Steve and Joyce Almstead, owners of Almstead Custom Homes, are lifelong residents of Rockingham County and have watched it grow over the years. They know the people, the area, and how to choose the proper site for a custom built home. Steve grew up helping his father build and repair boat docks at a local marina and worked as a framer before starting Almstead Custom Homes in 1992. The homes they build have a distinct look, as they use many materials found naturally in this region. The use of native stone, cedar and timber frame accents, creates a home that looks natural to the building site.

Steve also has the unique ability to communicate with both clients and sub contractors to make sure that the homeowner's wishes are met. Attention to detail is accomplished by the choice of craftsmen that are used to complete the homes. Many of the sub contractors have worked with Almstead Custom Homes since it began fourteen years ago. Various details found in these homes are unique, such as custom coffered ceilings, rounded corners on drywall, and custom made trim. Therefore each structure has its own distinctive look and feel to blend in with the homeowner's individual taste. After the construction phase is completed, Joyce ensures that all the new homeowner's wishes are met.

Almstead Custom Homes are built from scratch, including "stick built" roofs, cedar shake siding, exotic hardwood floors, and custom built cabinets with natural stone counter tops.

In today's building market, many builders are trying to mass-produce "custom homes" to compete with large tract builders. Almstead Custom Homes is different. Almstead's building philosophy is very simple. "We build homes with character, homes of which both the builder and homeowner can be proud"

Almstead Custom Homes have been recipients of multiple GOLD Awards from the Greensboro Builders Association Parade of Homes. If you are interested in a custom built home of distinction, contact Almstead Custom Homes to discuss your needs.
