Top 5 Reasons to Build with Hagood Homes
Top 5 Reasons to Build with Hagood Homes

You’ll want to partner with an award-winning builder when building your dream home in the coastal Carolinas.

Here are five reasons why so many satisfied homeowners choose the time-honored craftsmanship that is the hallmark of a Hagood home.

1) Personalization

Each Hagood floor plan has a distinctive character, and each plan gives you the chance to create a one-of-a-kind home.

Our design team brings expertise and inspiration to your ideas. We offer consultations with a kitchen designer, a landscape designer, and consultants for outdoor living spaces, lighting, electricity, and smart-home setups. Your personalized owner’s retreat will be truly complete after a custom closet design consultation.

2) Design

Entering a Hagood home, the abundance of natural light wows most people. Our six-foot windows are significantly larger than the average for builders. Eight-foot doors and ten-foot ceilings help create an open and light-filled feel.

Design details honor low country tradition with high-quality millwork, pediments over main windows, wainscoting, and shiplap.

Our attention to detail always keeps functionality in mind. Owners of Hagood homes love our drop zones; it’s the perfect no-clutter place for stowing stuff!

3) Energy Efficiency

Hagood homes rank 45% better than the average newly built home in the U.S. on the national HERS index (Home Energy Rating System). Our homes are ecoSelect Certified by Southern Energy Management, which issues reports on the energy efficiency of individual homes.

With open-cell spray foam encapsulation, Hagood homes save considerable energy on cooling. Other energy-conscious features include high-efficiency HVAC systems, full-house energy wraps, double-pane windows, lighting systems that reduce consumption, and water systems that optimize usage.

4) The Extras

Most other builders call them upgrades and charge you for higher-end features that come standard in Hagood homes. A small sample of these includes:

  • Oversized garages. With doors that are eight feet tall and 18 feet wide, garages have ample space for cars and storage.
  • Outdoor living spaces. Screened back porches. Front porches that are perfect for rocking chairs. Covered porches on second floors with gorgeous views. There are lots of spots to enjoy the mild Carolina weather.
  • Millwork. Graceful cove crown molding, seven-inch baseboards, and coastal trim around windows and doors display the heritage and charm of low country design.

5) Focus on the Future

We create homes to meet your needs today and for years to come. Spaces cater to active lifestyles with an eye toward aging in place.

Hagood’s open floor plans make homes feel modern and airy while offering optimal mobility. Main living areas have wide interior doors. Oversized suites have spacious ensuites with zero-step entry showers that are elegant and practical.

There’s no need to climb creaky pull-down attic steps in a Hagood home; walk-in attic spaces are easily accessible and kept cool by our signature insulation.

When you’re ready to build, we’re here to bring decades of expertise to your vision of your new home. To find out more, contact a member of the Hagood team today.
