I love the floorplans but have to go with the James because I live in one... well in fact the very one shown in your pictures! I love it. Virginia Builders did a fantastic job and thought out all the details. The kitchen has a huge pantry, giant walk in closet in the primary suite, primary bathroom is off the charts in awesomeness. I have been so happy with our interactions with Virginia Builders as well.

Virginia Builders did a superb job constructing our home near Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore. We liked the Ava Plan, and worked with the designers to customize our selection in the Virginia Builders’ show room. Our goal was to create a specific aesthetic, and they helped us achieve exactly what we were looking for. Most of their floor plans are created ‘in-house’ so they were also able to customize certain features to meet our family’s needs.
We heard that building a home could be stressful, but Virginia Builders helped manage our expectations and clearly communicated so we were always informed. They guided us through the process, and before we knew it - we were wrapping up the buyer orientation (final walk-through), and on our way to closing. We wanted new construction, because we wanted something truly our own, and didn’t want any extra maintenance. Virginia Builders delivered both!

Carl and the team at Virginia Builders did fantastic work on our home! Having worked with several builders over the last 30 years, we had an idea of what to expect when building (which usually requires a large bottle of Excedrin and lots of counseling...). After misfires with other builders that we had to replace out of frustration on our coastal home, Carl and VA Builders could not have done a more marvelous job of resetting and exceeding our expectations. The team displayed great patience and flexibility with several adjustments in our plan, and they were exceptionally responsive and professional throughout the entire process, delivering extra mile service that was not expected. We wholeheartedly endorse Carl and the Virginia Builders team -- you can't go wrong with them!

Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed the experience of working with Virginia Builders. A lot of people can’t say that when working to design and build a new home. Virginia Builders worked with us to design the home to meet our needs and were even amenable to last minute changes to finishings. 100% recommend if you’re looking for less stress when building your dream home.

We used Virginia Builders to build our own design on our own land. We are very happy with our new home and the entire process to build our home. They worked with us on plans and design, and saw the project through in a timely and professional manner. We highly recommend them!! They are locally owned, highly accessible through the whole build and very responsive no matter how busy they are. Thank you for a beautiful and well constructed home!!

Virginia builders did a great job on my new house, very happy with the whole experience. Time frame, communication, value, and the quality of work. From start to finish. They stand behind their work and make sure you're happy with it too! These days, It's very difficult to find people who will do what they say they are going to do, and then actually do it. Virginia builders actually does it and follows through. Awesome.

Purchasing a new home is one of the most important decisions we will make, and one we take very seriously. That being said, we have been researching builders in Hampton Roads for the past three years. Virginia Builders stands out as one of the best. We love their homes, and their procedures for making their client’s dreams come to life. We absolutely can’t wait to build our forever home with Virginia Builders!

I simply can’t say enough about how impressed I was with my tour of the model home Virginia Builders had in Chesapeake. The employees we consulted with were so knowledgeable and really went the extra mile to help answer questions I had and to help me imagine what my new home could really look like. I also can’t say enough about the attention to details and quality craftsmanship. The little things do matter…These guys are just fantastic!

Virginia Builders is absolutely amazing. There really are no words to express how appreciative we are of them. Luke, Joey, Lee, and their entire team design and build gorgeous homes and the Coco model they built us is beyond what we ever thought it could be. It is absolutely gorgeous and we could not be happier. We were certainly not the easiest purchasers as we asked for a lot and I know we were difficult many times, but they worked so hard to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. They even reached out to us on certain things that they DID NOT have to do to make sure every detail of our home was specifically to what we imagined. I can not express it enough how happy we are and how we lucky we got finding these builders. They are an extraordinary company that went above and beyond what we ever expected. Thank you Virginia Builders!

As veterans with 52+ years of service, we recognize and value integrity, professionalism, and commitment-that is exactly why we decided to build with Virginia Builders. My wife and I searched over a year for the RIGHT builder to build our dream home and Luke Kinser and his team delivered!
This has been an amazing experience and we can attest that they are truly CUSTOM builders. We asked for many changes in structure and design and the answer was always YES. We recently closed and we’re so happy to finally live in our forever home. We considered EVERY builder in Hampton Roads but in the end there was only ONE- Virginia Builders!

As an experienced Realtor who has worked with many builders in my career, I have NEVER worked with more caring and dedicated Builders as Luke and Joey. They are not only easy to get ahold of and work with, they build an amazing home with the nicest standard finishes I have seen with any builder in the area. They truly cater to their clients and work well with Real Estate Agents to ensure everyone is happy while building a fantastic product. If you are looking to build in Hampton Roads, you need to contact Virginia Builders.

Very often, home buyers were tired of being told “No” for simple changes that would allow them, in some cases, to make a house a “forever home”. It is simple. We care and listen to our client’s needs and we offer a unique experience in the Hampton Roads building industry. We understand how exciting, important, and special buying a home is and that recognition is reflected in our home buying process.
Make it yours.

Common Questions
Helpful Answers Before You Reach Out
Can I ask about a community that is not selling yet?
Yes. Join the interest list or send a note with the community name, and the team will share updates as timelines, homesites, pricing, and floor plan details become available.
Can Virginia Builders build on land I already own?
Yes. The team can review your homesite, talk through permitting and site conditions, and help match the right floor plan or custom design to the property.
Can I ask about available homes, single lots, or quick move-in options?
Yes. Use the Available Communities route and include the location or home you are interested in so the sales team can confirm current availability and next steps.
Can I talk through floor plans before choosing a community?
Yes. Share the floor plans, features, or bedroom and bath needs you are considering, and the team can help narrow options that fit your homesite, lifestyle, and budget.
Do you work outside Chesapeake?
Yes. Virginia Builders works across Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Cape Charles, the Eastern Shore, and select Hampton Roads homesites.
How quickly will someone follow up?
During normal sales hours, the team aims to respond the same business day. Inquiries received after hours are typically reviewed the next business day.
What kind of warranty does Virginia Builders offer?
Every new Virginia Builders home includes a 10-Year Limited Warranty through Quality Builders Warranty, provided at the time you sign your Standard New Home Purchase Contract. Because a new home is built from thousands of components by many trades, occasional items may need attention — and our team is committed to addressing them promptly and professionally. A sample copy of the warranty is shared with you at contract signing, and our agents are ready to help whenever a covered concern arises.
Can I Visit the Home During the Build?
Yes. Visiting your home during construction is an important part of the homebuilding experience, and we encourage homeowners to stay engaged throughout the process. Because active construction sites present unique safety considerations, Virginia Builders has established guidelines for site visits. Your Virginia Builders representative will review these procedures with you during the contract process so you know what to expect throughout construction.
To help keep you informed of your home’s progress, you will also receive weekly email updates with photos and status reports. These updates allow you to follow the construction process closely and stay connected to your build while reducing the need to enter an active construction site and be exposed to potential safety hazards.
