Since 1993

Our Story

A fourth generation builder, Al Waddell has managed the construction of more than 1,400 homes in Charlotte, North Carolina and York County, South Carolina. Since becoming a founder of Waddell Homes, Inc. in 1993 and Waddell Custom Homes, LLC in 2012, Al has seen many changes and innovations in the home building process and he uses his expertise to continually improve design and workmanship of Waddell built homes.

Named Builder of the Year for both Charlotte and York County, SC, Al remains an active contributor to the industry and the community. Our approach is an evolutionary process and each home reflects what our own experience has taught us, what our clients have told us and what leaders in construction techniques and materials are recommending right now. The end product is a distinctive home as comfortable to live in as it is beautiful to look at.

In 2015, Stephen Plumb joined the firm and in 2022 became a partner and CEO of Waddell Custom Homes LLC. Stephen’s financial and construction background, along with his desire for excellence, adds immensely to the leadership of the company.

Kind Words From Our Clients

My husband and I moved here from Utah to retire and build a home. While still in Utah my husband contacted Waddell Custom Homes and started the process to have them build our new home. We met and ordered house plans and started the custom ideas we wanted within our home. Al Waddell is a man of his word when he says custom built it is just that, within reason he gave us everything we wanted and more. Overall I enjoyed working with his company. His staff was exceptional and highly knowledgeable in whatever area we had a question or concern and because of that we were able to get my dream home. I would definitely recommend Waddell Custom Homes to anyone who wants the best and easy to work with.

My experience with Waddell Custom Homes has been nothing but the best, especially with everyone that I have had the pleasure of working with or meeting personally! When I listen to my neighbor’s home building experiences, I have to clutch my pearls! Waddell builds a top-notch home and stands behind their work! Additionally, Drew (Lynch) is such an amazing young man, a very professional and skilled project manager! He always has the best attitude!

Lynn M.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with each one of you. You are very helpful and offer great suggestions.
Bob and Carol H.
You are a wonderful team. We love our new place and appreciate all that you did for us. We were very pleased with the whole building process and are certainly enjoying the finished project.
Bill and Liz H.
We want to thank you, the entire staff for the efforts that made the building process this time around the easiest and most pleasant experience we have ever had.
Robert and Susan C.
Most any contractor can build a house, but Waddell built us a home. We love our new home.
Tim and Dawn C.
It is obvious that Waddell Custom Homes sets a standard that few builders are able to achieve today.
S.W.
Just wanted you to know what an awesome job everyone did with our one year inspection. As a Realtor and having been through the worst of this process with clients, it was truly special to have a builder not only build us the house we wanted, but to stand behind the product.
Jim and Jo C.
I want to thank you and all your construction team for providing us a beautiful, well made and superbly finished home.
Jim and Michele E.
We are so proud of our new home and how it has turned out. We could not be more pleased!
Stu and Teresa C.
All through the year we think of you so fondly for helping us achieve our "Dream Home."
Jeff and Wenonah H.
Working with the professionals at Waddell Custom Homes was a wonderful experience. When Waddell built our home eight years ago, we were living in Pennsylvania. I had heard horror stories about not being around when your house was being built. The opposite was true with Waddell. Everyone made sure that things were done according to plan and on time. Our visits to the Charlotte area to make design decisions were excellently organized, and we were always able to accomplish what we had intended. We have nothing but the highest praise for this builder.
Marta H.
Waddell Custom Homes built my home in 2012/2013. They are great to work with, explain things well, willing to work weekends or after hours to meet and review drawings, make selections, etc. just a great team to work with in building a home. They follow up and ensure things meet the buyers expectations.
R. H.
Are you looking for a builder with honor, integrity, and craftmanship? Then look no further, Waddell Custom homes is the builder for you. We found Waddell after interviewing 4 other York County builders and so happy we did. The Waddell team is very customer focused and builds beautiful homes that are on time and within budget. With decades of experience, they will guide you through every aspect, from design to finishing touches. You will end up with a quality home that everyone will admire! Thanks Waddell!
Jim and Jan C.
We purchased our new home last year from the team at Waddell Custom Homes and they were great to work with. The team was understanding, fair, and took the time to understand just what we were looking for in the home. And after the home sale, we continued with Waddell to build a custom detached garage. Again - they were great throughout the project. Understanding and delivering on what they promised, when they promised. We would definitely work with them again!
