I am way overdue to provide a review of Vicus Builders because my experience with Vicus and the…read morelength of time that I have worked with them are noteworthy and I hope this review will benefit others. I initially met Vicus back in 2005 and decided to purchase /build a new home with Vicus in the Cotswold area of Charlotte. Vicus completed the home in the spring on 2006 and I just recently sold that home after living there twelve years. The sale of the property was fairly quick and the buyers, at closing, commented to me that features and quality of workmanship of the home as primary reasons for their purchasing it. During the home build back in 2005 and early 2006, Vicus listened to any concerns I had and were always quick to respond. The end result was a home that I was proud to have purchased, never experienced any regrets and I felt comfortable living there through 12 years until a job change required me to sale. Although I didn't experience any significant repairs to the home during my entire 12 years owning the home, Vicus was always available to me for questions right from the start, including honoring the one year builder warranty and they addressed my punch list items quickly. Over the years, Vicus has continuously helped me address questions about the property and even assisted me during my recent closing to provide information about how some of the original construction was performed. This continued relationship through the years clearly demonstrates how much Vicus appreciates their customers! I don't often provide online reviews but given my experience through the years with Vicus and how much Vicus demonstrates their commit to their customers to not only build a quality home but also provide good customer service, I felt compelled to do so. So, while I may be overdue with this review given the length of time I have worked with Vicus, I am able to provide a comprehensive long term view of their work and customer service which has been outstanding. Couple that view with the recent sale of the property Vicus built for me which resulted in appreciated value for me, I am very happy and all this amounted to why I decided on five stars for this review of Vicus Builders!

I have dealt with many contractors and some of them I truly believe worked for someone else and thought they could do the same level of work but didn't. Joe and CCS were true professionals. I had an advocate making sure everything was right. I refer them and plan on using them again.

Based upon a recommendation from a neighbor who had NCA Carolinas construct their home's addition,…read morewe contacted NCA Carolinas for a sunroom addition. A representative came out with an architect to discuss our project. They left after a short while, with the promise that the next step was to be the architect contacting us with some sketches. Never heard back from either the architect or NCA Carolinas. Our next door neighbor also had NCA Carolinas come out for their project, and the same thing - they never heard back from them again. All we can assume is that our home additions were not large enough project for NCA Carolinas to be bothered with. The fact that we never heard back from them speaks volumes about their service. As such, I can not recommend NCA Carolinas for any project.

We signed a contract for a construction project located at our primary property on May 6, 2024 with…read moreCarolina Contracting and Investment, Inc. The contract was signed with Glenn Wise located at 1632 Village Harbor Dr., Lake Wylie, SC. 28710. The project was to remove the roof of the 3-car detached garage extend the 3-car garage to six car garage and build a 2-bedroom 2 bath above the detached garage. Once the contract was signed by Mr. Wise, he turned over the construction of the project to Andrew Neweth, project manager and Art Regnier, supervisor. There were several problems with the construction project: The electrical for the detached project was to run through our Primary Dwelling, which already existed. We were told by Carolina Contracting that the county would not approve. However, the county did approve, but the concrete contractor had already poured the garage floor. This did not allow the placement of electrical in the detached garage. This was additional project cost to owner. The next issue was that the patio door was to be 12 foot wide but the Project Manager ordered and installed a 9 foot. The master bath was to have a walk- in tub. The framer was not told by contractor and framing was installed and installing of walk-in tub could not done. The front of the original detached garage was removed and the existing brick was cleaned of mortar and placed in yard. I asked the brick contractor why they did not use the removed cleaned brick. The contactor indicated that he was not told to install the brick. This was a cost to the owner for cleaning of brick. The biggest concern is the exterior brick that was installed. I had raised the concern back in January 2025. The brick ordered was manufactured by Triangle brick. The name that was ordered was Southampton. The original supply of brick was correct. The brick contractor ordered a second delivery of brick; however, it did not match the first supply of brick. He ordered a third order of brick, but again that supply did not match the original order. The brick contractor had the original order and the third order removed from property and used the Second order to complete project. The brick contractor was insisting that the brick would be a closer match after being pressure washed. There was a brick stainer that came out to our property several times to stain the brick. This process did not work and I was not satisfied with results. A contact from Carolina Brick and Material, brick supplier, came out to the property and asked how did the stainer perform his work. After we talked, he indicated that the end result was not acceptable. The color of the detached structure is lighter than the Primary dwelling. This looks bad and does not match the original structure. We were told by Glenn Wise that there would not use the contractors for Electrical, Plumbing and Concrete/block in future. The overall project was far from acceptable. There was no supervision from Glenn Wise, Andrew and Art. We would NOT hire Carolina Contractor and Investment again

The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented throughout the entire bathroom and cabinetry project. They took the time to really understand what I wanted and offered thoughtful suggestions that made the final result even better than I had imagined. The craftsmanship is outstanding -- the cabinetry is not only beautiful but also built with exceptional quality, and my bathroom now feels like a luxury space. Communication was smooth the whole way through, and they kept everything on schedule and within budget. It's rare to find a company that combines skill, reliability, and genuine care for their customers, but this team absolutely delivers. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their home -- you won't be disappointed! Victor Castillo

We hired GLR Kitchen and Bath remodeling to do two full bathroom remodels, our guest bathroom, and…read moreour master bathroom, install a vanity area in our bedroom, and install some windows. We signed a contract for about $45,000 worth of work in December 2021 and work didn't start until May 2022. They started a week early and went over deadline about 3 weeks. There were days people didn't even show up. They pushed and pushed for full payment on a job that was not even close to being finished and when we refused to give them the final payment until the job was completed, with lots of back and forth, they told us they were done with our job and not coming back. Our final punch list was a page long, full shower glass enclosures in both bathrooms were never installed, wainscot wall coverings were incomplete and not installed well, sloppy seams and wood trim throughout, painting and drywall work was sloppy, chipped tiles and some of the new custom cabinetry was marred. We wanted to keep our existing wood trim but most of it got ruined by the elements because of their carelessness. The wood trim they used to replace ours was a different kind of wood, stained two shades too dark and wood filler was two shades too light. They left paint rollers hanging in trees, paint spills on the driveway and nails in the driveway which punctured our car tires. They continued to make it very clear that the contract was a fixed rate contract however they didn't honor that, specifically the wainscot material, they said the original material cost increased significantly and gave us two other material options to choose from that were significantly cheaper, so their contract was most definitely not a fixed rate contract. They failed to order material in a timely manner and expected us to eat it and go with a lower quality material. We also ordered $4,500 worth of custom bedroom furniture about halfway thru that we never received and after they told us they weren't coming back we asked for our furniture deposit back, which they refused, they sent us pictures of the furniture frames, with no drawers, knobs or finish and told us to come get it since material was already paid for. This is just bad business. We contacted the NC Contractors licensing board to file a complaint and learned our contract was illegal because their license wasn't valid when we signed the initial contract. That investigation is still pending. We ultimately had to hire our own glass company for the shower glass install and a new plumber to come out and fix low water pressure in both showers and zero hot water in the guest shower. The new plumber found wood chips in the shower heads and told us they used natural gas line pipe dope instead of Teflon tape to seal the connections, there are no gas lines in our home. We were left having to fix all the mismatched wood trim, sloppy paint, drywall and several other issues ourselves. GLR Kitchen and Bath remodeling cannot handle a big job and I would never recommend this company to do work, big or small, in your home.
