Here at Nest Realty, we love the businesses that help turn a house into a home. In this series, we chat with the builders, architects, designers, and other artisans behind these local businesses.
In this installment of Artisan’s Corner, we sit down with Robert Gastwirth of BuilderPro LLC, a local contractor passionate about customer-centered home building.
Nest Realty: Tell us about yourself! What brought you to our town?
Robert Gastwirth: I came to Wilmington in 2000 shortly after Hurricane Floyd to build a home in Landfall. My family moved to Wilmington in 2002. Since that time we’ve built multiple homes in Landfall, and have completed many remodels on investment properties for students living around UNCW.
NR: How did you get into home building?
RG: I started with a small cabinet business in my basement in Pennsylvania and doing trim carpentry for Toll Brothers. It expanded into general contracting shortly after.
NR: What sets you apart? What makes you different from other builders?
RG: I have not only the book knowledge that goes with construction, but also hands-on experience—since 1978.
NR: What upcoming projects are you most excited about?
RG: A spec home under construction at 7632 Navigator Lane.
NR: What is your favorite part of being a builder?
RG: I like all the fine details that go into creating a beautiful home.
