Private Builds

Built for You. Not the Market.

Some clients don't want a contractor. They want a builder they can trust completely — someone who will treat their home with the same care they would. That is what Harborview does for a select number of private clients each year.

What We Build

Every Project. One Standard.

We are a licensed general contractor. That means we can handle nearly any scope of work — from a single outdoor room to a full custom home. Every project is managed by the same principal, built by the same crew, and held to the same standard.

Custom Homes

Ground-up new construction built to your specifications. We manage the full scope — from foundation to finish — as your licensed GC.

Major Renovations

Whole-home or large-scale renovations where you need one trusted builder overseeing every trade. No finger-pointing. One point of accountability.

Luxury Outdoor Living

Screen rooms, covered pavilions, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and full outdoor entertainment spaces. Our most-requested specialty.

Custom Decks & Structures

Engineered decks, pergolas, and structures built with premium materials — composite, ipe, marine-grade stainless — rated for coastal exposure.

Additions & Expansions

Adding square footage, a new wing, or a detached structure. We handle permitting, design coordination, and construction from start to finish.

Estate Maintenance

For clients who want one trusted builder to handle ongoing maintenance, repairs, and improvements across their property year-round.

How It Works

A Process Built Around You

We don't take on projects we can't do well. Before any work begins, we have a real conversation — about your vision, your timeline, your budget, and whether we are the right fit.

If we move forward, you get a fixed written scope, a transparent cost breakdown, and a single point of contact from day one through final walkthrough. No handoffs. No surprises.

We handle permitting, coordinate all trades, manage the schedule, and keep you informed at every stage. Your job is to make decisions. Ours is to execute them flawlessly.

Initial Conversation

We start with a call or meeting to understand your project, your timeline, and your expectations. No site visit until we know it's a fit.

Site Visit & Scope

We visit the property, assess conditions, and develop a detailed written scope of work. No vague estimates.

Fixed Pricing

You receive a transparent, itemized cost breakdown. What you see is what you pay. Change orders only for genuine scope changes — in writing.

Build & Deliver

Same crew. Daily accountability. Regular updates. We build it right the first time and back it with a 7-year craftsmanship warranty.

Client Stories

Built Twice. Chose Us Both Times.

The highest compliment we receive is when a client comes back. Not because they have to — because they wouldn't trust anyone else.

Project One — Charlotte, NC

Major Whole-Home Renovation

“We had been through two contractors before we found Harborview. Both left us with half-finished work and excuses. From the first conversation, this was different. They walked the entire house, told us exactly what it would take, and gave us a number. That number didn't change. The crew showed up every day, the work was meticulous, and when it was done, it looked like a completely different home. We didn't have to chase anyone for updates — they were always a step ahead of us.”

Project Two — Kiawah Island, SC

Custom New Home Construction

“When we decided to relocate to Charleston, we didn't even consider another builder. We called Harborview before we had the lot finalized. Building a new home on Kiawah is a different animal — the permitting, the ARB requirements, the coastal engineering. They handled all of it. Same crew from Charlotte showed up on Kiawah. Same quality. Same communication. The house was done on schedule and we moved in without a single punch list item outstanding. That doesn't happen by accident.”

The Mercer Family

Charlotte, NC → Kiawah Island, SC — Repeat Client

Two projects. Two cities. One builder.
