I have some before pictures and some after pictures as well didn't get as many as I would have like to, but enough to give you an idea. The property had lots of water damage, plumbing issues, mold, the landscaping was out of control. I took down all the shurbs that had grown to trees to open up the view.

Hello Everyone, I was very fortunate on the first rehab I landed. It was a high end home at Sunset Beach,NC. The property in the condition I arrived was $675,000.  Once we finished and the investor had it reappraised, the value was increased to $875,000. We had to gut almost the whole house and start over. We refinished the existing hardwood, updated the kitchen and bathrooms, set new tile and backsplash, and added a utility room. It was a great job and it sold for $850,000. Not all my jobs are to this caliper, but it was great to start with that one!

I would like to say thanks to everyone. This site really seems like a great choice. I have received several warm welcomes and they greatly appreciated! I'm still learning how to navigate the site so if I don't get right back to you, I will! Thanks again everyone!

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum, but not to the business. I live in Raleigh, North Carolina with my family. My hopes are to expand my business through this forum. I do drywall, floors, paint, tile, plumbing, and more!!! Looking forward to what this has to offer.
