Joe Barber
"Probably the best builder I've ever worked with ..."
Just ask Joe Barber of western Carteret County, who moved into his third Bluewater built home in 2001. "The quality of the workmanship is unreal, "says Joe, who is a retired deputy commissioner with the North Carolina Department of Insurance, Engineering Division- a job in which he regulated building codes for the state. He's probably the best builder I’ve ever worked with," Joe says of Sherrell. "He does not cut corners."
Richard and Debbie Brown
"They didn't skimp on the bones of the house ..."
One couple spent two years watching area builder's work before settling on Bluewater for their Emerald Isle home. Debbie Brown says her husband, Richard, former Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance at East Carolina University, looked for workmanship and telltales signs of quality such as copper flashing and large structural beams – and he liked what he saw Bluewater doing. "He could see that they were good, quality builders" she says. "They didn't skimp on the bones of the house." Having been in their new home since 2001, the Browns haven't regretted their choice in builders. "We've been very happy" says Debbie.
Hans and Mary Van Welzen
"We wanted somebody we could trust ..."
Former engineer Hans and his wife Mary Van Welzen were also careful in selecting their builder for their nineteenth home, embarking upon a competitive bidding process with four companies before deciding to work with Bluewater. "We wanted somebody we could trust, "says Mary. She and her husband have been in their new home since July 2003, and they are particularly pleased with the Bluewater crew that was on their job. "They were superior workers," says Mary. "They did things that were planned and were willing to put in ideas that we had on our own," she says. "And they're particular about doing things the right way."
