At Longshore Custom Homes, we understand that building a new home is one of the most important investments a person can make. Whether you are relocating to coastal North Carolina, upgrading your current residence, or preparing to build your dream home from the ground up, new construction provides unmatched freedom and personalization.
Based in Hampstead, North Carolina, we have helped homeowners throughout the region design and build custom homes that reflect their lifestyle, values, and vision. Below, we offer key insights into the new construction process and what to consider before getting started.
Why New Construction Is a Smart Choice in North Carolina
Building a custom home gives families and individuals greater flexibility, improved functionality, and lasting peace of mind. Compared to purchasing an older home, new construction allows you to:
• Design with purpose: Floor plans, finishes, layouts, and lighting are tailored to how you live.
• Avoid costly repairs: With all-new systems and materials, you begin with a clean slate rather than inheriting issues from previous owners.
• Build in the right location: We work in some of the most desirable communities along coastal North Carolina. Whether you already own a lot or need assistance finding one, our team is here to help.
Many of our clients come to us looking for homes that reflect their personal style, meet modern energy efficiency standards, and offer long-term value.
Our Design-Build Approach
Longshore Custom Homes is a design-build firm, meaning our in-house team manages your project from the initial consultation through to completion. This approach ensures high quality, consistent communication, and a smooth, efficient experience.
When you work with us, you can expect:
• A collaborative design process with your input at every stage
• Support in evaluating or selecting a lot
• Expert guidance through coastal permitting and construction requirements
• Transparent conversations about budget, materials, and timelines
We limit the number of homes we build each year to ensure every project receives the time and attention it deserves.
Where We Build
Our work is concentrated in coastal North Carolina, where we are proud to know the local communities, landscapes, and regulations inside and out. Areas we serve include:
• Hampstead: Our home base, offering strong schools, natural beauty, and proximity to the coast
• North Wilmington: Ideal for homeowners who want privacy while staying near city amenities
• Surf City, Jacksonville, Brunswick County, and surrounding communities: We have experience building in a variety of neighborhoods, from quiet inland settings to oceanfront locations
If you have not yet decided where to build, we are happy to help you explore the options.
