CUSTOM HOMES
WHERE VISION MEETS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Every dream home starts with an idea—a moment of inspiration, a sketch on a napkin, a vision for the life you want to live. Whether it’s your forever home, a private retreat, or the next chapter for your family, building custom means it’s built around you.
At Noble Renovation, we believe your home should reflect your values, lifestyle, and personal story. That’s why we approach every custom home as a collaboration—with your dreams, our experience, and a shared commitment to excellence.
This is more than construction.
It’s a relationship.
It’s a process.
It’s your vision, built with purpose.
Let’s build something extraordinary—together.

CUSTOM HOME PORTFOLIO
UNDERSTANDING CUSTOM HOME PRICING
TRANSPARENT BUDGETS. THOUGHTFUL PLANNING. BUILT FOR VALUE.
Every custom home is unique—and so is the investment required to build it. At Noble Renovation, we believe in transparency from the start, with clearly defined scopes of work, realistic allowances, and no hidden costs.
Several factors influence the cost to build a custom home, including:
• Square footage and architectural complexity
• Site conditions (grading, utilities, access)
• Finish level (fixtures, cabinetry, flooring, etc.)
• Structural systems and energy-efficiency upgrades
• Outdoor living spaces, landscaping, and specialty rooms
Our custom homes typically begin around $275–$350+ per heated square foot, depending on design selections, finishes, and site conditions.
Please note: This pricing reflects construction costs only and does not include the cost of land or lot acquisition. We’re happy to coordinate with your real estate team to evaluate lot suitability and buildability.
A REMODELER’S EYE FOR CUSTOM HOMES
While full custom homes are not our primary business, our deep experience in high-end residential remodeling makes us a natural fit for this type of work. Remodeling requires personal attention, precision, and a high level of problem-solving—all of which translate seamlessly into the demands of building a home from the ground up.
Our clients often turn to us for custom builds because they appreciate our detail-driven approach, our collaborative process, and the trust we’ve earned managing complex remodels with care and craftsmanship.
Whether you’re already working with an architect or just starting from a vision, we’re ready to help. We welcome collaboration with outside designers and also partner with trusted architects and residential designers who understand our standards and process.
We use a two-phase approach for clarity and confidence:
Design + Planning Agreement – to develop plans, guide selections, and create a working budget
Construction Agreement – finalized when scope and pricing are fully defined
Our goal is to eliminate surprises—so you can move forward with confidence, knowing exactly what your home will cost and what’s included.
Let’s talk about your land, your vision, and the possibilities.
REMODELING VS. CUSTOM HOME BUILDING
Every project is personal—but the process, scope, and selections can vary. Here’s how they compare:
| REMODELING | CUSTOM HOME BUILDING | |
|---|---|---|
| SCOPE OF WORK | Transform Existing Space | Design and build from the ground up |
| CLIENT DECISIONS | Dozens of key selections | Hundreds of decisions across all systems |
| STRUCTURAL UNKNOWNS | Must adapt to existing conditions | Built to spec – more control, fewer surprises |
| TIMELINE | Often phased, may be limited by access/use | Cleaner start-to-finish timeline |
| BUDGETING APPROACH | Scoped in Design Phase, with allowances | Broader allowances – more flexibility needed |
| PERMIT & INSPECTION | Often more complex due to tying into old | More straightforward with new construction |
| DESIGN COMPLEXITY | Work around existing architecture | Start fresh with full design freedom |
| MAIN CHALLENGE | Integrating new work into old seamlessly | Managing complexity of whole-home creation |
| OUR TYPICAL PROJECT? | Yes – our Specialty | Select projects where fit and scope align |
| WHY WE’RE GOOD AT IT | Remodeling requires detail and problem-solving | That same mindset makes us strong home builders |

READ OUR REVIEWS
FOR CARY, APEX & MORRISVILLE HOMEOWNERS
Do I need to own a lot before we start design?
Not necessarily—we can help evaluate potential lots and collaborate with your real estate agent before finalizing a site. That said, it’s best if you to come us as an owner of the lot with your own financing in place.
Can you recommend architects or designers?
Yes. We can work with your architect or refer you to our trusted design partners who understand our build process and client experience.
Are there more allowances for a custom home than a remodel?
Yes. Custom homes typically involve significantly more allowances because of the sheer number of decisions required. From foundation to finishes, you’ll be selecting everything—flooring, cabinetry, lighting, hardware, trim profiles, plumbing fixtures, appliance packages, and more.
It can feel seemingly endless at times, but we guide you through it step by step. These broader allowances give you the flexibility to personalize your home without locking into selections too early. It’s one of the reasons we take a two-phase approach—so we can plan, budget, and build with clarity and confidence.
Do you offer construction financing or work with banks?
We don’t offer financing directly, but we can recommend local lenders who specialize in construction-to-permanent loans.
How involved will we be in the Design Process?
Very. This is your home, and we’ll walk you through each decision—finishes, fixtures, floorplans, systems, and more—while managing the big picture.
Can we make changes during construction?
Yes, custom means custom, you drive the boat. If you want it, our job is to help you get what you want. Obviously changes can alter completion timelines and increase costs but we’ll guide you through it.
How long does it take to build a custom home?
Most of custom builds range from 9 to 14 months, depending on size, weather, permitting, and selections timeline.
What happens at the end of the build?
We complete a final walk-through, address any punch-list items, and hand over keys after full orientation. We also provide documentation and warranty information.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. We provide a comprehensive warranty that meets or exceeds North Carolina building standards.
