"My home was heavily damaged by a tree that fell on my house during Helene. I was so fortunate to find Jesse at my neighbors home. He and his team have rebuilt a good portion of my home and do quality work from drywall to framing and more. Jesse and Brian keep in constant communication and handle the insurance stuff as well. Can’t say enough good things about Summerlin Builders. Highly recommend."

"David is great. He explained everything to me and made sure I understood the variables and impacts during each decision. He installed a bathroom in my basement where there hadn't been one before. The final product looked like it had always been there -- it "belonged" in my house -- and increased to usability of our lower level, allowing us to rent part of it out. I had him come back and do the backsplash in my kitchen. Again -- flawless work with reasonable pricing and helpful communication. Thanks, David!"

"Preston of G-1 Plumbing performed the services and addressed the toilet & drain problem. He was unable to stop leak(made it worse) & submitted his recs to Choice Home for review. I was unable to understand Choice Home's response regarding the faucet leak. Their review stated faucet needed to be replaced BUT it was under "builder's warranty." I built this home in 2005. There is no "builder's warranty" now. I cancelled the proposed work order & paid out-of-pocket. A Friend, who was familiar with my builder and knows faucet components, came to my home, adjusted/cleaned the faucet cartridge and stopped the leak. The CHW tech, Preston, is conscientiuos, however, IMHO lacked the knowledge & experience to stop my leak. Home Warranty Companies, at least in my area, hire owner/operators who need the work to build their business and are NOT the most experienced/knowledgeable & are willing to work for less money. In my experience, Home Warranty Companies want the CHEAPEST resolution, not the BEST. I would recommend G-1 Plumbing for most plumbing issues."

"Mark was very helpful, and his brother had great creative ideas with how to build my free standing screen room/gazebo. They both worked very hard, and fit me into their schedule between other work so the project could be done in time for my family visit. Not only that, but they had a reasonable price, and put up with my requests. The job was done well beyond my expectations, especially considering the fact they worked on a holiday and finished it 4 days before promised. I am very pleased and will be calling them if my future needs require the services they offer. Thanks!"

Home Building questions, answered by experts

After completing home building, you should permanently retain all local building permits, inspection sign-off cards, and your Certificate of Occupancy. These documents prove your project meets safety standards. You must also keep all local health department approvals for septic systems and well construction records. Since local archives in Columbus contain gaps, maintaining your own complete set of records ensures you are prepared for future property sales or insurance claims.

Helpful?

Assess your property's septic system capacity first, as this dictates any expansion limits for home building. You must verify your local zoning designations, deed restrictions, and flood zone status. Inspect the existing structure for crawl space moisture damage or foundation issues caused by the expansive clay soils found throughout NC. Finally, confirm your electrical service and private well yield can support the additional demands of your new project.

Helpful?

Homeowners underestimate the time required for septic system evaluations and rural utility extensions. The clay-heavy soils and sloped terrain in Columbus demand engineered foundation designs and complex drainage systems. Winter ice storms and summer thunderstorms cause significant construction delays. You must account for these regional weather patterns and the limited pool of available local professionals when setting your schedule for home building.

Helpful?

New home building in Columbus requires eighteen to thirty months from initial design through final inspections. Permitting and septic evaluations take multiple weeks, while the construction phase lasts eight to fourteen months. Winter ice events and limited material delivery access add significant time to this schedule. You must also factor in wait times of several months to secure available local professionals before the work even begins.

Helpful?

A complete permit record with a final Certificate of Occupancy is the clearest indicator of proper home building. High-quality work in NC also features climate-appropriate weatherproofing, including well-sealed penetrations and proper flashing. You should look for foundation footings dug at least eighteen inches below grade to handle the freeze-thaw cycle. Excellent foundation drainage and properly sized septic systems further demonstrate that the work meets all local safety standards.
