Home Base Since Day One

Find Your Ideal House Plan – Custom Designed for Your Dream Home

We're New Bern's own. Spectrum Custom Builders builds new homes and remodels existing ones all over Craven County, from the historic district to the newer neighborhoods off Highway 70.

Our Hometown

We Live Where We Build

Spectrum Custom Builders is a locally owned, unlimited licensed general contractor based at 4520 U.S. Highway 17 South in New Bern. We've spent more than four decades building and remodeling homes in this town, so there's a good chance we've worked on a street near yours.

Being local means you don't have to wonder if we'll show up. It also means our name is on the line every time we take a job. We'd rather tell you no than do something halfway.

Remodels and Custom Homes in New Bern

Remodeling Older Homes

Respecting a House That's Been Here a While

New Bern has some of the oldest homes in the state, especially in the Historic District, Riverside and Ghent. Those houses have character you can't buy new. They also have quirks, like uneven floors, tired wiring and small kitchens that weren't made for how people cook today. We remodel them carefully so they work for modern life without losing what made you fall in love with them.

Custom Homes

Building New Along the Rivers

If you'd rather start fresh, we build custom homes throughout Craven County, in communities like Fairfield Harbour, Trent Woods, Taberna, Carolina Colours and River Bend. Lots near the Neuse and Trent need extra planning after what this area went through during Hurricane Florence, so we talk about elevation and drainage from the very first conversation.

After the Storms

We Know What This Town Has Been Through

A lot of New Bern homeowners learned hard lessons in 2018. Storm repairs are often the right moment to fix a layout that never worked in the first place. If you're still living in a house that hasn't felt quite right since the water came in, let's talk about it.

Let's Talk About Your Home

Stop by the office on Highway 17 or give us a call. We'll take the time to understand what you want before we talk numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

Can you remodel a home in New Bern's Historic District?

Yes. Exterior changes in the Historic District usually go through a review before work starts. We'll help you understand what that review involves and plan the project around it. The city's preservation staff make the final call on what's approved.

What neighborhoods in New Bern do you build in?

We build and remodel all over New Bern and Craven County, including Fairfield Harbour, Trent Woods, Taberna, Carolina Colours, River Bend, James City and the downtown historic neighborhoods.

Do you only take on large projects?

Absolutely! Whether you’re planning a full custom home or updating just one part of your current home, we can help. We take on projects ranging from kitchen and bathroom remodels to decks, sunrooms, and complete home renovations.
