A small residential general contractor in Wilmington, North Carolina. One project at a time. One project lead from demolition to punch list. A standing rule that the customer hears the truth first.
Cabinetry, tile, plumbing fixtures and lighting — sourced and managed by us, billed at cost.
Small rear or side additions, foundation through finish. Framing tied cleanly into what was already there.
Layouts that work, finishes that age well, a schedule you can plan a life around. Above the Phase 1 ceiling — available once the unlimited license is in hand.
One curated under the LLC; the rest carried forward from Andrew’s pre-LLC work, awaiting curation. Names and metadata read [TBD] until they’re filed — never invented.
A 120-square-foot screened enclosure off the rear deck — cedar frame, marine-grade screen, a tongue-and-groove ceiling, and an existing door cut to a flap the cats use on their own schedule.
The first job Revenant carried from inquiry to invoice under the Phase 1 license. Quoted on a Saturday walk-through; framed and standing inside two weeks.
A walk-through, a notebook, and an honest read of the place. No quote until we have one we will stand behind.
Plans you can hold. Drawings the trades can build from. A schedule with dates that mean something.
One project lead from demolition to punch list. The site stays swept; you stay informed.
A year-one walkthrough. Doors checked, caulk checked, anything off the line, fixed. Returning is the brand.
A house moves. Wood settles. A door that hung true in October may need a hinge tap in September. Twelve months after the keys turn over, we walk the project with you — doors, caulk, hinges, hardware, any line that has shifted.
Anything off, we fix on the spot. The visit is on us. We call it the year-one return; the brand is named for it.
The proposal arrives within ten business days of the walk-through. No padding, no allowances we can't defend, no quotes thrown over a fence.
In plain English. What we are doing, what we are not doing, and what we recommend you decide before signing.
Trades, materials, fixtures, and management — broken out so you can see what your money is buying.
Milestone dates we will stand behind, with a clear note where the schedule depends on something outside our control.
How changes are priced, signed, and added — written so there are no surprises when the inevitable happens.
One real note today. Pre-LLC field notes will be transcribed and attributed once Andrew reaches the owners during the curation pass.
“Andrew came out on a Saturday, walked the yard with the cats, quoted it honestly, and built the thing inside two weeks. The screen is taut. The cedar already looks like it has been here forever.”
The three questions every owner is thinking about. We answer them here so the walk-through can be about the house.
Schedules drift when the contractor padded the date he gave you. Ours don't. The dates in your proposal are the dates we will hit; if something outside our control will move them, you hear about it the day we know.
We don't use placeholder allowances. By the time you sign, we have selected the cabinets, the tile, the plumbing fixtures, the lighting — and they are priced. Allowances are how a project goes 30% over. We don't.
Every change order is written, priced, and signed before the work happens. No surprises on the final invoice. The policy is in the proposal; it does not move during the project.
Revenant Construction is run by Andrew Selvig, a Wilmington carpenter who has been framing, hanging, and finishing houses since 2006. He came back to the trade after time away — clearer-eyed about what good work asks of a small company.
Five percent of every project supports Sacred Bridge Outreach.
