We had Ray re insulate our Attic. Rays quote was in line with the other quotes I received, who…read morewere actually Duke Energy Contractors that did insulation exclusively! However Ray was willing to do more than blow insulation in to make sure our home would be warm and efficient! He took out all the old insulation, sealed up all holes and cracks that air would blow through. He installed covers over the light and installed baffles to keep the house regulated and not sweating! The others were only willing to blow on top of the pre existing old insulation! Ray was in and out in a few days! I trusted him enough to leave him a key to the house if he needed anything. I was glad to give the business to a veteran as well as Ray! I will be using Ray and One Shot Contracting for projects in the future! I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Just recently, Ken came out to service the tankless water heater and handle some other plumbing issues. We discussed installing a filtration system (especially after Helene), which we will move forward and install. He makes it very easy to discuss plumbing technologies as they are much different from just a few years ago. I recommend Ken and Carolina Plumbing Contractor.

Our PM hired Vick's Home Repair for a full interior paint job and popcorn ceiling removal. The…read moretotal cost of the project was $23,000. Several significant issues arose during and after completion: No primer was used in areas where it was necessary, resulting in peeling paint (immediately). Multiple paint lines were sloppy and inconsistent. Four full doors that were included in the scope and paid for were not painted at all. The kitchen ceiling was completely missed as well. When the team returned to address some of the issues, the doors and kitchen ceiling were still missed! They painted over existing paint without sanding or priming. Peeling continued. One door had a visible handprint embedded in the dried paint. The contractor acknowledged the issues. Although he offered to return and redo the work, the initial correction attempt did not resolve the issues, and the workmanship raised concerns about quality control. We went to several contractors to get quotes on fixing or just doing the missed work, and it was a few thousand dollars. Vick offered a $670 refund, which would not have covered even one set of French doors that had been paid for, but not painted. As a result, we hired another professional to repaint several doors that had been improperly completed, paint the doors that were not painted at all, repaint the kitchen ceiling, and correct peeling on multiple interior doors and walls. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Vick's Home Repair.

Victor has lived in Swannanoa for 18 years and has many years of experience in painting, drywall, and remodeling of spaces. I needed all my windows prepped and repainted, some on the second floor. I contacted several painters, some not returning calls and some giving me a wide range of bids. I vetted all companies and found Victor to be the most highly recommended by references and the most impressive in his dependable communication and integrity. I couldn't be happier with the work on my home and his excellent performance and his decency as a person. I might add his assistant Rafael was equally wonderful. I cannot say he was the lowest bid but his bid was fare for excellence and I am totally grateful to him.
