Deck Builder and Home Remodeler in Winston-Salem, NC

When you invest in your home, you need a contractor who understands the work, communicates clearly, and remains accountable throughout the project.

Carolina Custom Builds, LLC provides custom deck construction and complete residential remodeling services for homeowners in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Our services include custom decks, complete deck replacement and rebuilding, kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, home additions, sunrooms, screened porches, and fifth-season rooms.

Owner Zachary Westmoreland remains personally involved from the initial consultation through construction and completion. Zachary is not simply the person who sells the project and then sends another crew to complete it. He prepares the estimate, manages the work, coordinates specialty trades, communicates with the homeowner, and works directly on the project.

Whether you are planning an outdoor living space or updating the inside of your home, Carolina Custom Builds provides a straightforward, owner-led approach.

Custom Deck Construction in Winston-Salem

A custom deck can give you a more comfortable and useful connection between your home and backyard.

Some homeowners need a practical area for a grill, table, and outdoor seating. Others want a larger deck with multiple areas for entertaining, dining, relaxing, or accessing another part of the property.

Carolina Custom Builds plans each deck around the home, yard, existing access points, and the way the homeowner intends to use the finished space.

Custom deck projects may include:

  • New ground-up deck construction
  • Pressure-treated wood decking
  • Composite decking
  • Trex decking
  • Custom deck stairs
  • Wood railings
  • Vinyl railings
  • Metal railings
  • Cable railing systems
  • Multiple seating areas
  • Outdoor dining areas
  • Improved backyard access
  • Large custom outdoor living spaces

Zachary can review inspiration photos, sketches, plans, and material preferences. Some homeowners already know exactly what they want. Others need help comparing wood and composite decking, choosing a railing system, or deciding how large the deck should be.

The goal is to build a deck that works with the property rather than forcing a standard design onto every home.

Complete Deck Replacement and Rebuilding

An aging deck may have more problems than the visible surface suggests.

Loose boards, unstable railings, damaged stairs, movement, moisture damage, and deteriorated framing can indicate that the structure needs more than a small repair.

Carolina Custom Builds focuses on complete deck replacement and substantial rebuilding rather than patching new materials over construction that may continue to fail.

Zachary will inspect the existing deck and discuss what he finds. If the structure has limited damage, he can explain the available options. If the posts, framing, stairs, or connections are deteriorating, a complete rebuild may provide a better long-term result.

Replacing the deck also allows you to improve the original design.

A complete deck replacement may give you an opportunity to:

  • Increase the size of the deck
  • Change the shape or layout
  • Move or widen the stairs
  • Upgrade from wood to composite decking
  • Select a different railing style
  • Improve access to the yard
  • Create separate areas for grilling and seating
  • Replace an outdated appearance
  • Build the new structure around your current needs

Carolina Custom Builds approaches deck replacement as a complete construction project, not a cosmetic cover-up.

Kitchen Remodeling in Winston-Salem

A kitchen remodel can improve storage, movement, lighting, appearance, and the way your family uses the home.

Carolina Custom Builds handles substantial kitchen remodeling projects, including complete gut renovations and projects involving multiple parts of the room.

Kitchen remodeling services may include:

  • Complete demolition
  • Framing and preparation
  • Drywall installation and finishing
  • Cabinet installation
  • Custom cabinetry coordination
  • Countertop coordination
  • Kitchen islands
  • Flooring installation
  • Tile backsplashes
  • Lighting updates
  • Plumbing coordination
  • Electrical coordination
  • Trim and finish carpentry
  • Layout improvements

Some kitchens need a complete transformation. Others can be improved by keeping the general layout and replacing the cabinets, flooring, countertops, lighting, and finishes.

Zachary can inspect the room and discuss what makes sense based on the existing conditions, homeowner preferences, and approved budget.

Carolina Custom Builds does not force every kitchen into the same style. Shaker-style cabinetry is popular, but homeowners may prefer traditional, rustic, simple, or more personalized finishes.

The finished kitchen should fit the home and make everyday tasks easier.

Bathroom Remodeling in Winston-Salem

An outdated or poorly arranged bathroom can be uncomfortable to use and difficult to maintain.

Carolina Custom Builds provides bathroom remodeling services ranging from practical updates to complete custom renovations.

A bathroom remodel may include:

  • Complete demolition
  • Custom showers
  • Standing and walk-in showers
  • Tub and shower combinations
  • Separate tubs and showers
  • Tile surrounds
  • Bathroom flooring
  • Heated flooring
  • Vanity installation
  • Drywall and finish work
  • Lighting changes
  • Plumbing coordination
  • Electrical coordination
  • Layout changes
  • Room-to-bathroom conversions

Zachary has experience with standard bathroom renovations as well as larger projects. One previous project involved converting an entire bedroom into a custom bathroom.

Not every homeowner needs the most expensive materials or a highly customized layout. Some want a practical renovation with a new shower, updated flooring, a better vanity, and cleaner finishes.

The scope should be based on what improves the room and fits the home.

Home Additions in Winston-Salem

A home addition can create the extra space your family needs without requiring you to move.

Carolina Custom Builds works with homeowners considering room additions, expanded living spaces, additional bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen expansions, and other substantial additions.

A home addition may include:

  • New living space
  • Bedroom additions
  • Bathroom additions
  • Primary suite expansions
  • Kitchen expansions
  • Family room additions
  • Home office space
  • Guest rooms
  • Flexible living areas

The addition should connect naturally to the existing home. Rooflines, windows, doors, flooring, ceiling height, trim, and access between rooms all affect the final result.

Zachary can inspect the proposed area, review existing plans, and help identify the major construction requirements.

Carolina Custom Builds performs and manages the main construction while coordinating electrical, plumbing, roofing, and other specialty trades when needed.

Sunrooms, Screened Porches, and Fifth-Season Rooms

A sunroom or enclosed porch can help you enjoy your backyard during more of the year.

A screened porch may provide shade, protection from insects, and a comfortable place to enjoy fresh air. A sunroom may offer more enclosure and natural light. A fifth-season room can combine features of a screened porch and window-filled enclosed space.

Projects may include:

  • New screened porches
  • Sunroom additions
  • Enclosed porches
  • Fifth-season rooms
  • Window and screen systems
  • Porch flooring
  • Framing and roofing
  • Exterior doors
  • Lighting and ceiling fan coordination
  • Combined porch and deck projects

Before enclosing an existing porch or deck, Zachary will inspect the structure. The framing, roof, posts, supports, and connections must be suitable for the additional work.

If the existing structure has deterioration or questionable construction, rebuilding may be necessary before the enclosure is completed.

One Contractor, Start to Finish

Work Directly With the Owner

Carolina Custom Builds is an owner-led company.

Zachary is the estimator, project manager, working contractor, and main customer contact. The person who visits your home is also responsible for understanding the project and seeing it through.

This direct involvement gives homeowners a clear point of accountability.

Zachary is normally present at the jobsite and available to answer questions as they arise. When specialty subcontractors are needed, he coordinates their work while remaining responsible for the overall project.

Clear Communication Throughout the Project

Communication and punctuality are two of the qualities homeowners appreciate most about working with Zachary.

Customers can contact him by phone, text message, email, or through direct conversations at the project.

Zachary would rather communicate too much than leave a homeowner wondering what is happening. Customers are encouraged to ask questions and bring up concerns while work is in progress.

Construction can involve material decisions, trade scheduling, existing conditions, and changes that must be discussed. Clear communication helps the homeowner understand the project and what comes next.

“Zach is great. Carolina Custom Builds is our go-to for most of our home projects. They really can do it all. Very well priced. They do the best quality work. Zach came out and installed tile in my bathroom. He uninstalled the tub, sink, and toilet to tile behind them, then replaced them without issue. This was a multiday project and he cleaned up at the end of each day and even installed the toilet back just so we can use each night while he was tiling behind it. Zach have also done a few projects for me in the past. They can do almost anything. I love his work. 6 stars if I could.”
