Harding Custom Homes exceeded our expectations at every step

As a project manager for a general contractor in the commercial construction sector, I’ve had the opportunity to interview hundreds of subcontractors throughout my professional career. That experience has given me a clear understanding of what to look for in a quality builder. I scoped home builders in the same fashion that I would subcontractors at work. It was obvious that John Harding was the right choice for our forever home. Throughout the preconstruction process, he was patient,...

Ready to Hire a Custom Home Builder? Review our Helpful FAQ’s

1. How long does it take to build a custom home?

The time is determined off several factors. The main one of course is the size of the house. Other factors that can affect the time to build are permitting, time to close the construction loan once the contract is signed and most importantly the response time from the homeowner to the contractor when making selections for the house.

2. How much does it cost to build a custom home?
There is no set cost to build a house. The price is determined off multiple factors. These include size of the house, complexity of the house, product selection, size of the lot to be cleared, length of driveway, and multiple other factors.
3. Do I need to already have a lot or land to build a custom home?

No, we can help you with both.

4. Do you provide financing options for custom home building?
We do not provide financing directly, but we do work with multiple different financial instates and can help you with that process of selecting the best fit for your project.
5. How involved can I be in the construction process?
We want you to be very involved in your construction process. That is what makes a custom home a true custom home. We feel like when you make the selections and give us the opportunity to put it all together it makes your dream become your home.
6. Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we are licensed and insured in both the Carolinas.
7. How do you handle warranty and post-construction support?
We have a 30 day punch that we do after you move in. At the one-year mark we have another punch to address any issues you may have. After the one-year punch we warranty the house structurally for 8 years.
8. What sets your custom home building services apart from other builders?
It is our attention to detail and the fact that we are actually on the jobs running the jobs and overseeing the day-to-day operation of your house as it is being built. We excel at scheduling and making sure that someone is working on your job daily so that you are not paying interest on a construction loan while nothing is happening on your site.
