From a leaking tub to a second-story addition, one call covers it. Mark meets you, writes a line-item estimate and stays on the job from concept to completion.
However complicated a job looks, we keep your project simple and easy to follow.
We avoid subcontractors and outsourcing wherever we can, so the people you meet are the people doing the work.
Every estimate lists each part of the job in the order it gets done, so you can see how we got to the price and stay on budget.
Kitchens & baths
Cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, lighting and fixtures, plus the plumbing and electrical behind them. We handle full gut remodels and simple refreshes, and we fix the leaks and subfloor damage that older bathrooms often hide.
“From skylights to hardwood floors to granite countertops to the ‘invisible drain’ in the shower, Mark was always ready to suggest an innovative approach and then apply the skills of a true craftsman to produce outstanding results.”
Additions
Need more room without moving? We build sunrooms, second stories, dormers, in-law suites, bonus rooms and attic conversions. Whether you’re adding on or carving new space out of the footprint you already have, we take it from design to finish.
“Mark has done many projects for us over the years, from converting a large attic to 2 additional bedrooms and a kids’ den, to giving us a fantastic kitchen remodel in our present home.”
Crawl spaces & moisture
In southeastern North Carolina, the problem Mark sees most is moisture. We evaluate crawl spaces, control moisture, clean and contain them, and repair the joists, subfloors and framing that water has already damaged.
“I had deteriorating floor joists. The problem was corrected by replacing the joists and the complete bathroom floor. I am very pleased with Mark’s work and I have recommended him to others.”
Exteriors
When water gets in, we find out where, fix the source and repair the damage. We handle siding, trim, roof leaks, windows, doors and masonry, and we restore older exterior details when they’re worth saving.
“He showed me the problem and recommended the proper way to repair it without being overbearing. He knows his work and pays attention to detail.”
Outdoor living
Decks, terraces, balconies, porticos, trellises and patio roofs, built to stand up to coastal sun, salt air and humidity.
Aging in place
Small changes can make a big difference. We make bathrooms safer, entries easier and stairs less of an obstacle, all the way up to installing a residential elevator.
Light commercial
Light commercial alterations are some of Mark’s favorite work. He started in commercial construction in 1979, helping build a Ramada Inn in Bennington, Vermont, and he has long experience with medical and legal offices. He knows how to keep downtime low for a busy practice, and he can be the one contractor you meet with to run the whole project.
Repairs
Doors, trim, drywall, flooring, painting, clean-ups and the punch list you’ve been putting off. We also look after homes and rentals for owners who live out of town, and send photos so you can see the work.
“Mark has done everything for me from repairing extensive termite damage in my tool shed to updating my bathroom. He is the most skilled carpenter I have ever seen. I have found nothing he can’t do.”
Call or text Mark at (910) 231-6020, or send a few details and he’ll get back to you.
