Wilson-Covington Construction Company has begun the construction of a new store for Harris Teeter on Reynolda Road in Winston-Salem, NC. This marks the fourth new store Wilson-Covington has built for the chain and the 13th that the firm’s Construction Manager Jimmy Poore has overseen in his career.
Wilson-Covington has completed the Robinhood Road Lowes Foods remodel. This was a complete interior and exterior remodel of the grocery store. Work included plumbing, electrical, mechanical, structural, and finishes and was done during the day and at night while the store was closed. The Grand Opening was this past Saturday, 8/23.
Wilson-Covington is nearing completion of the foundation installation under the 1814/1850 Salt-Flax House in Old Salem, Winston-Salem, NC. This project is a complete restoration of the home to the 1850 configuration to be used as a personal residence. The house has been temporarily shored, the basement dug out approximately 2′, and a new CMU foundation wall laid underneath on a footing. This wall will be filled solid and waterproofed on the outside. This will allow for structural stability and for the owner to finish the basement to be a mechanical room, office, scullery, kitchen/dining area, and powder room.
Handy & Handy saw their first patients June 16, 2014 at their newest location in Bermuda Run, NC. Wilson-Covington saw this project through on time in spite of difficult winter weather and specialized construction for the orthodontic practice.
Wilson-Covington is nearing completion on the Drs. Handy & Handy Orthodontists Office in Bermuda Run, NC.
The office is 7,500 square feet on two floors and features 7 patient chairs, consultation room, laboratory, imaging room, offices, staff lounge, storage, and restrooms. Wilson-Covington has worked extensively in the medical and dental fields and this project marks the most recent in a long collaboration between Wilson-Covington and Drs. Handy & Handy.
Wilson-Covington continues restoration of the 1814 Salt-Flax shop and home in Old Salem, Winston-Salem, NC. Currently work is under way to shore the framing of the home and dig out the front three foundation walls. This will allow for installation of modern CMU walls that can be waterproofed, allowing for living space under the front shop of the structure. The existing stone and brick foundations were structurally failing. Original material will be used where visible to show visitors and guests the construction of the home while allowing for 21st century amenities in the basement.
Other work in progress includes framing repair and replacement on the main level of the home and roof replacement. The roof will be re-roofed with pressure treated pine shakes to mimic the original wood shakes.
