You have a plan you love, maybe from a house plan website, maybe from your own architect. What you need is someone who will price it honestly, permit it, and build it on your lot.
Triple Crown Contractors is set up for that. The Raleigh design-build company publishes nine custom home plans, from a 2,500-square-foot Craftsman to a 3,333-square-foot modern transitional, and it will also build from your own architect’s drawings. It lays out a ten-step process from consultation to completion and tells you up front that a custom home typically takes 9 to 18 months.
Most of the public reviews on its site are for remodeling, though, not new homes. This guide covers what Triple Crown publishes and what to confirm before you sign.
Who Is Triple Crown Contractors?
Triple Crown Contractors is a custom home builder and remodeler that calls itself “Raleigh’s Trusted Partner for Custom Homes and Remodeling.” It is listed as a builder member in the 2025 Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County directory.
The documented history
The company’s website does not publish a founding year, owners, or licenses. Client testimonials on its site name Scott Bloomer and a teammate named Patrick as the people who ran their projects. The company’s stated values are honesty, integrity, faith, and accountability.
The website lists an office at 725 B Pershing Road, Raleigh, NC 27608, and the phone (919) 977-1108. The 2025 HBA directory listed an address in Apex and a different phone number, and the company’s TikTok handle is @triplecrownapex. Use the website’s number.
More than new homes
Triple Crown also does whole-home remodels and additions such as primary suites, family rooms, and kitchen expansions. Its testimonials cover remodels, exterior painting, siding and soffit repair, decks, and water-damage restoration.
Where Does Triple Crown Build?
Triple Crown’s custom homes page lists raleigh, cary, apex, fuquay-varina, holly-springs, wake-forest, and chapel-hill. Its service areas page adds clayton and Dunn, in Harnett County. Photo captions also mention durham for addition projects. The company says it may take work outside the listed towns if you ask.
The site does not name communities or show addresses for completed custom homes.
What Does Triple Crown Build?
Triple Crown builds custom homes through a design-build process, either from its own plan collection or from an outside architect’s design.

Steel framing
Steel-frame construction and metal roofing are not standard fare for Triangle custom builders. If they matter to you, ask how many homes Triple Crown has built that way and visit one.
How Does Building With Triple Crown Work?
Triple Crown publishes a ten-step process:
- Initial consultation. Vision, budget, materials, timeline, and goals.
- Budget proposal. A preliminary budget with allowances for items like cabinetry, flooring, and fixtures.
- Move-forward decision. Approve the budget and settle remaining questions.
- Plans and design. Outside architects and designers draw the plans, with licensed engineers on complex projects.
- Cost validation and selections. Trade partners provide detailed estimates, and you choose materials and finishes.
- Contract signing. Final costs, materials, and timelines.
- Material ordering.
- Permit submission and approval.
- Schedule. A phase-by-phase timeline once permits are in hand.
- Construction and completion.
Notice the order. You approve a preliminary budget at step 3, but the contract with final costs does not come until step 6, after the trades have priced the job. Plan for the number to move between those two points.
What Should You Verify Before Signing With Triple Crown?
Before signing with Triple Crown, verify the entity, the new-home track record, the allowances, and the warranty. Our guides to finding a Triangle builder and why the builder’s agent works for the builder explain how to keep someone on your side.
Confirm the license and the entity
The website publishes no license number. Match the contracting entity and its license to the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors, and confirm the address on the contract.
Ask for completed new homes
Every testimonial on the site describes remodeling or exterior work. Ask for addresses of custom homes Triple Crown has completed, and for owners you can call.
Watch the allowances
The budget proposal uses allowances. Ask what each allowance assumes, and compare them line by line with what you actually want in the house.
Ask about the design fees
Pricing includes design services. Ask what those cost if you walk away after design, and who owns the plans.
Get the warranty in writing
Triple Crown does not publish warranty terms. Ask for the written warranty and compare it with our home-builder warranty guide.
How Does Triple Crown Compare With Other Building Options?
Triple Crown is a small design-build firm that pairs published stock plans with a willingness to build from your architect’s design.
| Option | Design | Lot | Builder access | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Triple Crown, published plan | One of nine plans, customized | Your lot | Direct | Buyers who like a stock plan and want it adjusted |
| Triple Crown, your architect | Your architect | Your lot | Direct | Buyers with drawings already in hand |
| Full custom builder | Builder’s architect | Your lot | Varies | Buyers who want a one-of-a-kind design |
| Production builder | Standard plans | Subdivision lot | Sales office | Buyers who want amenities and speed |
Who Is a Strong Fit for Triple Crown Contractors?
Triple Crown fits a buyer with a lot in Wake County or nearby who wants a Craftsman, farmhouse, or transitional home built through one design-build contract.
The strongest candidates usually:
- own a lot or are about to buy one;
- like a stock plan or already have an architect;
- are open to steel framing or metal roofing;
- can live with a 9-to-18-month timeline;
- will ask for completed new homes before signing.
It is a weaker fit for buyers who want published prices or a builder with a large public portfolio of new homes.
Final Thoughts About Triple Crown Contractors From Tim Clarke
Triple Crown does a good job of telling you how it works. A published ten-step process, a realistic timeline, and nine plans you can study online before the first meeting. Its clients describe quick replies and clear communication.
The gap is proof on new homes. Every review on its site is for remodeling or exterior work. Ask to see the custom homes, and talk to the people living in them.
I have spent 17+ years in Triangle real estate. Our team builds as well as sells, so we know where allowances hide money and how to read a design-build contract. The builder’s salesperson represents the builder. We represent you.
