About Us
More than a builder — a neighbor.
LifeHouse Home Builders is a small, family-run building company serving Cabarrus, Stanly & Montgomery Counties and the greater Charlotte area. We build a few homes each year, focusing on the details you see and care about, as well as those you never will.
Our Story
Built on the belief that a home should last a lifetime
We started LifeHouse because we kept seeing the same thing: homes built fast instead of built well. We wanted to build differently — fewer homes, closer relationships, and craftsmanship that holds up for the families living inside.
Every home we've completed so far started the same way: sitting down with a family, listening, and drawing up something worth building.
What we stand for
Craftsmanship
We sweat the details you'll see every day — and the ones behind the walls you never will.
Communication
Open and honest, from the first estimate to the final punch list. No surprises, no runaround.
Integrity
We do what we say we'll do, when we say we'll do it. That's how we'd want to be treated.
Our Team
Meet the Builders
LifeHouse is the product of a partnership six years in the making. Chris and Jared first worked side by side when Jared's family company, AFC Construction, and Chris's previous company, CGP Construction, teamed up on a major remodeling project — and they have been working together ever since.

AFC brings an award-winning legacy in residential building and redevelopment stretching back more than 35 years; CGP brings in-house design and exceptional custom carpentry. LifeHouse joins the two: deep roots, proven craft, and a shared standard for how a home should be built.
Jared Armstrong

Jared is the one who sees the problems before they happen — the drainage issue hiding in a beautiful lot, the layout that won't work the way a family actually lives. Nearly 15 years in construction and real estate development taught him that the best builds are decided before the first nail, and he puts that to work on every LifeHouse project.

He's with clients from day one, listening more than he talks — because a home should reflect the people in it, not the builder who made it.

Chris Petersen

Chris spent years building homes for other companies — and watching corners get cut that never should have been. LifeHouse is the answer to that: a builder small enough to know every family by name, and stubborn enough to do things right the first time.

More than 20 years in, he still walks every site, still answers his own phone, and still believes the best part of the job is handing a family their keys.
