"Owner Junior Green was a friendly, honest fellow who was reliable, worked hard, did a very good job, and left the site clean. My job was painstaking in places and access was a bit tricky, but no problem for Junior. He mostly worked alone and cut no corners. He started with the foundation and outside of masonry wall, which looked great. We then ran into weather problems and my dissatisfaction with colors chosen from misleading Sherwin Williams color samples, which put him behind schedule and I had to suspend the project due to going out of town. I could have switched painters then but did not. When he returned he worked steadily and finished my project in less than the expected time. I am very pleased with the outcome. My only gripe is that he does not have an account with Lowe's, where I preferred to buy because they sell in small cans to try out different colors. He says he does not like their paint but they carry Cabot and Valspar so I don't get it. I now own several cans of unused stain and did not get a painter's discount on all materials. Also, he is not cheap. Still, I recommend Clean Hands and will be a return customer."

"I highly recommend C&D Custom Log Finishing for any repairs you should need for log home repairs-inside or outside. Our home is not your traditional manufactured log home. It was built in 1980 with 250 year old hand hewed logs. I have used C&D Custom Log Finishing for over 10 years now for anything and everything I need. Some logs have had to be replaced in that period of time and Clarence has someone that personally hand hewed the replacement logs and they look just like the original logs. He keeps you informed during the entire process and is always available for whatever comes up. Also, we have developed a great friendship through the years. So if you’re looking for someone for log home repairs do yourself a favor and call Clarence and his crew. You will not be disappointed!!!"

"The before and after of my bathroom is night and day. Almost nearly complete but already a huge difference in home quility and comfort. Was priced in a range I could afford and even fixed other problems that weren't seen prior without bleeding my wallet, so I'm pretty happy."

"While they did a great job with the remodel of our previous home, they did a superb job with our new home.  We are very picky and wanted some very custom features like custom made cabinetry, travertine tile, huge outdoor living space, and many other features. Ray Hubbard worked with us for nearly 6 months getting all the finishes just the way we wanted them, and spent endless hours I am sure with all the numbers.
Our beautiful home will be where we retire and we could not be more happy about it.  A few minor mistakes were made along the way, but considering a project of this size it was very understandable.  We informed Ray of the few items we thought were mistakes and he quickly handled the problem and did so to our satisfaction.    I would like to say we would use him again, but he all ready gave us our dream home.  All joking aside, of course we would call on Ray and Legacy if we ever need a great contractor.

Custom Home Builders FAQs, answered by experts

The current property conditions directly dictate your home building approach. In King, rolling terrain and expansive red clay soils require specific foundation types, retaining walls, and strict stormwater management plans. Evaluate existing structures for unpermitted work, as local codes mandate bringing altered systems up to current standards. Check your flood zone status near local rivers, as building in these areas requires special elevation certificates and flood-resistant construction.

Helpful?

When planning home building, you must account for local zoning rules like minimum setbacks and lot coverage limits. These restrict how far a structure extends toward property lines. We recommend engineering first-floor walls and foundations to handle future second-story loads, following NC building codes. Install electrical and plumbing rough-ins during the initial construction phase. This prevents extensive retrofits and ensures your septic system handles additional bedrooms safely.

Helpful?

Start your home building by addressing water management. King receives heavy rainfall, so prioritize proper grading, gutters, and crawl space encapsulation to prevent moisture damage. Next, inspect the foundation, as local expansive clay soils cause structural movement. You should also verify your HVAC system size handles the extreme summer humidity and winter cold. Finally, review your property permit history and confirm your septic or sewer connection status.

Helpful?

High summer humidity in North Carolina demands strict moisture management and continuous air barriers during home building. Winter temperatures drop below freezing, requiring builders to pour concrete carefully and extend footings below the twelve-inch frost depth. You must also account for severe weather. Install proper roof-to-wall connections for high winds and apply ice shields to protect the roof from winter storms. Plan exterior work for spring or fall.

Helpful?

Functional home building involves structural, electrical, or plumbing systems. These projects require permits, licensed professionals, and strict adherence to King building codes. Unpermitted functional changes create serious resale issues. Cosmetic updates, like interior painting or flooring, do not require permits and proceed year-round regardless of weather. Always check your neighborhood rules, as associations strictly regulate exterior cosmetic changes alongside city structural requirements.
