We were in desperate need of a concrete patio in our backyard, and after dealing with a handful of no shows, or unresponsive contractors, I reached out to Brad at Barrow Construction and I'm glad that I did! He responded quickly and the entire process was seamless. Communication is key for us, and Brad and his employees definitely didn't disappoint. Would certainly recommend Barrow Construction!

Expert Custom Home Building in Wilmington, NC
Building a custom home in Wilmington means working with a general contractor who knows this market. Lots near the Cape Fear River, tidal creeks, and low-lying areas carry FEMA flood zone rules that shape foundation design from day one. Coastal wind-load requirements and North Carolina's updated structural codes also affect framing, roofing, and window specs on every new build. Barrow Construction of NC LLC manages each phase of the process, from site evaluation and design coordination to framing, systems rough-ins, and final inspections. We work with homeowners who want a home built to their layout, not a floor plan pulled off a shelf. Whether your lot is in an established Wilmington neighborhood or a newer development, we bring the local code knowledge and trade coordination that a custom build in this area requires. Call us to talk through your site and your plans.
