A funny thing happened last month when the Carolina Hurricanes hosted an NHL Stadium Series game. As seems to be the norm, there were many who questioned the Triangle’s ability to host such a massive sporting event with success - either financially or operationally - including the NHL itself. After all, the outdoor hockey game would require the transformation of an expansive college football stadium into a professional-grade ice rink with three times the seating of the team’s regular arena. For those who don’t live within cheering distance of this sports-obsessed area, there is often a misunderstanding of just how passionate its residents are for all things athletic. For those who do live in central North Carolina, it is truly sports heaven.

Is true love just around the corner this February? It certainly could be! The Gavin, one of JSJ Builders’ most popular floorplans, is available in multiple central North Carolina communities. At just over 2000 square feet, The Gavin offers endless possibilities across two spacious floors perfectly placed on a beautiful lawn. It is the perfect new home to make a part of your life, forever.

Is it possible for a town to flourish while remaining quaint and inviting? Residents of Wendell, NC would answer with an enthusiastic “Absolutely!” This small town, located just 20 miles from Raleigh, is one of the fastest-growing towns in the state.

One of the challenges with our beautiful North Carolina autumns is knowing when it is time to prepare our homes for the winter months. With temperatures bouncing from cold to balmy to quite warm throughout the season, it is easy to miss the opportunity to winterize before the state finally settles into true cold months. Start planning your home’s hibernation today by creating a go-to list that can be used for years to come. As you winterize, make notes that are specific to your home so that tasks are easily recalled in later months.

Rounding the corner to the end of each year is so exciting as it brings with it numerous opportunities to celebrate, especially for those in a JSJ Builders’ home. The holidays in North Carolina are always a special time with many local opportunities to celebrate. Prepping your home in stages will leave plenty of time to enjoy all that is offered in and around your community.

Welcome to The Brookside, a floorplan featured by JSJ Builders that offers spacious main-floor living and a versatile second-floor bonus room.

As with all homes built by JSJ Builders, The Brookside will come with the team’s guarantee to engage the customer throughout the entire process and a promise for satisfaction long after move-in. Selecting a JSJ Builders designed floorplan means that the most difficult decision may be in choosing which community to call home. 

Shopping for a new home is both an exciting and stressful time as “Wish Lists” often evolve into  “things we had to compromise on” lists. Realistically, the chances of finding an existing home that checks off all desired boxes, from floor plans to upgrades, are slim. As you begin the process of looking for a new home, make sure you consider a newly built home. JSJ Builders would love to help your dream come true but, even more importantly, we’d love to help you enter the process well-educated. 

Hope Mills is a quaint southern town, just outside Fayetteville, NC, the origins of which are typically traced back to our country's reliance on various trade industries throughout the 1800s. Today, Hope Mills mixes its small stature, at only 7 square miles, with endless activities for its residents. Hope Mills offers quiet, country living side-by-side with convenience to restaurants, shopping, and businesses. And, with quick access to Fort Bragg’s All-American gate, just 25 minutes away, our nation’s finest can spend more time at their new Sheffield Farms North home. Here in Hope Mills, new residents quickly become part of the community. With a new JSJ Builders’ property in Sheffield Farms North, residents will also feel right at home. 

When most consumers prepare to launch into a new home search, they automatically reach toward the pre-existing property market, whether through real estate websites, with the assistance of agents, or even via self-guided tours of desired areas. It is less common for those same consumers to tap into the resources offered by local new home builders.

Why is that? The excitement of building a brand new home is often overshadowed by myths involving budget-busting surprises, bottlenecked communication, or stalled schedules.

JSJ Builders has spent nearly two decades dispelling those myths while working with its clients, from start to finish, to construct the perfect property for each.
