ADU Contractor Wrightsville Beach NC | Swanson Construction

You've got options for contractors who can work on Wrightsville Beach. So why choose us? Honestly, it comes down to island expertise and luxury construction. We're not just mainland contractors who occasionally work on the island. We understand Wrightsville Beach because we regularly serve this market.

Here's what sets us apart. Island building code expertise is non-negotiable when you're building on Wrightsville Beach. The island has unique requirements—setback restrictions that are different from the mainland, flood zone elevation requirements enforced by FEMA, CAMA (Coastal Area Management Act) permits for any construction near the water, and Wrightsville Beach's own specific zoning regulations. We've navigated all of these for island ADU projects, from Shell Island to Harbor Island, so we know exactly what's required.

Coastal luxury construction knowledge matters here. Wrightsville Beach ADUs aren't basic structures. They're luxury spaces that need to match the high-end market. Your ADU needs materials that can handle salt air, elevated construction for flood zones, hurricane-rated windows and doors, and finishes that reflect the island's upscale character. We know how to build luxury—and we know which coastal-specific materials last.

Space-constrained design expertise is crucial on Wrightsville Beach. The island's small footprint means lot sizes are premium, and you need to maximize every square foot while meeting setbacks and coverage limits. We specialize in creating beautiful, functional ADUs that feel spacious even in compact footprints—we know how to make 600 square feet feel like 900.

Luxury market understanding makes a difference. Wrightsville Beach properties command premium rents and resale values. Your ADU investment needs to reflect that. We build with materials and finishes that justify luxury rental rates and significant property value increases. No basic builder-grade anything—everything is chosen to support the high-end market you're in.

With Swanson Construction, you're getting a licensed and insured contractor who handles everything—from CAMA permit coordination through New Hanover County building permits to final inspections and certificate of occupancy. We've built our reputation on quality island work, and we stand behind every project. No shortcuts, no surprises, just honest work from a team that understands Wrightsville Beach.

Building an ADU on Wrightsville Beach isn't just about adding living space to your property. It's about maximizing the potential of premium island real estate—whether that means creating a luxury pool house for entertaining, a high-end vacation rental that generates serious income, or a private guest suite that gives your family and friends their own island retreat.

The process might seem complicated from the outside. Island zoning regulations, CAMA permits, flood zone elevation requirements, hurricane building codes, New Hanover County planning, luxury material specifications—it's a lot to navigate on your own. That's exactly why we exist.

Swanson Construction takes the complexity out of ADU construction in Wrightsville Beach. We've done this enough times on the island to know where the roadblocks are and how to avoid them. We know which agency officials to talk to, what documentation they need, and how to get your project approved efficiently through the multi-agency permitting process. We understand coastal luxury construction requirements that matter on Wrightsville Beach—proper elevation for flood zones, hurricane-rated materials, moisture management for salt air and humidity, luxury finishes that justify premium rents and resale values.

More importantly, we treat your island property like it's our own. We show up when we say we will, we respect your neighbors (quiet hours, clean job sites, considerate crews), we clean up at the end of each day, and we return your calls. We explain what's happening in plain English instead of construction jargon. And we stand behind our work long after you've furnished your new luxury island ADU.
