Bost Custom Homes
Elevating Luxury Living in Raleigh
This beautiful home by Bost Homes was the Showcase for a Cure, a fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
For almost thirty years, Bost Custom Homes has been known for its top-notch quality in the Triangle Area, building luxury residences that blend artistry, innovation, and sustainability. Founded in 1986 by Rex Bost, the company has gained a reputation not just for crafting homes but creating “happily-ever-after” stories.
At the heart of Bost Custom Homes' approach is a deep commitment to personalization. Every home reflects the homeowner’s lifestyle, aesthetic preferences, and dreams. Their in-house design process revolves around the clients' wishes to ensure that each detail—from architectural style to interior finishes—is thoughtfully curated. Whether it’s a Mediterranean villa, a Craftsman retreat, or a Transitional estate, Bost homes are known for their timeless elegance and functional beauty.
Bost Custom Homes is a pioneer in high performance building practices in central North Carolina. Under Rex’s leadership, Bost was the first in the region to implement masonry framing, a technique that enhances energy efficiency and structural integrity. Their homes often feature geothermal heating, solar energy systems, rainwater harvesting, and advanced air and water filtration. These innovations not only increase energy and water efficiency but also promote healthier living environments.
At Bost Custom Homes, they believe in a straightforward and collaborative construction process. From the initial design consult to the final walkthrough, they provide clear communication and stewardship of their client's time and money. They value and invest in relationships with reliable trade partners to ensure consistent quality in every project.

Bost Custom Homes has left its mark on some of the Triangle’s most prestigious neighborhoods, including Norwood Ridge, Avalaire, Prestonwood Country Club, Hasentree, and The Hills of Rosemont. These communities offer serene settings, spacious lots, and proximity to urban amenities, making them ideal for luxury living. What stands out about Bost Custom Homes is that they are a true custom home builder, delivering on each client's unique vision. Homeowners consistently praise Bost for their integrity, responsiveness, and attention to detail.

Bost Custom Homes’ connection with TowneBank started through their previous partnership with Paragon Bank. Patsy Johnson, TowneBank Cary president, was their original banker and has continued to deliver outstanding service, building a solid working relationship. When Patsy asked Brenda Bost to join the TowneBank Advisory Board, she gladly accepted. The Board meets regularly, and Brenda enjoys the welcoming sense of community. “As Raleigh natives with many ties throughout our community, we genuinely appreciate TowneBank's dedication to preserving that community spirit,” Brenda says.
She draws a comparison between Bost Custom Homes and TowneBank. “It’s like the TowneBank philosophy. TowneBank is a family bank. I can’t speak highly enough about Towne because they are just so different from most banks when it comes to personalized service.” So, while Bost Custom Homes builds dream homes and TowneBank helps finance dreams, both seem to share a commitment to relationships, integrity, and community impact.
“TowneBank is very generous in their philanthropic efforts, and we also like to give back,” Rex adds. “We have participated in several Habitat for Humanity Builder Blitz events and built fundraising homes including a Showcase for the Cure house where we raised more than $350,000 to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. In years past, I led mission construction teams in Honduras for nine years, helping build schools, churches, and houses after Hurricane Mitch devasted the country.”
Bost Custom Homes has been featured in community magazines including Home Design and Decor and has received numerous awards for design, execution, and sustainability. Their legacy is built not just on beautiful homes, but on lasting relationships—with clients, the environment, and their community.
Whether you’re dreaming of a modern sanctuary or a classic estate, Bost Custom Homes offers a personalized, high-performance building experience that turns visions into reality. Their blend of craftsmanship, innovation, and heart makes them a standout in the world of luxury homebuilding. For more information on Bost Custom Homes, visit BostHomes.com.
