator while another person is cooking? If you can show Alan those trouble spots, he can talk through which changes would make the most difference. A better layout can solve problems that a fresh set of finishes would leave behind. The entry from outside can be as important as the room itself. A place to set down beach bags helps keep the path through the house clear.

Salt air, humidity and storms give small gaps and worn edges plenty of chances to let water in. Alan opens affected areas to the studs, takes care of rot and puts the room back together with the coastal conditions in mind. You get to pick how the place looks once the crew knows what the new work will be attached to.

We live in a house on the beach which hadn’t had any remodeling work since it was built 45 years ago. There was some pretty ugly tile and a non functioning whirlpool tub as well as a leaking outer wall window that we knew probably needed replacing. Alan came in and helped us visualize a new/modern look…new plumbing, a new adult sized shower and getting rid of the tub. As with lots of remodels on older homes…behind the walls told a story of dry rotted exterior siding, a window that couldn’t be salvaged…more unexpected work to be done before any remodel. A bit distressed due to rising costs and repairs, Alan worked with us to contain costs and deliver a beautiful full master bath remodel…on budget. He has a great team and expert crafts people to handle plumbing and electrical work. Upon completion my wife asked me if I would use Alan again…my answer was an unequivocal yes…without reservation.

I can honestly say working with AB Building and Remodeling has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a contractor. From start to finish, I felt completely comfortable. Their communication was excellent, they paid close attention to detail, and they made sure my home was always functional during the repair process. They were on time, quick, and cleaned up after themselves every day. The quality of their work was exceptional. I had water damage to my floor that required the subfloor to be replaced and new flooring laid—and they installed it even better than the first time. Now I realize just how bad it was before! I can’t say enough positive things about my experience. Without a doubt, I’ll be calling AB Building for my next project.

After calling AB Building and Remodeling late on a Friday, Alan got back to me almost immediately. Then on Saturday, next day, he had his worker come to the house to assess what the job would include and determine if they could do the job, which of course they could. Kim Carter performed all the work required for my Garage Door and Side Door Metal Trim replacement due to corrosion/age. He removed and reinstalled vinyl siding around the doors to get access he needed, removed all the metal trim around the doors and replaced the J channel and metal trim. As with any project we had a couple of surprises once the metal trim was removed. We discovered the Garage Side Door needed a new Threshold and the lower outside facing parts of the door had rotted away so after a quick trip to Lowes he repaired those issues as well. Very happy with the work done and feel very confident that I won't have to worry about either door trim for years to come. Thanks Alan and Kim.
