We don't rely on random crews working at your house. Instead, we have built a team of professionals that have your best interest at hand. With over 20 YEARS of being in business, we know your priority is getting the job done right, on time, and within budget. You will get a written bid detailing every item, and we stick to that contract. The owner, Tony Pescho, is always your main contact for your remodeling project. His experience includes being a custom home division manager for a local homebuilder, a Realtor, a new home sales agent, and a construction superintendent. Heard of horror stories about other contractors taking 6 months to finish a kitchen? Not here. Most jobs are finished around 2 months. Many contractors get their foot in the door, just to try and work multiple projects simultaneously, barely keeping anyone satisfied. That's not our style and we believe it has made our referral business our best source for new projects. We are an authorized dealer for Designer's Choice Cabinets, KCD Cabinets & Cabinet Corp. Email us your project details and we'll see if we are a good fit for your needs. We only take on projects that can be completed perfectly, in a timely manner.

They were detailed every step of the way creating an amazing end product. They added creativity to create a personalized and unique design for our needs. **★★★★★ — Danielle, Aug. 2023** > Tony and his crew were great to work with! The level of service and detail to our project were amazing! Our first floor and kitchen renovation turned out better then I could ever imagine! I highly recommended Sterling Construction! **★★★★★ — Mark C, March 2022** > Sterling Construction did an incredible remodel on our home. The kitchen was gutted and the layout completely redesigned for a highly functional and beautiful space. Tony also helped design a ceiling treatment for the den, installed a new limestone hearth for the fireplace, added sconces, and installed new LED can lighting throughout the downstairs. The craftsmanship and quality of work by Tony and Brandon are outstanding. They were also very easy and fun to work with. We could not be more pleased with our new space. **★★★★★ — G Smith, Oct. 2021** > Renovations in a pandemic is an interesting experience, to say the least! We are lucky to have chosen Tony Pescho and Sterling Construction as our contractor. Definitely one of the best decisions we have made. We could not be more pleased with our kitchen and bath renovations. The bath was a total redesign, removing everything including walls and building a larger walk-in shower and dressing area. Tony was able to take our wishlist and made it happen. > > Tony and his team do beautiful work. They are dependable, extremely talented and fun to be around. Most of all, the attention to detail is extraordinary. Be assured that Tony isn't finished until it is perfect. > > Many thanks to Tony Pescho, James, Brandon (and a couple of their sons) for a job well done! We love it! **★★★★★ — tiffanyhaineskateriley, Nov. 2019** > I am incredibly happy with my new kitchen thanks to Sterling Construction! They were not only fun to work with but they were honest, respectful and talented! I would recommend their workmanship to anyone who needs their services!! Everyday my kitchen makes me smile. I give Sterling Construction the highest accolades! **★★★★★ — Diane Denton, Sept. 2019** > Tony and his team did a great job with our master bathroom and laundry room remodel. The design he came up with was exactly what we wanted and the craftsmanship in the work was spectacular. We love our new master bath and laundry rooms. **★★★★★ — Anne Dixon, April 2019** > Tony Pescho, owner of Sterling Construction in Cornelius, NC, just completed the remodel of our kitchen. What a fantastic job he and his crew did. We had the entire kitchen gutted - we only left the floor. Our new cabinets are lovely - well constructed and installed. Our quartz counter tops are beautiful. And our expanded island is perfect. He did a great design and layout for us. The crew was professional, skilled, on time and they cleaned up so well. I love every detail of the kitchen and though it was a difficult process to live through, it was so well worth it. I highly recommend Sterling Construction for any home remodeling project. Next...on to the master bathroom! **★★★★★ — Marian, Jan. 2019** > In my initial search, I wasn’t sure what I wanted out of a contractor and construction crew for our master bathroom remodel. I went for quality design with Sterling Construction. > > Along the way I learned that I was not only getting excellent quality with amazing attention to detail, but also a trustworthy, honest and dependable crew, low stress communications and scheduling, and a team member who valued my opinions and ideas in a very open, friendly and constructive manner. > > I couldn’t have asked for more and would choose Sterling construction again for future projects! **★★★★★ — Douglas Eber, Oct. 2018** > When my wife and I decided to renovate our master bathroom it was an easy decision to go with Sterling Construction. We live in a relatively small town and we have seen the quality of Sterling Constructions work before. > > We had a general idea of what we wanted and Tony took the time to walk us through the entire process, discuss and review design ideas, costs and timelines. Not all of our ideas would have worked and Tony was not afraid to point them out. His eye for detail really helped my wife and i come to a final decision on the design. He also spent the time with us at various vendors picking out the products used in the project. > > The project started on time and the crew at Sterling Construction was fantastic!!! They were courteous, always on time and always cleaned up after themselves every day. After watching them work for a few days I knew I wouldn't have to worry about the craftsmanship or quality in their work; they skipped no corners and treated my house as if it were theirs. > > Overall the project was completed very close to the original timeline given and my wife and I are thrilled with the result. Several months have passed and we both still love it and wouldn't change a thing. > > Should we ever decide to renovate any other room in our house we would choose Sterling Construction again without hesitation. **Comment from Sterling Construction, Inc.:** > Thank you for putting your trust in us! The results were nothing short of spectacular! **★★★★★ — Li Jane, Aug. 2018** > Sterling Construction, Tony Pescho, is the remodeling contractor to choose when it comes to quality workmanship. My master bathroom was a total gut and guest bathroom, only the tub was remained. The outcome was a beautiful transformation from a 1999 developer’s basic to a 2018 masterpiece. > After researching several contractors, Sterling Construction won out! Tony’s professionalism was on point: itemized/detailed proposal, draft of design layout and time frame of completion. Tony met my criteria to be selected: good estimate, feasible schedule, open communication, aesthetic vision; along with great personality and easy to work with. His added dimension of aesthetic vision, a good “eye” for detail, is an asset that other contractors don’t usually share. His expertise in design elements worked exceptionally well when he suggested using my vanity granite as caps for the knee-wall and shower threshold. A minor but critical detail that worked beautifully and successfully encompassed the look and aesthetic balance of the master bathroom design. > As Tony mentioned in his Houzz bio, he has “built a team of professionals”, a dedicated crew who you can comfortably trust and know you’re getting the best workmanship. My long-awaited bathrooms are finally a reality and I couldn’t be more pleased with my Guest and Master bathroom remodel by Tony Pescho and his team. Definitely 5 Stars! **★★★★★ — C T, July 2018** > Finding Sterling Construction for our home renovation was the best thing that happened to us in 2018. When we read reviews we knew Tony’s company was the one to use. Our kitchen and first floor remodel was a dream in the making for a long time and Tony and his wonderful team made it a reality. Day one he came to us with a new idea that turned out to be a gamechanger - he had the vision to open our home up even more than we knew was possible. End result -his team transformed our home like no one could’ve imagined! Our friends, family and neighbors have all been blown away and say we nailed it; lakeside home became a truly welcoming lake house retreat. LKN is lucky to have a contractor like Tony in the area; he is a smart, detail-oriented guy and treats your home as if it was his. We interviewed other area contractors and none came close to Tony’s design ideas or contractor savvy. You can’t go wrong with Sterling Construction! **Comment from Sterling Construction, Inc.:** > Wow, that's the nicest review ever! It was our pleasure working for you guys. One thing I tell every customer is that I want you to have zero regrets in the end. Sometimes that costs a little more or might make you rethink what you originally had in mind, but I think the open-mindedness these clients had, made this an exciting project for all of us. Thank you, Joy & Clyde! **★★★★★ — Nora Katona, July 2017** > Tony and his team were great to work with on our recent kitchen remodel. They were professional at all times and met the projected timeline. I would happily recommend them. ## Selected projects - [Kerri & Joshua's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kerri-and-joshua-s-kitchen-pj-vj~7634225) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Mark & Mike's Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mark-and-mike-s-kitchen-pj-vj~6866000) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Wow!
