About Capital Grading

Who We Are

Capital Grading was established in 2014 by David Stallings, initially serving as the dedicated sitework affiliate of Shenandoah Homes.

 

Since then, the company has experienced significant growth, successfully developing thousands of lots across North Carolina.

 

In addition to our longstanding partnership with Shenandoah Homes, we have collaborated with other large homebuilders and developers, earning a strong reputation for quality, reliability, and expert execution in turnkey sitework contracting.

What We Do

At Capital Grading, we specialize in turnkey sitework solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial development.

 

Our core capabilities include land clearing, grading and excavation, utility installation, erosion control, roadway construction, paving, and stormwater management.

 

Behind the scenes, our work is supported by in-house estimating, land acquisition, engineering, and land development teams—allowing us to coordinate efficiently, respond quickly, and deliver consistently high-quality results.

Experience and Expertise

With over a decade of experience, Capital Grading has successfully completed a wide range of residential, commercial, and municipal projects across North Carolina.

 

Our team brings deep knowledge of site development, engineering, local regulations, and construction best practices—backed by a proven track record of delivering complex jobs with precision and efficiency.
