Three fields. It reaches a person here, not a call centre.
Greater Charlotte Contracting handles home renovation in Cornelius, NC from roofing and exterior work to full kitchen and bathroom remodels. If your Cornelius home needs one trade or ten, you're dealing with one contractor who shows up himself, not a project manager relaying messages from an office. With 20-plus years of hands-on construction experience and a 5-star rating across 17 Google reviews, the scope here runs wide and the pricing doesn't get inflated to cover a layers-thick overhead structure. Call (704) 957-5323 to get a straight estimate.
Cornelius homes in the Northwest corridor range from 1970s builds to newer construction, and the renovation needs shift a lot depending on which era you're in. Older homes in that range often show worn siding, aging rooflines, and bathrooms that haven't been touched in decades. Newer builds have their own quirks around finishes and material wear. Building permits for renovation work in Cornelius run through the Mecklenburg County permitting system, with zoning review from the Cornelius Planning Department and inspections handled by county staff. We're familiar with how that process works and can walk you through what your specific project will require before a single nail goes in.
The Lake Norman corridor has specific demands. Here's where we spend most of our time.
Twenty years of roofing is what built this business. Cornelius gets its share of storm seasons, and a roof that's been patched by two or three different people is almost always worse than one that's never been touched. We do full replacements, targeted repairs, and inspections on homes where the previous work left questions.
A kitchen remodel in Cornelius isn't just a cosmetic upgrade. Layout, plumbing rough-ins, cabinet placement relative to the original framing, electrical for modern appliances. We scope it correctly from the first walk-through so the estimate you get is the number you pay.
Full bath conversions, tub replacement, tile work, fixture updates. We've converted half baths to full baths and fully gutted decades-old primary suites. The scope depends on what's behind the walls once demo starts, and we don't hide that reality from you going in.
Siding on homes built in the 1970s through 1990s in this area has usually been through a few hard summers. We repair, replace, and match existing profiles when full replacement isn't the right call. Exterior work bundles naturally with roofing, and we handle both without bringing in separate crews.
Cornelius and the Lake Norman corridor have strong demand for outdoor living space. We build decks from the ground up and repair existing structures where the framing or ledger boards have deteriorated. Every deck project accounts for NC frost depth requirements and Mecklenburg County permitting.
Smaller jobs don't get handed off. Vent cover replacement, drywall repair, tile work, painting. If it needs doing correctly and you don't want to manage five separate calls to get it done, one call here covers it. That's the point of having a contractor who works every phase himself.
Our Approach
We walk the job, ask the right questions, and write an itemized estimate. You'll know what you're paying for before anything starts, and we don't treat the estimate as a floor to negotiate upward from once we're on site.
The person who scoped your project is the person doing the work or directly supervising it. That's not a branding statement. It means accountability doesn't disappear the moment the job starts.
Timeline, cleanup, final walkthrough. We don't consider a job done until you've seen the finished result and said so. Reviews like Andy Malenke's, where the job finished on time and the initial quote matched the final number exactly, are what we aim for on every project.

Clint did such a great job helping us replace some outdoor vent covers. We had a basket style vent cover that had cracked and birds had nested inside. We had previously tried other handymen that would say they would come out and never showed because it was a small job. Clint came out very quickly, in the rain, and made it so much more efficient and esthetically pleasing. He was very affordable and professional. Clint is the MAN! He will now be our go to guy for other projects. I highly recommend him!
Robin ChristopherMay 2026 · GoogleSo, I just wanted to first of all thank Liz for the great referral to get my home project done. I was a bit nervous however after meeting Clinton, I can’t thank him and his team enough for the job well done to my satisfaction. Clinton listened to what I wanted and delivered just that. Clinton not only listened also very professional and knowledgeable. He gave me a step by step timeline and actually stuck to it. That’s very rare to find in a contractor however his team was awesome and went above and beyond my expectations with the attention to detail. So my rating is really a 10/10. I had a simple garage make over.

Andy MalenkeMay 2025 · GoogleHad a great experience working with Clint and Greater Charlotte Contracting. He did great work in a reasonable amount of time and for a reasonable price. I have had a few home projects I’ve needed to complete within the last few months and he has not only provided me great service with these projects, but also has had great referrals for work outside of his scope of business. I would highly recommend anyone looking for work to be done in the Charlotte area to work with Greater Charlotte Contracting.
