Meet Lane Cloninger

Founder & Owner

As a Charlotte native, Lane Cloninger’s deep roots in the Queen City inform every project he undertakes. After graduating from South Mecklenburg High School and earning his Bachelor’s degree in Business from NC State University, Lane returned home to begin his career in the residential sector.

In 2003, Lane transitioned from home evaluations to full-scale renovations and custom home building. His resilience and reputation for being detail-oriented allowed the company to thrive even during challenging economic shifts in the industry.
 

Why Work With Lane?

• Focused Quality: By limiting production to 6–8 custom homes a year, Lane ensures hands-on management and superior quality for every client.

• Local Expertise: Having built and renovated houses in nearly every corner of the city, he understands the unique character of Charlotte’s neighborhoods.

• Proven Track Record: Most of his projects are secured by homeowners before construction is even complete, a testament to his craftsmanship and vision.

Today, Lane continues to stay "ahead of the game" through his passion for building and his commitment to his community. He lives in Charlotte with his wife and two children and remains a devoted fan of the Carolina Panthers.
