Client references

“I was introduced to Trey through a broker back in 2009 after just purchasing two downtown properties which were in need of a total gut and rebuild while dancing the fine line between modern city codes, historic tax credit requirements, sustainable building techniques and demanding tenant requirements for upfit. I’m glad I was. Trey did a great job in working with our architect in transforming the two vacant buildings into a high end two story cocktail bar with roof deck (Sazerac), a full service restaurant (Tingles Cafe) and six high end apartment spaces. The challenges with this project were immense, but at each step Trey came up with practical and creative solutions. His attention to staying on budget and on time were greatly appreciated. I would use Elm Construction again in a heartbeat.“

Eric Booker – Urban Green, Inc.

“We found the experience of working with Elm Construction quite good. Trey helped us attach a small building to the house and carport. All in all, things followed really smoothly, from budget to the final stage. The building is everything we wanted: functional, handsome, and solid. The crew is very professional, and take great pride in their work. We are pleased with the final product and Elm Construction.”

Donna – Fairview, NC



“I am well aware of the difficulties and one of a kind situations found in remodeling a hundred year old house such as ours. I have a general contractor’s license and work in a field of construction support which places me on site with a wide variety of contractors. There was no doubt in my mind that Trey was the most qualified contractor for the job.  He has superior communication, problem-solving, and construction design skills. He and his crew are relentlessly punctual, always good-humored and produce consistently fine quality work. He was accurate both in his pricing and time line estimates as well as able to discuss options and modify plans as work was in progress. We are quite pleased with the work and value we’ve received.”
