Why Choose
Topsider Homes

Here's What Our Clients Say


Seven reasons clients choose Topsider, from the first conversation through design, engineering and completion.

From the First Call, Getting Useful Information

Uniquely, we provide real costs, specs and back-up to complete our homes.

Not cost per sq. ft., multiples of a kit price, or just a number, none of which are supported with anything specific. Tell us about your property, location and ideas. If you haven't selected one of our online house plans, we'll guide you to one that fits, creating a starting point from which to work for design and budget. Next, you'll receive a detailed no-obligation free cost estimate for the fully constructed home.

Just give us a call at 336-766-9300. We'll get the ball rolling.

Not Being Limited to a Cookie-Cutter Home

Topsider homes catch people’s eye because they look unique and cool.

From pictures and images, clients typically begin by considering one or more of our online house plan ideas and then request preliminary cost information. Others bring their own plans, sketches or photographs, or simply start with their ideas. Ultimately, every Topsider home is custom designed.


For each client, Topsider’s in-house design team will develop a home suited to their architectural style preference, lifestyle, building site conditions and budget.

Clients are not limited to somebody else’s idea of what their home should be.

Dealing with One Company from the Start

In addition to our home packages, we provide comprehensive services from the earliest stages of a project through completion.

These include cost estimates, architectural drawings, engineering, site planning, builder recruitment and technical support throughout. And for offshore projects, we offer full procurement, from bagged concrete to beach towels, along with expert customs and logistical coordination.

Make it simpler. One company, fewer loose ends.

Getting a Quality, Precision-Engineered Custom Home

There’s a reason post & beam construction has been around for centuries. It works.

Topsider takes that remarkable strength and gives it a modern purpose. Our unique post & beam, panelized approach gives us tremendous freedom to design a distinctive custom home suited to each client’s architectural style preference, lifestyle, building site and budget.


And unlike “stick-built”, modular and prefab homes, Topsider augments the natural strength of post & beam construction with floor, wall and roof panels framed with 2x6 and 2x8 lumber rather than 2x4s.

Built Better, Stronger and to a Higher Quality Standard Than Others.

Buying a House Builders Can Easily Build

Why? Because Topsider homes go together quickly, efficiently and easily.

Our post & beam structural members assemble in a straightforward erector-set fashion, with precision-engineered floor, wall and roof panels easily affixed to create a weather-tight home, typically in a fraction of the time required for conventional stick-built construction. Plans, engineering and components are all in sync, giving builders construction certainty instead of interpretation in the field.

Builders appreciate the difference. You will too.
