About Us

Owner and founder of Sun Coast Homes and Development, Eugene Gurganus, is a full-service custom home builder dedicated to building and improving residential and commercial buildings all along the NC Crystal Coast, with a special focus on areas like Morehead City and Emerald Isle. Eugene tailors each custom home to meet the unique needs and desires of his clients.

Eugene began building homes along the Crystal Coast of North Carolina from the ground up with his dad at just 9 years old. That rare experience, which allowed him to see what others may miss, is just one of the many things that set Sun Coast apart. What started as a curiosity has grown into a passion for delivering a customized product at an excellent value, with a particular focus on homes that feel like true sanctuaries.

“A home is much more than a house. It’s your place of refuge. You need to love your home,” says Eugene. “Creativity, craftsmanship, and a critical eye for perfection bring a uniquely customized home from a conversation to paper, and then out of the ground.”

What sets our custom homes apart is not only how we’re able to personalize and price the home to fit the client but also the extreme attention to detail in the construction of the actual structure. Whether you’re building near the beaches of Emerald Isle or nestled in the heart of Morehead City, these are just some of the factors that have given Eugene the impeccable reputation he has—something his humble nature wouldn’t tell you.

“I enjoy engaging my clients in the discovery of their wants and needs because each family has their own individual story that continues in the home they create. I know what questions to ask, and from those conversations, I draw their plan for them to tweak as they desire.”

Sun Coast Homes & Development has completed over a thousand custom homes for satisfied homeowners, many of whom have returned as repeat clients. Eugene’s enviable reputation for quality, responsiveness, service, and a congenial personality has been built over decades, one referral and one beautiful home at a time.
