Sanford Custom Homes From a Builder Who Works the NC 87 Corridor
The right custom home builder Sanford buyers hire has to know Lee County dirt, Lee County permits and what people expect a house here to look like. Riverstone Construction and Home Improvement Company has been building since 2006 from our Fayetteville office, straight up NC 87. We take on new home construction from the first drawing to the last walkthrough.

Brick Exteriors on a New Home in the Brick Capital
Sanford calls itself the Brick Capital of the USA, and the brick plants around town still back that up. So it is no surprise most of our Sanford clients want brick on the outside, whether a full veneer, a brick water table under siding, or brick steps and a front stoop.
A custom home builder Sanford buyers trust with brick should plan it early. Masonry is part of what we build, so the brick gets detailed in the plan from the start: footings sized for the weight, flashing over every window, weep holes where they belong. It looks right on day one and still looks right in thirty years.

Red Clay, Septic Approvals and Footings Under Sanford Lots
Drive up from the Sandhills and the ground changes color. Much of Sanford sits on red clay that holds water and swells when wet. That is the opposite of the sand around Southern Pines, and it calls for different footings, drainage and grading. Any custom home builder Sanford lot owners talk to should bring up the soil before the floor plan.
On a lot without city sewer, Lee County Environmental Health runs the septic soil evaluation, and tight clay can push you toward a larger or alternative system. We get that answer before you close. Before you build on your lot, we walk it with you: slope, runoff, and where the driveway really wants to go.
Lake Lots, Downtown Infill and Acreage: Custom Home Construction in Sanford
Sanford buyers come in a few kinds. Some want a lake or golf lot in Carolina Trace and need plans that clear its review process. Some want an infill lot close enough to walk to the Depot and downtown. Others want five acres on the county side and room for a shop.
Our in-house design starts there. We plan a kitchen layout that works for how you cook, a primary bathroom with the storage you never had, and a mudroom for clay-covered boots. That is custom home construction built for this town.

Permits, Crews and Roofing on One Sanford Home Builder Schedule
Riverstone is a licensed and insured general contractor, and on a Sanford build we work with the City of Sanford for lots inside the limits and Lee County for lots outside them, through every inspection. Permits, materials, labor. Turn-key.
Our crews install the new roof right after framing so the house is dried in fast. You get one home builder, one point of contact, and one company answerable for the schedule.
What Sets Riverstone Apart for Sanford Homeowners Comparing Builders
Lee County has builders. What we add is a record that has been checked by people who check for a living: projects at Fort Bragg through HITT Construction and DynCorp, work for the U.S. Army 3rd Group, and HUD-funded and multi-family housing. We are a Native American, woman-owned small business, and a custom home builder Sanford families can call directly.
After the keys change hands, our restoration crew handles storm and insurance repairs. Updating an older house in Rosemount-McIver Park instead of building? Our whole-home renovations cover that too. Closer to Fort Bragg? See our Spring Lake home building page.

Sanford Custom Home Building Questions
Can you build a full brick home in Sanford?
Yes. We do masonry, and we design the footings and flashing for full brick veneer from the first set of plans.
Does red clay in Lee County change how a house is built?
It does. Clay holds water and swells, so footings, drainage and grading get designed for it.
Will my Sanford lot pass a septic evaluation?
Lee County Environmental Health makes that call. We get the evaluation scheduled before you close so there are no surprises.
Can you build in Carolina Trace?
Yes. We prepare drawings for the community's review and make any changes it asks for before work starts.
What is step one for a new build?
Securing financing pre-approval for a budget is the most important first step. Contact us for financing help!
Do you help buyers secure a lot?
Yes. We work with multiple resources to help secure your land.
Can you design my floor plan?
Yes! Design and plan development happen in-house. Contact us today for a consultation.
Are your estimates free?
