Bull City Contracting has been absolutely amazing. If you value great customer service and high…read morequality work, look no further, from the moment you meet the owner (Tim), it feels like you are talking with a friend that you have known all of your life, which means a lot to us. We really felt valued and not like a transactional number unlike some of the "larger named companies". In the first 10 minutes of conversation with Tim, you will find that He is knowledgeable about roofing. He explains the entire process well leaving you feeling well educated about what to expect. I loved that He sent us photos and updates during the process from start to finish which is rare to find these days and so much appreciated. We found Bull City Contracting to be very reasonably priced while maintaining high quality work, communicative, honest and thoughtful from start to finish and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family anytime. Thank you again. -Autumn and Jon from Timberlake, NC

I was completely taken aback by how CCKB handled our installation--and the customer service was…read moreeven worse. If you want the short version: unless everything goes perfectly, you're risking your hard-earned money. Keep this in mind, I spent over $5,000 for a countertop and was provided something incorrect, and was mocked for thinking someone should apologize. If your installation is straightforward, you might be fine. But if anything--anything--goes wrong, be prepared. CCKB takes zero personal responsibility and will deflect blame onto anything or anyone else. Some background. ~15 years ago, I worked in the kitchen and bath industry. I'd heard some rumors about CCKB back then but never had much direct experience with their work. Fast forward--I was referred to them by a remodeling company. I hesitated, but decided to give them a shot based on the referral. Also worth noting: I've been involved in over four dozen kitchen installations and personally built eight wood countertops. I know how to template, how to handle out-of-plumb walls, and how overhangs work. I'm not a random customer. We had a single slab of honed quartzite, very specific design specs, and a setup that was 100% ready--walls, cabinets, and layout. During templating for the makeup vanity, it was even noted that I requested an extended overhang on the left side (near a doorway). The right side was bordered by a tall pantry-style cabinet, and the back edge met a wall that was out of plumb (which we all knew going in). What showed up? A completely botched countertop. The right side was cut at a ~15-degree diagonal--shorter in the back than the front--leaving a 7/8" gap where the counter should have been flush with the pantry cabinet. Think of a rectangle with three straight sides, and the fourth side hacked at an angle. To be fair, the installer did the best he could but neither him, nor the installation manager offered any recommendation on how to fix it. They originally offered to cut the finished left end, but neither my contract nor I could see how that would fix anything. The suggestion to fix this, came from me. After measuring the angle, there was only one way to fix the gap "Scribe it to the cabinet" just the way the template should have been done to begin with. So, he cut off the angled portion (with an impressively steady hand), but we lost the overhang we had designed. I told the install team I wasn't happy, and then, silence. No call from CCKB--just an invoice. When I finally called, I spoke with someone who I believe is a co-owner. She kept insisting the issue was due to the back wall being out of plumb--totally missing the fact that the actual error was on the side, not the back. The template and CAD drawings showed the measurements she said and the mistake was "the wall being out of plumb"; however, after speaking to everyone NOT associated with CCKB, the mistake was clearly the cut. I tried to explain calmly that this wasn't about the wall--it was a simple length measurement along the side. She repeated herself again, ignoring the facts. I finally told her, "I don't think you understand what I'm trying to say." That's when she laughed at me. Loudly. Mockingly. She then snapped, "Okay, what do you want?" I said calmly, "I don't think I should be charged full price." Her response? "Fine. I'll give you $200 off." I told her I appreciated the gesture, but what I really wanted was an apology and some accountability. Instead, she laughed again and said: "What do you want me to tell you? That you're right? Ok, You're right! *mockingly* I'm sorry, you win! Does that make you feel better?!" I was stunned. Her tone was completely unprofessional and condescending. I told her I just wanted acknowledgment of the issue, and an apology would have been nice. Let's be clear: the only reason this install was even usable was because I guided the installers on how to fix it. The installers had no plan. Bottom line, every company makes mistakes and I believe that's human. But how a company responds to those mistakes defines its integrity. CCKB failed that test completely.

Spent the next 7 mo. meeting with vendors, material selections and pricing aspects of the project, etc. 05/24/24: Notified via a 3-way phone call (myself, husband and owner) that the owner would not be finishing the project. Excuse shared was r/t distance of property (Chapel Hill) to his business based in Raleigh. Owner invoiced later that day of what he believed he was owed of the ~ $50K. We requested itemized vendor invoices to justify what he had invoiced. Interior Designer and his invoice was not itemized. Owner became disrespectful in his communications. Communications from that point on moved to written with delivery sent via USPS certified. We sought legal counsel and felt owner was in breach of the contract x3 points: 1. Time frame project was to start & finish 2. Never notified us in writing (at least 10 days in advance) to terminate contract. 3. Owner did not honor to jointly secure a construction mediator in the event of a monetary dispute. From 05/24/24 owner retained ~$28K of our unused funds after terminating the contract. This action is a violation of Chapter 75 of the North Carolina General Statues of unfair and deceptive trade practice. The monetary dispute only involved funds used to purchase materials, services and his time/travel. 09/16/24: We filed litigation against Tobin Construction, LLC through the Wake County General Court of Justice, District Court. 10/17/24: The magistrate ruled in favor of us mandating the owner to pay the disputed amount + 8% interest retroactive to 05/24/24. This is not a contractor anyone should consider. Please let our experience save you from this nightmare.

He walked our property and quickly established his expertise on the subject matter. Bryan designed a massive French drain system with several catch basins and a dry well. Our project also included installation of an expanded paver patio with re-grading and re-sodding of our property. Bryan's passion for his work and his keen eye for details made him a joy to work with.
