Hagood’s homes have a distinctive character that you don’t find with other builders. Each time you walk into a Hagood home, you unmistakably know it is a Hagood home, yet each one is different. Some of our design features that give Hagood homes their character are:

• Signature drop zone
• Double stud pocket windows
• Heavy millwork
• Pediment details over main windows
• Wainscoting in two rooms
• 10’ ceilings for an open, airy feel
• 8’ doors off main living area

Thanks to plan designer Troy Kenny, each Hagood home has a flow and immediate livability that is second to none. Troy has an innate ability to live in each home before it’s built or a single brick is laid. This talent gives homeowners features that fit their lifestyle and unique customization that they never imagined.

We are known as the builder that can ‘make it happen’. We personalize our homes to fit the needs of our clients. We offer the following design consultations to customize features that fit your style:

• Design consultation with kitchen designer
• Design consultation with landscape designer
• Outdoor living space design
• Design consultation for California closet in owners retreat

We want home owners to build their own legacy in a Hagood home. With each custom home design we envision a space that you can and want to live in for many years to come. Our homes offer features that make aging in place possible. Some examples of our aging in place design features include:

• Spacious, open floor plans for optimal mobility
• Master-on-main plan options
• Oversized suites and mater baths
• Zero-step entry into shower
• Footings 100% wider than NC building code to reduce maintenance issues down the road and improve over structural soundness
• Walk-in attic storage for easy access
• Wide interior doors in main living area
• 6 foot windows for natural lighting to reduce eye strain
• Quality cabinets with soft-close drawers for ease of use
• Motion-activated lights in pantry
• 8 foot deep porch, while other builders commonly feature 6 feet or less
• Screened in and covered rear patio and outdoor living areas

Natural lighting helps people be more productive, happier, healthier and calmer. Plus, compared to other lighting methods, natural lighting reduced eye strain and makes it easier to see.

While other builders use 4.5 – 5 foot windows, Hagood homes feature 6 foot windows for ample natural light. Our homes have an average of 30% more windows than other builders.

Hagood homes are designed to measurably improve energy efficiency. Our homes’ National Energy Rating (HERS INDEX) is on average 35% better than the average new home built in the United States. Plus, many of our homes are ecoSelect Certified. Through this program prospective buyers receive a copy of the home’s energy report to verify it’s energy efficiency.

Some examples of our energy conscious features include:

• Programmable thermostats
• High-efficiency HVAC
• Energy-efficient lighting
• Reduced water usage
• Advanced air sealing

In 2017 we began using MPI spray foam insulation. The Department of Energy estimates this type of insulation offers up to 40% savings on heating and cooling costs. With an average HERS index score of 60, this non-toxic insulation lessens your carbon footprint by reducing your homes energy consumption.

When we build our homes, we pick the truss system that allows for the most storage space. This is something that is overlooked by many of our competitors. While many builders only offer pull-stairs to access the attic, our homes feature walk-in attic access. At Hagood we understand our client’s needs for ample easily accessible walk up storage.
