A Remodeling Team That Puts Your Project First

Helping residential and commercial property owners make informed remodeling decisions with nearly 20 years of industry experience.

Every remodeling project begins with understanding how the space is used today and what you want it to become. At Albatross Construction, we believe thoughtful planning and honest conversations create better remodeling experiences for residential and commercial property owners throughout Wilmington, NC. Rather than rushing through an estimate, we take time to inspect the property, discuss your goals, explain available options, and answer your questions before recommendations are made.

Owner Zak Poppell built his construction knowledge over nearly 20 years in the industry. After beginning construction work at 18 years old, he spent 12 years performing construction work in the military before continuing with residential and commercial projects in the civilian sector. Those experiences shaped the way we approach every remodeling project today, with careful planning, straightforward communication, and attention to the details that matter during construction.

We work with homeowners looking to improve bathrooms, kitchens, flooring, and outdoor living spaces, as well as commercial property owners planning renovations that support their day-to-day operations. Every project is approached with the understanding that no two properties are alike. Existing layouts, material selections, project goals, and the condition of the space all influence the recommendations we provide.

 

One of the things that sets Albatross Construction apart is our consultation process. We believe in straightforward communication, which is why Zak is your first point of contact. He personally guides the early planning stages to ensure your remodeling goals are prioritized from day one. We believe informed customers make better decisions, and we’re committed to providing the guidance needed throughout the planning process.

We also believe the construction process deserves as much attention as the finished space. That’s why we document projects from beginning to completion, allowing customers to see the care that goes into preparation, installation, and every stage of the work. Whether we’re remodeling a bathroom, building a custom deck, installing new flooring, renovating a kitchen, or completing a commercial project, our goal is to provide workmanship that reflects the standards we’ve built our reputation on throughout nearly two decades in the construction industry.
