Who we are

Since 2003

 Homestead Building Company has been a trusted luxury home builder in the Triangle, specializing in custom homes designed with timeless style and exceptional craftsmanship. Over the past 22 years, we’ve built 200+ luxury homes across North Raleigh communities, delivering award-winning homes on time and on budget. Our average build time of 8.5 months is well below the market standard, and over the past 5 years 98% of our homes closed on schedule, reflecting our commitment to excellence.

What truly sets Homestead apart is our team. How we communicate, respond, and treat people defines every project. With white-glove service, including weekly photo updates and quick responses, we make the custom home building process clear, enjoyable, and tailored to each client.

At Homestead, we’re committed to building trust at every step, guiding clients with confidence and support from the first design meeting to the final walkthrough.
