On this episode of “Simplifying Life Through Technology,” Mark, Sue, and Andrew sit down with Sam Meritt, Owner of Cypress Builders and the new president of The Lake Norman Home Builders Association.

We explore how a childhood passion evolved into a successful construction career and industry leadership position. Sam, the owner of Cypress Builders and newly appointed president of the Lake Norman Home Builders Association, traces his journey back to age four when he helped his father build a backyard shed—an experience that sparked a lifelong love for construction.
Growing up tinkering with Lincoln Logs, Legos, and construction paper, Sam's early fascination with building eventually led to practical experience framing custom homes during his high school summers. After winning a Home Builder scholarship and working for Jasper Builders, he launched Cypress Builders in 2017, focusing primarily on high-end remodeling projects. The name itself carries biblical significance, inspired by God's instruction to build the temple from cedar and cypress wood.
What makes Sam's approach distinctive is his embrace of remodeling's unique challenges. While many builders prefer the predictability of new construction, he thrives on the problem-solving opportunities that arise when opening walls in existing homes. "There's a solution to everything," he explains, highlighting the mindset that has built his reputation for quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction.
Beyond business success, Sam demonstrates remarkable commitment to nurturing the next generation of builders. Through initiatives like "Trade Thursdays" at Lake Norman High School, he introduces students to various trade careers—opportunities that won't disappear with advancing technology. "AI will never replace the plumber, electrician, or HVAC technician," he notes, emphasizing the enduring value of skilled trades.
For homeowners considering renovation projects, Sam offers invaluable advice: research thoroughly, speak with past clients, but most importantly, consult with a contractor before making any decisions about materials or design elements. The right contractor brings valuable guidance about reliable subcontractors and efficient project management.
Whether you're considering a career in construction or planning your next home improvement project, Sam's insights offer a blueprint for success built on passion, problem-solving, and genuine craftsmanship.
