Pine Knoll Shores NC Remodeling Contractor

Building in Pine Knoll Shores

Pine Knoll Shores sits between the Atlantic Ocean and Bogue Sound on Bogue Banks. The aquarium and town beach access points help show how close the two sides of the island are, but houses on different lots can still feel quite different. Shade and trees can make one porch a pleasant place in the afternoon. On an open lot, that same space might need more cover or a different place for the stairs. Let the way the lot works guide the layout before you draw an addition.

Pay attention to where things stay damp. A bit of trim that dries quickly after a shower of rain is different from a corner that stays wet behind a planter. Inside, a bath that handles daily showers needs room for towels to dry and a floor plan that makes cleaning easy. The kitchen may be able to keep its existing footprint if new cabinets solve the storage problem. A shaded entry may need different care from a sunny deck. Talking through where you sit and how you get outside helps the new work fit daily life.

Island humidity and hurricane-season rain can make a leak show up long after its starting point is hidden. Alan strips the work area to the studs when rebuilding and fixes rot he finds before the finish work goes in. The structure underneath deserves as much thought as the view from the porch.

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.
