Morehead City NC Remodeling Contractor

Building in Morehead City

Morehead City grew around the port at Shepard Point, where the Newport River meets the harbor. Across Bogue Sound lies Atlantic Beach, but a mainland house has a different set of daily demands from a place on the beach. Think about where you come in with groceries, where you rinse off after being out on the water, and where visitors put their things. These routines help show what needs to change.

If you are opening an older kitchen or bath, it is worth asking what has happened around the windows and below the sink over the years. A cabinet can look worn simply because it gets a lot of use, while a soft spot in the floor calls for a closer look. Humid stretches and rain during hurricane season make the outside of the house part of that conversation too, especially when a stain has come back after being painted over. A change in one room can help the rooms beside it, too. A clear path past the kitchen counter leaves more space for a table and chairs.

Alan takes the affected area down to the studs so the crew can see where the trouble begins. They repair rotten material before they close the wall and build the new room with coastal exposure in mind. That lets you make the choices you came for, such as how much counter space to keep or how to lay out the shower, on top of work you can feel good about covering up.

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.
