Customer Testimonials

Condo Renovation at The Islander in Wrightsville Beach NC

New Home Construction & Remodels

Lanphear has done extensive renovation and new construction for us at several locations. They are collaborative on both construction and design improvement during the building process. I have been impressed with some of the quality, clever ideas they have had to fix some longstanding problems we had with our house. They take the time to examine plans or problems to find the best way to proceed and communicate throughout the process. Their staff is knowledgeable, courteous and honest. They always let us know what is going on and come to us with not just problems but solutions we can use to make a decision. They are a solid, professional outfit. We highly recommend them.

Coastal Home Renovation & Expansion

Lanphear Builders recently (June, 2020) completed an extensive 14 month renovation/expansion of our beach house. Trevor and his entire team were truly exceptional: excellent craftsmanship and pride in work, creative problem solvers, responsive, and particularly good communicators. We very highly recommend them.

Condo Renovation at The Islander in Wrightsville Beach NC

Wrightsville Beach Condo Remodel

“Two years ago I bought a condo on the ocean – and spent the following months having it totally gutted, to the studs…Thankfully, I was fortunate to be introduced to the most amazing contractor: Trevor Lanphear at Lanphear Builders, Inc. Upon meeting and initial discussions, Trevor offered to take on my project, with its possible and probable myriad surprises, quirks, complications and challenges. We both took the leap, and shook hands. I then left town!  This was, by far, the scariest and ultimately most satisfying experience I’ve had.  Who gets to actually live in their dream?  Thanks to Trevor and team, I do.”
