New Bern NC Remodeling Contractor

Building in New Bern

New Bern stands at the meeting of the Trent and Neuse rivers. In Craven County, Alan serves the south side of the Neuse River. The first look at a house is about its own layout and lot. A familiar floor plan may work differently when a family starts using a room for guests or when the route from the kitchen to the back yard becomes the main way in. Decide what is worth keeping before asking what should change.

A walk around the outside is useful even for a project that is mostly indoors. Look at the window on the wall where you want a new sink, or check the back door where a new room would join the house. If there is already a mark from an old leak, tell Alan about it early. Humidity and the heavy rains that come with storms can make a small point of entry matter over time. Your new room can keep the parts of home that already work. A familiar route from the kitchen to the yard is worth keeping when extra space joins the house.

Alan and his crew take the area being rebuilt down to its studs when they open it up. If damp framing has started to rot, they repair it before the new surface hides it. It is a way to plan for the weather near the rivers while getting a room that fits the people living there today.

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.
