Building in Havelock

We serve Craven County on the south side of the Neuse River, including Havelock. Slocum Creek is a tidal inlet that extends from the Neuse River into Havelock. Homes near the creek or river can take a beating from moisture, and houses farther from the bank still face humid summers and hurricane-season rain. Before choosing new trim or a bathroom floor, look for signs that water has been getting in. A swollen edge at a door or a stain on a ceiling may be a reason to look beyond the room you planned to update.

A house that works well most of the time can still have one room that slows everybody down. Where two people need to get ready at once, the bath might need a better route around the vanity. A kitchen with enough counter area may just need a different way to get from the sink to the stove. Adding space makes more sense once you know what problem the rooms you already have cannot solve. A new room should still feel close to the rest of the family. The way its door meets a hall can matter more than its size on paper.

Alan takes the work down to the studs so the crew can repair what is wrong behind the finish before new material goes in. That is how they build for a place with damp air and coastal storms, including houses that never get a direct breeze off the river.

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.
