We had been coming to the Outer Banks for 27 years and were seasoned vacation homeowners when we decided to build our slice of paradise. What made the difference with BC Custom Builders was the enthusiasm we encountered when presenting our sketch of ideas…this truly was going to be a custom built house. Living in Texas at the time didn’t prove to be a problem… Lisa kept us informed through photo-emails and we came about once a month to see our dream materialize.
When choosing a builder you can sample their work, you can get references, but most importantly you need to feel comfortable with the people you will be working with over the next several months. We recommend BC Custom Builders. They provide a quality product and serve it with integrity being true to their price and meeting our rental deadline.
This was a fun project…you will like the way they do business, we did.

One of the happiest experiences of our lives occurred during the period of time when our house was being built by BC Custom Builders. At the end, we threw a party for everybody associated with the construction of the house. We have enjoyed a lovely relationship with everybody. Hard to believe, I know, but there were no issues with anybody. We had lots of fun thru the process even tho we lived a day away from the Outer Banks. The Cublers built us a wonderful house that has graciously withstood the test of wind and rain, and other issues of wearablilty. They were always available to us thru the construction process and above all else, they were FAIR. They build an outstanding house because they maintain a high level of quality of acceptability. They stand behind the workmanship of their contractors. We have recommended them to several people who have been equally happy with their homes. Our home is open to anybody who would like to see it.

After my husband retired, I accepted a position in Manteo, N.C. BC Custom Builders built our beautiful home in Manteo. Five months after moving into our home, my husband was diagnosed with cancer and passed away within the year. Karl & Lisa (Elizabeth) have not only continued to help me with issues relating to my home (broken fence from a storm, installing a wet bar in the kitchen, etc.) but have been very good friends that I could rely on in times of need. I highly recommend BC Custom Builders!

Working with BC Custom Builders has been a pleasure. My home is located in the off-road area of Carova. Building in that area has its challenges and BC effectively brought their knowledge and experience of the challenges to my job. My home turned out beautifully. Karl,Elizabeth, and Rick are an honest and professional team and I appreciate their collaborative approach to building. I recommend them highly.

BC built our house in Ocean Hill in 1994, remodeled it in 1999 to enclose the ground floor, and remodeled it again in 2007 to add an addition to accommodate an elevator. Each experience has been a pleasure. They are attentive to our needs, creative with solutions, and meticulous in attention to detail. The field construction supervisor was there with us every step of the way, answering our questions and handling small problems before they had a chance to become big ones. The quality of the construction and value received was excellent. Our house is fully booked for all in and shoulder season weeks, and we have a high percentage of repeat renters. This testifies to the comfort of BC design and function. Thank you!!

We always hoped to build a house on the Outer Banks. After purchasing a lot on the off-road area north of Corolla, we needed to find a contractor. Living in Pennsylvania, we had no idea where to begin to look for a reputable construction company. At the recommendation of a local maintenance person on the Outer Banks, we contacted BC Builders. What a fun and exciting experience it was to meet and work with Ben and Karl. They were in constant contact with us, answering the many questions we had. The entire team of BC Builders were very helpful and professional and we now have a beautiful beach house that is a top-notch structure and has withstood some nasty storms. We have done building projects here in Pennsylvania that were not nearly as easy and pleasurable as was the building project in North Carolina. We consider the Cublers our friends – when we’re at our beach house, they stop by to chat and make sure all is well with the house. We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who is looking for a custom builder – you won’t be sorry you chose BC CUSTOM BUILDERS!

Karl and Elizabeth were an absolute pleasure to work with through the entire construction process of our rental home and what a process it was. We had a number of very complex issues with our lot and both Karl and Elizabeth were outstanding in how they helped us navigate through some of the legal and regulatory challenges. They also were fantastic in their design and functional choices we made on the home. The home was constructed with an amazing amount of thought in how it would be used, what was important to us, what choices and options we had and what recommendations they thought we really should listen to. During the construction phase, Karl and Elizabeth continued to make design changes that made the house better and better. It was a great partnership working with the Cublers!!! The quality of their work and overall design of the house was directly responsible for how popular the home is with our quests. As far as we're concerned, there is no better builder in the Outer Banks.
