Custom Home Builders in Barium Springs

“Mike McMillan of MCM Construction does a fantastic job of setting expectations, staying on budget and delivering a great home. He has a great attention to detail. He greatly understands building science which is the key to delivering a tight energy efficient home.”

“Great Home Builder! Planishek Properties from the beginning listened to our needs through design, installation and was very transparent on what was to come. Planishek Properties team sent updates, invited our input on everything and didn't hesitate to make suggestions that helped us make decisions. We highly recommend their team to build your next home around Lake Norman or anywhere else. If we decide to do this again, we will definitely be reaching out to them for our next custom build.”

“My wife and I purchased a home on Lake Norman 14 years ago knowing that one day we would turn it into something special. Over the course of owning the home we did a few little projects like remodeled the pool, resurfaced the docks, added a screen porch, built an outdoor kitchen and bar, etc. When we finally got serious about doing our inside remodel we called Mike Shalvoy with Patrick Joseph Destinctive Homes. I meet Mike through a mutual friend that used Mike and his team to build their house. After meeting with Mike a couple times we felt like he understood our vision, goals and budget. Seven months later we couldn't be more happy with the results. We completely gutted the inside of our home down to the studs. We took out walls to open the floor plan, raised ceilings and created a huge kitchen and entertaining area. All new water lines, electrical, insulation, sheet rock, doors and the list goes on. We have a completely new home on the inside that looks amazing.”

“We have been very pleased with the addition/ kitchen remodel Distinctive Design/Build/Remodel completed for us. We outgrew our previous kitchen space and I had been frustrated with many aspects of the kitchen design. Vince and Erin listened to the challenges we had in our old space and came up with a design that has worked out as we had hoped for our new space. I love my kitchen again and we really enjoy our additional sunroom and mudroom space. The flow and ample storage areas work out well for our large family. All of the team, including subcontractors, were polite and safety conscious which was important with 4 children from 4 to 12 around the home. We were kept up to date regarding progress and all concerns were addressed in a timely manner. The remodel took a little bit longer than expected, and we were a little naive about the energy it took to move items within our house and live with upheaval for a time, however the results were well worth it!!!”

“We worked with Advanced Renovations on a complicated kitchen remodel, that demanded the talents and skill set that can only be found in a company as professional as Advanced Renovations. Duane Johns and Roger Ketchum of Advanced Renovations made this complicated project a breeze for the homeowners and the subcontractors alike. This is no easy task, and signifies the level of professionalism that is not easily found. Their knowledge of their profession is remarkable. I would not only enjoy working with them in the future, but I would hire them myself. Being in the business I get to see it all, but never have I seen a company that goes to the level that Advanced Renovations will. That go the distance and then some. Bravo Advanced Renovations!”

“Topsider Homes earned our confidence in all aspects of its offerings: innovative design; soundness and efficacy of engineering; strength of the structure; quality of components; and, accessibility of service during construction. The construction blueprints, manuals and videos are clear and precise in every detail, which assures that builders, building inspectors and owners are provided all the information for project installation and inspections of the Topsider-provided prefabricated components and to assure effective tie-in of any necessary builder-provided components (such as decks, patios, entranceways and site preparation). Construction of any kind is always full of challenges as a consequence of the variability in the qualities of the builder and his subs. We spent months working with Topsider to locate a builder experienced in installing a Topsider or similar prefabricated home…but found that this was not necessary as the construction information provided by Topsider makes it possible for any competent builder and subs to properly erect the structure. Topsider people were always available and responsive to provide answers and solutions to construction questions and issues. Our contract was entered into in April 2016. The County Building Inspector issued his Certificate of Occupancy in March 2017. Since that time there have been no quality issues with Topsider materials or design. As regards design and engineering we are particularly pleased with the strength of the structure in dealing with frequent high winds and gusts at our mountain site…a consequence of all load bearing components being focused on the center steel beam which allows interior room design flexibility and utilization of ductless HVAC systems. We are particularly pleased that we included the optional Cupola. The R-39 hard insulation components make the home energy efficient and add strength and integrity of the overall structure. The space inside the pedestal accommodates and secures electric and water utilities. In our relatively cold climate it has been necessary to install electric heating “tapes” to water lines and drains extending from the pedestal, which is the responsibility of the builder, but which really should be noted in the blueprints and builder instructions. We are pleased with our Topsider home and recommend the company to others.”

“The entire team is very professional and responsive. They helped me throughout the entire design process. If you need an awesome design team, this is the company to choose. If I need help with any other designs, I would 100% use them again. Thank you so much! From, Ebony Phillips”

“I am a Real Estate Broker and my wife and I also buy and rehab homes for resale and to keep in our rental portfolio. Cody and his crew have done several jobs for me personally and for clients of mine. They are great at what they do and I have always achieved nothing but the best and most professional results in each of our projects. Each project was on time, but more importantly on budget. When dealing with the tight budget flips and rentals require, we can not afford surprises. I do not hesitate to refer Cody to anyone looking for a quality job.”

“Brent and his father, Garland, built a new home for us in Mill House Place that was completed in 2012. From start to finish, they were easy to work with. They provided a realistic timeline and remained on track throughout the building process, were fair in pricing their work and never cut corners, always took time to talk with us about products that could used in building our home, and were very knowledgeable about every aspect of the construction process. An added bonus is that both Brent and Garland are accomplished craftsmen and expect the best from subcontractors. In fact, Brent is an amazing talent. He designed and built the library in our home and added numerous personal touches throughout. Our family and friends have been extremely impressed with the quality and creativity apparent in Brent's design and finish work--he far surpassed our expectations. Finally, both Brent and Garland are easy to talk to and have high ethical standards. They definitely are deserving of a 5 star rating--a very special company!”

“I have worked with Jason in the past and I cannot recommend anyone more highly! If you are in need of a truly custom home builder, look no further! When I am looking to build my next house, Jason will be the first person that I will call. Very professional and gives you time and attention that your project needs.”
