Choosing a construction company to perform your renovation or construction needs can seem overwhelming.
Price and quality are often top of the requirement list. Reference and reviews can go a long way in helping you make a choice as well.
However, finding a qualified and certified general contractor is vastly important. The expertise of a general contractor who has taken the time to become licensed and insured should never be overlooked.
Important things to remember:
- Mistakes and accidents can happen
- Having the protection of a licensed and insured company is imperative for such situations
Clients should always ask for a certificate of liability from anyone who does work on their home. This certificate should name the homeowner as the insured customer, and the limits should be high enough to cover the cost to replace the entire home (not just the cost of the project that’s being done). That way a client knows they are protected in the event damage is done to their existing property. For example, if a contractor was to leave a battery charging overnight, and the battery or charger was to catch fire, causing the entire home to burn down, the contractor’s liability insurance would cover the cost of those damages, as well as replacement cost for the clients belongings. If a contractor does not have proper insurance, a client would be left to battle with their own homeowner’s policy holder, and they may or may not cover those losses.

What does it mean to be licensed, insured and bonded?
It means the company has taken the steps to become a licensed business.
They have taken out liability insurance and made payments to a surety company for protection. Liability insurance protects you, your family and your home from personal injuries or property damage.
In other words, the contracting company you have hired are accountable for any damages that could occur under their guidance.
Licensed contractors have been trained to understand and meet all requirements set by the city council and federal government. They will pull the required permits for each project and schedule inspections to make sure your home meets and passes all safety examinations. Having the correct permits is invaluable when it’s time to sell your home.
When a client hires a licensed general contractor, they can be assured that the GC has a deep understanding of all building codes and requirements. Unlicensed contractors would not be able to pull permits, so a client would be at their own risk when hiring these potentially unqualified people.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of our amazing company. It has been such an adventure and one we are very proud of. We wanted to take this time to reflect back over the years and remember how far we have come.
How P&R started:
Damian & Camron were friends for many years before starting the company. They were working as Superintendents when they first began to discuss the prospect, but eventually they both moved on to work different jobs. Keeping in touch throughout the years, they never forgot their dream of starting a construction business together.
When the recession hit, it seemed the perfect time to build a company that would be viable in many construction sectors while being as recession-proof as possible.
“First, we had to sit down and sell our business plan to our future CFO, my wife Lisa, which none of what we have created could be possible. While she worked her full-time job, she continually gave countless hours, as she does today, to develop and run our complete financial foundation.”
After deciding on the company name, getting a logo made and officially registering the business, they were set to go! Major networking, taking any jobs available, which included painting and mowing lawns, they worked tirelessly to get P&R Property off of the ground.
From a little run-down office behind a feed store, to the new office with 20 employees in Downtown Apex, the company has continued to grow year after year. Learning & evolving over time and always trying to live by the values of Respect, Integrity & Transparency.
P&R continue to strive to give back to their employees & the communities they live and work in. Constantly remembering to show appreciation for what they help the business to achieve.
Looking to the future:
“10 years has gone by so fast and we have grown so much, yet there is so much more we want to achieve. We welcome new challenges and strive to get better every day so we can watch what we have created evolve to a business of strength for the next decade to come.”
We are truly thankful to all of our loyal customers, employees & families – Here’s to the next 10 years!

We know this last month has been very tough on most of us. Crazy new schedules that are mostly being conducted from home and learning to live with what is our new norm right now; it can drive even the calmest of us a little crazy.
There are things to look forward to though and we want to help keep your spirits high during this difficult time.
Remember, this won’t last forever.
Try to keep positive and look to the future, imagining all the fun things you can do soon. Sit down and talk with your loved-ones about any future ideas or plans. Create a list of things that each of you would like to achieve, a “After Pandemic Bucket List” of sorts!
- Plan a vacation for the upcoming year. Get everyones opinions and come to a conclusion that makes the whole family happy.
- Talk about future goals that you’d all like to achieve. Maybe take up a new hobby or an outdoor activity you’ve never tried once the stay-at-home order has been lifted.
- Plan some updates or renovations for your home or yard. Think about what you’d really enjoy having added to your life right at this moment, which would help ease the circumstances we are in now.
- Research a new look. Once the salons are back open, a new cut or color can be an exciting and fun experience to look forward to.
We also want to take this time to keep our customers (past, present & future) aware that we are always here and there are many ways we can still be useful to your home or business needs.
We’ve seen a surge in requests for certain amenities and add-ons, all while keeping social-distancing and health & safety at the forefront of our minds.
Some Things to Consider:
- Summer is well on its way! Having your HVAC system checked and tuned-up before the hottest days of the year are here is a great idea.
- Windows, roofing and siding can all be done with minimal invasion to the interior of your home.
- Screen-in those porches. Creating a safe, secluded and bug-free area on your deck can completely change the space. It’s like adding a whole new living-area to your home. We can add a roof and screens and even custom pieces if wanted.
Don’t forget:
We are a full-service general contractor and can do just about anything! These strange and uncertain times encourage us to help you even more! We offer competitive prices and will strive to give you a great deal, follow all safety protocols and the do best job we can.
We hope this temporary time can be spent with your family, making plans and making memories along the way!

The historical renovation of the Sterling Cotton Mill in Franklinton, NC took place in 2018-2019. This beautiful L-shaped brick building was once a thriving cotton mill built by Samuel C. Vann in 1895. The mill closed in 1991 and became listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
The General Contractor for the project was Rehab Builders, Inc based in Winston-Salem, NC. P&R Property Group were contracted to do the Drywalling & Painting of the building. This was a wonderful project to work on and to see the historical beauty in person was quite inspiring!
The history of the Cotton Mill is so very rich that we wanted to point out a few of the fascinating things we learned along the way.
Our first photos depict one of the original structures dating back to 1895. Great care has been taken to make sure this beautiful building keeps its historical ‘bones’ and it is currently being renovated to become the fitness center.

Our next photos highlight some of the fabulous window casings throughout the property. Keeping the integrity of these windows was of high importance! To maintain the Historical status that the Sterling Cotton Mill holds, preservation has to be taken very seriously and extra preparation, support & effort had to take place.

The photo below shows a poster that was inside the Mill at demo time. Farley Industries was founded by William F. Farley, who served as president and CEO of Fruit of the Loom from 1985 until 1999. Fruit of the Loom is an American company that manufactures clothing, particularly underwear. The mill was purchased in 1972 by Union Underwear Company, manufacturers of Fruit of the Loom fabric products, linking Farley Industries to this wonderful history-making building!
It’s was an amazing journey seeing this building take shape. We watched it change from the beautiful and historic Cotton Mill, to the stunning Lofts @ Sterling Mill it is today.
Even with the vast amount of changes that took place, Sterling Mill has managed to keep its historical integrity throughout. Attending the grand opening of this long-awaited building was so fulfilling. To look back at where it started and seeing the final outcome has been inspiring.
Rehab Builders did a fantastic job preserving so many of the historical details that make the building what it is today; a charming and well-used space that generations to come will get to enjoy.
Some more interesting facts before we showcase some of our favorite photos from the grand opening:
- The bricks that were used throughout the project were made on site, using the original soil that was initially there. The curing process for each of these bricks differed depending on where they were to be used; Interior wall bricks needed less curing time than the bricks used for the exterior (and therefore stronger) walls.
- To keep the historical beauty alive, many of the decorative pieces used throughout the property were original from the Mill itself, refurbished to their former glory.
