Clearwater Construction Group

What Clearwater Construction Group does

Clearwater Construction Group is a privately held, full-service general construction firm headquartered at 3050 NC-87, Graham, North Carolina, founded in 1997 in Burlington, NC. The company specializes in four interlocking service lines: custom inground swimming pools and spas (concrete/gunite, fiberglass, vinyl, and saltwater conversions) with in-house 3D design and renovation; outdoor living spaces (patios, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, retaining walls); home renovation and remodeling (kitchen, bathroom, room additions); and interior and exterior stone masonry. Service coverage spans seven central North Carolina metros — Winston Salem, Greensboro, Burlington, Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, and Cary — with selective travel to the NC mountains or coast.

The firm operates on a project-based, direct-to-consumer go-to-market model, reaching customers through its website (clearwaterconstructiongroup.com), phone-based inquiry, and on-site consultations. Its core technology is construction craftsmanship supported by in-house design capabilities (three-dimensional pool renderings and construction blueprints) rather than software platforms or proprietary automation. Revenue is generated on a Cost Plus basis, where clients are billed the actual supplier and subcontractor invoices plus labor costs, with a 15-20% mark-up for profit and overhead — a model intended to provide cost transparency rather than fixed-bid pricing.

The operating model combines 10 W-2 employees handling all carpentry and masonry work with subcontracted specialists for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painting, tile, and hardwood floors. Beyond homeowners, the firm also serves architects, municipalities, and general contractors as a subcontractor or collaborative partner. It carries no external funding, no parent company, and no public listing, operating as a locally owned independent business.
