Serving Coulwood from Our Belmont Location
Coulwood is a collection of established neighborhoods in northwest Charlotte. According to Wikipedia, this community area was created around 1953, and in 1958 the Coulwood Community Council was organized by residents interested in neighborhood recreation and community betterment. The area is located between the Brookshire Freeway and Mount Holly Road.
We’re based in Belmont, approximately 15-20 minutes from Coulwood via Mount Holly Road or NC-16. Coulwood comprises nearly 1,400 homes in the northwest corner of Charlotte, offering what residents describe as “a little slice of hometown in the big city.” When your heating or cooling system needs attention, you want someone who can get there reliably and fix it right.
Coulwood is known for its annual 4th of July parade and celebration, a tradition that starts at Coulwood Middle School and ends at Paw Creek Elementary School. The volunteer-run Coulwood Community Council continues to host events throughout the year, maintaining the neighborhood’s strong sense of community.
