We have grown quite a bit in 4 years and Dove Creek Contracting is now a team of 8! This team is built to communicate, facilitate, and get projects done at a high level, on time, and on budget. We have three equal owners (Will Gehrman, Josh Jarrell, and Evan Lane) that wear many hats from sales and marketing to project management and site supervision. We have three superintendents (Taylor Freeman, Ryan Stamey, and Adam Clements) that are leading projects onsite and ensuring the work is performed to our Standards. We have two carpenters (Russell Jarrell & Temple Jarrell) that help us to self perform much of the tasks that we feel are important to setting jobs up for success, and getting things right from the start. We are very grateful for our team and all of their efforts to provide our clients, trade partners, and vendors with best experience possible. #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #dovecreekcontracting #thankyou #durhamnc #chapelhillnc #buildersofinstagram #builderlife #constructioncompany #residentialbuilding #customhomebuilder #durhamnchomebuilders #chapelhillnchomebuilders

#deckcellent 🫶🏻 The seasons are changing but the mosquitos haven’t quite left yet. A screen porch is essential in the North Carolina climate, to enjoy the outdoors and to protect yourself from those pesky mosquitos when it’s rainy and humid. This screen porch and deck build was a fun one to work on. Great design by Studio Wescott Architecture. We removed a chimney to create a new entry way to the kitchen to allow for an open and airy feel. The space provides room for dining and entertainment, as well as an open deck to enjoy some sunshine or stargazing. The decking and railing balusters are from @robidecking and are sasafrass wood species. We used our go to @screeneze system Beautiful stain and paint work by @hmpaintinganddrywall Architecture/Design: Studio Wescott Architecture Construction: @dovecreekcontracting 📸: @bobfortner #screenporch #decklife #outdoorliving #porchgoals #deckdesign #cozyporch #homeinspiration #deckgoals #outdooroasis #backyardbliss #porchdecor #relaxingspaces #deckideas #durhamnc #durhamrenovations #durhamncbuilder #homerenovation
@ellencassillyarchitects + Arthur Cogswell + @dovecreekcontracting = 😍😍😍 This was a real treat to be able to work on a wonderful home, originally designed by Arthur Cogswell, and re-imagined by @ellencassillyarchitects. We added on a new entry way with beautiful custom floating concrete steps, new office, new powder bathroom, and mudroom with custom built ins. All flooring was replaced to stay true to original material of cork flooring. Primary bathroom remodeled, kitchen remodeled and new custom handrails at the stair case. Thank you to all of the awesome trade partners that helped bring that vision to reality, and create a memorable and functional space for this growing family.

Want to build your dream home next? “It’s starting to look like a thing!”😍 We often say this phrase during the framing stage because you can get a sense of the shape and scale of the structure. It’s an exciting time where the home starts to come together!🏠 Fill out a contact form on our website today to start the journey of building your dream home with us! Architecture: @dw.ad Construction: @dovecreekcontracting Framing materials supplied by @talbertbuildingsupply including our favorite @zipsystems sheathing and @huberwood Advantech subflooring. #newhomebuild #chapelhillcountryclub #chapelhillnc #homebuildersofinstagram #buildingdreams #homeconstruction #customhomebuilding #countryclubliving #dreamhome #buildwithdovecreek #chapelhillbuilder #dronevideo #woodframing
Framers and grading crew hard at work this week! 👷🚜 2nd floor walls are going up as they prepare to close things in using the @huberwood @zipsystems sheathing.

🚧Progress! Check out this cool bird’s eye view of the transformation on this lot for this custom home build at @chapelhillcountryclub There were some schedule delays with the heavy rains, but we’re now working our way through the framing stage!

The framing stage is really exciting because you get to see the structure start to come together, and you’re looking at the “bones” of the house. Walls and roof are up next! This custom home build will consist of two main levels, as well as an accessory building and sits right on the @chapelhillcountryclub ⛳️🏌️‍♀️golf course.

Check out this custom luxury bathroom featuring heated floors, a sleek drop-in soaking tub, and beautiful @Brizofaucet plumbing fixtures.

Cascading doors in this laundry space: the perfect blend of style and functionality, saving room and adding elegance. 🚪✨ We were able to move the hot water heater and laundry units into the new space from an exterior room in the carport. This change created a much more functional laundry experience, and a more efficient water heating solution. The cascading doors take up less room and slide nicely on in-laid tracks in the hardwood flooring. The hot water heater tank is nicely hidden to the left of the laundry units. 📸: @bobfortner Where would you like to see a change in your home? #LaundryGoals #HomeDesign #SpaceSaver #InteriorInspo #SmartLiving #homerenovation #chapelhillnc #remodeling #homeimprovement #chapelhillbuilders
First phase of construction is under way on this custom 7,000 sq ft 🏡. Digging and pouring the footings is an exciting stage as it’s the first time you really get to see 👀 the footprint of the new home. Next up will be the cast in place foundation walls that will form the basement and crawl space of this home and accessory building. Let us know what peaks your curiosity about this aspect of construction 🚧 or anything related to custom home building. #newhomeconstruction #homebuilder #customhome #dreamhome #chapelhillnc #chapelhillhomes #chapelhillbuilder #homebuildersofinstagram #buildingdreams #constructiontimelapse #countryclubliving #builderlife #highendhomes #chapelhillcountryclub
We started this company from nothing in the midst of a global pandemic. To look back 4 years almost to the day, and see how far we have come is such a blessing.

We love it when a plan comes together. This home addition project turned out lovely thanks to coordinated efforts with great trade partners. While we manage the project and self perform some of the work, our dedicated and skilled trade partners are physically putting all of the pieces of the puzzle together day in and day out. It can’t be understated how important it is to have great communication and relationships with high quality, reliable sub contractors that take pride in their work. We are thankful for all of the people that continue to show up and get the job done at a high level, with a smile on their faces. 📸: @bobfortner Thank you to: @brightersolutions32 @hi_grade_construction @rdahomerenovations @hmpaintinganddrywall Greene Hunt Inc C&J Heat & Air Campos & Son Roofing #chapelhillnc #homesweethome #newhomeaddition #tradepartners #teamwork #briarcliff #chapelhillbuilder #homerenovation #homeinspo #interiordesign #designbuild #homeremodel

Cutting and removing concrete with a @stihl saw and @bobcatcompany E20 mini ex has become second nature for us on smaller projects. These two tools really help our efficiency with demo, and start each project off, on the right track.

House demo complete! 🚧🤘check out this before and after look of the original house and the cleared site. It’s on to the next phase of the process which is surveying and grading. This is a crucial step to set up the new build for success and it needs to be done 💯% accurate. Make sure you work with a skilled and experienced surveyor 👷‍♀️ to pin the home’s footprint. Errors at this phase can cause frustration 😡 for everyone involved in building the home going forward. Any idea what happens if you mess this up?

🚨 Pro tip 🚧 Always include a contingency budget in your building projects! Whether you are renovating 🔨 , or building a custom new home 🏠 , it’s essential to create a plan for unexpected costs 💰 due to existing conditions. Construction never goes 100% according to plan so you should never assume you have it all accounted for. By having a contingency budget, you are assuming there will be additional expenses that weren’t covered in the estimate. It’s better for the client because you’re not asking for additional money and better for the contractor to stay on track with the overall project. Have you ever been hit with unexpected costs or had to stop a project because you discovered something mid renovation?
