Wilson-Covington has the private hunting lodge in Eastern North Carolina dried in and is beginning interior finish work. Over 85% of all the walls and ceilings in the home will be wood including species such as reclaimed Brazilian Cherry, Black and White Walnut, Pecky Cypress, Juniper, new and reclaimed Heart Pine. The Heart Pine beams have been reclaimed from Langley Air Force Base. Exterior finishes are HardiePlank and HardieShake siding. All decking is man-made.

Wilson-Covington’s unique skillset of managing large and remote commercial projects combined with a workforce of highly skilled craftsmen and a visionary owner have positioned this project as a jewel in the lore of Eastern North Carolina waterfowling.

Wilson-Covington has completed the addition of a bedroom and remodel of a bathroom in the Historic Ardmore neighborhood in Winston-Salem, NC. Work included the installation of a masonry retaining wall, steel post supports, framing and finish work. The exterior siding was HardiePlank, a long-lasting cementuous product that Wilson-Covington is very experienced in installing.

Interior work included a complete bathroom remodel, installation of a walk-in shower stall with seat and ADA grab bars, tile and trim work. Wilson-Covington is fortunate to have a highly skilled tile installer on staff and can complete any size ceramic, stone, or marble tile job.

Hardwood floors were installed in the bedroom to match those in the remainder of the house. All trim work was completed by Wilson-Covington’s skilled carpenters.

Ross “BooBoo” Dalton won the Limited Late Model 35 Lap Race on April 6th at Ace Speedway. Congratulations to Ross and his team!

Wilson-Covington Construction Co. Inc. has been selected to complete extensive structural and masonry repairs to the front and side elevations of Korner’s Folly. The Folly, begun in 1878, has deteriorated over recent years due to age, weather, and traffic along Main Street. Small repairs have been made to the masonry but have included the addition of portland cement that has further eroded the face of the original, handmade bricks. Following approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness by the Forsyth County Historical Resources Commission and issuance of permit, work will commence on the exterior of the structure. The Town of Kernersville has appropriated $135,000 to help fund the repairs.

Wilson-Covington will be adding footings below the front porch walls to help prevent future settling. The area of front porch that extends toward Main Street will be reconstructed with salvaged brick and new, handmade brick from Old Carolina Brick that will be made to match the existing. The masonry knee walls and arches at both side porches will be reconstructed on new footings, again using brick salvaged from the Folly and new brick from Old Carolina.

This project is particularly exciting for Wilson-Covington as the President, Clay V. Ring, Jr., grew up on Salisbury Street behind the Folly and constructed his first home on the next lot north of the Folly.

Wilson-Covington is proud to be completing a bedroom addition in the Historic Ardmore neighborhood of Winston-Salem, NC. The addition, combined with a bathroom remodel, will create a new master suite in the home. Work has included installing a masonry retaining wall, concrete piers, and steel posts to carry the load of the new structure. A new deck was also constructed and designed to conform to the curve of the existing driveway. See below for some before and during photographs.
