The work, not a stock photo

These are not renderings and they are not bought from a photo library. They are jobs our crews finished, shot from the street on the day we packed up. Drag the handle to wipe between the old house and the finished one.

What the neighbors said

Read all reviews →

“I made a great decision in going with Belk Builders. I shopped around and received four estimates. After considering value, quality and price, I feel confident of my decisions”

R. Ernsberger

“I was surprised the owner stopped by every day to check on how our job was progressing. He would then knock on my door and ask me if I had any questions. I was impressed.”

T. Santoro

“The installation crew knew what they were doing. I was extremely impressed with their eye for detail and their clean up after the job was completed.”

Frequently asked questions

What does Belk Builders replace?
Siding, replacement windows and roofing, plus the finishing work that goes around them: trim, columns, shutters, soffit and gutters. We work on homes that are already standing, and on multi-family and HOA exteriors.
Which areas do you serve?
Charlotte and South Charlotte, and thirteen communities around them: Ballantyne and Blakeney, Cornelius, Huntersville, Lake Norman, Matthews, Myers Park, SouthPark, Waxhaw, Wesley Chapel and Weddington in North Carolina, and Fort Mill, Lake Wylie and Tega Cay across the line in South Carolina.
Do you charge for an estimate?
No. Estimates are free and there is no obligation. Kent Frerichs, the owner, visits the job site himself rather than sending a salesperson.
Which siding do you install?
James Hardie fiber cement (Hardie Plank, including ColorPlus Technology prefinished options), CertainTeed, Alside, Mastic and Ply Gem vinyl, vinyl cedar shakes, and vinyl trim. We walk you through the options and what each one costs to own, not just to buy.
Which replacement windows do you carry?
Simonton, Andersen, Pella, Jeld-Wen and the Marvin lines, including double-hung. Windows are measured, ordered and fitted opening for opening.
Do you install new siding over the old siding?
No, never. The existing siding comes off completely so our installers can inspect the sheathing underneath, repair anything damaged, and fit a proper weather-resistive barrier before the new siding goes on.
What roofing work do you do?
Architectural shingles, flat rubber (EPDM) roofs, ridge vents for attic ventilation, and copper accent roofing over bays, porches and dormers.
Is financing available?
Yes. Belk Builders offers financing through Synchrony Financial, and the financing page has the current offers on roof replacement and on replacement windows and doors.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, fully licensed and insured. The work is done by our own trained crews rather than handed to subcontracted labor, and Kent oversees each project personally from start to finish.

Four fields and a sentence is plenty. Kent reads these himself, and if the job is in our patch he comes out and looks at the house before quoting it.
