HomeBuild

These guys listened to our dream, made it better, then made it happen! They built a large deck, massive pergola, and a spacious cabin on the slope of our backyard with walkway pavers from the house. We are grateful to HomeBuild for the wonderful experience we’ve had with them, their professionalism, their brilliant ideas, and their stellar level of execution. But above all, Rafael and Frank are good people, with good hearts, and they truly cared about us and making us happy. Thank you for going the extra mile for us, guys!

Rafael and his team at HomeBuild did an excellent job on our upper porch. We had drainage issues that had caused rotting. They replaced the rotted materials and remedied the drainage issue for us. They were very professional, prompt and neat throughout the entire process. I highly recommend HomeBuild for your home project needs.

I couldn't be more impressed with the team that built my covered porch with retractable screens. From our initial consultation in February to completion on April 4th, every phase of the project proceeded exactly as scheduled. The crew arrived promptly at 8 AM each morning and worked with remarkable efficiency. The quality of materials exceeded my expectations. They used premium wood for the structural elements and top-grade screening. Even the concrete footings were finished with a decorative edge I hadn't anticipated but absolutely love. I've had multiple contractors work on my home over the years, but none have demonstrated this level of craftsmanship and professionalism. If you're considering a covered porch with retractable screens, look no further. Their work transforms not just your home, but your entire outdoor living experience.

Installed a difficult hood vent in the wall and modified a cabinet above that looks great. I would definitely use them for my next project.

2024..Met HomeBuild when Realtor friend recommended him. A delivery truck had plowed into our garage and destabilized the entire front. The owner assessed damage, worked with our structural engineer and proceeded with all county requirements, ordering materials and then completing the work with his team of skilled workmen. A few months later, I called for the installation of kitchen cabinets and we continue to be excited about the finished product. I won't call anyone else but HomeBuild. Their communication, timeliness and thoroughness make each job complete with our total satisfaction. We intend to have a long relationship with this trusted contractor. 2025....September. Floor installer said the hall was squishy. Call HomeBuild. Owner went under the house, took photos. Termites from 20 years ago had left the joists looking like lace. Owner developed a plan and several weeks later all new support joists were in place and floor stabilized. We wanted to retreat for termites and the owner of that company came out from under the house and exclaimed. "Wow. Who did this work? They did it right!" This week HomeBuild helped us out with a new toilet replacement and repaired the floor of our kitchen sink cabinet that warped so badly after a leak last year, I couldn't pull the pull-out out. Ugh. HomeBuild to the rescue. Within hours the projects were complete and we're excited to move back in with the cleaning supplies. I only want and need HomeBuild.

HomeBuild just completed a laundry room remodel for us, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Raphael, Frank, and the rest of the HomeBuild team were an absolute pleasure to work with—professional, skilled, and truly dedicated to delivering high-quality work. From start to finish, they made the process smooth and stress-free, ensuring that every detail was handled with care. The craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding, and they kept everything on schedule and within budget. I’ll definitely be using HomeBuild again for our next project. If you’re looking for a reliable, top-notch team for your home renovations, I highly recommend them!

HomeBuild did an amazing job with our deck/screened-in porch addition. The space turned out so much better than we imagined. The owners and workers are very detail-oriented, and their work is of the highest quality. They were great with changes/upgrades during the process, both implementing our and suggesting improvements as well. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you need general contracting work done.

Raphael, Frank, and their team were great to work with. They remodeled our master bathroom and we couldn't be happier with the end result. They were extremely curtious, professional, and responsive. They showed up when expected and I had no issue stepping out and leaving them in my house. I highly recommend them for any home project. I would add pictures if I could to emphasize their excellent work!

We had a great experience working with Rafael and Frank. Our project was relatively modest (roof overhang modification), but they treated it like a much larger project with a lot of focus and attention. They identified an additional roof issue and were able to add that onto the project and quickly address it. The gutter sub-contractor had some issues, but Rafael stayed on top of it until it was right. I think the best compliment I can provide is that I will absolutely hire them again when we have another project. Once you find a good contractor, it’s like finding gold.

Professional, on time, on schedule, great work, communicated throughout the whole process. Very efficient. Definitely going to call these guys again!

Frank and his team replaced my existing gutters, down sprouts, installed gutter guards, moved drainage from the down spouts to 15 - 20 feet away form the house and installed 20mm vapor barrier in our crawl space. They completed everything on time and to our satisfaction. Frank and his team were awesome, very happy and will hire them for any additional projects.

We had HomeBuild remove our old porch and replace it with new Trex. The new porch looks amazing and is so much more solid than the old one. They completed the porch as promised and I would gladly use them again.

Rafael and his HomeBuild team did a wonderful job on our bathroom. They remodeled it completely and were able to finish the job in less than the projected time frame. Rafael provided valuable advice at every stage of the project and we truly felt that he and his team cared that the job was done exceptionally and that we were happy throughout the project and at the end. Rafael made sure we had the best materials for a competitive price. Thank you for a great experience HomeBuild!

Homebuild are the most professional contractors that I've ever worked with. They put a new roof on my home as well as many other custom projects throughout the house. They work fast and efficiently. I was beyond impressed with the results and will continue to use them for any future projects and would absolutely recommend them for any of your home needs.

We recently hired HomeBuild to build a screened porch, and they exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship is outstanding, with every detail carefully done. HomeBuild team was professional, reliable, and kept us informed throughout the project. They stayed on schedule, respected our space, and offered great value with transparent pricing. Our new porch has transformed our outdoor space, and we’re thrilled with the results. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their home!

Rafael and his team did a tremendous job with the doors at the entrance of our church. The were old and had some broken trim and rotted wood. Homebuild team was very agreeable to working outside the hours of church mass. They covered everything up so no paint would roll over to other parts of the entrance. They were efficient but extremely high quality. Many parishioners have voice their gratitude for the beautiful looking doors that they managed to complete quickly. We will use Homebuild for several future projects...

Home Build has been the most professional contractor I have worked with in 30 years. They are honest and their fees are very competitive and fair. They built an amazing deck, fixed a leak in our roof and restored our crawl space. Flawless!

Recently used HomeBuild to replace some siding and a damaged window. I was immediately impressed by how responsive they are. Raphael was very professional and listened throughout the process. I made a few changes to the overall scope during the process without any issues. The work was completed very quickly and only delayed slightly due to the custom window needing to be manufactured and delivered. I am confident that Raphael and his team could build or fix anything home related at a competitive price and within the timeframe given or faster.

I recently had the pleasure of working with HomeBuild on two major home renovation projects this year and I could not be more pleased. Although I met with and considered several other top-rated construction companies, it was clear that HomeBuild was the right choice. HomeBuild Co-owners: Rafael and Frank are extremely personable, knowledgeable and successfully manage an experienced team of construction professionals dedicated to quality and client satisfaction. HomeBuild’s approach was very thorough and organized from start to finish. They provided a very detailed scope of work at reasonable cost on a realistic timeline and were on-site nearly every day ensuring that the projects were completed as planned. Craftsmanship and attention to detail were of the highest quality, which truly shows in the end results. The completion of both projects exceeded all my expectations. HomeBuild is a very transparent company built on open communication, honesty and integrity. I highly recommend them for any construction or renovation needs.

I cannot praise Rafael and his team enough! HIGHLY responsive , very friendly , great team of guys working hard and swiftly to please the client. I was introduced to home build through my realtor for the home inspection , and I was so impressed that I hired them to complete the majority of the work I needed doing. I would not hesitate to use them again. They cover all sorts of work so just ask them. Always on time , very communicative! And tidy! I will 100% use them again . The work they did for me was : Attic work Locks Hanging doors Electrics Gas Fixing thresholds Kitchen work . You name it - they have it covered! Rafael had a great team behind him to ensure work is fast , and his pricing is very fair too!

Rafael, Frank and their team did an outstanding job on renovating our bathroom. Communication was outstanding. We knew what was happening and when. The price was very fair for the work delivered. Every one on their team did beautiful quality work. We would definitely use them again for any and all home improvements. Highly recommend

We used Homebuild NC for our basement remodell with a wet bar addition. Rafael and team surpassed our expectations. From start to finish we were very impressed with the Homebuild crew (plumbers, electricians, painters, flooring). Rafael was transparent and responsive throughout the project. He planned ahead, kept us updated and was always available to problem solve to keep the project moving. We highly recommend Homebuild for any construction/remodeling work!

Deciding to choose HomeBuild for our home improvement needs was one of the best choices we’ve ever made! Rafael Lopez and Frank Marques couldn’t have been any more professional with how they handled all of our construction needs. The decision to go with this all inclusive company brought us great peace of mind. All facets of the project were initiated and completed on time and within the budget. The plan or “scope” for the project was laid out, in writing, from the beginning of the project to the end. Our estimate was given to us within 48 hours of our initial meeting. You cannot put a price on piece of mind. By having the assurances from both men that everything would be handed by them from beginning to end was one of the best parts of getting to know Rafael and Frank as they guided their team from start to finish. We have already recommended HomeBuild to friends and family for their home improvement needs and will use them again in the future. Thank you Rafael and Frank and thank you HomeBuild!! Anthony & Joelle Scalese

This was, hands down, the best contractor with whom I ever worked and I’ve worked with around 10-15 contractors over the years. HomeBuild was responsive, professional, and did excellent work. They were able to do anything that I requested. They charged fairly and followed up with me after the work was completed to make sure that I was happy with the job. I could not be more pleased. I recommend them wholeheartedly. I look forward to working with them again. Thank you, Rafael, for the excellent work that you and you crew did for me.

Frank and his crew did an excellent job on my project. Frank was involved from the start and remained involved with his crew until complete. The men performing the work could not have been more pleasant to deal with, friendly and more than willing to answer questions and explain processes. I particularly liked that Frank did not simply send a crew with instructions. He came to the house the first day and showed the crew the extent of the project and explained how he wanted it done. Frank provided complete before and after pictures for me. Frank stayed in contact with me and did exactly as he committed.

I am writing to express my gratitude and satisfaction with the recent general contracting project you completed at my mom’s house. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to quality that truly impressed us. Communication was clear and consistent, and any concerns we had were addressed promptly. The project was completed on time and within budget, which was greatly appreciated. The attention to detail and craftsmanship in the work exceeded our expectations. It’s clear that HomeBuild values excellence and takes pride in delivering top-notch results. Thank you for making this project a smooth and positive experience. We are thrilled with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend HomeBuild to others.

Rafael, Frank, and team did a great job. The remodel entailed most of our house and Rafael did an amazing job of coordinating all the different teams and materials. Rafael was easy to work with, on time, and transparent about costs. He worked to stay on budget & would offer suggestions to achieve the look we wanted while considering the cost. Extremely happy with the finished project!

I would recommend using HomeBuild. Their work is quality and were able to provide good solutions to any issues that arose during construction.

We had a great experience with HomeBuild. From the start to the finish of our master bathroom remodel, they were communicative, professional, and hard working. Rafael checked in with us throughout the project to ensure we were happy with the work, and addressed any concerns we had completely. Our bathroom is gorgeous! I highly recommend working with them.

As a Realtor, all things related to my home are very important to me and this includes the professionals that I hire to perform work to maintain or improve it. After months of planning, we decided to remove an old deck and replace it with a larger and sturdier screened porch. HomeBuild was selected after meeting with contractors that were referred by my colleagues. The bid for the job was competitive, the scope of work was very detailed, the materials used in the construction was superior and the process was laid out with a seamless plan. HomeBuild was accommodating to modifying and tweaking the plans along the way, it was often said, “Whatever you want, we can do it.” The crew showed up on time and kept to their schedule and worked through bad weather that would have shut down other construction teams. We could not be happier with the work and the outcome of our new screened porch. I highly recommend HomeBuild for your home improvement and repair needs. Charles Christiansen

Good attitudes. Great job with reasonable price. Willing to communicate and meeting the needs. Responsible and professional. Finished the work quickly once got the materials.

Rafael, Frank and the team at HomeBuild did an excellent job on replacing a section of damaged siding on our home. Rafael was very thorough in his initial review of what needed to be done and providing an estimate. They were prompt in getting us on their schedule and securing the materials. The team was punctual each day and very professional. Rafael and Frank kept us informed throughout the project and answered all of our questions. We were very pleased with the finished project!

We needed to add an exterior door in our garage. These guys came in and knocked it out with amazing quality. Service and communication was awesome! Highly recommend them and we will be using them again for several projects!

Rafael and his team were amazing. They were efficient, professional, and always there to answer any questions I had. I even did a large change order and they were more than gracious enough to accommodate. I will absolutely refer anyone I know needing their services, and will be using them for all my future needs.

I met Frank back in February after my rental property had an extensive fire damage (the house was totaled, only the framing and roof was left). He was recommended by a friend who had a lot of great things to say about him (as a devout Christian and as an general contractor). I immediately noticed that he was one step above the competition! He proposed a few small modifications that completed refreshed the look a boring semi-open kitchen to a beautiful high-end open concept floor plan. I then met Rafael a few days after to discuss the overall scope so he could start working on the estimate. He was very polite and professional, but the thing that was remarkable is how detail-oriented he was. Their scope of work and estimate was not the least expensive I received, but certainly the most comprehensive and well structured by far. As most things in life, you get what you pay for….and after seeing the end result (not to mention the peace of mind and being stress-free for the duration of the project) I believe that I got a great deal! The project was divided in 15 weeks and payments were scheduled accordingly. It was great to see every Friday how the money that was paid the previous week had been spent. The difference in the progress from one week to the next was impressive and encouraging. Construction was never at a standstill. Moreover, even though there was a lot of work and traffic around the area, the landscaping was left intact. They did not cut corners! That was one of the main reasons I chose HomeBuild. The project ended on time and within budget. My wife and I could not be happier!

Frank, Rafael and the team did an awesome job on our new deck. Top quality craftsmanship and materials, they are the best!

Rafael and his team were prompt to respond and more prompt to arrive and finish the job in one day. My kitchen pantry cabinet has a completely new look now with super neat shelving. I'd strongly recommend them for any carpenter needs.

Rafael and the HomeBuild crew were amazing! I highly recommend them for all your future projects. They were professional and courteous from start to finish. They worked hard to complete the project on time and within the budget, and they even accommodated multiple requests for additional scopes of work. I will be using them again for future projects and I recommend that you do the same. Their work is incredible, and my house has never looked so good.

Rafael is the absolute best! Right from the very beginning of the addition to our home we knew everything to expect. He’s organized, communicative, honest and does great work! Always responds to texts and phone calls. He never gets upset about issues out of his control (Duke Power) he just deals with it. The project was finished on time, within budget and with as little disturbance to our everyday life as possible. We’ve NEVER worked with a contractor that was on site nearly every day! No disappearing for days weeks at a time, imagine that!? If there was something done by a sub that we weren’t satisfied with he either had them come back and fix it or jumped in himself and fixed it. We would highly recommend Rafael to anyone looking for a high quality, pain free construction project. We’re going to miss seeing him he’s become part of the family

We hired Homebuild to do a renovation for us, after looking so hard for a good reliable company. Rafael is running a tight ship. He is very organized and reasonable , keeps his quoted price and does great quality work. We would highly recommend Homebuild.

I’m very thankful for the job done at my home , I’ll definitely recommended to the people I know. Great job !

HomeBuild did an outstanding renovation for me, the owner Rafael is very responsive and always comunicates everything with transparency. They are proffesional and with a high quality standards, the proccess working with HomeBuild was smooth and they kept is at easy always. We would recommend HomeBuild, Rafael and his team to our friends and family.

Rafael did an amazing job renovating our home. His attention to detail and ability to communicate anytime a problem arose was well received. He routinely communicated with the other crews to ensure everything went smoothly. He is thorough and dependable. His rate was fair and reasonable and given the work he did, he exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be utilizing him with our future projects.

When we decided to renovate our house we diligently reviewed contractors on various sites to ensure we found someone reliable and excellent. We reviewed and obtained quotes from 15 different companies. There was a tremendous variability in the sense of reliability, price and trustworthiness of the people we met. Rafael at HomeBuild was second to none in terms of his honestly and candour. His transparent model of pricing and the fact that we met every Friday morning to walk through the project before proceeding with next steps in the work gave us a sense of confidence and transparency. In an otherwise unregulated market where you are scarcely able to verify any work done or what you are being told, finding someone like Rafael is priceless. Our full gut job on our main floor was followed up the next year with the same on our second floor and we evidently chose him again. The quality of his finishes is impeccable and his workmanship was excellent. He was also on site himself everyday and finished the project 2 weeks early which is unheard of. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to our closest friends and family and could not be happier to have worked with him.

HomeBuild did an amazing job of fully gutting, and renovating our old semi-detached house. I like to consider myself a very organized person, but Rafael and his team were somehow (!!!) more organized than me throughout the whole process. What I appreciated was a walk through inspection every Friday of the progress being made, issues that came up and more. Their expertise made this massive investment for us so easy, and worthwhile. Rafael is an expert at what he does. I trusted everything he did in the entire process. From the first meeting and his proposal (which was so detailed!!!) to the final walk through - he clearly put his heart and expertise into our home. He worked with our engineer (as we had structural issues that needed fixing) to ensure the scope of that part of our reno was going to be properly approved by the City. He kept US on schedule by providing floor samples, paint samples, counter samples, whatever we needed (and gave us a deadline to choose ha). He picked up appliances we ordered, our bathtub and more. He sent us pictures of the progress, kept us involved. He went out of his way to make this renovation a really great experience. Oh, and he did it on time, and on budget........ A year in we had a minor electrical issue in the basement (which wasn't a part of his reno). He had the electrician who worked on our renovation at our house within only a few hours. He stands by his work. I hope to work with HomeBuild again (maybe it's time to do our basement, put on a mud room....). He will be my only call in the future. Marissa

I hired Rafael with HomeBuild for a bathroom restoration project that included subfloor, floor, plumbing, and tile work. Rafael was very professional, reliable, and a skilled craftsman, who made invaluable suggestions and took tremendous pride in providing a quality result. I will hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a general contractor. Wayne Raleigh

We’ve now done several remodeling projects with Home Build. Their estimates of work, and project management skills are top notch. The design work they do is excellent. They’re super flexible and work with you to get things just the way you like for as close to your budget as is possible.

Rafael did a small job for me fixing the mistake of another contractor. He did an excellent job, above and beyond what I expected. I wish I had hired him to do the entire project. He has high standards for his work and I would confidently recommend him to anyone.

I was very lucky to find home build to work on my home.It completely transformed my living space. I worked directly with the owner Raphael, He is a true professional ,completely dedicated to his craft. He was great providing ideas and insight to our project . If you are looking for a contractor to renovate your home stop Looking and hire homebuild right away you wont regret it. Highly recomend this company Thank you
