On September 9th, James sent three workers who, based on what I observed, did not seem experienced with concrete work. They used what looked like mud and sand instead of proper materials. After completing about 25% of the job, the work was so poorly done that I had to stop them to prevent further damage. I called James right away, and he came about four days later. After seeing the job, he agreed it was unacceptable and said he would fix it, but that never happened. After many excuses and delays, I asked for a refund, which I still haven't received. In my opinion, do not pay C & J Storm Repair Team LLC or James Patterson in advance. My experience was extremely frustrating and costly.

From cracks in the wall above office French doors to cracks in the corner of three out of the four bathroom walls, to very possible illegal immigrants working for the company I still would not recommend them to build my house. They built my house from the start not an addition to an existing house and leaving a review as a former HOA president Has done. I have no skin in the game nor have nothing to gain from this review or gained anything from this review. Just plain and simple poor subcontractors working for this company who during Covid was stuck into purchasing a house with regrets years later. Please do your homework. They will say they can do something, which they can, but below normal standards to include overextending themselves to supposedly correctly repair road issues and then cause a homeowner to have to cut down trees on their property due to their companies lack of knowledge in that area. Even their own workers who have worked for them for numerous years have said the company is going down the drain. IF you choose to use this company to build your house, PLEASE make sure they do not have any more homes to build in one of the subdivisions owners properties. They will not do anything to help you, but rather watch their bottom dollar by only doing things to get to build more homes in a subdivision by doing what the subdivision land owner wants. These are not my words, but directly from the foreman at that date in times words.

His 10 years workmanship warranty is also the longest among the bids we received. However one thing that sets him apart and made us decide to hire him is that he is honest, not pushy and has a no-frill approach. He didn't try to upsell anything. In fact he offered quality shingles without charging extra $$. His crew worked efficiently and did the clean-up very well. They installed the roof in one day. The whole process only took less than 2 weeks, from receiving the quote until we have our new beautiful roof installed. All in all we are very happy with the outcome and will gladly recommend him to anybody who asks for roofing company.

We are very pleased with our new roof and the extra touches that I did not expect. Our roof looks much better than the last roofing we had from a cheaper contractor. We had the enhanced HDZ shingles installed. It is a 50 yr warranty on the products, and their warranty for workmanship is also better than the other quotes we received.

Closer Look General Contracting (aka We'llStickItToYou GC)…read more About a year ago, Closer Look GC was subcontracted to remove an engineered floor (which is glued down), and install new laminate flooring. They showed up and began the removal process of the engineered hardwood. It was clear that they were having difficulty removing the glue from the concrete. I explicitly stated that they needed to inform me prior to installing the laminate flooring because I wanted to ensure the glue was gone before the install. I was working from home so I could supervise the work. Unfortunately I had to leave for about 30 minutes. When I returned they had a large portion of the flooring installed on top of the area that had glue remaining, but they assured me that there was no glue remaining. They had at least 4 men here doing work, using cutting tools and it was very loud. They were banging against walls with their tools, which concerned me because I had just had the place repainted. They also only spoke in Spanish so I was unable to know what the conversations were about. Although they needed to return at a later date because they didn't have the correct door threshold, they finished everything else in one day! Thank goodness they didn't have it, because I did not pay them the remaining balance at that time. Well, a few MONTHS later they called to let me know the threshold had arrived and they were ready to return to install it. I told the field supervisor, "I'm not so sure I want you back in my house. You ruined my newly-painted walls, and the flooring makes a 'sticky' sound when walked on it". I followed up by telling them that they could return if they were willing to pull the flooring up and redo it, at their sole expense. I also told them they needed to repair the wall damage. He pretty much hung up on me. I never paid the remaining $3,500 and they never challenged that, so you know they did a poor job. Don't be fooled by their website pics. The gallery pictures shown of the brown and yellow house (with Bluestone) under 'Exteriors' are impressive, and very misleading. Closer Look GC does poor work. Their appraiser even told me that the client of that house was a "pain in the a$$". I'm not kidding. That should have been my red flag. So take a Closer Look before you hire Closer Look GC.

Homeowners Beware - Our Experience with Blue Line Construction (Daniel Mabe)…read more Our experience with Daniel Mabe of Blue Line Construction has been extremely disappointing, frustrating, and likely expensive. We feel it's important to share the details so other homeowners can make informed decisions. We initially contacted Daniel on May 20, 2025. He came out to assess our project and later sent us a quote on May 23, 2025 Some modifications were made to the design and scope and a deposit of $7,852.00 was wired to him. After he received our deposit, Daniel's communication and responsiveness - never great - declined dramatically. Messages, calls, and texts often went unanswered for days or weeks at a time. When we were able to get hold of him, Daniel repeatedly told us that he was dealing with issues within his company, including staffing shortages and financial challenges which was contributing to his inability to solidify our project plans or provide a reliable start date. In an effort to be cooperative, we offered to delay the project start until 2026 if that would help resolve his situation. He expressed appreciation for our flexibility and assured us that we would be taken care of. Unfortunately, after that conversation we again heard nothing for weeks. Under North Carolina contract law, a party who fails to perform its contractual obligations or refuses to respond to reasonable inquiries regarding performance may be deemed to have materially breached the agreement. Its also contrary to Daniel's own words on his webstite: "Effective communication is key in both law enforcement and construction. We prioritize open and transparent communication to keep you informed every step of the way. " After months of delays, we finally took a firm stance and requested a definitive start date. Daniel then informed us that the project would begin on March 9, 2025 and sent a calendar invite to that effect. However, that date came and went with no appearance and no communication from him whatsoever. At that point, we began pursuing legal remedies, and information from the North Carolina Attorney General's Office confirmed that Daniel was in breach of contract and that the contract was therefore null and void. We presented this information to Daniel and formally requested the return of our $7,852.00 deposit. After receiving that notice, he began stating that he could complete the project, but by then the evidence was clear of his inability to follow through or complete the work as promised. Daniel stated that he needed time to "get the money together" to return our deposit. This was unexpected as he had indicated that no materials had been purchased with our deposit. However, we gave him 15 days to return the deposit and/or provide/deliver the materials he was supposed to have purchased along with receipts showing the purchase dates to verify they had been obtained prior to our refund request. He provided neither. As of today, we have heard nothing further from him, and his company website has since been removed. Daniel appears to operate under multiple business names, including Blue Line Construction, Blue Line Fencing, and Blue Line Painting, among others. None of these businesses appear to be registered with the Better Business Bureau, and the terms and conditions listed across these companies are inconsistent and do not align with the terms stated in his contracts. Daniel has also stated that he previously worked in law enforcement, stating on his website that "At Blue Line Construction NC, our mission is clear: to combine our law enforcement values of integrity, dedication, and community service with our construction expertise to improve the homes and lives of our clients." We aren't feeling it. We are sharing our experience so that other homeowners do not face the same situation. We will also be reporting our experience to any and all local suppliers, deck companies, contractors, law officials, and social media platforms to help ensure others are aware of what we experienced with Blue Line Construction. Our own research has also revealed other homeowners who appear to have had similar experiences with Daniel Mabe. One was facing a $60,000 loss. Some have initiated legal proceedings, and one stated that Daniel has received letters from their attorneys that have gone unanswered. A decking company informed us that another homeowner--an elderly couple--had reportedly lost $10,000 for their deck project as well. Hearing this only reinforced our concern that others may be facing similar situations. If you are considering hiring Blue Line Construction or Daniel Mabe, we strongly encourage you to proceed with extreme caution and conduct thorough due diligence before entering into any agreement.
