JRC Construction does home building and remodeling within about 30 miles of Burlington, where the company is based. We build new homes, and we remodel and renovate the homes people already own. We also build additions and repair wood rot and storm damage. Most of this work comes to us by word of mouth.
A new house starts with the ground under it. Our excavation side does that work on the homes we build. A lot without town sewer also needs a septic system, and septic system installation is our main excavation service. Call or text (336) 516-7170 for a free quote.

As a custom home builder, we build new homes for people who own land or are buying a lot. We look at the house plan and the lot it goes on, then put a quote in writing. Burlington sits in the Jordan Lake watershed, where state rules protect a 50-foot buffer along streams and ponds. A creek on the lot shapes where the house can go.
On a lot without town water and sewer, the county comes first. In Alamance County, Environmental Health checks the lot for a septic site and a well site. State law then holds the building permit until the septic Construction Authorization is issued.
On our builds, the lot gets cleared and graded first. Next the footings get dug and the driveway goes in. Where the lot needs one, we install the septic system too. The dirt work and the house come from one company.
About half of the housing in Burlington was built before 1980, by Census Bureau estimates. If an older house is sound but short on room, a home addition adds space without a move. If the layout no longer works, a remodel changes the rooms you have. Some houses need both.
An addition is a small build of its own, and we work as the general contractor on it. Our footing excavation work digs its footings to the plan, ready for the inspection before any concrete is placed. The new walls and roof then tie into the old house.
Opening a wall on a remodel can turn up rot from an old leak. That repair comes first, before new work covers it. When a house is too far gone, tearing it down and building new can be the better path.
Wood rot starts where water sits. A leak at a window or a gutter that spills against the siding keeps the wood wet until it softens. Trim that crumbles under a thumb or a floor that gives underfoot points to rot. We cut out the rotted wood and put sound wood back.
Under state law, a smaller job that replaces rotted siding or porch decking needs no building permit. Replacing rotted framing that carries weight always needs one. The inspections office for your address has the final word.
Storm damage often means wind and falling limbs. If a tree is on the house, tree removal is a job for an arborist. Then we repair the house, and our debris removal work hauls off the storm debris.

State law calls for an NC811 ticket three full working days before digging. Septic work also waits for the county's Construction Authorization.
We do the work in the quote. On a septic job, the county inspects the system before it is covered with soil.
