Custom Home Exteriors in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill
NextGen Custom Builders builds custom homes across the Triangle.
We combine design and build under one roof, so material selections, HOA approvals, and construction move smoothly. See our recent projects below.
Our Custom Home Builds:
We built this modern farmhouse for real life: a long front porch for wet mornings, a durable metal roof, and upstairs windows that keep the center of the home bright.
On this sloped lot, we turned grade into an asset—smooth stucco walls, and a daylight lower level that feels anything but “basement.”
In this custom home build, we went with a timeless aesthetic: a mixed stone-and-brick façade and an arched glass entry that brightens the foyer from the first step. The stamped driveway turns every pull-up into a proper arrival.
We built this modern urban home to feel bold—charcoal brick, warm vertical wood cladding, and a sharp, minimalist entry framed in white. The clean geometry, steel handrail, and precision masonry turn a compact city lot into a showpiece for modern design and craftsmanship.
This French-inspired custom home balances elegance and comfort with a sweeping front porch, tall shuttered windows, and a mansard-style roof. This build was a true Southern take on a European design.
We built this home for families who love to gather outside. The front porch is wide enough for rocking chairs and morning coffee, and the curved driveway makes the approach feel inviting.
Built in Apex, the curved drive brings you to a wide, covered entry with sturdy columns and simple trim—low-maintenance, classic, and built to look good for years.
We built this painted brick home for a family who wanted timeless curb appeal with low maintenance.
