Welcome to Raye Construction


Building Custom Homes with Experience, Integrity, and Passion

 

Raye Construction is a custom home building company founded by Kevin Swartz, a seasoned builder with over 25 years of experience in the construction industry. Since 1995, Kevin has been crafting homes in the Triangle area of North Carolina, where his commitment to quality and client satisfaction has earned him a reputation as one of the area's top home builders. Now, as the owner of Raye Construction, Kevin is bringing his expertise and passion for custom homes to the Lake Gaston area of North Carolina and Virginia as well.


A Legacy of Excellence in Homebuilding

 

Kevin Swartz’s journey in homebuilding began with Heavenly Homes - Kevin R. Swartz, Inc., where he built over 150 homes for a diverse range of clients. His work with Heavenly Homes helped him establish a strong foundation in the industry, where he built his reputation for integrity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. After spending some time in the corporate world, Kevin decided to return to his passion for building homes, founding Raye Construction in 2019. This new venture was created to serve clients who seek truly custom homes — homes built specifically to their vision and specifications. Whether working on traditional homes or modern custom designs, Kevin always strives to meet the individual needs and dreams of each homeowner, delivering homes that are built to last.
