HOA and condo capital projects
in Wilmington, NC.
SJB Contracting is a licensed Unlimited general contractor for HOA, condo and multifamily capital projects in New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties. We take structural, envelope, water intrusion and community-wide work, scope it to the reserve study line or the engineer's report, and build it under one contract. Every project closes out with before, during and after photos and the permits, for the association records.
One contractor for the work the reserve study is funding.
The projects that come with a board vote, an engineer's letter or an insurance claim. Jay walks it with your manager, and the board gets one written scope, one fixed price by building or phase, and one contractor responsible for every trade on it.

How capital projects run.
Run the way a board and a reserve analyst need them run, from the first walk to the records.
Walk and scope
Jay walks it with your manager. You get a written scope with photos that a reserve analyst can read without a site visit.
Price and phase
Fixed price by building or phase. Hidden-condition allowance stated up front and billed only as used, with photos.
Permit and build
Permits pulled, sealed drawings through a licensed NC engineer where the code requires, one crew lead on the project.
Close out
Inspections by phase. Before, during and after photos and permits filed with the association's records.
Why boards are funding structural work now. For loan applications dated January 4, 2027 or later, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require an association to budget at least 15% of its assessment income to reserves, and unfunded critical repairs can make every unit ineligible for financing. A licensed GC's scope and closeout record give the board a paper trail a lender can review.
