Salem Builders in Winston-Salem, NC. Fixed-price contracts, on-time guarantee, 2-year warranty — same standard, same process, same guarantees we bring to every project in the Triad.
Salem Builders is headquartered right here in Winston-Salem. We’ve completed more projects in this city than any other we serve — from century-old Colonials in the West End to new-build customs in the Reynolda corridor.
Winston-Salem’s housing stock is unusually diverse: historic districts like Old Salem and West End are full of 1900–1940s homes with character (and the plaster, knob-and-tube, and cast-iron plumbing that come with them). Newer neighborhoods on the west and north sides have 1990s–2010s construction. Every renovation conversation in this city starts with “what era is the house?” — and we handle every era.

Do you pull permits through the Winston-Salem city permit office?
Yes — we handle every Winston-Salem and Forsyth County building permit, coordinate inspections with city inspectors, and manage the rough and final inspection schedule. You approve drawings; we handle the permit office.
Can you work on homes in a Historic District overlay?
Yes. Old Salem, West End, Washington Park, and other historic overlays have additional design review requirements. We coordinate with the Historic Resources Commission (HRC) for approvals and know which modifications trigger review vs. which don’t.
How do you handle older Winston-Salem plumbing and electrical?
Our pre-construction investigation opens walls in problem areas before we sign. If we find old galvanized plumbing, knob-and-tube wiring, or failing cast-iron drains, the replacement goes into the fixed-price contract — not onto your bill later as a change order.
