Looking for a custom home builder on Lake Rhodhiss? For nearly three decades, JCM Custom Homes has built one-of-a-kind homes and renovations for families throughout Burke & Caldwell Counties and the surrounding Western NC foothills and high country. Every project is engineered in-house and built by the same accountable team — from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
Our custom home building and remodeling services bring a true design-build approach to Lake Rhodhiss: one team keeping your vision, budget, and timeline aligned at every phase. Whether you own a lot on Lake Rhodhiss or are still searching, we'll help you understand what's possible.
Rhodhiss is the least developed of the Catawba chain lakes, which is most of its appeal — and the reason building here rewards planning. Shoreline lots tend to fall away from the road, so the driveway, the garage level and the walk-out all get decided by the grade rather than by the floor plan. Any work near the water sits under Duke Energy shoreline management as well as county permitting, and that approval runs on its own timeline. We survey first, establish where the house actually wants to sit, and sequence the permits so the build is not waiting on paperwork.
