Fireproofing Services in Forest Hills, NC

“White Oak Custom Builders (Justin Hartman) was the contractor for a very extensive remodeling project of my house in 2013. The scope of the remodeling involved window replacement (22 windows and 6 patio doors and all new interior doors), interior wall and flooring system replacement, three decks, a new roof structure (approximately 2400 sq. ft.) and all new interior trim for what became a three level house, originally built in 1950. While major remodeling is inherently stressful for almost any homeowner, Justin’s services as a contractor were invaluable, and I am extremely pleased with the final result. Specifically, I would give Justin top marks in the following areas: 1. Quality of work performed. The quality of work done was consistently top notch. Justin knowledgeable, skilled, and competent and is conscientious about following project specifications, and his work product rarely needs improvement or revision. 2. Project management and coordination. Justin’s prior experience working in construction really paid off. He was knowledgeable about all aspects of our project, and was able to plan, coordinate and manage the activities of different work crews effectively. He remained closely involved in overseeing the project from start to finish. His excellent attention to detail, strong organizational skills and commitment to follow-through are assets which enabled him to juggle the extensive details involved in our project without missing a beat. Justin’s familiarity with building codes also facilitated a smooth and hassle-free process when it came to building permits and inspection. 3. Integrity and professionalism. Throughout the project, I was impressed with Justin’s commitment to generating a top quality product, rather than maximizing his profit margin. When situations arose where extra work needed to be done (because of hidden problems that were not apparent until work on the house had commenced), Justin either (if it was relatively minor) took care of it, or (if it was more extensive) involved me in an informed decision making. 4. Effective communication. Justin kept me closely informed of work crew schedules, delivery dates, and projected completion dates of different phases of our project. His communication (whether by cell phone or email) was always clear, informative, and helpful. He was either available on his cell phone, or returned my phone call within 2-3 hours. We never had a single miscommunication throughout the project. 5. Flexibility and effectiveness in dealing with unexpected developments. When unforeseen problems surfaced (e.g., termite damage in a wall, structural problems with the existing floor and roof system), Justin worked diligently with me to identify a solution that was acceptable to me. He utilized resources effectively (e.g., recommending the services of a structural engineer in a limited fashion) and creatively to make changes necessary for implementing required solutions. 6. Sensitivity to worksite appearance and neighbor relations. Our project required huge dumpsters and a portable toilet (for the work crew), and there was very limited parking. Justin’s placement of the dumpster, portable toilet, and construction materials was based not solely on function and convenience, but showed a consideration for the aesthetics of the worksite. The work crew parked their vehicles in ways that were minimally disruptive to the neighborhood traffic, and their conduct never caused any discomfort to our neighbors. In the period of this project, there was not one single neighbor complaint! Instead, three different neighbors passed on compliments about the work. In closing, I am very pleased with the final product which Justin was instrumental in delivering, and I am extremely impressed with his work as a contractor. In a world where shoddy workmanship and poor service are unfortunately all too common, Justin is indeed a rare find. I would not hesitate to hire Justin again, or to recommend him to my friends and neighbors. I recommend White Oak Custom Builders to you most enthusiastically, and without any reservations.”

“Allure Homes, LLC was the builder for my family's first home. The construction process was stress-free and well coordinated. I believe the detail and quality of each facet of our home is noticeably higher than other homes in our neighborhood in comparable price ranges, which is a credit to Allure Homes. I would recommend Allure Homes as a builder/project facilitator to anyone who asked for information about builders in the triangle area.”

“I called NC Foam Pros out for a very detailed ceiling install of closed cell sprayfoam, and dense packed underfloor. On a duplex in downtown Raleigh. Dean was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done. The install went smoothly and exceeded my expectations. Professionalism at it's best. I highly recommend these guys if you need insulation. Thanks NC Foam Pros...”

“Jim did a fantastic job of remodeling my entire downstairs floor of my house. The house was in rough shape when I purchased it and we knew it was a complete guy. The biggest job would be converting the downstairs into a master bedroom and bath. I met with multiple contractors and Jim's vision was by far the best. All the other contractors had a similar vision which we weren't excited about. Jim also came in at a competitive price. He started when he said he would start and finished the project on time. We even entered into Covid which made things extremely complicated. He was still able to make adjustments and get the job done so we could move in on time. We discovered a lot of other issues with the house that weren't involved with the scope of work Jim was focused on. He had other contractors that helped complete that work quickly. It saved me a lot of headache. My master bedroom and bathroom was the show stoppers off the house.”
