Garages, Decks, Porches and Basements in Morganton, NC

Hart Homes builds garages, decks, porches and basements as part of new homes in Morganton and across Burke County. You can plan them into your new home from the start, so they are part of your price and schedule from day one.

    Plan the Extras From the Start

    Most extras are easier to add while the house is still on paper. A covered porch to sit on in the evening. A garage that holds two trucks. A basement for storage or a future bedroom.

    Planning them with the house puts them in one price and one schedule instead of a second project later.

  2. Add-Ons

    Garages

    Two-car garages are the most common choice. A third bay is available and adds roughly $20,000. We will help you decide what you actually need.

  3. Add-Ons

    Detached Garages, Shops, Sheds and Carports

    In the past we sent detached garages, shops, sheds and carports to other contractors. We are now open to building them for our customers. In some cases these may be wrapped into your home loan.

  4. Add-Ons

    Decks

    We build decks in any size. Most of the double-wide homes we finish lately get a deck instead of a porch.

  5. Porches

    Front, Back and Covered Porches

    Most modular homes we finish get a porch. Choose a front porch, a back porch or a covered porch, sized to the home and your budget.

Basements

Basements

About 40 to 50 percent of the homes we build have a basement. Your options include:

  • Unfinished basement. Storage and room to finish later.
  • Finished basement. Extra living space from day one.
  • Plumbing rough-in. Pipes set for a bathroom you add later.
  • Basement safe room. A room with a vault-style door.

Whether a basement makes sense depends on your lot. We will look at that during the free site visit.

We give exact prices after the site visit. The cost depends on:

  • Finished or unfinished basement
  • Your lot's slope
  • Driveway length and material

A third garage bay adds roughly $20,000. Everything else is priced after the site visit.
