Report
I used C4 Builders for an office upfit in South End Charlotte, NC and highly recommend them!! They are great to work with, really fair pricing, excellent communication (which I've learned is not standard for the industry) and great quality. Ruben is a top notch guy and his crews are very friendly and accommodating even with a tight timeline. I have since moved and our new landlord forced a contractor on us who was unfortunately not the same wonderful quality or experience with C4. For future projects and commercial upfits they'll be my first and only call!
