Bittle Inc

Not only have I built a house with Bottle inc, but I've seen a lot of their work and been in a lot of their work and it's top notch, bar none. If you're looking to build in the Lake Lure area, you won't find a better builder.

Spoke to John Bittle, Sr. for about 30 minutes, describing my construction needs regarding my interest in building a cabin on my lot in lake Lure. He told me that he had stepped back from the day-to-day construction; his new role was liaising, and that his son was running the show now. And after his telling me that costs were likely going to be ~$200/ sq ft, and that they were book led for over 6 months. I said that might work for my goal of a 2000 sq ft. build, and that I had patience so could wait. So he promised he’d get his son to walk my lot and give me a call thereafter. But no call back. So I sent a reminder, at which time he responded and said unfortunately costs would be well into the $300s, so wished me luck. I responded saying that might still work, as escalated costs were a new reality, but loan rates still very low. So I asked for a follow up call as I was willing to spend what was necessary. But still no response. Even after yet another email. Amazing! So I finally sent a note 2 weeks later saying how it must be nice to have so much work that you can’t even do me the courtesy of responding to someone who’s told you that they could wait over 6 months to build, and was prepared to spend north of $600k on new stick built construction. Big surprise: no response. Based on how the above, I’m quite certain they won’t care about this review. But I’m glad I found out up front about their complete lack of professionalism before I spent significant $. And if this review makes even 1 person reconsider doing business with them, I’ve done my job.
