The Rufty Difference

We offer a thoughtfully unique approach as a custom home builder.

Handcrafted luxury built with your family in mind.

As the benchmark for fine custom home building in North Carolina, a Rufty experience extends beyond exceptional quality and striking details. You’ll have a gracious home-building experience with a team specifically selected to bring your vision to reality. We’re members of the exclusive NAHB “Builder 20 Club” of the nation’s very top custom home builders.

With friendly personalities and a refined approach, Rufty Homes embodies the trust you’ve bestowed upon us to deliver the finest craftsmanship and value in your truly custom home.

Bringing organization and order to a complex process.

Our unique way of doing things begins with an instinctive intelligence and a genuine commitment to your family’s lifestyle. Truly custom home building is not for the timid. It requires diligence and a willingness to listen intently to your every need. That’s why while other builders come and go, we’ve been serving the Triangle with the same dedicated team of custom home builders for over 35 years straight. Partnering with the Rufty team results in a distinctive retreat for your family, away from the everyday commotion of society. This is your very own spot nestled in harmony with nature, serving as a reflection of how your family lives.

“I can honestly say that your team is excellent to work with, especially after having worked for over 26 years with other building teams.”
- Carroll Cope, Primary Project Designer at Thorne Cope Interior Design
“It truly is the home of our dreams. It’s where we spend time together, make memories with our kids and grandchildren, and fulfill our life’s passions. I can’t recommend the Rufty Homes team enough if you’re looking for your own forever home.”

- Frank & Barbara
“Of course we’ll be working with Rufty again on all of our future projects, including a fourth home on the property for our youngest daughter, when she’s ready.”

- Danny & Renate
“There was never a question that they were putting our needs first and they were always honest with us. At one point in the building process, we talked in-depth about reconfiguring the layout of the home to change the orientation of the garage. Jon was upfront with us and told us they’d absolutely do it if we wanted, but he warned us that lumber prices were starting to go up, which could impact the project.”

- Chad & Caroline
“We put a lot of time and thought into designing our home, and it was important to us that we could find a builder that would support our vision, while also helping us make smart design decisions. After our first meeting with Rufty Homes, it was clear that they understood our goals and were on board some of the more unique aspects that were important to us.”

- Bill & Donna
