A little look at last week’s outing! Caroline and Becky joined BIRD Decorative Hardware & Bath for their Black & White Sunset Cruise on the Cape Fear River. 🛥️

We’re so thankful to be part of such a special construction community here in Wilmington. Thank you, BIRD, for having us and putting together such a fun evening!

Some of our favorite homes are the ones that make it easy for people to gather and spend time together.

In our newest blog, we’re sharing a few design ideas we’ve been noticing and loving, especially for coastal homes here in Wilmington. If you’re considering a renovation or planning a custom build, these ideas may help you start thinking about how you want your home to look, feel and function.

A beautiful home may begin with a vision, but it is built by people. 🏡

It is built by those who arrive early, work through the heat, solve the problems no one else sees, and take pride in doing the job right. Their knowledge, skill, and dedication can be found in every detail of every home we have the privilege of building. 🛠️

This Labor Day, we recognize the craftsmen, tradespeople, subcontractors, vendors, and team members who have helped shape The Shellhammer Group over the years. What we do would not be possible without the people who stand beside us and give their best to every project.

We are incredibly grateful for each of you and proud of what we continue to build together.

Happy Labor Day from The Shellhammer Group!

✨ TEAM SPOTLIGHT | Becky Roberts

Help us welcome Becky Roberts to The Shellhammer Group as our new Administrative Bookkeeper!

We are thrilled to have Becky join our team! A Wilmington native, she brings a strong accounting background, attention to detail, and a positive attitude that already make her a wonderful addition to The Shellhammer Group. Behind the scenes, Becky will help keep things running smoothly by managing invoices and payments, maintaining financial records, and supporting our day-to-day operations.

Having grown up on Middle Sound, Becky also has a special appreciation for the homes and communities we’re fortunate to work in every day.

In Becky’s own words:

“I am very proud to join such a dynamic team! Being a Wilmington native, I grew up in a beautiful home on the water at Middle Sound. It is a delight to be a part of your home build or renovation. I am honored to provide accurate, timely and transparent bookkeeping. I look forward to meeting clients, subs and vendors alike!”

Most people know us for building and renovating homes, but we also help our clients get their properties ready when a hurricane is headed our way. 🌀

That may mean boarding up windows, bringing in patio furniture, securing anything outside, or checking shutters and exterior doors. It can be especially helpful if you are out of town or just need an extra set of hands.

If you would like us to have a plan for your property, reach out before there is a storm on the radar. Once one is headed our way, schedules fill up quickly.

Summer has a way of shining a light on the spaces we love and the ones we are ready to reimagine. ☀️

As the season begins to wind down and coastal homes become a little quieter, it is the perfect time to start planning for next summer.

Whether it is an updated bathroom, a reworked kitchen, or simply creating a space that makes the most of your view, thoughtful renovations can completely change the way you experience your home.

What would make your home shine a little brighter next summer? ✨

Let The Shellhammer Group help bring your vision to light.

If you’re planning to make a move in the Wilmington area, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is whether to purchase an existing home or build a custom one. While both options have their advantages, the right choice depends on your lifestyle, your long term goals, and the type of home you e...

You see a living room, we see a work of art.

This tray ceiling with custom millwork detailing naturally draws the eye through the space, adding depth, dimension, and a sense of scale that elevates the entire room while keeping the space light and refined.
