Will Armstrong

Founder, Oak City Homes

Will started working for a custom home builder in high school as a cleanup guy and fell in love with construction. He loved taking something that started as an idea in someone’s head and making it real.

After college, he became a production supervisor for a home builder in Cleveland, Ohio, where he helped build more than 50 single-family homes. Tired of Cleveland winters, he moved south and became a project manager in Raleigh, overseeing ground-up construction of 3 to 5 unit townhomes.

He grew frustrated that he couldn’t choose the quality of materials and labor, or build anything creative beyond a few set styles. That, plus being scammed by contractors twice as a homeowner and rental property owner, led him to start Oak City Homes in 2022.

He built the company on integrity and great customer service, with a team that truly cares, doesn’t cut corners, and does what’s right. Oak City Homes has transformed more than 100 homes in the Triangle.

Outside of work, Will loves running, being outside, and traveling to explore new places.
