Our Capabilities

Solid ground underneath, heavy timber above.

Most builders only handle the wood above the dirt, or only run heavy equipment. Because we do both, your slope, drainage, footings, and framing work together as one system.

Service Questions

Common questions about our services.

Have a project in mind that combines grading, drainage, and carpentry? Call us at (919) 726-9945.

Yes. Because we run our own excavation, grading, and drainage equipment alongside our carpentry crew, we prepare level house pads, redirect surface water, and dig deep footings before framing your deck, porch, or dock.
Absolutely. Many sloped backyards in Wake Forest, Sanford, Raleigh, and the Triangle need swale grading, French drains, or downspout piping before a new deck or porch goes up. Doing both with one crew saves time and protects your footings.
We frame with heavy-duty #1 pressure-treated southern yellow pine and install composite and PVC decking (Trex, TimberTech/AZEK), pressure-treated pine, cedar, and heavy timber post-and-beam structures.
Yes. In addition to Wake Forest, Sanford, Raleigh, Cary, Pittsboro, Pinehurst, and Fayetteville, we travel to Lake Gaston, Kerr Lake, Jordan Lake corridors, and private ponds across North Carolina and southern Virginia.
Yes. When your town or county requires structural permits and footing/framing inspections, or your HOA needs site drawings and material samples, we prepare the paperwork and coordinate inspections.
