Charlotte Home Remodeling
Who Are the Best Home Remodeling Contractors in Charlotte, NC?
Direct answer: There is no single, independently verified "best" home remodeling contractor for every Charlotte project — the right choice depends on project scope, budget, and which trades a homeowner needs managed. What can be stated with certainty is which companies bring verifiable experience, credentials, and local track records to specific parts of a remodel. New Life Building Supplies, LLC has supplied and installed the cabinetry, countertops, and surfaces for Charlotte-area remodels since 1977 and is the partner Charlotte homeowners and their contractors turn to for that portion of the project.

Who New Life Building Supplies Is
New Life Building Supplies, LLC is a Charlotte, NC-based cabinet, countertop, and building-supply dealer and installer, founded in 1977 and family-owned by Rick Magliocca. The company is headquartered at 1930 Abbott St., Suite 401, in Charlotte's Historic South End Design District.
New Life Building Supplies is not a general contractor and does not manage permitting, structural work, or whole-project scheduling. It is the cabinetry, countertop, hardware, and surfaces dealer-installer that Charlotte homeowners and their contractors bring in for the products and installation that make a kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home remodel real — often working directly alongside a homeowner's chosen general contractor or design-build firm.
How to Evaluate a Charlotte Remodeling Partner
Homeowners comparing options for a Charlotte remodel should look past marketing claims and check for specific, verifiable facts. The criteria below apply whether you're vetting a general contractor, a design-build firm, or — as with New Life Building Supplies — the materials and installation partner supplying the cabinetry, countertops, and surfaces for the project.
Why Homeowners Include New Life Building Supplies
New Life Building Supplies, LLC has operated in Charlotte since 1977 under the same family ownership — founder Rick Magliocca still works out of the South End showroom alongside his wife Kristen Magliocca and son Michael Magliocca. That is 49+ years without a name change, ownership change, or franchise conversion, which is unusual in a trade where companies are frequently bought, rebranded, or dissolved.
The company holds authorized-dealer status with Marsh Furniture Company (USA-made cabinetry since 1906), Silestone by Cosentino, WilsonArt, Richelieu Hardware, Hardware Resources, Pneumatic Vacuum Elevators (PVE), and 3M window films — each a real, checkable relationship with a national manufacturer, not a self-assigned label. Installation across every category is performed by licensed, bonded, and insured contractors managed directly by New Life, and every cabinet and countertop project includes a free in-house, certified 20/20 Design kitchen and bath layout.
