Frequently-Asked Questions

How long does it take to build a custom home in Lincolnton?

Building a custom home typically takes several months, depending on the size and complexity of your design. Weather and permitting can also impact your timeline. At Franklin Home Builders, we help you set a realistic schedule and stick to it. From design to move-in, most projects are completed within a reasonable timeframe, and we keep you in the loop every step of the way.

What’s the average price for a custom home in Lincolnton, NC?

In Lincolnton, most custom homes we build fall in the $350K to $800K+ range. The final cost depends on things like the size of your home, the type of materials you choose, and the features you want to include. Want granite counters and vaulted ceilings? That’ll affect the price. We provide clear estimates up front so there are no surprises later.

Do I need to own land before I contact you?

No, you don’t! While many clients already have a lot picked out, we can help you find the perfect property too. We have experience working with realtors and local land developers throughout Lincoln County and beyond. Once you have land—or even if you’re just starting to look—give us a call and we’ll help guide you through the process.

Can I make changes during construction?

Yes, to a point. We understand that ideas evolve, and sometimes inspiration strikes when the walls go up. While some changes are easier early in the build, we’ll always do our best to accommodate updates. We’ll walk you through the impact of changes on your budget and timeline so you can make informed decisions.

Are custom homes more expensive than buying a pre-built house?

Not always. While a custom home can have a higher upfront cost, it’s built to your exact needs—so you’re not paying for things you don’t want. Plus, newer materials, better insulation, and updated systems can save you money over time. And let’s be honest—nothing beats living in a home that was made just for you.
