"Everything went great and the end result was absolutely fantastic. Our house and decks and porches look as good or better than they did when it was new 18 years ago. Every aspect of the experience was perfect. John Prater was professional, right on time from estimate to completion, which was right on schedule."

"Hargrove's did a good job of removing and replacing the roofing on my home. They arrived at the scheduled time and were completed in 2 days. They were not as organized at the start as I would have liked, ie not enough tarps to protect Heating and Air units and to control trash, but were efficient and steady so the work went well.  Overall, I was satisfied with the job and would use Hargrove's again for any home improvements. The crew was pleasant to deal with and worked hard to make the job go smooth.

"In September of this year my wife and I bought a home near Cedar Mountain. We had
a few things that we wanted to get done to the house before we moved in. From
Florida we researched contractors as well as through friends in our new
community. I was not prepared for the casual attitude of many of the workmen I
spoke with. Out of all of them, there was only one who showed up and did the
work as promised, Mr. Wade Morris. Despite having to drive and extraordinarily
long way to our home, Wade arrived every morning at 8:30 until the job was
done. I had to return to Florida but I left Wade a key to finish up. When I got
back to NC I was pleased to find the house clean and the work done to a high
standard of professionalism. Little extras, like painting the bedroom
baseboards (which was not part of our agreement) made me appreciate Wade and
Gaye all the more.

"

We called them and asked them to build a custom deck.  He came out and started our deck immediately and added benches and different levels.  He took our design and added to it and made our dream deck better that we could have imagined.

The price was better than we thought it would be.

It was a great experience and we highly recommend them if your looking for a great design and great prices.



Sincerely


The McKinneys

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Homeowners frequently underestimate the extensive site preparation required for mountain terrain in Murphy, including grading and rock removal. Extending utilities to remote parcels and installing alternative septic systems add significant complexity to home building. Furthermore, you must account for seasonal weather delays from winter freezes and summer thunderstorms, along with strict energy code requirements based on the high local elevation.

Helpful?

Expect a home building timeline of ten to eighteen months from permit application to occupancy in Murphy. Permitting takes four to eight weeks, while site preparation on mountain terrain requires two to six weeks. Laying the foundation takes two to four weeks, followed by eight to sixteen weeks for framing and mechanical rough-ins. Complex site conditions and subcontractor availability directly impact this schedule.

Helpful?

Start by assessing the topography and slope of your Murphy property, as steep lots directly dictate your foundation type. Check the soil composition, since rocky terrain and clay soils impact drainage and excavation. You must also verify flood zone status, utility access, and septic suitability. These factors determine if the lot is buildable and shape your overall home building plan.

Helpful?

The current state of your land dictates essential site preparation steps during home building. Heavily wooded parcels in North Carolina require extensive clearing and erosion control permits. Visible rock outcroppings indicate shallow bedrock, requiring intensive excavation or blasting for foundations. You must also assess existing drainage patterns, steep driveway access, and older septic systems to ensure a safe and stable construction process.

Helpful?

Always verify your contractor holds an active state license before starting your home building project. Look for professionals with extensive experience handling mountain construction and sloped lots in NC. A dedicated local builder maintains strong subcontractor networks and understands county permitting requirements, preventing unnecessary project delays. Ask for references from similar mountain builds and confirm their current availability and start dates.
