Frequently
Asked Questions

Custom homes in Greensboro typically range from $200–$350 per square foot depending on finishes, lot conditions, and design complexity. A 2,500 sq ft home generally starts around $550,000–$700,000. Ninth Construction provides detailed fixed-price contracts so you know exactly what you are paying before we break ground. We are always transparent — no surprise change orders.

From permit approval to move-in, most custom homes take 8–14 months. Simpler designs on prepared lots can be completed in 7–9 months. The biggest variables are design complexity, permit wait times (typically 4–8 weeks in Guilford and Alamance counties), and material lead times. Ninth Construction stays in constant communication with you throughout the entire build so there are never any surprises.

Both. We regularly build on client-owned lots across Guilford, Alamance, Forsyth, and surrounding counties. If you are still searching for land, we can help connect you with available lots in Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Stokesdale, Burlington, and the surrounding Triad area. Call Wes at (336) 255-2650 to talk through your options.

Ninth Construction serves Greensboro, Burlington, Oak Ridge, Summerfield, Stokesdale, Mebane, Graham, Elon, High Point, Kernersville, Winston-Salem, and the greater Triad area. We hold a North Carolina General Contractor license and build throughout the state. If you are unsure whether we serve your area, just give us a call.

Absolutely — fully custom design is what we do. We work with your architect, or we can recommend trusted local design partners. Every detail is your decision: layout, ceiling heights, kitchen design, flooring, fixtures, exterior finishes, and more. We do not have a catalog of pre-set plans — your home is built around your life.

Most clients use a construction-to-permanent loan (also called a one-time-close or OTC loan), which funds the build and then converts to a standard 30-year mortgage at completion — with only one closing and one set of closing costs. We work regularly with local lenders familiar with new construction in Greensboro and Burlington and can provide referrals to get you pre-qualified quickly.

Production builders like D.R. Horton use pre-set floor plans, standard finish packages, and build dozens of homes simultaneously — you get their plan, not yours. Ninth Construction builds one home at a time with your direct input at every stage. Wes Haithcock personally oversees every project. You get true custom design, superior material quality, and a builder who answers the phone — not a corporate call center.

Yes, completely. We manage all permits, subcontractor coordination, municipal inspections, and the final certificate of occupancy. You do not need to interact with the county building department at all — we handle it from first permit to final key handover.

Ninth Construction holds a BuildZoom score of 118, placing us in the top 1% of all licensed contractors in North Carolina. We are a licensed NC General Contractor and competed in both the 2025 and 2026 Greensboro Parade of Homes. Our 2026 entry at 3613 Summit Lakes Drive represents our best work to date.

Ninth Construction provides a 1-year workmanship warranty on all new construction. Structural elements carry a 6-year warranty in accordance with NC state law. Many major systems and appliances also carry manufacturer warranties. We stand behind our work long after the keys are handed over.
