Remodeling Services

Jesse and his team did a fantastic job with our Living Room remodeling project! This included the removal of a bedroom wall and enlargement of our living room area including installation of a fireplace.

Jesse and Garret are the best. They do amazing work , friendly , honest and hard workers.

Jesse & Crew from Karnezis Construction redid a 34 yr old open deck into 600ft screened in extended living space. We wish we’d done this years ago as we absolutely love it! It created an additional dining space, living space and sleeping space outdoors! We have a laundry room downstairs but wanted laundry space upstairs as well. We had a huge unused soaking tub in the master bathroom that we removed and replaced with a washer/dryer. We got a larger walk-in shower space out of it as well! Karnezis Construction has done several remodels of spaces for us over the past 2 yrs. Replaced toilets, finished a new storage room and roofed a patio. About the patio....I had a vision of what I wanted it to look like with corrugated metal, that didn’t work out. I didn’t love Jesse’s idea but he was right. What he did was perfect with very clean finished lines. Jesse arrived 2 yrs ago as a stranger I’d never met before. He very quickly grew on me and felt like family every day he arrived to work. He’s very personable and honest. It’s the little things...like making little repairs on this or that that wasn’t on his daily schedule, he just did it. Helping bring in groceries, helping to move things....you can just tell these guys were raised right! I highly recommend Karnezis Construction.

In this line of business I could have chosen many builders. I had many quotes before making a decision. I chose Jesse because I was able to see his craftsmanship first hand by pictures he provided and his professionalism. My deck was a challenge because of height and unlevel ground. I was very pleased with the final product and will hire Jesse again one day. Thanks for a job well done Jesse and crew! Toby Deaton Mills River, NC

Karnezis Construction is our first call for our home projects. They are truly one of the best in the business. The quality of their work is top-tier, and they are reliable, trustworthy, and professional. It’s hard to find a company you can consistently depend on, but Karnezis delivers every time. Highly recommend!

Jesse and his crew did great work on our porch and fence. We have used them for several projects. They communicate well and a pleasure to work with!

Jesse and his crew did an outstanding job while making every effort to satisfy to my final specifications. They are can do and did not hesitate to come to work and finish my project when, to be honest, the weather was so poor, I would have stayed home myself. I highly recommend Jessie as a stand up guy that wants to get it right. Cal Robinson Candler NC

Jessie and his crew was so creative and accommodating to our every need. Prompt, professional and very respectful of our home. All estimates were upfront and even going above and beyond what we could have ever expected. Highly recommended... 10 Stars!!

Jesse is quite literally one of the nicest, most genuine guys you'll ever meet! The quality of the work done by him and his crew on my garage was impeccable. He's quick to get you an estimate and starts the work quickly and keeps it moving along at a great pace. Jesse keeps in contact with you through the entire process. I look forward to him building the deck on my house once I save up the money for that project.

I highly recommend Karnezis Concstruction for any home projects. Jesse and Garrett are highly talented men in their industry. They turned a nightmare of a project into the most beautiful center piece of our home. Five Stars across the board.. On time Professional Clean Informative We now consider them family because they treated us like family!

Wonderful quality, great service and excellent craftsmanship! We highly recommend Karnezis Construction!

Jesse & Garrett made our home dream come true last Spring with a deck redo. Our existing deck was 35 yrs old and past due for repair. It runs the length of our house so we had 3/4 of it screened in which added about 600sq ft of living space to our home. We were able to make outdoor dining/living room/sleeping area and seriously as long as it’s not freezing outside we live out there! We are beyond pleased with the outcome! We also did a master bath remodel taking out a huge bathtub and replacing with a washer/dryer and all new flooring. Having a laundry setup on both floors of our home has been great!! This year we will start on the downstairs remodel! We are very pleased with Jesse’s work and highly recommend him for all your remodel needs! Vicky & Gary Burnette

We highly recommend Karnezis Construction! They built us an amazing outdoor oasis-our screened in porch/sun deck is now the center piece of our home. Outdoor living at its finest! Jesse and his crew work seamlessly together. They are hardworking professionals and just all around great people!! The quality and craftsmanship of their work can’t be beat. We were already planning our next project while they were working on the deck! Can’t wait to have them back to get started again. Darlene and Rob

I highly recommend Karnezis Construction for any of your remodel projects. Jesse and Garrett replaced my 30 year old front and back decks and they are absolutely gorgeous. They also hung two patio doors and we currently have another project in the works. Jesse is reliable, affordable and has been so patient with me and all my estimates. He will stay in touch with you throughout the process. His workmanship and professionalism speak for itself. I've known Jesse for years and he's become like family. He is worth any wait time.

It is difficult to put into words just how much appreciation we feel for Karnezis Construction and the work that they have done over the past few weeks on our home. After seeing some of the projects that they had completed at our neighbor’s houses, we knew that Jesse and his crew would do top notch work, but we had no idea just what a great experience it would also be to work with them. We both wanted to write reviews, so the rest of this is broken down to include some of what both of us came up with. KRISTINA: First, Jesse was excited about our vision for our front porch addition and for screening in the existing back porch. Both had some unusual design elements which Jesse was happy to talk out with us. He stopped by a couple of times while we were still in the planning stages so that we could fine tune our ideas with him. He encouraged us to send him examples of porches that we liked so that he could get a visual sense of what we were looking for in the finished product. He consistently provided us with clear estimates and timelines for the work and Jesse included adding electricity for the back porch and hired a contractor for installation. We were lucky enough to be the first project that Jesse and his team took on after the birth of his son, which was a bonus for us because we got to host the first site visit for his newborn child! MARCUS: Jesse is a people person and an incredible communicator, on top of being a true craftsman when it comes to the work that he does. Beyond all of that, though, Jesse also has an artist’s eye. In both projects, my wife, Kristina, had envisioned many of the features that have now gone from her imagination to reality over the past few weeks. When the initial ideas were shared with Jesse, he not only understood the vision immediately, but he also added his own touches to the process from that very first conversation. He handled all of the permits and legal details smoothly and without a hitch and he was very organized about his entire approach to the process. Jesse made us both feel special and consistently helped to find a pathway to “yes” whenever we had requests. KRISTINA: Right off the bat, I noticed what a good listener Jesse is. This can be rare when you are a female talking to a male contractor. When I told Jesse that my Dad had done similar work, he would reference that, saying, “You might know that since your Dad did this kind of work.” He listened to my concerns and ideas and then would share his knowledge about why something may or may not work and would suggest alternative ideas. I also noticed that Jesse attends to details and treats his crew well. He had a porta-potty on site since it was a project that would last a couple of weeks and had a dumpster ready to go before the job began. MARCUS: Jesse’s Karnezis Construction team was incredible. Kyle, Garrett, Austin, and everyone else that helped make this all happen were all very solid, trustworthy, and friendly throughout. Each and every person was approachable and helpful throughout the couple of weeks that they were working on our home. I was so impressed with their attention to detail and their craftsmanship throughout. I don’t know how to build a deck, but I do know how to cook and feed people. It was a real treat that, on the final day, I was able to make a batch of slow-cooked Al Pastor pulled pork street tacos – complete with homemade pineapple-habanero salsa, pickled vegetables, cotija cheese, and more – to feed them all. It was poetic that our first “deckwarming” involved sitting together on our new front deck with the people who made it a reality and to have a moment to feast and talk and laugh together. KRISTINA: The two weeks that they spent at our house doing the work were great. Construction is disruptive, to be sure, but Jesse is such a good communicator and works to minimize the disruptions. His crew are all so friendly and talented. They have been working together as a team for years and it really shows. When we had questions, one of them would often pull out their phone and show us pictures from other jobs that they had completed. The week AFTER the projects were done, Jesse was still in touch, managing the electrical contractor to install a ceiling fan and sconce light, then setting us up with a color consult so that we could think about next steps of painting and staining. Both the color consult folks and the electrical contractors had only good things to say about working with Jesse and the quality of his work. It’s obvious how well liked and respected he is by his community. MARCUS: Karnezis Construction transformed the front of our house so much that, for the week after it was complete, neighbors were slowing down their cars and rolling down their windows to shout out their opinions on the changes. Words like “incredible,” “beautiful,” and “amazing” were very common in these spontaneous reviews. I referred to the front porch as the “nicest room in our house.” That was until they finished the back porch, which we alternately call the “treehouse” or the “outdoor living room.” When they finished that project, we spent nearly the whole weekend in our new treehouse. We ate our meals there, played board games, and basically lounged in the fresh air, listening to the sound of the rain and occasional thunder. In fact, I sat at the table in the treehouse while I wrote my review. BOTH OF US: The work that Jesse and his team did for us has completely transformed our small house. The work, itself, is above and beyond what we envisioned. The lines are clean. The construction is solid. And they were able to work so well with the existing structure that it all, in the end, appears as if it were part of the house all along. They also went above and beyond in so many ways throughout the process, including identifying a leak in our roof and helping us to repair it before ending up with a far more expensive and challenging task down the road and helping us to personalize our decks. For example, we were given a metal crow statue by our kids several Christmases ago (made by an artist friend in Port Townsend, WA – where we used to live). Jesse used some boards to build a “crow bar” so that we could mount the statue on the corner of the front deck. He also sourced some really beautiful tongue-in-groove cedar for the ceiling on both decks, a nod to our roots in the Pacific Northwest. KRISTINA: We have lived here for two years, and that whole time I have been telling Marcus that I am not sure that I want to commit to this house for very long. Now, with the new additions, I feel like this could be home for many years to come. MARCUS: I’ve moved way too many times in my life, so hearing Kristina say that last part is the sweetest sound that I can imagine. Thank you, Karnezis Construction!!!

Jesse and his team have done multiple projects for me in the last 4 years I’ve been an Airbnb business owner in the Asheville area. Most notably, his team constructed a >700 sq ft trex deck capable of holding a 10k gallon hot tub. I had some ideas and Jesse was able to quickly work with the code officer to create a plan that blended my grandiose vision with the limitations of code enforcement, given this was constructed on steep slope. I received multiple quotes and Jesse was 25% more afford affordable. I was really blown away by how fast and professionally his team got to work. They were tremendous to work with, got the job done at the exact number quoted, and completed everything before schedule. I could not recommend Karnezis construction more highly. To bake things more special, my son took his first steps on this deck. 

I am so grateful to Al Sartorelli for introducing me to Jesse Karnezis. Karnezis Construction recently completed a huge project for me (or at least it was huge for me.). I could not be more thrilled with the end result. I have never done anything like this before, so I was especially grateful for his expertise. He arranged for every detail, even those I retrospectively felt I should have thought about (like adding lights and outdoor outlets) and made everything come together harmoniously. Maybe this is normal for any decent construction company, but prior to Jesse I have had very questionable experiences with the handful of minor projects I’ve had done. I was always able to contact him with questions & answers, he was forever open to changes (even when it meant taking things apart), and was always happy to be a part of my eccentricities. Everyone he brought to my house was a pleasure to work with. There are photos on his page from December 2025 of my dreamy light blue & purple confection of a house. I won’t post more photos here until spring comes and I can truly show it off. Suffice to say he took my house from a boring beige modular nothing to an outdoor living extravaganza (two screened porches and a covered patio), with a huge garage, and it’s now the gingerbread house (or “painted lady”) I’ve always wanted.

Could not speak higher of Jesse and his team. The guys not only produced a beautiful deck for our family, they were absolute gents the whole time they were here. They talked us through all the decisions and explained any / all details throughout. We have a wild 2 year old and to him, waiting for the builders to arrive and talk to all day was his favourite thing in the world. These guys went out of their way daily to include him and that meant to world to us. We wanted a team we could trust to do great work, but also who wanted to help us in the process… they went above and beyond for us. We’re already in discussions for our next project and Jesse’ & co will now be our go to guys. Jesse, Kyle, Garret we thank you tremendously ❤️
