We absolutely adore our new home!  Our original home was built in 1983, but thanks to Essence of…read moredesign it looks and feels like a brand new dream home.  Essence of design expanded our entire house including the bedrooms, baths and closets.  They also added a half bath, his and her closets, mud room and back porch.  They also enclosed and extended our garage to incorporate a workspace and storage room. We replaced the plumbing, electrical, HVAC and added a fortified roof. The kitchen is amazing!  Infinity Cabinets replaced all our cabinets and they are all slow close.  We have a fancy coffee cabinet to hide our coffee maker and my favorite is the secret spice and cooking utensil cabinets.  The quartz countertops are the main attraction which are featured on a huge island that has hidden storage cabinets.  We worked with Wilmington appliance for all our kitchen appliances and Ferguson for our lighting and bath fixtures.  They were all wonderful!  The tile contractor also did amazing work.   Special thanks to many individuals at Essence, but especially Mike who did it all!  He specially designed and crafted the cabinets in our mud room and custom design our his and her closets.  Also thanks to Cassie who kept everyone organized.  Also thanks to some or our favorite people who helped all of this come to fruition - Eddie, Jay, Steve, Chrissy and Brian.  Also, thank you for being so kind to us and our overly friendly dog, Winston. You are the best and we love our forever home.  Sincerely,  Lauren, Craig and Winston

This Chris guy completely sucks and wasted my time! First off He missed our first Scheduled…read moreappointment and Then had a excuse that made no sense why he pulled a no call no show! It took another week just to get him here, then after that. I give him 2 weeks plus a third ( for holiday reasons and his busy schedule, pretty much benifit of dought) & to get my estimate out to me .He has a excuse each week on why nothing's been sent over ! Look I have had someone recently work on my house called Coco construction and they did a terrible job and scammed me out of 2 grand I have a entire siding and decking that needs another whole replacement. Wilmington home improvement where supposed to have my back and fix what happened he made me feel safe at first . But they have done nothing but play games and give me Excuses! I felt like I have been treated even worse then coco Construstruction treated me . So Can I just please find a truthful and upfront and dedicated company for once! Like Jesus what's so hard about caring for you're customers?! So don't believe the fake reviews they have posted guys . He sucks and on first appearance he looked to me like he was on some drugs even if half the time he did have a few intelligent remarks but just wait till YOU see for yourself if you choose! Overall Not a good pick if you're just a average hardworking person ! He's just trying to make himself look good with all the helping photos from big easy jobs due to the storm for big Businesses and rich people or people that at least live very comfortably! I can understand being busy but there's no excuse for this treatment. I know he has been receiving my messages because we both have iPhones it tells me. So listen people I'm not just a a up tight and ignorant person that's just pissed off , NO! because if he didn't want this job or to help us he should have just said that from the start not beat around the bush, so I can find someone else. I even asked him if he plans on wasting my time and is too busy for this job I will find someone else's I just need to know now... this was after waiting a week and half for a freaking estimate! That let me remind you the estimate wasn't that difficult I'm sure of it and he said he would help me with a statement on how the previous work done was not correct so I did really feel at first he was being a good person . His response to my question was - (Chris) " I would never waste you're time I am sorry" but look how far that got me ! Then every week after was "I'm busy I'm sorry I will get it out to u this evening " but every week & day nothing ! And if that's how he is about a damn estimate I would hate to see how he works ! nobody has time for a LIAR! I hope this review helps whomever is reading , because I strongly suggest you pick someone else, I don't ever post reviews about people but lately people keep screwing me over and this guy knew about that, the website claims to be 24/7 emergency service and they are honest and reliable . None of that is true tho and if it is true then it most certainly didn't include me on that type of treatment after patently waiting for weeks and being very respectful up until today!

Chris Batts, President, Olde Anchor Building Co, built our custom house on the intracoastal in…read moreHampstead in 2023. We can't say enough about the Great job he did. He is a meticulous craftsman with an eye for detail and beauty. As any build there were challenges that he saw ahead of time and planned for and corrected them. His framer, Arturo, was also fantastic. The two of them would discuss every aspect of our house to avoid any problems. Chris was on site every single day, rain or shine. He looked out for it like it was his own laying down tarps, moving material around to avoid bad weather. Chris worked closely with me and my wife to give us the house of our dreams. We moved from Washington, DC to NC and the water having never lived on the water before. There were many things we had to learn about water, salt and wind. Chris was there always making the great recommendations in order to protect our investment. We had a custom home built with a lot of high end appliances and features. My one issue was Chris's regular tile installer was too busy and the complexity of the job would've made it so he couldn't take other work so we got a different installer. They put an inexpensive tile on the top of expensive tile on the steam shower bench seat, the top of the knee wall in the main bathroom and the guest bath, and the niches in the shower. We have been in the house 1 year and there have been no issues. The punch list was done soon after we moved in. Some caulk dried in the kitchen which was touched up by the painter immediately after a call. We have had many people come and look at our home and they all make the comment, "Your builder did a fantastic job building your home. Everything is beautiful, plumb and well built." I would highly recommend Olde Anchor Building Co for a custom home build. If we build another, Chris will be our builder!!
