General Contractor in Kings Mountain, NC
Kings Mountain runs its own planning and building inspections, and homes on Moss Lake have an extra step: any change to the shoreline control strip, from a dock to a retaining wall, goes through City plan review before a building permit is issued. The city also spans two counties, Cleveland and Gaston. AGCS Home Solutions is a licensed North Carolina general contractor (NCLBGC #106996) serving Kings Mountain homeowners with remodels, additions, roof replacement, decks and lakefront projects. We work through the City's process for you and give you a written estimate before work starts.
We work out of Crouse in Lincoln County and take on projects across Kings Mountain, from older mill-era neighborhoods near downtown to Moss Lake homes and newer subdivisions. Our in-house crew handles the core construction, with specialty subcontractors for the trades each job needs, all under one contract.

General contracting in Kings Mountain
Kings Mountain's homes range from early-1900s mill houses to new construction, and the work differs by age. Older homes tend to need structural repairs and updated layouts. Newer homes tend to need decks, finished space and storm repairs. Lake lots add shoreline rules. As your general contractor, AGCS plans the scope around the house and the lot, coordinates every trade, and handles the City's zoning, plan review and building permits.

Building and renovation considerations in Kings Mountain
Moss Lake plan review. Changes to the Moss Lake shoreline control strip, including piers, docks, boat slips, riprap, seawalls, retaining walls and landscaping, need City plan review. Plan review is not the permit itself; a building permit is still required to build.
City-run permits. Kings Mountain's Planning Department handles zoning approvals through the City's online portal, and the City's Inspections and Codes department handles building permits and inspections.
Mill villages. Neighborhoods such as the Margrace Mill Village, listed on the National Register, have small early-1900s homes that often need structural updates before a remodel or addition.
New construction. New homes are being added around town, and those owners tend to ask for decks, porches, finished space and patios.

Frequently asked questions
Who issues building permits in Kings Mountain?
The City of Kings Mountain. Its Planning Department handles zoning approvals, and its Inspections and Codes department handles building permits and inspections.
I live on Moss Lake. What do I need to add a dock or a wall?
Shoreline work on Moss Lake needs City plan review first, then a building permit. That covers piers, docks, riprap, seawalls, retaining walls and landscaping in the control strip.
Kings Mountain is in two counties. Does that change my permit?
Permits inside city limits go through the City. If your property is outside city limits, we confirm which county office covers it.
Can you update an older mill house?
Yes. We check the foundation and framing first, make structural repairs where needed, then remodel or add on.
Do you help with storm damage claims?
Yes. We inspect, document the damage and assist with the claim. Your insurance company decides coverage.
