They went above and beyond. **★★★★★ — Cheryl Franz, Feb. 2017** > Eric and Curtis Smith have worked on numerous projects at our house over the years including taking out a wall, adding a sunroom, adding a deck, building a new stairwell, and rebuilding dormers after hurricane damage.

Quality work and craftsmanship, helped keep project within budget, great design advice, delivered renovation on time. And overall just great people! **★★★★★ — Michelle Harris, Feb. 2017** > We had an excellent experience working with Eric W Smith Builders to remodel our home. We were impressed with he quality of their work in one of their prior projects and felt comfortable hiring them. We decided to remodel our home with the possibility of selling it or staying in it. We loved the finished work so much we have decided to stay. Eric W Smith Builder created a layout that has improved the flow and function of our home. They are expert craftsmen with meticulous attention to detail. They are caring professionals who strived to ensure that we were highly satisfied. One member of their team is a real estate agent who gave us advice on our budget and guidance as to whether our ideas would enhance resale value or fulfill just our personal desires. They were flexible in accommodating our wishes when we added features like hardwood floors on the second level. Not only did they have creative design ideas and architectual features, they also were very knowledgeable in selecting tile, granite, hardwood floor finish, and paint. Their expertise resulted in an overall home remodeling project that is beautiful, functional, and enjoyable to live in. **★★★★★ — Daniel Rhule, Feb. 2017** > We were extremely pleased with this company. They were so professional and knowledgeable. They made suggestions that worked beautifully. They were always punctual and reliable. The quality of their work was outstanding. They met their deadline as promised and also came in under budget. I highly recommend this company and would certainly use them again. **★★★★★ — Sarah Wilkins, Feb. 2017** > We hired EWS Builders to renovate our kitchen. They orchestrated everything from tiling floors and backsplash, painting, replacing countertops and old appliances and even demolition of a wall and very large, outdated light fixture. They also rewired our kitchen hood to accommodate an over the range built in microwave. They made my dream kitchen a reality. I can't say enough good things about how seamless the process was, the great pricing and accurate quotes, the customer service and communication, and above all, their exceptional workmanship. Our kitchen went from drab and outdated to modern and beautiful. We have been enjoying our kitchen for nearly a year and look forward to many years of entertaining and enjoying it. We will definitely use EWS Builders for our next project and I highly recommend them to anyone considering a home improvement project. **★★★★★ — John Linton, Feb. 2017** > Eric and Curtis Smith are friendly, honest professional contractors with a great deal of knowledge and experience. They remodeled our bathroom with a leaky shower pan and repaired extensive water damage. The end result is a beautiful, modern bathroom with a larger shower and heated tile floor. We liked their work so much that we kept expanded the remodeling project to include a closet remodel and hardwood floors in the master bedroom. Eric and Curtis provided high quality workmanship and finished on the estimated timeline. They provided a tremendous value add to the project with their suggestions and advice. They were very flexible and allowed us to make numerous changes to the scope and size of the project. Their charges for the changes were very reasonable. They stand by the quality of their work. I highly recommend them. ## Selected projects - [Finished Basement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/finished-basement-pj-vj~5726623) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 23 - [Oxford Hills Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oxford-hills-remodel-pj-vj~2287155) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 14 - [Farrior Full Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farrior-full-home-remodel-pj-vj~2308574) - Location: Wake Forest, NC - Photos: 24 - [Remodelers Home Tour](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remodelers-home-tour-pj-vj~2310517) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 30 - Description: Gamelyn Full Home Remodel - [1521 King Charles Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1521-king-charles-remodel-pj-vj~2306392) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 23 - [King Charles Full Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/king-charles-full-home-remodel-pj-vj~2306402) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 14 - [Kitchen Remodel with space expansion](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-with-space-expansion-pj-vj~5943075) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 19 [See all 7 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/eric-w-smith-builder-inc-pfvwus-pf~312198266) ## Ideabooks - [SCREEN PROCH](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/173857759/list/screen-proch) — 4 ideas - [Bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55081075/list/bath) — 18 ideas - [Exterior Finishes](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/81305355/list/exterior-finishes) — 62 ideas - [Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88962080/list/kitchen) — 20 ideas - [Floors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/88976318/list/floors) — 2 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55080765/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [New House](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/82244770/list/new-house) — 6 ideas - [Dormers](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/81134005/list/dormers) — 8 ideas - [play room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/82240607/list/play-room) — 9 ideas - [Interior Trim](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/81306220/list/interior-trim) — 5 ideas - [Windows](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/81305410/list/windows) — 2 ideas - [Double sided fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/81131203/list/double-sided-fireplace) — 1 idea - [Garage Door](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/81130169/list/garage-door) — 4 ideas [See all 13 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/4812tsmith) ## Community Q&A **Q: Did you use the same tile on the shower floor as the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The main floor is Yoho Gris 12x24 which has more marbling with a darker grey than the Mayfair Calacatta 12x24 that's used on the shower walls and tub surround. The interior floor of the shower is also Mayfair Calacatta 2x2. Thanks for the inquiry. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-06.*
