Featured Reviews for Builders in Elm City, NC

Ingram Construction Co
Builders in Elm City, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 September 2013
“It is said that building a house ranks in the top 10 of the most stressful events in a person's life....I will say, with conviction, that working with Stephen Ingram and his team of subcontractors was the most pleasant experience we could have asked for. My husband and I had designed our home ourselves and we went to Ingram Construction to build our home. Throughout the entire process, the construction site was spotless and there was explicit attention to detail. We would use Ingram Construction again for a small or large project at our home.”
Rock Creek Home Builders
Builders in Elm City, NC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 August 2014
“Hired Rock Creek (after firing our original contractor) for the renovation of our 1912 Victorian home. I could not say enough good things about the Rock Creek team and have subsequently recommended them to several friends. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. 1. They have well-established relationships with solid, dependable sub-contractors who stand by their work. 2. Honest, friendly site supervisor with really good communication skills 3. Accurate estimates for work and time 4. New construction or ancient renovation, they are experienced at both 5. They are there when they say they will be, usually a few minutes early 6. Can work with a budget, we did several substitutions based on what was important to us/important to the house. 7. Accurate and organized billing, their office is in order and it shows 8. Our house rarely caught them by surprise; they have the experience and knowledge to understand the scope of a project and forsee potential issues before they become problems. 9. They provide a very good quality finished project. This was our home and we were really happy with the outcome. 10. Everything was on the up and up: permits were quick and easy (for us) and the inspectors always walked away satisfied.”
