Decks

ANYTHING GOES– I recently had a substantial amount of work done to the outside of my house by The company “ANYTHING GOES” owned by Homer Jones. They did an excellent job..Following is a list of what they did.

BRIAN MORGAN –    Brian and Jeff Morgan repaired and installed Trex decking on a large outdoor deck, elevated walkway and stairs.  They also rebuilt railings where needed and matched the existing house railings exactly.  Brian is a home builder and has just finished constructing a house in Lake Lure.   Brian has worked in Kenmure for any years and lives nearby.  I highly recommend Brian for home projects large or small – Brian Morgan phone 828-674-8766    Gordon Lane   828-435-9036  – Posted 4/2/2019

Driveway Paving & Sealing

S& J Paving –   Scott Ronson (owner) and his crew recently completed a patch and sealing job on my driveway.  The project consisted of approximately 30 sq. ft. of cut-out and replace asphalt, 345 lineal feet of crack filling, and 618 sq. yds. of spray on seal coat.  The job was completed as scheduled and at the estimated price.  Not only did they do an excellent job, the entire team was very professional and responsive from the initial quote through project completion.  Breanna Rogers (864.814.8743) of S&J was my initial contact.  She initially surveyed the project, did the pricing estimate, scheduled the work date, and follow up.  Terry Stein   –  Posted 5/1/2022

S&J Asphalt Paving Co., LLC   –   Just had our driveway sealed by them. It was way overdue! They did an excellent job at a fair price. Communications with us were outstanding, kept us informed of scheduling and any weather issues  –   833-200-7105  –  Margot Eld  –  Posted 10/8/2020

Carolina Paving – I DO NOT RECOMMEND CAROLINA  PAVING!!!!!!!  I live at 162 Overlook  Drive – there are three homes off our  “frontage” drive.  In July we hired Carolina Paving to seal the main driveway and our individual entrance driveways.  In front of my home the patching was not properly done (loose gravel and holes).  I immediately called Jeff Hart (owner) and told him about my dissatisfaction.  I have witnesses.  After numerous phone calls and lies and promising to repair and no responses (it is now November 19) I feel that I have been taken.  The job  is totally  unacceptable.  I will be happy to discuss this further with anyone who is considering using this Paving firm – Jayne Wain   828-693-3448  – Posted 11/19/2019

S&J Asphalt Paving Co., LLC – Having spent two years on my own filling cracks, bad spots and sealing etc, this year I got a contractor. S&J Asphalt based just across the border in SC.  They had to do Hot Tar crack fill and then seal. The first time around there were a few unfinished cracks so the owner personally came out and did it again; and this was well done and looks good. So they lived up to their commitment of good service.  Additional data points: Our driveway is large at about 3200 sqft. The total cost, including all the Hot Tar treatment etc was right at about $1800.  Please Contact:  833-200-7105      Hope this helps.

Walters Electric, Inc 828-692-2898 of Hendersonville.  DaveWaltersis attentive to your needs and does a no nonsense job for you.  Dave installed our back up generator and suggested we use a better transfer switch than came with the Generac we purchased.  It works well and the install was quick and well done.  He comes when he promises and if there is any problem he lets you know without delay.  I have had questions a year later and called him and he returned my calls within the hour.  This is a smaller company who really looks to help and stands behind their work.  Ask about surge protectors with all our lighting storms.   Greg Jackson  Posted 6/22/2020

Valley Hill Electric–  I went through HomeAdvisor.comto find an electrician and found Valley Hill Electric and start to finish the whole process was completed in about 3 days.   Andy Frau was the electrician I worked with.   He was very personable and outstanding in keeping me updated on scheduling.    Andy’s number is 828-699-7130.   I would highly recommend Valley Hill Electric and NOT recommend D.G.

Worth punching a bunch of buttons to get a real person     –   David Leiman     Posted 6/14/2021

Blue Ridge Appliance and Hearth, Inc – I purchased new logs for our fireplace in June 2019. After following the instructions and running the fireplace as discussed, I continued to smell a gas like odor. After several phone calls over the last few months, they finally came out and charged me $80.00 because it was after the 30 day warranty period. When I called the office to discuss this issue, the manager hung up on me. Their customer service is horrible. Respectfully submitted, Ruth Klug – Posted 10/23/2019

Furniture Restoration and Repair

Miller’s Furniture Restoration   –   Craig Miller’s shop is off Highway 25 North in the Mountain Home area.  He did a beautiful job of refinishing a walnut table that belonged to John’s parents.  He understands the proper process of steps involved in removing blemishes, dents, etc.  He delivered it to us with a helper so we had to do no lifting.

Furniture  Fellas –  on-site repair and restoration. John P. Knott, owner, did an excellent job of repairing a small damaged area of a piece of furniture for us. His office manager, Kristy, was wonderful to work with while scheduling the appointment to come to our home for the repair. His work is top notch and reasonable. He arrived on time, repaired the damage, gathered up his tools and supplies and as they say “couldn’t even tell he had been here”. We highly recommend him to our neighbors.

John Knott did an excellent job of repairing damage to the finish of two table tops, where the finish had actually been eaten away by solvents.  He did this in our home without refinishing the entire tops.  We could not locate where the damage occurred once he was finished.  He also buffed out some heat stains from a breakfast room table, leaving us with a table top that appears brand new.  His charge was quite reasonable.  He does all kinds of in-home furniture repair.  I received many positive reviews of his work from Kenmure residents, and from Benson and Babb before using his services.

Garage Door Repair

Boles Garage Doors – I contacted David Boles  828-458-4008  after reading positive reviews from Kenmure homeowners.  Sure enough;  he responded promptly and professionally and did a needed repair at a fair price.  He’s a no-nonsense, get the job done kind of guy.  I highly recommend him.  Terry Stein – 316 Silent Rise Lane – 828-290-2445 Posted 6/1/2019

Boles Garage Doors –  We were also pleased with Bole’s Garage Doors.  They installed two new garage door openers in 2018.The quote was reasonable and scheduling and installation was prompt.  Months later one of the doors started having problems and David came out and fixed it at no charge the next day.  David Boles can be reached at 828-458-4008.Pat and Kathrine Tims  828-697-8200   3/5/2019

Garage Floor Refinishing

IronDrive Quality Garage Floor Coating   –   They use a two-coat epoxy process with color ‘sprinkles’ between the coats.  Their first step is to grind off about 1/32 inch of concrete to insure a good bond with the epoxy.  They use the biggest ‘floor sander’ I had ever seen, with a diamond grinder.  It is propane fueled with a big external filter to capture the concrete dust.  After the first epoxy coat, colored sprinkles are applied.  There are five color choices shown on their website https://irondrivegaragefloors.com/, or call Don Wilson 864-417-0997    A clear epoxy coat finalizes the job.  We were left with a timetable for:  walking on the floor (after 6 hours), completely closing the garage door (18 hours) and parking cars (48 hours).  The cost was under $4 per square foot.  Our 2-car garage measured 464 square feet.  All work was completed the same day and took about 8 hours.  Don and two sons worked carefully and delivered a beautiful and professional job.  We are delighted with their work.    Dick Roemer    Posted 2/7/2021

Gas Piping

Carolina Gas Piping – We had Jason Cable, 828-577-8166, install new cooktop and fireplace gas lines.  His price was very reasonable, they arrived when promised, worked efficiently, were safety conscious and cleaned up thoroughly.  We highly recommend. – Terry & Marsha Bibleheimer – Posted 9/4/2020

Morgan Master Electrician  –   Having a need to replace my old generator, I received price quotes from three companies and selected Morgan Master Electrician (an authorized Generac dealer).  Gary Morgan, owner, was prompt, professional, and quoted a fair and competitive price.  After accepting his bid, the entire process including delivery of the unit, installation by a professional crew, clean-up of the entire installation area, and removal of the old unit was exceptional.  I highly recommend Morgan Master Electrician.  Gary Morgan  can be reached at 828-891-2214   –  Terry Stein, 316 Silent Rise Lane  –  Posted 6/6/2020

Ashley Mobile Electric – After obtaining multiple proposals and with the recommendation of our generator service provider, Energy Services, I chose Ashley Mobile Electric to install a new Generac 9kw generator.  Our old 8kw generator was routinely failing and needed to be replaced.  The proposal included a new generator, required rewiring and removal of the old generator.  They installed the generator and connected it to our natural gas line.  Upon start up, the generator ran rough, attributed to the gas line (it should be noted that our 8kw didn’t have this problem).  Ashley wasn’t able to diagnose or fix the problem and instead called Energy Services to come out and fix the natural gas issue.  Energy Services did by adjusting a regulator.    I learned later that Ashley Mobile Electrical did not have to replace any of the wiring but charged me for the cost to do so anyway.   Lastly, I have an outlet in the home that stopped working after the install.  I called Ashely Mobile Services and asked that they check the circuit.  That was three weeks ago and they haven’t followed up.  Terry Smith – Posted 9/26/2019

Stuller Power Solutions – Had an unfortunate experience with Stuller Power the other day.  Had previously spent $885 on 9/17 to have my generator main circuit board replaced.  Generator ran well when they tested it thereafter it failed.  Called them re the malfunction and Brian said it was on me.  I mentioned the previous work and what I had paid and he became extremely defensive and down right arrogant.  Told me if I didn’t like their work I should go back to Maybin, my previous contractor.  Wow!!  They said they would send someone over on the 13th of this month but there  no evidence that they were here although they claim to have time date stamped pictures.  No evidence that the unit was ever opened (dirt covering the panel was undisturbed), no door tag, no phone call, hmmm!  Guess I was just supposed to figure out what was wrong by myself.  I called them and indicated that there was no evidence they were here, not to mention that the gatehouse had no record of them entering the community.  Today they called and summarily told me to go find someone else.  Ahem, I already did.  Others in the community might want to look elsewhere as well.  Doesn’t sound like the type of contractor that this community needs.  Clearly, I do not recommend this contractor!! – Margaret Hancook – Posted 6/18/2018

Golf Carts

I recently needed to replace the batteries in my golf cart.  I wanted to explore the pros and cons of switching to lithium batteries. I was referred to Matt Claudle through the pro shop and reached out to him. Matt was extremely helpful with information and I ultimately decided to switch over to lithium.  Matt did a great job in changing the batteries out and installing needed gauges etc.  Matt arrived on schedule and completed everything within the projected time frame.  I was very impressed with his work ethic throughout the job, he kept everything neat and cleaned up areas in the cart that he did not have to, but chose to do so as he had the areas accessible.   I am very happy with the improved performance of the cart with the new lithium batteries. I highly recommend Matt as someone to contact regarding upgrades and upkeep on your golf cart.  He will schedule a time and come to you which is a tremendous plus over having to schedule transport to another location.

Gutters

Gutter Man of WNC LLC   –   I was pleased with the service, price and overall experience of hiring Gutter Man (Nathan = proprietor) to replace all my gutters in April 2022.  He was recommended to me by a neighbor (also had all his gutters replaced) and Nathan met all my expectations.  Good information provided to me as he walked the house while preparing his quote (written quote provided within 24 hours of visit).  Fair pricing.  Nathan runs two or three crews and scheduling depends on weather.  Competent installation crew, they even spent a few minutes and cleaned a skylight on roof when I provided cleaning materials!  During the first rain storm after the gutter installation, I noted an area of gutter that required another splash guard and Nathan happily made a return visit to add the splash guard.   Good company and staff!!    P.O Box 16156, Asheville, NC  28816, (828) 545-2750 –   www.guttermanllc.com     Larry Wesselink   Posted 5/12/2022

Carolina Gutter Helmet –  We had a damaged section of a 28’ run of original Gutter Helmet from the mid-90’s needing repair/replacement.  The product is still great in its original state and even better with today’s version of improvements.  The sales effort by Mr. Shade however, was absolutely horrendous with parallels to the movie “Tin Men” (vinyl siding scams).  After an hour of extolling the virtues of the GH system and much pontification, I had to interrupt him to obtain an actual quote.  Another 10 minutes and finally a quote of $1500 materialized.  Over $50 a LF!   I was incredulous and told him thanks but, no thanks and good day.  But, wait….  Another 15 plus minutes of blather and a phone call to the office, he derived at a “non-warrantied” price of $500, which he said was the minimum to walk on site.  This was closer to what my research had indicated ($20-25 LF, with warranty).  The product is great, the carnival sales process is abysmal.  Don’t accept the first price!   Kerry Shade (sales rep) 828-513-4289 (cell)  866-882-8292 (office)   –  Chris Sealy  –  Posted 12/13/2020

And he was never late, worked straight through without bothering our routines. It was a 4 visit project. He gave me pictures before and after with details as to remediation.

 Mark Cole   –   I recently used the services of Mark Cole at 828 712 9649 to carry out several small jobs in my house.  He was more than expected in every way.  He returned calls promptly, was always on time, offered very well-though out suggestions, carried everything out with care and precision, and was always professional throughout.  Call me if you’d like to know the particulars of what he did.  I recommend him without reservation.  Ted Etherington, 692-4492   Posted 6/19/2022

Jack DeLuca – NC Licensed Contractor   –  Jack DeLuca is a NC Licensed contractor that my wife “loves” (because I can not fix anything); and, I “just like him a lot” for cleaning up my messes.  He has kept our 30 yr plus old home updated, more livable and functioning well.  Jack will inspect your project, tell you what you need (perhaps even talk you out of unnecessary “wants”) and give you a written quote on what it will cost you (until your spouse starts making revisions).  Be it a big or little job, Jack and his assistant, Chris, will professionally complete your project in a timely manner and leave you with a smile on your face.  Jack lives here in Kenmure and can be reached on his cell (828-243-5587) or email is jdeluca1@bellsouth.net.  Highly recommended by Sylvia (252-521-0968) and George Tennille (252-521-0136).  So far, Jack has been able to fix all those “little” nuisances that afflict older homes plus get back into working order those things I have broken/made worse by trying to DIY (do it yourself).    Posted 1/19/2022

TrueBlue of Hendersonville  –   I found a GREAT resource in Rick James, owner of TrueBlue of Hendersonville.  One of his guys did a great job on a drywall repair in January and Rick and his assistant, Gatlyn just did a terrific job on installing our new wall oven today.  Both times I got a solid estimate, we scheduled an appointment and they were on time and did a very professional job.  Their website details all the jobs they can handle and I recommend them highly.

Anything Goes   –  We have recently had major work done to our upper and lower decks that extend the full length of our house.  Besides replacing wood and siding around leaking sliding glass doors, many deck floor boards, railings and posts were replaced.  Both decks were also caulked where needed, pressure washed and painted.    Anything Goes is owned by Homer Jones.  Homer was easy to deal with and a thoroughly nice person.  He and his crew were very professional and did an excellent job and we will be having them on other projects.  Homer Jones – Cell:  828-777-3122   Email:  homer.heritagefletcher@gmail.com   Larry Price   –  Posted 2/5/2021

TRIPPS RENOVATIONS   –   We recently purchased in Kenmure.  The home inspection discovered a substantial leak into our crawlspace.  Tripp Jeter (owner) gave us an estimate for that work as well as building two pantries and putting in a wet bar and icemaker in the kitchen.  Tripp and his entire crew — project manager, carpenters, painters and subcontractors were great to work with.  As it became apparent that the leak was worse than anyone thought, we were kept fully informed about what needed to be done and the cost.  I would definitely recommend Tripp Renovations for any work needed.  Very professional crew and a delight to have around my home.  Tripp Jeter  828-290-8264   Carol & Ed Battocchio   Posted  1/22/2021

Chris Farrell of Christopher David Services   – We’ve used Chris and Ron for several jobs now, and continue to highly recommend them. They’ve installed a front door, finished and painted our basement, and done a number of small exterior jobs. All done at excellent quality and reasonable cost. The things I like best about working with Chris and Ron are the attention to detail and the level of communication. They ALWAYS make sure to talk to us if anything needs to be changed or adjusted or if they encounter any issues, and make sure to get our approval ahead of time. I have complete faith in their abilities and the quality of their work. Please contact Chris at chris@cdsvcs.com or call (828) 707-1173  – Tony and Jhan Dunn –   Posted  11/20/2020

Handyman Services    –   Kevin Boak recently replaced a cartridge in a leaking kitchen faucet that we found impossible to remove.  He arrived expecting a quick job but was tenacious and ended up spending almost two hours because of the difficulty in removing the faucet.  His price for the repair was more than fair and he was professional and congenial.  His business card says Handyman Services but he’s also doing some major renovations and repairs.  Services listed on his card include repairs, installations, trim carpentry, drywall and tile.  I will have no problem calling him back for larger projects.  Kevin Boak   –  828-735-2642  –  Email wkb1265@aol.com Sandy and Jim Woodcock    Posted 10/12/2020

Drew Renovations  –  I called Drew Renovations, recommended on this page.  I talked to him on June 22nd and told him what I needed done, maybe 10 different smaller projects, like drywall repair in three rooms after some electrical work, sanding and painting mailbox post, screen repair, stone step repair. He told me he could do all those things and would be able to come by the next morning at 10.  He texted me twice on the 24th, running late, but did show up around 11:30 with another young man.  I was a little skeptical as Drew is 24 years old and I have had the worst luck with young contractors. He told me he was going to redeem his age group with me.   I had my work list printed and we went through all the projects.  He told me he did all those things, would have a quote to me that night or the next day and that he and his crew could do all of the work in a day and half by the end of the following week. I didn’t hear from him so texted him a reminder on the 25th.  No response.  On July 10th, the day by which he said all work would be completed, I texted him and advised him that I had waited to post a review until I gave him an opportunity to explain. Funny, but suddenly multiple an immediate responses.

Here’s that transcript:
Drew: Hi Beth, I’m just very busy with bigger jobs I don’t specialize in that work and I usually subcontract anything else I don’t do and I have no one available for the next 2 months. Sorry I didn’t get back to you I just have so much going on. Thanks for understanding.
Me: No, actually I don’t understand. You could have said that before you wasted my time and there is never an excuse for lack of communication. Too busy to text? Seriously?
Drew: I have people texting me all day everyday I viewed it and forgot to reply because I didn’t have the time to think about it. I’m sorry
Me: Welcome to the business world. No excuses, man.
Drew: I tried finding someone who will do the work but no one is available. That why I didn’t reply right away.
Me: 17 days of silence.
I do not recommend him. Unreliable.   Beth Moriarty   –   Posted 7/10/2020

Drew Renovations – We were looking for someone that could do a couple of projects. i.e. power washing, roof cleaning etc….and ran across Drew Renovations.  I contacted him and he immediately responded and was out to complete the work within 2 days.  He was very professional and did a great job.  We had him come again today to replace roof tiles and a full inspection of our roof.  I had discussed some other revisions and he was honest enough to tell me that we should hold off….vs. just trying to get more money – Contact Drew Renovation   Cell number  828-774-6941   email  drewrenovation@gmail.com   – Shanda McKenzie  – Posted 1/28/2020

Air Vent Exteriors  –  After moving in our home last year we found that we really missed our screened in porches from our previous home. We met with Sal with Air Vent Exterior to discuss the addition of this under our deck. He presented us with a bid and we decided to use their firm. Although it was about 9 weeks to have them install it, it was definitely worth the wait, even though it will be spring before we can use it.  We had some issues of them installing the frame work around our brick pillars but Tyler and Jason did an excellent job of working around them and  some electrical wiring to our heat pump outside the porch. They installed a screen door and the workmanship is meticulous. Extremely happy with end result!  Robert and Barbara Keller  – Posted 12/16/2019

Gary Steiner – I would like to recommend Gary Steiner as an all-around competent handyman.  He has rebuilt our dormers, replaced trim around all of our windows, installed pavers, replaced shingles and done other repairs for us.   (He also shovels driveways.) We had a leak in one of our soffits that went on for some time. No one could figure it out.  Gary diagnosed the problem and fixed it immediately.  He is very knowledgeable about all home-related situations and is fair in his charges.  He and his brothers built many homes in Kenmure in the 90s, so he is familiar with building construction, the community, and its residents.  He is prompt and reliable.  Highly recommended.   Phone:  828- 242-7492      Ted Etherington – Posted 5/1/2019

Cole’s Home Improvement – There are several comments about Cole’s Home improvement, but I feel obligated to add one more. Mark solved a rather tricky outdoor deck problem for me. He also completed four other not insignificant projects and the total cost was less than the estimate I had to fix the deck! Mark Cole is reliable, very good at what he does, and obviously prices his work at a reasonable rate. Call him any time at 828-712-9649  Dave Ticko – Posted 3/24/2019

Cole’s Home Improvement– During the last three years Mark Cole has completed a number of projects for us, from such simple matters as rebuilding an access door to the crawl space for our house or realigning closet doors so that they close properly, to more complex projects, such as correcting a major structural flaw in our deck. He has also replaced deteriorated sections of our deck and cleaned and repainted it.  Because our permanent home is not in Kenmure, we especially feel fortunate to have Mark Cole schedule and make repairs while we are not even in residence.  We have found him to be trustworthy, hard-working, reliable, and reasonable with the fees for the work he has performed.  Mark Cole’s cell number is 828-712-9649 – Sherry and Bruce Southard – Posted 2/21/2018

Heating and Air Conditioning

Hipps Heating and Air Condition   –   The air blower on our heater system required replacement.  I called Hipp’s (based in Saluda) and Richard Hipp (owner) was very responsive.  He arrived at the appointed time and was quick to trouble shot / confirm the problem.  He offered a range of options to address the issue and did not try to “over sell” the scope of any solution.  His fixed charge for the visit was reasonable and suggested solution to use an aftermarket replacement air blower was economical and justified given the age of the other equipment in the HVAC system (which still works fine but is subject to full replacement in a few years).  I highly recommend Hipp’s and they can be contacted as follows.   Office 828-749-1247, cell 828-674-0460.  Email hippsheatingandairinc@hotmail.com    Larry Wesselink  Posted 4/27/2023

Horizon Heating & Cooling   –    I am pleased with a furnace diagnosis and repair by Horizon Heating & Air in September 2020.  The heater had stopped working (it would ignite, but then turn off after 15-30 seconds). The furnace is 27 years old Rheem. Technician Tristen diagnosed ($99+ flat fee pus tax) and found that the control circuit board was failing to turn on the main blower (fan).  He made a temporary fix with a jumper wire to put Fan On all the time (like the Thermostat Fan-On switch).  So the heating thermostat worked again.  And I could fairly easily turn it all off/on with the on/off switch at the furnace.  Tristen said he would try in the morning to find a replacement circuit board.  Meanwhile I looked on the internet — could not find for any Rheem furnace older that about 20 years.  2 days later, tech called and said he located one (via direct discussions with Rheem – only 5 left).  After a couple days shipping, Tristen installed it and all is working perfectly.  All aspects of the service were excellent.  –  Stan Christman  – Posted 10/3/2020

McNutt– My original HVAC equipment was installed in 1995, and subsequently maintained, by a company named McNutt.  I was consistently satisfied with their work.  Within the last few years, McNutt was acquired by Southeast Climate Care.  On 2/24/18 I paid this firm for a new service contract covering 4/14/18 – 4/13/19.  When their representative came 5/7/18 to service the A/C, he said he could not complete the job due to difficulties with the unit’s location, along with leaking coolant.  By letter dated 5/18/18 I requested cancellation of the contract and refund of the payment I had made.  I never received that refund, or any other response.  Follow-up requests via email and phone were also ignored.

Recently I had new equipment installed by Horizon Heating & Cooling, who have been exceedingly professional and responsive.  – Norman Carrier – Posted 7/23/2018

Horizon Heating & Cooling – I was so pleased with the emergency repair by Brian C./Horizon Heating & Air in January when we had 10 straight days of 10 F that I put them on top of my list to replace my 23.5 year old HVAC system. Waited till May for decent weather and to give me time to research on HVAC systems. I had quotes from 3 different dealers, picked Horizon Heating because of my experience with them in January, that they are a Trane dealer, that they listened and addressed my concerns, their staff is courteous and professional, and their warehouse is so clean and orderly!  Replacement took 1.5 days. Ricky and Dustan did a fantastic job, they are highly skilled technicians with attention to details. Horizon Heating & Air took care of Trane product registration and rebates from the energy companies. I highly recommend Horizon Heating & Air – submitted by Vivian Adams  – Posted 5/17/2018

Guillermo’s Crew– When we moved to Kenmure in 2016 we tried a couple of different lawn/landscaping companies to do bi-weekly work on our yard…which requires a lot of maintenance.  After being extremely dissatisfied with the other companies, we called “Guillermo’s Crew” who we found out was the company that maintained our yard with the previous owners.  After one year, I can say we are very impressed with not only his work, but also the little extra things he does when he comes out…which most companies would charge additional for.  He is professional and his rates are very competitive.  If you are just needing a single project done i.e. yard mulching, shrubs planted or even rock work, he can do that too.  I have recommended him to a couple of neighbors and they have been very pleased.  You can contact Guillermo at 828.674.0117 (cell)  20+ years experience.

I can’t even begin to describe how Heather’s massage therapy has helped me. She has an excellent understanding of body musculature and always knows how to get me feeling better. During this time of COVID, she has been very careful to keep things sanitary and always wears a mask. She has 21 years of experience in neuromuscular therapeutic massage, and specializes in pain and stress management. You can reach her at 828-553-2126.

Moving / Movers

Beaty Brothers Movers  –  On the recommendation of Kenmure friends who also used them, we used Beaty Brothers Movers to load our entire household into PODS for a cross-country move. We were extremely pleased and satisfied with their process, from the initial estimate, through the scheduling to final load. The Brothers and their staff were all professional, on time with every   part of the preparation and load, very courteous, personable, and efficient.  They got our job done in one day. We are happy to recommend them. One piece of advice:  give as much lead time to them as you can.  As word-of-mouth spreads about how good they are, they are quite busy, and justifiably so.

Mulch

Head Enterprises –  I saw a very negative comment about Head and the owner on our site. My experience over the 10 years or so has been very different. I offer the following…
I have dealt with Head and the owner Earl and other family members for mulch and fill dirt every year for the past 9-10 years and this year on June 15th. I have ordered mulch over the phone and have also been to their yard to either order loads or to pick-up smaller volumes on numerous occasions. I have always found them very easy and pleasant to deal with and they provide a quality product. I have watched them at times making loads and, if anything, provide more than the minimum ordered. Their delivers have always been made when they promised. Earl has taken extra effort to dump the loads in a difficult location in my yard and takes extra care to do so without damaging a nearby tree. These factors have resulted in his delivery taking extra time and effort and he does so without any complaint or extra charge. I would readily recommend their services.  John Haines  Posted 6/17/2020

Head Enterprises,LLC,– Who is an East Flat Rock provider of mulch. They delivered 7 yards of mulch in my driveway late last week. I called Earl, the owner of Head, to inform him that his 7 yards did not cover as much as the 6 yards I ordered from another vendor last year. He went off on me right away and called me a complainer. I won’t bore anybody with more details, but the experience was quite negative with constant unexpected verbal abuse to the point that it was really upsetting. Enough to where I had to forward this information. Phillip De Keizer, P.S. I don’t like to complain. Posted 3/24/2020

AM PAINTING, INC.   –    Adrian Morava, the owner, is the most honest, reliable and detail-oriented contractor we have ever engaged to do work for us.  We recently purchased a home in Kenmure. Before we moved in, we wanted to have the popcorn ceiling removed and the interior painted. We selected A.M. Painting to undertake our project because of Adrian’s great reputation for doing quality work – plus it was very attractive to us that he told us that he is fully insured with workman’s comp and general liability. Adrian and his team were ready to start the day after closing. We were in Florida and, without even asking, Adrian kept us fully up-to-date on the progress of their work. In addition, he made us aware of several other issues that had nothing to do with his project – for example, that we needed to get a dehumidifier for the lower level (even recommended the specs for the dehumidifier). We are extremely happy with the end result of the painting and popcorn removal. Adrian and his team are true professionals, and we absolutely give him the highest recommendation.

Burlett Painting   –   They painted the exterior of our house including decks and stairs.  They spent over two days pressure washing and preparing the house for the painters.  The painters were excellent and professional. Communication throughout was excellent.  After doing a great job they did an amazing cleanup as well.  I felt their price was below what I would have expected for the quality of the job and very similar to other quotes I had received.  We did a walkthrough to checkout the job before paying and I found no issues except for a window that had a water streak on it and they promptly came back and cleaned the window (over 40 feet high).  Burlett Painting 828-974-4385  or  828-460-5355   –  Lowry Hobbs  –  Posted 4/30/2021

South Painting   –  I highly recommend Margarito Lubian (South Painting) for both interior and exterior work.   Over the last year, Margarito’s team repainted my entire house.   I found their quality to be very good and price to be competitive.  What I like most about Margarito is his integrity….he delivered what was agreed upon at the agreed upon price.   We had a paint store mix-up that required a half day of repainting that he totally absorbed….no questions asked.   That says a lot to me about his approach to business.  His team is polite and considerate….and clean up after themselves.   I found South Painting to be an excellent value.  Jim Gardner, 60 Fernridge Court   –   Posted 11/19/2020

A&M Painting –  Adrian Morava,  Proprietor;   We have been planning a large project for quite some time. It involved removing the popcorn from our ceilings, painting the entire living area, removing some old wallpaper, and installing wood flooring. Because we wanted the work done while we away we needed someone, or a company, that could manage the project for us. We spent months going from one referral to another attempting to get estimates. These “contractors” either did not return our calls, failed to show up or gave us an extremely high estimate. Finally, I called Adrian, someone I had worked with before and was very satisfied with. I thought he could help with the painting portion of the project and could give me some referrals. I should have called him first! Adrian came the next day and after reviewing my project, he not only said he would give me an estimate but act as project manager while we were away. Working together was a pleasure. He made several recommendations on subs he knew and vendors for my flooring and supplies that were very reasonable. He also arranged for moving the furniture and when we returned to Kenmure, he and part of his crew moved it all back where it was. From the pictures he sent during the process I knew it was going to be beautiful but fully expected a few punch-list items to deal with on my return. That was not the case! Every detail was perfect. I cannot recommend Adrian highly enough! He’s a really good guy with a terrific attention to detail and lots of contacts.

Jackson Painting –  I contacted Ken Zeegers of Jackson Painting to paint two interior rooms which were done in February and to paint the exterior of our house which was done in April.  I fully recommend their services as they did quality work at a reasonable price.  Ken kept in contact on finalizing the dates for the work.  His work crew were courteous and highly skilled.  They went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with the work during the project – Chip Pryde  –  Posted 5/9/2020

Jackson Painting  – Ken Zeegers, Proprietor; My husband and I contracted with Mr. Zeegers for exterior painting around windows, soffits, railings to front door and staining of deck, railings and outside stairs. Ken is very personable and professional. He is easy to work with and answered all our concerns. In our previous home in Asheville we used an exterior paint that we had on cement board siding that was holding up well for the 18 yrs we were in our home. Had it painted 2 yr before we sold but felt it probably could have held up longer. We asked Ken to use this product and he told us no problem. His bid we felt was reasonable and was a joy to work with his crew. They powerwahed the areas to be painted before and this was included in the bid. They had stained our deck floor boards with one coat. I mentioned to Ken that we were seeing some streaking coming through on some of the boards. He had his painter come out and apply another coat and it now looks great. He also matched it very close to previous color for deck and railings.  We highly recommend their service and have no doubt if there is a problem that comes up that Ken will address it. We will definitely use them again when we have some interior painting to be done in the future. Robert and Barbara Keller  Founders Dr – Posted 12/16/2019

Jackson Painting Inc. of Hendersonville – Ken Zeegers, Proprietor – They painted the exterior of our home in October.  We highly recommend Jackson Painting Inc. of Hendersonville.  Proprietor Ken Zeegers is communicative, thorough, experienced and professional in every way. We had reached out to several painting contractors in the area recommended by other Kenmure residents or friends.  Two of those contractors did not respond to more than one phone message (both recommended on this site); two others submitted absurdly high bids; and the contractor who had painted our house eleven years earlier for the prior owners (and very well recommended on this site) told us that he would be too busy into next spring and therefore would not bid.  Eventually we noticed Jackson Painting doing a job on Poplar Loop Dr. in August.  We called, and Ken Zeegers responded promptly. He came to our house the next day to discuss and estimate the job. Within a few business days we received the most detailed, sensible and by far the most competitive bid of the three that we obtained, along with Ken’s confidence that he could do the job in October (which he did), as opposed to having to wait until next spring. The crew was 5-7 men strong each day, including Ken several times, and the job was completed in a week. One man returned a couple weeks later (delayed by rain) to handle a couple touch-up items.  We are completely satisfied and recommend Jackson Painting (828-388-0688) enthusiastically –  Chris & Katie Glockler   120 Ridge Ln  Posted 12/7/2019

Margarito Lubian – We would like to recommend Margarito Lubian as a painter.  We were left in the lurch at the last minute by another painter, and Margarito was able to help us out in less than a week and did a fine job.  His English over the phone is a little difficult to understand, but he understands well and does exactly what you ask him to do.  His work was well done, he was prompt, he cleaned up nicely after himself every day, and his prices were reasonable.  What more can you ask! call him at 699-6830 – Dirk and Paige Willms – Posted 9/26/2019

Landmark Painting – Nancy and I highly recommend Matthew Arkell, DBA Landmark Painting (828-242-4114), as a great painting contractor.  We were influenced by other comments on this site and chose Matthew Arkell after he made an onsite visit to estimate the cost of painting the exterior of our home. He worked up a very detailed quote, attached a clear contract that explained exactly what he would do and clearly explained his excellent warranty.  Due to weather conditions, it did take a while to have our schedules match but, when they did, he notified us of his start date and he and his crew showed up on time.  They did an excellent job, met all the terms of the contract, and as others have said, they cleaned up each night and certainly when the job was completed only 4 days later!  Their final clean-up even included cleaning the exterior of the windows.  Matthew even did a final “walk around” with us to make sure we were happy with their work.  Without hesitation we would use them for our next paint work.  Thank you, Matthew – Steve and Nancy Smith    828-447-3121    Posted 6/16/2019

Burlett Painting – We had our home repainted by Burlett Painting (828-974-4385), and are very happy with the results. Manager Terry did a great job explaining materials, methods, and options; carefully matched colors; and repeatedly checked on progress. Foreman Bob and his crew were efficient, friendly, attentive to detail, and receptive to questions. The prep work included a thorough washing, caulking where needed, and some spot repairs to wood. All surfaces got two coats of top-line Sherwin-Williams stain, oil paint, and deck paint. The price was higher than some vendors might propose, but reasonable considering the amount of labor and materials required–not to mention the shifting of 32 and 40-foot ladders on the tall south elevation. Cleanup was thorough, and there were no surprises on the invoice. Highly recommended. — Clark and Jane Irwin, 704 Kenmure Drive.  Posted 5/27/2019

Pro Painting – We had been searching for a painter to do a small job i.e. 4 bathrooms and repair of drywall tape.  As usual we have found to be true of this area, getting anyone to call you back, or show up for an estimate is rare.  I contacted Carlos Vigil with Pro Painting and he came out the next day to provide an estimate.  Two days later he started the job and it was completed in 2.5 days.  The workmanship and professionalism was excellent.  We did get 3 bids and he was very competitive.  We will be using him in the future.   Carlos Vigil/Pro Painting  828-696-6506  –  Mickey and Shanda McKenzie – 204 Glenroy Ct.
