Looking for remodeling contractor and a custom home builder!

[Beau Watson]

Good morning BP!! 

Looking for some recommendations. 

I have a 3/2 manufactured home I am under contract for in Canton, NC. I am looking for a general contractor to be able to do a remodel. This is a 90s model home but will need a bit of everything. I am aware all contractors are busy as can be, but if anyone has recommendation on who I can call before I just start going down the list on google it would be very helpful. 

The 2nd project I have going in the area is building a 3/3 home near Lake Lure. I have the land and I am in the process to get the well and septic permit. I need to find a custom home builder. I do not want to use some generic builder that only has 20 or so plans to pick from. Would love to find someone that is a bit more "custom". We are not wanting something extravagant just need something specific because we are going to use it as a STR. My wife and I went old school and checked out 10 or so home plan books from our local library and have a good idea in mind for what we want. If any one has a builder they have used I would be very grateful for a recommendation.

Lenders have been easier to find on my real estate journey but if anyone wants to drop a bank they like for construction loans I am always happy to call a recommended bank first. 

Thanks BP!
