"I was looking for low maintenance flowerbeds in my front yard and Carolina Landscaping gave me exactly what I asked for. The work was very well done and communication was great from the beginning. A quick drawing was provided to show the design work as we were completely removing shrubs and planting new ones. I am definitely planning to use them for my backyard project."

Thomas Built is a full range, state-licensed general contractor providing expertise and management of all phases of residential and multi-family construction. From kitchen and bathroom remodels to home additions to brand new homes, we pride ourselves on quality and service. We also do much of our own work such as our own mill work and custom built cabinets.
"I contacted Thomas Built to see if they could construct a fireplace mantle and surround for us. Terry came out did some measuring and gave us a quote. We worked on fine tuning things and waited until they had a break in their major projects. Terry returned for final measurements after we had granite tiles laid. The fireplace was built and delivered within three days. My husband stained it and installed it to save on the cost. Couldn't be happier with the final project. It does take some flexibility to work with Thomas Built when a project is this small, but it's well worth it."

"Ok, Jeremy, Ken and Garrett just finished some work on my house for $1,150.39, it was quality work that needed to be done since my house was build in 1950. They even found stuff that should have never been allowed to be in the house, that the inspector missed. Because of all this crazy pandemic stuff going on they have been pulled pretty thin. The only complaint would be that it took several and I mean several times, and dates before they were able to finish the job. With that being said I truly appreciate them coming and staying late the last day to finish the job. We now have a bathroom that for over a year was broken that we can now use, which makes my daughter very happy. I will definitely use them again and recommend this company to others that are in need of plumbing. I also liked how Darren the owner came out and even explained some issues we were having. I appreciate this company, and that they are a small business during this time we need to support companies like this one."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars for NGLCG! Tyler and Jacob were fantastic. Earlier this year, they built us an outdoor patio covering with a stone fireplace and outdoor kitchen island. Tyler understood our vision from the beginning and brought it to life — he made it better than we imagined! He was very mindful of our budget and would provide suggestions on ways to cut cost without compromising what we wanted. Of course, every decision was still up to us. The quality of their work is fantastic and extremely detailed. I was so appreciative of the hours and time they put into our project. I would recommend them to anyone! To find an honest builder that does quality work and fair pricing is a rare-find, and I am so thrilled that my family was blessed to work with Tyler!"

Trip Charges are included in the price per job. I do give FREE estimates on all jobs with the exception of " Insurance Estimate Jobs". For any job that is requiring an estimate for the insurance company. There will be a charge of $25.00 per estimate. IF I am awarded the job, this $25.00 will be deducted off of your final price. Therefore making it a FREE estimate. Unfortunately I've given FREE estimates in the past for these jobs, only to have the homeowner ONLY use me long enough to get the money from the insurance company & I never hear from them again. This is the only way I can see to keep it honest. There are many " handyman" companies out there today, but I believe that one of the things that sets me apart from them, is I have actually been in the industry for over 25yrs. This is not new to me. Also, I believe in 'honesty'. If you ask me to quote you for a job, that I am NOT completely comfortable with, I will be honest & tell you I'm not skilled in that area. But I will be happy to help you find someone who is, & someone you can trust, @ NO Charge to you. I do all the work myself, I'm not an owner that goes out, gives you an estimate & then sends a crew of men to do the job. I do it myself. I rarely have the need to use an outside "subcontractor". If I do have that need, you will know first.

Major home repairs (general contractor) FAQs
A general contractor oversees a project from start to completion. They create the project’s timeline and schedule, hire, manage, and pay subcontractors and workers, and purchase and deliver building materials and supplies. They’ll also acquire necessary permits and HOA approvals, plan and execute necessary project changes, and make sure work meets quality standards.
Hiring an independent general contractor costs between 10% and 20% of your overall project cost, with larger projects incurring fees up to 25%. This fee covers complete project oversight, scheduling, and subcontractor management. The fee ranges from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting the full scope of the planned work and ensuring seamless coordination throughout the construction process.
General contractors typically provide estimates at no charge, but some may charge a small fee, especially for more complex projects. It's important to secure a written estimate, as it establishes a transparent agreement on project scope, labor, materials, and any additional fees. This helps protect you against unforeseen expenses and ensures clarity before the work begins.
When hiring a general contractor, you must provide an upfront deposit that ranges from 10% to 20% of your overall project cost. This deposit secures material orders, labor scheduling, and initial project preparations. An upfront deposit exceeding 50% is a clear warning sign and should prompt thorough contract verification before proceeding.
