We've embarked on a home remodel and expansion to get a "long term" house. We've nearly outgrown the current place and recently looked at buying property and building new. Not gonna happen (cha-ching). For a little chunk of money and a few month headache, we can convert the current place we have to a place the fits and we really like.
I've got an architect drawing up plans, and I've got a bank starting to process the money part. Now I need a couple good GC recommendations. I don't want to play "Google Roulette" with finding a random GC on such an important (to us) project. Last thing I want is to be the subject of a reality TV show about bad contractors!
I need someone who works the 28227 market (Mint Hill) and doesn't qualify them self as a "south Charlotte/Ballantyne/Dillworth/Queens" builder (all high-end parts of town)! I've spoken to two via Google search and they led off with that speech like it was a badge of honor. I hear "I'm expensive."
Does anyone have a recommendation/referral? In a nutshell, I'm pushing around some internal walls on my existing footprint and building an adjacent "connected" garage (gotta use the right words to get a zoning permit--it can't be a "detached" garage!!!). Looking to do the work this summer/fall.
Anyone know Chip and Jo?
In all seriousness, I'd beg the Essential Craftsman guy to do it if he weren't in Oregon! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzr30osBdTmuFUS8IfXtXmg
