### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — Kathleen Stepp, Feb. 2014**

> We had part of our unfinished  basement finished into a storage room and an exercise room. We also redid the bathroom and a kitchen/bar area. Keystone was wonderful to work with. Very focused on the customer and they gave 100% to everything they did. The job is beautifully done and we get tons of compliments on it!

**★★★★★ — katmandu13, July 2025**

> “He (Artie Smethers) treats your home as if he is building his own”…this was the phrase we heard repeatedly from Keystone Building Group references when we were doing our homework on local builders.  Every inquiry we made regarding work ethic, professionalism and quality standards were met with high praise.  We were not disappointed.
>
> We built our home in NC while still living out of state.  We were nervous not being onsite to monitor progress and make sure all the details were making it into our dream home.  Our project could not have been in better hands.  Artie provided us with excellent communication and clarity with almost daily updates and pictures of the job site.  He proactively managed any issues he saw along the way, kept us informed and made recommendations (based on his experience) that we were able to incorporate into our build.   We were glad we did.  We have no regrets or things ‘we wish we would’ve done’ because Artie talked us through scenarios and we were able to make decisions that have been beneficial and useful to everyday life.
>
> The job site was always immaculate (as we were told by amazed neighbors).  Their team of subcontractors were always respectful and professional to us and our property.
>
> Angie Smethers helped us navigate the financials and change requests as well as interfacing with the financial institution; making the payment reconciliation process flow easily throughout the build.  She was responsive, patient and very easy to work with.
>
> Building a new home is a huge undertaking - they made it an exciting and very positive experience.  I would trust them to build all my future homes.

**★★★★★ — angelaedmondson3, Feb. 2017**

> It was such a pleasure working with Artie from Keystone Building Group! We were remodeling our kitchen and laundry room and the end result was stunning! Not only did we end up with a beautiful kitchen and laundry room, but we gained a new friend with Artie. Artie was willing to "think outside the box" and make my visions come to life. He and his crew were so accommodating to our needs and cleaned the job site every single day. Artie truly made this experience fun and stress free!

**★★★★★ — Lindsay Daniel, Dec. 2016**

> Keystone has deep roots and experience in the Charlotte Metro area. This is a builder that grew up on a job site VERSUS the "businessman" builder with only sales experience. That education makes a huge difference to the designer, the client, the outcome, and client satisfaction.  That difference is exposed in a real planning, a REAL budget, and REAL quality. As an architect that is essential to me!!  Over the years, they continue to rank a high level of satisfaction with my clients and my firm.

**★★★★★ — Justin Novy, Oct. 2016**

> I have been a part of the homebuilding industry for quite some time, and have literally worked with over 100 builders in multiple markets. I am thoroughly impressed by the end product provided by Artie and his company. The attention to detail is amazing, and Artie is relentless for providing the best customer service. Keystone will provide you an end product well worth the value and relationship you can rely on.

**★★★★★ — Jim Schmid Photography, Oct. 2016**

> As a photographer, I have enjoyed working with the group at Keystone Building Group and seeing their designs come to life.  We have had the pleasure to work with them on several projects and each time we are surprised by the end results.  They are great communicators, both by listening and giving feedback to help develop the perfect environment their clients are looking for.They have excellent workmanship and pay close attention to every detail.
>
> I would highly recommend Keystone Building Group to anyone looking for a team that will be there every step of the way and will do whatever it takes to make it your dream home.

**Comment from Keystone Building Group, Inc.:**

> Thank you Jim - we're looking forward to many more photo shoots with you!!

**★★★★★ — Ben Brown, Oct. 2016**

> Artie is a true pro in the remodeling industry.  He focuses on the details and treats each project as if it were his own.  He helps to take a lot of the headaches out of remodeling.

**Comment from Keystone Building Group, Inc.:**

> Thank you for your wonderful comments - it's a pleasure working with you!

**★★★★★ — paloma2424, Jan. 2014**

> Keystone Building Group has handled a few projects for us over the last several years, and we continue to be impressed with the attentiveness to our needs and the thoroughness with which the jobs are completed.  Additionally, we have never had any "collateral damage" to walls, floors, and furniture because they go the extra mile to protect all areas that might be affected during a job.  We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone, and will use them again for any future projects!!

**★★★★★ — Kari & Co Interior Design, Jan. 2014**

> As an interior designer, picking a contractor to work with clients is of the utmost importance. Keystone has delivered on every level; professionalism, time line, and superior quality. I would recommend keystone for any project from small renovations to new construction.
