As a Strategic Pricing Specialist and founder of the Tim M. Clarke Team, I've seen my fair share of custom home builders in the Raleigh-Durham Triangle. But when it comes to creating truly exceptional living spaces, Kendall Custom Homes stands out from the crowd. Let's explore why this builder has become a cornerstone of luxury home construction in our area.

The Kendall Custom Homes Legacy

For over 15 years, Kendall Custom Homes has been weaving dreams into reality across the Triangle region. Founded with a vision to create homes that are as unique as the families who inhabit them, this builder has consistently delivered on its promise of excellence.

Luxury isn't just a buzzword for Kendall Custom Homes—it's a standard. Specializing in homes 3,500 square feet and up, they've mastered the art of blending opulence with functionality. Whether you're envisioning a modern European farmhouse or a French Country estate, Kendall has the expertise to bring your ideas to life.

A Reputation Built on Excellence

In the world of custom home building, reputation is everything. Kendall Custom Homes has built theirs brick by brick, project by project. Don't just take my word for it—their clients sing their praises louder than any marketing campaign ever could.

The Zimmerman family, for instance, was so thrilled with their first Kendall home that they chose the builder again for their second project. It's this kind of repeat business that speaks volumes about the quality and service Kendall provides.

But it's not just happy homeowners who recognize Kendall's excellence. The Wake County Home Builders Association counts them among their esteemed members, and the Triangle Business Journal ranked them #11 on their list of top custom home builders for 2024. These accolades aren't just feathers in their cap—they're testaments to their unwavering commitment to quality.

Where Dreams Take Root: Kendall's Prime Locations

As a real estate agent, I know that location is paramount. Kendall Custom Homes has strategically chosen some of the most desirable areas in Wake Forest to build their masterpieces. Let's take a virtual tour:

  • Waterstone Manors: Imagine waking up to the serene beauty of Falls Lake State Recreation Area just a stone's throw away. With spacious 1+ acre wooded lots, many offering water views, this community is a nature lover's paradise.
  • Prescott Manor: If privacy and tranquility are at the top of your wishlist, Prescott Manor delivers in spades. The natural, serene setting provides the perfect backdrop for your custom home.
  • Wexford Reserve and Jackson Manor: While I don't have specific details about these communities, knowing Kendall's track record, I can confidently say they'll offer the same level of luxury and attention to detail found in their other developments.
  • North Ridge in Raleigh: A prestigious and well-established community in North Raleigh, known for its beautiful custom homes, mature trees, and two private golf courses. North Ridge offers a blend of luxury living and natural beauty, making it one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the area.

The Art of Customization

One size definitely does not fit all when it comes to your dream home. Kendall Custom Homes understands this better than most. Their customization process is where their true artistry shines.

Starting with home styles, Kendall offers a diverse portfolio. From the clean lines of modern designs to the rustic charm of European farmhouses, they've got something for every taste. And if you don't see exactly what you're looking for? No problem. Kendall's team of expert designers is ready to work with you to create a truly one-of-a-kind home.

The customization doesn't stop at the blueprint stage. High-end finishes are Kendall's calling card. Want a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry and top-of-the-line appliances? They've got you covered. Dreaming of a spa-like master bath with heated floors and a rainfall shower? Consider it done.
