What Lake Norman Homeowners Say About Us
Next Horizon and owner Matt Phillips are among the most professional, honest, and timely contractors I've ever hired. Matt stayed on time and budget. Things go wrong during any construction project and unexpected changes come up — Matt never sugar-coated it. He was always forthright and proactive.
They paid close attention to my specifications and created a stunning home. The team is competent, polite, and extremely reliable. If you're looking for a masterful builder in the Lake Norman area, I highly recommend Matt Phillips and Next Horizon.
Matt is very well versed in all things construction. More importantly, he brings things to light in a very clear and understandable way. He produces top quality work and gets straight to the point on how to accomplish it.
