"Hal, the proprietor of Sanderling Construction, is everything you want in a contractor but don’t often find. He’s honest, kind, knowledgeable, communicative, fair, and trustworthy. Even with his decades of experience, he has a youthful energy. His crew is hardworking, respectful, and incredibly skilled. Over all a wonderful experience, which sadly isn’t always the case with renovations and finding dependable experts. Very happy to have found Hal."

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"We initially called Mr Hargrove in August for an estimate on painting of the exterior trim, gutters, and around windows and doors, etc. on our two story brick house.  We were very impressed with his punctual call return and his punctual arrival for an estimate.  We needed the house pressure washed and scraped all around as the house had been neglected by the previous owners and needed serious work.  We liked his plan and his estimate and we decided on the spot to hire him and his company as there were many other things that were also going to be needed and we thought "this was our guy for anything that we need"  His crew showed up on the date and time specified and went to work immediately washing and scraping the exterior of the house.  They also had to remove all the storm windows for proper scraping and painting.  It was pretty hot, but his guys showed up every day and did a fantastic job.  We were and still are VERY impressed with the job they did and would hire them again in a minute!  During one particular nasty rain storm we noticed a serious leak in a couple of rooms and told James about it and he went right up on the roof and found where it had leaked and within the next few days, he had put on a new roof on that part of the house and it has not leaked since!  And the new shutters they installed look great!!  We have also had two of our neighbors stop by commenting on how good our house looks and wanted to know who did it and we happily gave them his number!  We are new to this area and we feel very fortunate to have found James Hargrove and his home improvement company and definitely plan on using them again!!

"Kent and his crew did a good job for us. Kent is very knowledgeable and makes sure the work that is done is of excellent quality. They replaced interior and exterior doors, all windows, wood siding and installed PVC trim. They also installed LVP throughout the home, painted almost the entire interior and exterior of the house. They also did complete bathroom remodeling, including building a new tiled stand-up shower with a built-in niche and bench. In addition, Kent's team installed an entirely new kitchen including appliances. They also did pressure washing of the deck and replaced some fence boards around the pool. All of the work they did was good quality, I would recommend Kent and his crew for any projects that you would like to have done."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Check your property's flood zone and coastal management status before starting home building. In Kill Devil Hills, strict setback requirements and piling foundations heavily restrict enclosed spaces below the base flood elevation. You must also account for sandy, unstable soil and high-wind structural load standards. Consult a local professional to inspect your existing foundation and determine if your layout requires structural reinforcement to meet current codes.

Helpful?

Install temporary fencing around open piling areas, stairwells, and construction zones to protect your family during home building. Secure all materials daily to prevent dangerous wind-borne debris common in NC coastal environments. Ensure all new decks feature code-compliant guardrails with tightly spaced balusters to prevent falls. Mark your septic system clearly to avoid damage, and plan temporary relocation if the work disturbs harmful dust or mold inside older structures.

Helpful?

Retain your certificate of occupancy, original building permits, and all inspection sign-off sheets permanently after completing home building. For properties in NC, you must keep any coastal permit documentation and updated flood elevation certificates. Also, file updated surveys, plot plans, and insurance endorsements with your property records. These documents prove your structure meets local codes and remain essential for future real estate transactions, insurance claims, or additional property improvements.

Helpful?

Upgrading your property through home building provides immediate storm resilience against harsh weather and reduces flood insurance premiums. In Kill Devil Hills, adding bedrooms or outdoor living spaces directly increases vacation rental income potential. Long-term benefits include higher property value appreciation, reduced maintenance needs, and stronger insurance continuity. Modernizing your structure to meet current coastal codes ensures your property remains safe, valuable, and fully compliant for years to come.

Helpful?

Verify your flood zone status and coastal jurisdiction requirements before planning home building. Schedule a pre-application meeting with local officials to confirm if your project triggers substantial improvement rules requiring full flood compliance. Review underground utility easements, septic system locations, and neighborhood deed restrictions. Finally, submit a complete permit application with structural plans that meet high-wind standards for Kill Devil Hills to ensure a smooth, fully compliant construction process.
