"Bill and Billy were very professional and efficient with the projects I had at my home. They built me and 2 car garage and deck off the back of my house. Pricing was very fair and the quality of their work was top notch. They're family owned and operated. I highly recommend them as a general contractor and builder for any home projects."

Substandard work by BTR Construction! Painters made a mess and needed them to come back a second and third time to clean up and redo areas that didn't cover well the first time. Additionally, the floors they had painted all came undone one month into the pool season. When I called to ask about a warranty on the work I got handed from one person to another. When asked why no one would call me back I was repeatedly given an excuse of "there has been turnover in the company". When I finally did get in touch with the owner, he came out, looked at the work and said he'd get back with me. It's been two months and I've heard nothing from them. I called every other day but no one cares to call back.

At this point, I've accepted that I will not get BTR to come back and help resolve the issue. I'd be cautious of using this company. They get an D in my book for their overall work and ensuring customer satisfaction!

"JT Harris exhibited excellence from start to finish. Mr. Sean Farrer provided a construction schedule which gave a through detailed description of each stage of the project. I was most impressed with the way JT Harris meant each deadline. In addition, the end product was impeccable.. Because of the professionalism displayed, my organization has recently hired JT Harris again to build two more homes in Greenville, NC."

"Except for numerous meetings with Chuck and/or his manager regarding details, the total experience was a plus... from providing estimate to job completion.  We had two bathrooms totally remodeled (one at a time) which took about 3 weeks.  Hallways and adjacent rooms were well protected from dust and debris by Rick and his team as they worked, and complete cleanup was provided at the end of each day... nothing left behind except in the room in which they were working.  My wife and I felt comfortable leaving our home each day to conduct various activities.   Excellent finished project!

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

Homeowners frequently underestimate septic system limitations during home building. Adding square footage requires a septic upgrade, and soil evaluations take significant time. You must also account for lengthy permit reviews and strict homeowners association architectural approvals. In Denver, heavy clay soils demand specialized foundation designs. Finally, quality local contractors book out several months in advance, so start your hiring process early to avoid delays.

Helpful?

Start your initial home building preparations by addressing moisture control. North Carolina experiences high humidity, making crawl space encapsulation a top priority to prevent mold and wood rot. Next, assess your cooling system before the hot summer months arrive. You should also evaluate your property's grading to direct water away from the foundation. Finally, schedule a termite inspection and establish a pest treatment plan immediately.

Helpful?

Always verify state licenses before hiring professionals for home building. North Carolina mandates specific credentials for general contractors, electricians, and plumbers. Request proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance before any work begins. Because the Denver area experiences rapid growth, local professionals book up months in advance. Hire established regional experts rather than out-of-town workers, and ensure your contractor pulls all required permits.

Helpful?

Schedule exterior home building during the moderate spring or fall months. In Denver, you must book professionals by February for spring projects. Watch for climate warning signs, like soft subfloors after humid summers or roof damage following winter ice storms. Additionally, many local houses built in the late nineties now require major system replacements, including new roofs, water heaters, and updated deck supports.

Helpful?

Before starting home building, verify your local permit requirements. Since Denver is an unincorporated community, county offices handle all building, septic, and well approvals. You must secure septic site evaluations before applying for structural permits. Additionally, check your neighborhood for active homeowners association restrictions, which operate on separate timelines. Finally, confirm if your property sits in a flood zone, as this requires special elevation certificates.
