We’re excited to share a new development at Azalea Kitchens: our owner, David Slater, is now a licensed HVAC contractor in the state of North Carolina. Already known for his attention to detail and high standards as a licensed General Contractor (NC License #83640), David’s decision to pursue an HVAC license reflects his continued commitment to raising the bar on how our remodeling projects are executed.
Why Would a Kitchen Remodeler Get an HVAC License?
For David, the decision to obtain an HVAC license wasn’t about expanding our services, it was about refining and improving our home remodeling process. HVAC systems are often involved in kitchen and whole-home remodels, particularly when layouts shift, appliances upgrade, or energy efficiency is prioritized. Rather than continuing to rely on outside providers for that piece of the puzzle, we saw an opportunity to bring it in-house and do it better.
Streamlining Complex Remodels That Involve Multiple Trades
At Azalea Kitchens, we’re known for managing comprehensive remodeling projects that require careful coordination across multiple trades. Over the years, we’ve built long-standing partnerships with highly skilled subcontractors such as countertop stone fabrication, electrical, plumbing, and hardwood flooring refinishing. These experts remain an essential part of how we do what we do.
But when it came to HVAC, we recognized that bringing this capability in-house would allow us to streamline one of the most commonly needed—and often delay-prone—components of a remodel. Now, with an HVAC license in place, we can maintain tighter control over quoting and scheduling, ensuring consistent quality and the ability to simplify the process for everyone involved.
Built for Larger Projects
We’ve always taken on large-scale remodels that involve more than just cabinetry and countertops. These are jobs where every detail matters, and timelines can be sensitive. Adding HVAC to our internal capabilities doesn’t change the size or scope of the work we do—it just makes it more efficient. It’s another step in optimizing how we deliver exceptional outcomes, without compromising on quality or adding unnecessary complexity.
What This Means for You
With both General Contractor and HVAC licenses, Azalea Kitchens offers a rare level of in-house expertise. This means fewer delays, more accurate timelines, and stronger accountability from start to finish. It also ensures full legal compliance—an important distinction in North Carolina, where HVAC work requires a licensed professional to meet state regulations and protect homeowners.
Most importantly, it reflects the philosophy we’ve always followed: do excellent work, do it the right way, and always look for ways to improve.
