One of the biggest perks of building custom is getting exactly what you want — not just in structure, but in lifestyle. At Black Rock Home Builders, we stay on top of trends and client favorites so we can deliver homes that feel fresh, functional, and future-ready. Here are five custom features our clients can’t stop raving about:

1. Hidden Walk-In Pantries

Open kitchens look clean and beautiful — but where do you put all the bulk groceries and appliances? Hidden pantries with cabinet-style doors give you extra storage without compromising your design.

2. Vaulted or Beam Ceilings

High ceilings with wood beams or vaulted finishes instantly elevate a space and make even a modest-sized room feel grand. It’s a feature that adds architectural charm and timeless character.

3. Oversized Showers with Dual Showerheads

Forget cramped corners. Today’s primary baths are all about spa-like luxury. Think open walk-in showers, sleek tilework, rainfall heads, and dual fixtures for added function and comfort.

4. Outdoor Living Spaces

Porches, patios, and screened-in lounges are must-haves for Southern living. Many of our homes feature outdoor fireplaces, grilling stations, and even retractable screens for year-round use.

5. Custom Drop Zones & Built-Ins

Functional storage is high on everyone’s list. Built-in mudroom cubbies, hall organizers, and custom cabinetry are popular features that add everyday convenience — and help keep clutter out of sight.
