General Contractors Near Lake Norman of Catawba

““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.”

“Vadim is a joy to work with! The crew of regulars is knowledgeable, dedicated to quality, and a lovely team to have working in your house. We hired him to complete a kitchen/dining room renovation project that had gone south with another contractor, and the contrast in workmanship and work ethic was night and day. Vadim provided some good design suggestions, and made it easy to make a few changes on the fly. Also, he sought additional quotes for floor finishing when he thought one was too high. Pricing for the whole project was transparent and itemized. For the most part the subs were great. There was one that was not up to par; however, Vadim deemed the work was unacceptable and had his regular guy come and fix it. They even went beyond the contract scope and touched up other problem areas. It was great having a contractor working in our best interest. I cannot wait to have Parksdale come back next year to remodel our bathrooms.”

“Carolina Classic is literally the best contractor I have ever worked with, and I have been working with contractors for 2 decades. Evan and his team do impeccable work, the quality, timeline, and budget were A+. This was a major, complicated project and the team was outstanding. Highest recommendation possible and I am so proud of the results!”
