About Us

A Raleigh native, John Sanders founded John C. Sanders & Company in 2001. The vision? To bring together a small team of talented builders dedicated to individual attention and personal service. Together, we have built or renovated some of the finest homes in the Triangle, and in the process, we have earned a reputation of exceptional craftsmanship and personal service.

It was delightful to work with you and your crew!

—Linda Gray Leithe

We invite you to take a look at some of the projects we have completed. As you will see, we build in styles and environments as varied as the clients for whom we are building. The common thread? An enthusiasm for what we do, an eye for great design, and a desire to get it right. That is our style, and we would not have it any other way.
