When we moved to Wilkesboro we had a vision for a pool entertainment area that was a little different than your average pool house. We talked to several contractors but used Chuck Wallis (CWC) and are so glad we did. From the start Chuck, Micah and Rodney (designer) were the only contractors who seemed to get our vision and helped us to streamline it, both adding features that we're very glad we did, and changing a few that didn't make sense logistically. Dealing with them during the planning process was fantastic. The resulting "Banana Mac's" pool bar/house is all we had hoped for and more. We are thrilled with the final product! The only room for improvement we would add would be that, once construction began, communication could have been better. That would have avoided some frustration and confusion with final billing and project completion. That said, we highly recommend CWC and, should we decide to do additional construction, we would certainly use them again. Thanks guys, the bar is open! read more

We contracted with Chuck Wallis to build a new custom home for us. Chuck Wallis construction was handed a very detailed plan with several outsourced vendors. The contract with CWC was for everything but the basement walls and timber frame. The problems and tension with our project started and ended with dealing with CWC. A few of our experiences: 1. CWC accepted delivery and stored ~$30,000 of aluminum clad wood windows in our future basement where the windows were exposed to bad weather. We rescued the windows from the rain and covered them with plastic. The next day CWC reluctantly provided a trailer to store the windows. 2. The actual cost for our project was over $100,000 more than the CWC estimate. CWC played games with their invoices allowing us to pay for several pieces of our contract, not to exceed their licensed contractor limit. However, the NC State Board for Licensed General Contractor complaint director has told us the limit applies to the total construction cost for the house. Not what was invoiced. 3. It took months for CWC to line up a mason, concrete guy, grader, septic guy, and painter. Still work is not complete. The painter said he would come back to finish in August. We are still waiting. 4. CWC allowed our floor trusses to be dumped on our property and left uncovered in the rain for about 6 weeks. The trusses were put up with black mold. We insisted for mold remediation measures to be taken. It took awhile, but it was done. 5. CWC ignored our requests to correct erosion that occurred after grading for our retaining wall. Then, after the correction for the grading for our retaining wall we developed a pond. It has cost us over $6500 to hire a experienced and competent grader to remediate a sinkhole that opened up 4 days after we moved into to our new home. We asked for a drain. CWC did not recommend a drain. CWC recommended planting grass. The sinkhole was mother nature's drain. 6. Our CWC cabinets have paint defects. The paint rubs off then you touch the trim. So with all our experiences - there are more - we do not recommend CWC for any project larger than a garage or room addition. 1 hour ago read more
