Renovated Kitchen

About Us

For 17 years, Leland Builders, Inc. has specialized in building custom new homes as well as home renovations and home additions in the Triangle area.  A Raleigh native, owner and operator Lee Williams was once headed for a lifelong desk job after graduating from Appalachian State University with a Marketing degree and four years of experience in the corporate world.  It was not until a fun renovation project with his wife that he discovered his passion for construction and was inspired to start his own business.  Almost two decades later, Lee has grown Leland Builders into a fully licensed and insured contracting company focused on exceeding the expectations of his clients.  Each project is designed and completed based on client specifications, keeping in mind the company’s philosophy that every home must be more than just aesthetically pleasing.  Leland Builders homes must also provide spaces that have purpose of function, efficiency, flow, seamlessness and just “feel right.” 

Lee works with an exclusive group of craftsmen to ensure that you are receiving the quality, service and timely completion that is required. As Lee wears many different hats, you will have the experience of working directly with the owner of the company from beginning to end on all aspects of your project giving you the highest level of personalized customer service. 

We are proud members of the Wake County Home Builders Association, Remodeler’s Council of Wake County, and the Better Business Bureau.

  • "Working with Lee Williams was a real pleasure. He performed on time, within budget, and with good quality craftsmanship as he said he would. Costs were held in line, including any requested changes quoted and agreed upon before work commenced. His suggestions and ideas during the construction process were very helpful.

    My wife and I recommend Lee very highly to anyone who is building a house, making additions to an existing house, or undertaking a full renocation to a current or even historical house."

  • "My husband and I purchased a 1954 ranch in downtown Apex that we hoped to modestly update to our taste. But after working with G. Marie Designs and Leland Builders we ended up with an absolutely beautiful two story craftsman-style home. Lee was on-site everyday overseeing his subcontractors and worked closely with the town inspectors. Because of his personal attention, we were back in our home sooner than originally projected. It was a pleasure working with Leland Builders and G. Marie Designs and we look forward to future projects with them!"

  • "With the help of Leland Builders and G. Marie Design ,we were able to transform a disaster into a wonderful, livable and homey house that met all my expectations. They listened to what I wanted and with their expertise made it happen . If I ever did another project, I would definitely ask for their help."
