"Joe Everette is the absolute best in the business. He is a master at keeping on time and on budget, while providing top quality work and materials. He does not cut corners, he is particular with every detail. We honestly have no complaints at all. We are so happy with our new home which is in the last week or so of construction. We give him 100% + grade AA for an awesome job. No matter how many times we bug him he never acts irritated or like he does not have time for us. If you want top quality, he's your guy!"

"Loay Jabbar provided the information I needed quickly and clearly. I immediately signed up for full coverages for our two homes because of the discounts offered and because of the quality of service that Loay is saying and promising Choice Home Warranty provides to its customers. I have bad experiences with other home warranty companies so I am hoping I found the best company that would deliver the best service."

"service provider sent by American Home Shield was excellent. The only issue I have with home warranty services is that they do not send their repair companies out on the week-end, even in an emergency. The customer service personnel is less than enthusiastic or helpful."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

Start by documenting visible issues like cracks or settling with photos before local inspections. Clear vegetation and debris from your foundation perimeter, as Morganton experiences frequent rainfall. Clean your gutters before the rainy season to prevent water intrusion. Always avoid grading the soil yourself. Expansive clay soils require professional assessment to prevent worsening drainage problems during home building.

Helpful?

Homeowners favor Craftsman and farmhouse exteriors featuring large covered porches to enjoy the mountain views. Inside, open floor plans, dedicated mudrooms, and main-floor primary suites are highly sought after. Because Morganton experiences high humidity, sealed crawl spaces and high-efficiency HVAC systems are standard for home building. Standing seam metal roofing also provides excellent durability against heavy rain and hail.

Helpful?

High humidity and frequent rainfall directly impact home building timelines. Spring rain saturates the soil, delaying foundation pours, while summer humidity slows concrete and paint drying times. Fall offers the best weather for framing. Because NC falls in a mixed-humid climate zone, builders must install proper vapor barriers and wind-resistant framing connections to protect your property from severe weather.

Helpful?

Choosing a rural lot offers acreage and beautiful views but requires installing private well and septic systems rather than connecting to municipal utilities. Opting for a traditional crawl space suits the sloped terrain of Morganton but demands strict moisture encapsulation. You must also weigh the immediate investment of high-efficiency insulation against long-term energy savings during your home building planning.

Helpful?

Inspectors closely evaluate your foundation footings, site drainage, and framing structural connections. During a home building project, professionals assess rough-in plumbing, electrical panels, and HVAC duct placement. Insulation and air sealing undergo strict blower door testing to meet NC energy codes. Evaluators also scrutinize crawl space encapsulation and verify that your lot grading directs water away from the foundation safely.
