Frequently asked questions
Builder questions, answered
Real answers from a local Nags Head builder crew — no fluff, no upsell.
Do you build elevated, storm-rated homes?
Yes — on pilings in V and AE zones, engineered for wind uplift, fully permitted through CAMA and the flood ordinance.
How long does a custom home take?
Plan a year-plus; permitting and supply lead times are real. If you want it for next summer we start the year before.
Can you add a second story or raise my home?
Often yes — engineered for the wind uplift and the existing foundation. Raising a low living area is a real solution we do.
Do you handle storm rebuilds and insurance?
Yes — damage assessment, insurance scope, and rebuild to current code, including raising flooded homes.
What areas do you build in?
Nags Head, Kitty Hawk, Duck, Corolla, and the surrounding northern Outer Banks.
Are you insured and warrantied?
Ask for the insurance and warranty paperwork with the quote — both come in writing before any work is scheduled. We don’t disappear after the final draw.
