Residential Construction & Home Remodeling in Wilmington & Raleigh

At HKS Construction, residential building and renovation are at the heart of what we do. For over 27 years, we’ve helped North Carolina homeowners transform their living spaces, from minor updates to complete custom builds. Whether you are looking to revitalize a historic home or build your dream house from the ground up, our team brings craftsmanship and integrity to every square foot.

Full-Service Residential Solutions

We handle projects of all sizes with the same level of precision and care. Whether you are building on the mainland or the coast, our residential services include:

We specialize in custom coastal builds in Surf City/Topsail and Wrightsville Beaches, designed to withstand the unique demands of the North Carolina shoreline. From high-wind-rated structures to elevated piling foundations and salt-air-resistant materials, we build beautiful oceanfront and sound-side homes that are as durable as they are stunning.
Beyond the beach, we create homes tailored to your lifestyle, from Southern craftsman-style homes in Wilmington and the surrounding areas, to Modern Contemporary designs in Raleigh and the surrounding areas.
Modernize your most-used spaces with high-end finishes, custom cabinetry, and functional designs that increase your home’s value and daily enjoyment.
Expand your footprint with seamless room additions, garage builds, or custom decks and docks designed to maximize your North Carolina views.
Protect your investment from the elements with expert window replacements, storm-rated siding installation, and professional painting services.
We have the unique expertise required for historic restorations, residential redevelopment (house flipping), and multi-family condo updates.

Renovating for the Future

We believe in building to last. Many of our projects involve restoring homes that have stood for over a century. We take pride in preserving the character of these historic dwellings while updating them for modern efficiency and comfort. Where other contractors see a challenge, we see a vision waiting to be brought to life.
