Carolina Beach Custom Home Builders

At Shipshape Building, we don’t just construct houses—we craft homes tailored to your lifestyle, vision, and the unique demands of coastal living. From initial planning to final walkthrough, we bring precision, creativity, and deep local knowledge to every stage of the process.

Building a custom home near the coast comes with unique challenges—from high-wind engineering to flood zone requirements—and we have the experience to navigate it all with confidence. Led by John Batson’s decades of experience in both construction and building inspection, our team ensures every detail meets the highest standards for safety, longevity, and style.

We prioritize transparency, proactive communication, and a hands-on approach to make your homebuilding experience smooth, informed, and rewarding. Whether you’re building your primary residence or a coastal retreat, we’re here to deliver a home that’s as durable as it is beautiful.

What you can expect:

• Thoughtful collaboration from design to completion
• Expert navigation of permitting and coastal regulations
• High-performance building practices for storm and flood resilience

Let’s build something exceptional—together.
