Building in Swansboro

The White Oak River runs past downtown Swansboro, and the town dock at the foot of Main Street opens onto the waterfront. Highway 24 crosses the river here on its way toward Cedar Point. Even away from the downtown blocks, the river helps explain why homeowners think about weather when they plan exterior work. A porch can be a sheltered place in one wind direction and wide open to rain in another, so the position of the screen door and steps is worth a careful look.

Older rooms sometimes work well enough to keep most of their layout. If the real trouble is a cramped bath or nowhere to put kitchen appliances, you may be able to tackle just that part of the house. For a larger job, think about where people will pass each other between the new room and the rest of the house. Looking at those paths on site is more helpful than trying to guess from a floor plan alone.

Storm water can leave its mark far from the place where it got in. Alan checks what is behind the finish by taking the work area down to the studs. If there is rot, the crew takes care of it before they build back. That gives the new work a sound starting point in damp river air and coastal weather.

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.
