Homeowner reviews

Why North Carolina homeowners trust Wize.

An A+ BBB rating and 100+ years of combined industry experience tell part of the story. The rest comes from homeowners who remember that Wize answered the phone, kept them informed, respected their property and followed through.

If you are looking for a professional who combines technical skill with a seamless project experience, I cannot recommend Austin Houser highly enough. He recently completed a new cedar deck for us, and the results are absolutely stunning. He stayed on schedule, kept a clean workspace, and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process. It is rare to find a contractor who is as reliable as they are talented.

The (2) staff was on time and started working non-stop, very exceptional. The equipment was placed on the property 30 minutes after they started working to remove the older porch/deck that was in place. It was completed in 2 days with no issues. I’m very happy and pleased that I chose Wize Home Services for my needs. The price was very reasonable for my budget. I wish I could give more than just 5 Stars. Thanks for everything that was done.

Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨ We hired Wiz to build a screened-in porch on the back of our house and a vinyl fence, and we are incredibly happy with the results. We have been using the porch and enjoying the fence for just over a month now, and the quality of the space is fantastic. In fact, my husband sits on the porch every single day, and our neighbors can’t stop complimenting the work! What stood out most during the entire process was the excellent communication from Jenny and Chuck. We actually experienced a project delay while waiting for our HOA to approve the plans, but the team stayed completely on top of communication and kept everything organized the entire time. Furthermore, they were incredibly proactive about quality control. If there was ever a minor detail we were unpleased with, they noticed it and corrected it immediately before we even had to ask. They were truly on top of doing a great job from start to finish. We highly recommend Wiz for your next home project!

I had wize home install new gutter guards on my home & im very happy and pleased with the service. They showed up on time, & got the job done in one day, Thank you!

We needed a newer look for our 50’s era brick home. Wize helped us choose new porch columns, which they installed and stained, then painted our dull brick home into a lovely white, setting off the roof and garden and making the house look much bigger. Now people we don’t even know stop by to tell us how awesome our house looks! Wize always got back to me quickly if I had any questions, and their service was outstanding. I will definitely give them a call if we decide to do any more work on or in the house.

Jeanette P

Outstanding experience from start to finish! The team was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about gutters and drainage solutions. They took the time to explain the entire process, answered all my questions, and made sure everything was done right the first time. The installation was clean, efficient, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. My home looks great, and I already noticed a huge improvement in water flow and protection around the foundation. If you’re looking for a reliable home service company for gutter guard installation, repairs, or replacement, I highly recommend them. Great communication, fair pricing, and top-tier craftsmanship.

Questions homeowners ask

You've got questions. Wize has answers.

1. How do I know if I need a roof repair or full replacement?

A few missing shingles, damaged flashing, or a limited leak may be repairable. Widespread granule loss, brittle shingles, repeated leaks, soft decking, storm damage, or an aging roof may point toward replacement. Wize Home Services begins with a roof inspection and explains what can reasonably be repaired before recommending a larger project.

2. Should I call a roofing contractor or my insurance company first after damage?

Document visible damage, prevent further water entry where safely possible, and contact your insurance company promptly. A professional hail damage roof inspection can help identify affected areas, but the insurance carrier decides what the policy covers. Avoid permanent repairs until the insurer has had an opportunity to inspect the loss unless emergency work is needed to protect the home.

3. Will homeowners insurance automatically pay for my entire roof?

Not necessarily. NC insurers pay for covered direct physical damage, which may mean repairing only the damaged area rather than replacing the whole roof. Coverage also depends on the policy, deductible, roof condition, cause of loss, and the adjuster’s findings. Wize can document the project scope and complete approved storm damage roof repair without promising an outcome controlled by the insurer.

4. Do I need permits for home remodeling in Hickory, NC?

It depends on the project. General construction, structural work, additions, and many electrical, plumbing, and mechanical changes require permits. Projects may also need zoning or utility approvals before a building permit can be issued. Wize handles applicable permits, structural filings, and documentation so homeowners do not have to chase each department themselves.

5. How can I compare remodeling estimates when every contractor includes something different?

Do not compare only the final number. Check the materials, quantities, brands, preparation, demolition, disposal, permits, repairs, payment schedule, projected timeline, warranty, and exclusions. A lower kitchen remodeling or window replacement quote may simply leave important work outside the price. Wize provides a defined scope so homeowners understand what the estimate is and is not covering.

6. How much should I pay before construction begins?

The payment structure should follow the size and type of project, material commitments, and completed milestones. Be cautious about paying most or all of the total before meaningful work begins. Your written agreement should clearly explain deposits, progress payments, change orders, and the balance due after completion.

7. What happens if hidden damage is found after work starts?

Roof decking, wall sheathing, framing, subfloors, window openings, siding, and bathroom walls can conceal moisture, rot, or previous poor repairs. No honest general contractor can guarantee that every hidden condition will be visible during the first visit. The right response is to stop, document what was uncovered, explain the available repair options, and approve any change in writing before additional work proceeds.

8. Is it better to hire separate contractors for roofing, windows, siding, kitchens, and bathrooms?

That can work for isolated projects, but connected work becomes harder when several companies control different parts of the home. A roof leak may involve siding, insulation, ceilings, and painting. Window installation may uncover damaged trim or framing. Wize Home Services coordinates roofing, siding installation, window replacement, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting, decks, and general construction through one team, reducing handoff problems and finger-pointing.

9. How long will my home remodeling project take?

The timeline depends on scope, material availability, permits, inspections, weather, hidden conditions, and whether several trades must work in sequence. A roof replacement may move quickly, while a kitchen, bathroom, basement, deck, or whole-home renovation requires more coordination. Wize reviews the expected schedule before work begins and keeps homeowners updated when field conditions affect it.

10. What should I look for before choosing a general contractor in Hickory, NC?

Look beyond the sales presentation. Verify the business, check licensing when required, read recent customer feedback, request a detailed written scope, understand who handles permits, and ask who will communicate once the work reaches production. Wize Home Services brings more than 50 years of combined industry experience, an A+ BBB rating, multiple project contacts, and over 10 years of service in the Hickory area.
