We bought our house, in Crooked Creek, a little over 2 years ago. We have had some big projects and some small projects done. It is sometimes intimidating to call a Builder, and ask for a "small project", like the window we needed installed. I called VPC, and spoke to Dave Shableski. From the start of our conversation, to the end of the project, Dave treated me with the utmost courtesy, professionalism, and patience. He made my "small project" seem just as important as any big project his company may take on. Dave and I kept in touch regularly throughout the process of ordering the window, to the installation. Dave answered every text, email, and phone call. I am very impressed, and very happy with VPC Builders, and especially grateful to Dave for his excellent customer service! Thanks VPC

Trust was our main priority in selecting Matt Vincent and VPC Builders LLC to build our vacation/retirement home in NC. Living in FL we needed to have faith that our builder would complete the build on time, deliver a good product and stay on budget. Matt and his team
delivered! We look forward to future projects together.

Matt Vincent of VPC builders and Dave Shableski are by far the best contractor and project manager I have ever worked with and I have done many renovations over the years. VPC builders recently completed a very extensive project on my home including removing stone from my lower deck, with waterproofing and rebuilding the deck. Many other smaller projects were also performed at the same time. VPC builders also originally completed an even larger project when I bought the home. The qualities that make them stand out include a very detailed and accurate estimate of all work done, timely completion of the project(s), attention to detail with superior workmanship, and above all, and I can't emphasize this enough, NO surprises! I recommend them to anyone without reservation and in fact will use them again if ever I need their services.

We have used VPC for several remodeling and repair projects over the last 15 months at a vacation cabin that we purchased. They added a lot of beautiful wood trim to a great room (ceiling, wainscoting, flooring), replaced sliding glass doors, gutted the old kitchen and put in a new one, and handled some large, unexpected structural problems for us. There have been lots of smaller jobs involved, too. We have been extremely pleased with all aspects of this work. The quality and craftsmanship is top-notch, and the project manager has been amazing. We look forward to using VPC again for further remodeling projects!

My fiancé and I recently completed a major design and renovation project to our 2,800 square foot ‘forever home’ using VPC Builders, and we are extremely satisfied with the results. We thought we had a pretty good plan on what we wanted to achieve when we started the project, but had no idea how much it would evolve and how much better it would turn out, all due to the expertise and efforts of the team at VPC Builders.
This process began when we placed the home under contract and needed guidance on renovation ideas, the general costs involved, and a time frame to complete the project. We knew we were looking for a one-stop, design (on-staff draftsmen) and build solution. After researching local construction companies, we were encouraged by the accreditations, testimonials, and direct feedback from past clients that had used VPC Builders. We reviewed the VPC Builders website, which depicts photo-shoots of many of their completed projects and the actual customer reviews, and decided to take the plunge and call VPC. After our first one-hour meeting at the VPC office with Matt Vincent, the company president, and the rest of his staff, we knew we had found the right company for our project.
Initially, the kitchen and great room were the only areas that we wanted to improve, but that would change. Matt suggested opening up the wall between the kitchen and dining area and leveling out the floors between the rooms to allow for better flow. That specific area was tight and there was originally a step down to the dining area. In addition, he recommended tearing out the water heater closet below the staircase, which was centered in the back of the great room and adjacent to the kitchen, to create a floating staircase to the main foyer and upper level. Those ideas would end up changing the whole feel of the house and really opened our eyes to how special the project could be. Project managers Tony Anthony and Brent Lyons were on-site during the house inspections to advise on potential issues and were quick to turnaround a general budget and time frame to give us the confidence to proceed to closing on the house.
Once closed, the real work began. Through a series of weekly meetings, held on-site and at VPC’s office, we walked through each step of the renovation process. First, Tony and Jake Smith, came out to our house and took complete measurements. Then, after review of some sketches of a proposed layout we had previously made, and a thorough discussion of what our goals and objectives were, Jake put everything into a computer program that gave us 3D dimensional views of our plans. We were so excited with the ideas, plans, and great feedback that we decided to open up the renovation improvements to our entire house. This process got finer and finer in detail as we went along. Everything, including landscaping, crawl space/foundation improvements, electrical, plumbing, ceiling, flooring, doors, fireplace, bathrooms and cabinetry, was included in these plans. Each time Jake would update the computer program so that we could see the changes evolve, and the VPC team never got frustrated or distracted with our questions and many decision changes. With each change, Tony, who focused on the budget, would update a cost spreadsheet and provide us with an accurate cost update and time frame. Through this process, we got to our final layout. VPC then took all of that information and developed a comprehensive construction quotation, which included all anticipated costs. We were pleased with the quotation, and by this time, we had developed a great working relationship with Matt and his team.
After we signed the construction contract, we picked out the material options for our renovation: plumbing fixtures, tile, counter tops, cabinetry, flooring, lighting, etc. for all of the house, stone for the fireplace, a 600lb reclaimed beam for the mantle, electrical fixtures, paint colors and trim options for all areas. This process was made easier by VPC because they provided an allowance quote for every item in their original quotation. Then we could decide if and where we wanted to stretch the budget for these items. VPC also provided us with a list of preferred vendors for each item, who all were very helpful during this process, and all had a great working relationship with VPC. Once the selections were all made, Tony updated his cost spreadsheets and we made a few changes to meet our budget requirements.
We were now ready to move on to the actual construction phase. We worked with key members of the VPC Builders construction team, Brent Lyons and Cliff Baldwin. Both are experienced long-time contractors with great communication skills, who worked on our renovation from start to finish. As this phase began, we met with Brent, Cliff, and Matt at our house every week, to review progress and discuss the next week’s activities. Even more importantly, we were able to discuss ideas that my fiancé and I would think of to improve our project. This would require Matt and Tony’s input for feasibility and cost. And each week, we would consult with Brent, Cliff, and Matt on-site to review changes and final decisions to help us feel comfortable with any insecurities we might have.
I want to stress how impressed we were with VPC’s efforts and how they really cared about our project, which was evident throughout the entire process. First, our wish of finding reclaimed beams and working them into our overall budget and layout design seemed farfetched. Matt and Tony took care of the details, such as finding the perfect source, considering the weight of the beams on the structure, the design and dynamics of how those beams would integrate with the rest of the layout, and all within what our budget could handle. Second, we hoped we could fit a breakfast nook into the kitchen area with built in bench seating. Matt’s suggestion of removing the wall between the kitchen and dining area created enough room to fulfill that dream. Third, we wanted smart features and entertainment areas implemented throughout the house. VPC planned for the smart features early on and recommended a local company for the installation of the entertainment areas and the two collaborated to make the entertainment area a total success. Fourth, we wanted a builder that stressed energy efficiency, long term home health, and minimal impact on the environment. VPC’s commitment to the latter was evident in materials, appliances, and design elements they recommended…a true ‘Green’ builder.
With the project completed, we would say that not only are we over-the-top satisfied with our full house renovation, we also feel that we have become friends with the folks at VPC…even Thor, Matt’s trusty German Shepherd companion that is always by his side. Their attention to detail is unbelievable, communication relentless, and it shows in the final product. We have already talked with Matt and crew about a few other projects for the exterior of our home, and would highly recommend anyone to consider VPC Builders for their renovation work, custom home builds, or any related project.

A 119-year-old farmhouse that had been added on to here and there over the decades. Reconstructed a poorly designed addition, reroofed the entire house, and brought a few related aspects up to current code. We feel confident that our old house is protected and the character/charm preserved. The project manager was friendly, knowledgeable and provided frequent updates (and all the staff we interacted with were polite and professional).

This company is one of the BEST in town! Very professional and top notch customer service. They laid floors in my new home and they were competitive in price, absolutely wonderful to work with and have in my home, and they did a fabulous job. When I needed follow up Matt got back to me within 5 minutes and had someone at my house within half an hour. Very impressive. I am a Realtor in Boone and Blowing Rock and I recommend them to all my clients who are looking to build or remodel.

Matt has always been available, construction costs have been accurate, no surprises, VPC has handled everything starting with the design. This is my 5th custom home project and it's been the smoothest so far. Accurate numbers, professional staff, clean job site, on schedule. I highly recommend Matt and VPC and I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Choosing to work with VPC Builders has been the best decision I made. My husband and I bought a house that needed some updating before we could move in. The VPC contractor, Wendell, was knowledgeable, efficient, and reliable throughout the whole process, from getting the initial estimate on the work to coordinating for all the work to be done. As work was finished and I did a walkthrough with Wendell, I would find something else that needed attention. He was always eager to try to figure out how it could be fixed and then would have a subcontractor at the house the next day working on it. We ended up having 6 or 7 walkthroughs. I would never have been able to find and hire these master subcontractors on my own: plumbers, painters, electricians, carpenters, HVAC to name a few. They all worked diligently and the results show what talented people work for VPC Builders. Some of the work consisted of whole house interior painting which meant in some cases to remove wallpaper and wainscoting, removing a gas fireplace in the basement, hanging a mantle over the fireplace in the living room, tearing out a huge built-in entertainment center, replacing all toilets, installing new fixtures/hardware in bathrooms and kitchen, installing a fire door into the garage, installing an electronic dog door, and working with the inspector to make sure everything was up to code. Wendell was so easy to work with and he did exactly what he told me at the beginning of the project: "I want you to be happy at the end and we will get it just the way you want it." He did just that and we love our house! VPC Builders has done an excellent job and I would highly recommend them to everyone.
