Homes built with pride in every detail
Our reputation was built the same way our homes are, through hard work, integrity, and attention to detail. Whether you’re breaking ground on your dream home or updating the one you love, we’re here to build it right.
Everything your home needs under one roof
We’re a one-stop builder for Southport homeowners who want things done right. Whether you’re planning a new home, a renovation, or just a fix that can hold up againt the weather, we’ve got you covered. Every job gets the same commitment to quality and detail that defines our work.
We Take Pride in Every Board and Beam
Since 2005, Drake Construction has built homes and relationships across Southport and the Carolina coast. We focus on custom home builds, remodels, and additions — projects that combine solid craftsmanship with practical design and genuine care for the people who live in them. Every home starts with a conversation, not a sales pitch, and ends with something we’re proud to stand behind.
As a local company, we take pride in showing up, following through, and doing the work the right way. Whether we’re breaking ground on a new build or reworking the home you already love, our goal is simple — build it well, keep it honest, and make it feel like home.
Flexible Floor Plans to Match Your Vision
At Drake Construction, we know that every homeowner has a different idea of what “perfect” looks like. That’s why our floor plans are built to adapt — not just to your lot or budget, but to your lifestyle. Whether you’re dreaming of an open-concept coastal retreat, a family-focused layout with room to grow, or a compact design that maximizes every square foot, we’ll help you start with a plan that makes sense and customize it to fit your needs.
Each plan is designed with the Carolina coast in mind — durable materials, efficient flow, and details that make everyday living easier. From foundation to finish, our team works with you to turn a set of drawings into a space that feels personal, comfortable, and built to last.
Built Right Proven by Our Clients
We measure success by what our clients say after the job is done. Their trust and satisfaction mean more to us than any award or headline. The homeowners we work with aren’t just clients; they’re neighbors, friends, and families we see every day. Their stories are what keep us committed to doing every project right.
Ron Drake built a custom home for us in 2023. He is meticulous & pays attention to the details to ensure the house is built right. He has great ideas & makes suggestions that improve the house overall. When issues arise, as they will with any project, he is easy to work with and eager to get things resolved amicably and thoroughly.
Had our house built by Drake Construction in Brunswick County. Ron and Tim were extremely professional and easy to work with. We are very happy with the quality of the house and had an enjoyable experience with our first home build. I highly recommend Drake Construction to anyone looking for home build.
I am a real estate attorney and work with Ron at Drake Construction regularly. The professionalism and kindness he shows his clients is 2nd to none, and the final product is always top quality. Every single client that comes to my closing table after building with Drake Construction has nothing but wonderful things.
Ron Drake Construction and his employees are the gold standard for builders, not just in the Southport area, but everywhere. Pre construction, during construction and post construction their communication, attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship has been unsurpassed.
Ron Drake was fantastic to work with as he built our house on Oak Island, NC. We came to Oak Island and met with Ron a few times; however, we mostly worked with Ron through text and email. He kept us informed the entire time and provided pictures of the progress. He made the process very easy for us.
We Don’t Cut Corners
We Build Them
Our team shows up, stays involved, and remembers the details others overlook.
We believe that true craftsmanship lives in the small things — the tight corners, the straight lines, the careful fits. It’s not about cutting costs or chasing trends; it’s about building something we’re proud to hand over and you’re proud to call home.
We Build Like
We Live Here
Every home we build reflects the way people actually live — thoughtful layouts, smart materials, and craftsmanship that holds up to daily life.
No Sales Teams,
Just Builders
You’ll talk with the people doing the work. We keep it simple, honest, and hands-on from the first meeting to the walk-through.
We Sweat the Stuff
You’ll Never See
It’s the unseen work — the framing, the fit, the foundation — that makes a home solid, reliable, and built to last.
Our Name’s on
Every Job
We take ownership of our work and our word. If something isn’t right, we make it right — because that’s the standard we have.

Our portfolio shows what matters most to us: solid work, honest design, and lasting results. These homes say more about us than any slogan ever could. Explore our builds and remodels to see how that promise comes to life.
