"I had a VERY high end master bath put in and his tile work was amazing. He also did a great job on our floors (both carpet, and LVP) and a perfect job on our kitchen. Would use him again if he moves to FL"

"Excellent experience with E&M General Landscaping. Elebi, owner, was professional, reliable and a man of his word. I had a previous experience with having steps built incorrectly and called this company to demolish the old steps and rebuild new steps. The work was beyond superior by E&M and the customer service was even better. We recently hosted two outdoor events at our home and many guests complimented the beautiful steps! I would definitely recommend this company and definitely will use them again. Thank you, Mr. Elebi! Lewis G."

We can build any custom home, we can build an addition as simple as adding a new bedroom suite to adding an entire second floor, we can remodel your entire home, your kitchen, your bathroom, finish your basement, and make structural modifications. If you can dream it we can build it. We can build from your plans, or we can do both the design and construction. We offer both residential and commercial construction services as a licensed general contractor. For residential customers we offer an array of services for almost any project. We offer competitive pricing and exceptional quality and customer service. Because we have our own crews to perform much of the work, we have much better control over costs and quality that the competitors simply can’t provide. We also have an entire division dedicated to decks and exterior renovations. We will come to your home or business and provide you with suggestions and an estimate at no cost to you.

"I can't say enough about the excellent work that Carolina Contracting did completely demoing an existing wood deck and constructing a new TimberTech deck. The project was challenging. The deck is sixteen feet off the ground with +20 stairs and extensive lighting. It was done on budget and on time. Scott Dean and his team worked hard every day on the project from early morning to dusk. They are true craftsmen. Communication was exemplary throughout the 3-4 week project."

Obsidian Homes was established with a clear mission: to refocus the residential homebuilding industry on the core principles that truly matter—Affordability, Craftsmanship, Honesty, and Quality. We believe that these four pillars should be the foundation of every home, rather than simply prioritizing profits.

FAQs for custom home building projects in Lowell, NC

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
