Do you handle both new home construction and major remodeling projects in Chapel Hill?

Yes, we offer a full range of services. With decades of experience, we've built luxury custom homes in subdivisions like Governors Club and have also completed affordable housing projects in partnership with the Town of Chapel Hill. Today, we focus heavily on design/build remodeling, additions, and ADU construction, bringing the same commitment to quality and clear communication to every project, big or small.

We're noticing roof shingle curling and flashing separation on our Chapel Hill home. Can you help?

Absolutely. As experienced general contractors and roofing specialists, we routinely address these common local issues. We assess the full scope of the problem, whether it requires targeted repair or a full roof replacement, and provide a clear plan. Our green building expertise also allows us to recommend durable, energy-efficient materials suited to our local climate.

What does being a Certified Green Professional and Aging-in-Place Specialist mean for my project?

Our CGP certification means we prioritize sustainable, energy-efficient materials and practices in every project, from kitchen remodels to new ADUs.
