Renovate. Design. Build.

Coastal Carolina’s hands-on general contractor.

Decks, docks, additions, remodels and custom homes from Ocean Isle Beach to Oak Island. Licensed, local, and on the job site with you every week.

How We Work

You’ll see your project every week.

On our biggest Ocean Isle Beach transformation, the owners got a progress video every single week. That’s how we run every job, because most of our clients don’t live here full-time.

    Free on-site consultation

    Caleb walks the property with you, listens to what you want and talks through options and ballpark budget.

  2. 02

    Drawings & permits

    We put the plan on paper, pull the permits and keep you posted on every approval before we start.

  3. 03

    Build, with weekly video updates

    Our crew builds it right. Every week you get a progress update, even if you’re three states away.

  4. 04

    Clean finish & walkthrough

    We walk the finished job with you and leave the site cleaner than we found it. Reviewers notice.

Featured Transformation · Ocean Isle Beach

“It looks like a completely different house.”

One of the biggest projects we’ve done: a full exterior overhaul on the island we call home. Here’s what went into it:

  • New front & back decks with composite decking and aluminum handrails
  • Privacy & louver walls, new composite ground decks
  • Dock re-decking and framing, plus a fish-cleaning table
  • New windows & doors
  • Batten strips, window & door trim, beauty bands and breaker boards on the whole house
  • New 8×8 posts with trimmed-out columns and beams

What Neighbors Say

Reliable, reasonable, responsive.

Most of our work comes from referrals and repeat clients. Here’s what they’ve written about us.

We had the decks on the back of our house replaced. The crew was really good, overcoming some unforeseen issues and really did a nice job. I was impressed with the communication from Caleb, keeping us up to date on all the pre-job stuff (drawings, permits, etc.) and during the job too. His design ideas were helpful and everything was executed beautifully. They left the jobsite cleaner than they found it!
