Where we work
Eight areas, and they aren't the same job.
A 1926 Dilworth bungalow and a 1958 Cotswold ranch fail in completely different ways. A builder who can't tell you how has worked on neither.
We work across Charlotte and the towns around it. What changes between these places is not the drive — it is the era the houses were built, what is behind the plaster, what the setbacks allow, and whether the exterior is reviewed before you can get a permit.
Permits run through Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement (LUESA) everywhere except Davidson, which reviews its own.
- 01Dilworth1900s–1920s, with 1930s infillHistoric districtCharlotte's first streetcar suburb, and the one where the exterior of your house isn't entirely your decision.
- 02Myers Park1910s–1930s, with substantial 1950s and 1990s additionsGrand houses, mature trees, and a hundred years of other people's renovations to unpick before yours can start.
- 03Plaza Midwood1920s bungalows and 1940s–1950s ranch, often on the same streetHistoric districtTwo housing stocks thirty years apart sharing a street, and they fail in completely different ways.
- 04Elizabeth1910s–1920s, Craftsman and Colonial RevivalThe lots are small and the houses are close together, so nearly every addition here is a question about height, not footprint.
- 05Eastover1920s–1940s, brick Georgian and Tudor RevivalSolid masonry houses where the expensive decisions are all about matching what's already there.
- 06Cotswold1950s–1960s ranchPost-war ranches with good bones, generous lots and ceilings that decide what's possible.
- 07Davidson1890s–1930s in the old town, heavy 1990s–2000s planned infillHistoric districtA historic college town with its own planning ordinance, and a large stock of 1990s houses that are now old enough to need real work.
- 08Waxhaw1990s–2010s, on larger lots, with an older village coreBigger lots and newer houses, where the constraint is rarely the building and often what's under the garden.
Not on the list?
We work across most of Mecklenburg and into Union and Iredell. Tell us where the house is and we will say plainly whether it is somewhere we build well.
