Building in Newport

The Newport River passes through town, and U.S. Highway 70 connects Newport with Morehead City in one direction and Havelock in the other. This is mainland Carteret County, where a house may sit well away from the open shore and still see the region's humidity and storms. A lot does not need a view of the water for its back steps or a window sill to stay damp after a stretch of rain.

Alan lives and works in the same area he serves. If you are planning changes, show him which rooms the family uses most and where things get in the way. A hall bath may need more room around the door. A kitchen that also serves as the main route into the house might need a better path past the counters. For an addition, talk through what you want to keep about the old house before deciding where to attach the new part. A small change by the entry can ease the whole routine. Room to put things down means less to step around when you come home with full hands.

When a wall comes out, Alan's crew works down to the studs to see whether the material behind it is sound. They fix rot before covering up the framing. Newport's damp weather and the hard rains that can come during hurricane season are good reasons to settle those questions before the new cabinets, tile or porch trim go in.

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.
