Built by Barnhill is a family-owned custom home and renovation company proudly serving Raleigh and the surrounding areas. We believe that a home should be more than just well built — it should be thoughtfully designed and crafted with care.
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to quality workmanship, integrity, and hard work. As a small family business, we take pride in being hands-on and intentional with every project, ensuring each home reflects the people who live in it.
Whether you’re building the home where you’ll bring home your first child, renovating a space to better fit your life, or creating a place where memories will be made for years to come, we’re honored to be part of that journey. Our goal is to create homes you’re proud of — spaces that feel meaningful, welcoming, and built to be truly lived in.
Who We Are
Meet Our Founder
Built by Barnhill was founded by Graham Barnhill, a builder with a passion for craftsmanship and doing things the right way. With over seven years of experience in the home building and renovation industry, Graham has worked on a wide range of projects, including fully custom homes, full-home renovations, kitchens, bathrooms, exterior remodels, window installations, and more.
Graham takes great pride in the quality of his work and approaches every project with the same care and attention he would give his own home. Known for his integrity and strong work ethic, he believes that every home should be built with honesty, precision, and lasting craftsmanship.
When he’s not on a job site, Graham enjoys spending time outdoors hunting and fishing — something that reflects the same appreciation he has for hard work, patience, and the simple things done well. Those values carry into the way he runs his business and the relationships he builds with his clients.
At the end of the day, Graham isn’t just building houses — he’s helping families create homes where life happens, and memories are made.
Our Mission
Our mission at Built by Barnhill is simple: to build and renovate homes with integrity, quality craftsmanship, and thoughtful design. We believe a home should be built to last and designed to be truly lived in — a place where families create memories and feel proud of the space they call home.
