Builders who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. Every license, certification, and credential on this page is verified, current, and backed by the bonding and insurance that protects your investment.
Why This Matters
In North Carolina, anyone can call themselves a “home builder” — but not everyone is legally qualified to construct your residence. Before you invest hundreds of thousands of dollars with any builder, you deserve to see proof they are qualified, compliant, and accountable. At CAD Home Crafters & Designs, we believe transparency begins with sharing our credentials.
Chris Johnson’s Unlimited General Contractor License — issued by the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors — is North Carolina’s highest tier of construction authorization. It permits construction projects of unlimited scope and value, and requires rigorous testing on building codes, construction law, safety regulations, and business practices, plus substantial bonding and insurance to protect every homeowner.
Our professional certifications and industry memberships demonstrate a commitment to staying current with evolving building technologies, energy efficiency standards, and construction best practices. These are not decorative certificates — they are evidence of ongoing professional development that directly benefits the quality and longevity of your custom home.

Primary License
This is North Carolina’s highest tier of general contractor authorization. Unlike limited licenses that cap project values at $500,000, Chris Johnson’s Unlimited license carries no ceiling — he is legally authorized to build homes of any size and any value in the state of North Carolina.
Obtaining this license requires passing comprehensive examinations covering building codes, construction law, project management, financial responsibility, and safety regulations — plus maintaining substantial bonding and insurance requirements that protect every client throughout the construction process.
When you build with CAD Home Crafters, you are working with a builder whose credentials have been verified by the state of North Carolina — not just someone who bought a truck and called themselves a contractor.

Interior Design
Depth of Practical Expertise
American Society of Interior Designers
Abby Johnson has guided the interior finish selections on over 47 custom homes across Guilford and Rockingham County. That is not a curriculum. That is 47 families who trusted her with the most personal decisions of their build — and walked through the door of a home that felt exactly right. No classroom produces that kind of instinct. Job sites do.
The Results Speak
Greensboro Builders Association
Abby’s work has been presented through the Guilford County Parade of Homes — one of the most competitive residential showcases in the NC Piedmont, where homes are evaluated by industry peers and the public alike. Her selections have been recognized not just by the clients who live in them, but by the broader building community that knows what good interior work actually looks like.”
Repeat Trust
Repeat Referrals
The most reliable credential in any creative field is repeat trust. CAD Home Crafters has built its client base overwhelmingly through referrals — families who experienced Abby’s process firsthand and sent people they love to go through it again.
