About Gilmore Craft and Coat
Gilmore Craft and Coat is a Wilmington based contractor that takes on residential and commercial work across the North Carolina coast, from a single room to a whole home build. Owner Shannon Gilmore leads the jobs himself and brings decades of hands on construction experience to how the company plans, communicates, and finishes every project. The team keeps homeowners informed from the first walkthrough to the final inspection, protects the spaces it works in, and keeps each site clean and organized so the work stays respectful of the home.
A talented in house crew handles the core trades, and trusted long time subcontractors step in for specialty phases like roofing so quality holds across the whole project. Painting sits at the center of the work, alongside kitchen and bath remodeling, custom carpentry, decks and outdoor living, siding, flooring, and durable epoxy finishes. Homeowners weighing a project can request a free on site estimate or a phone consultation, and Gilmore Craft and Coat serves Wilmington and the surrounding Brunswick, Pender, Onslow, and New Hanover communities.
