The renovation from complex and very detailed and the entire team were rock stars! 4 Forty Four cared for our project like it was their own residence and we love our newly renovated home. We would recommend working with 4 Forty Four over and over again. **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank you. Thank you for choosing to work with us. We enjoyed working with you and Jenny. **★★★★★ — Johanna Mohler, Dec. 2025** > We are living in our dream historic home thanks to the hard work of 4 Forty Four. They did a wonderful job of bringing our vision to life while still maintaining the charm of our 1900s farmhouse. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work. **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank you. We appreciate your business. We enjoyed working with you. **★★★★★ — Greg Tarbutton, Dec. 2025** > 4 Forty Four took my wife's of taking something old and making it new. They were able to keep the character of the old building while adding the modern convenances that make an old biuilding livable . My concern was to make the building as maintenance free as possible , not an easy task when dealing with the weather extremes we have in the high country. Their crew accomplished it. 4 forty four should be your choice if you are remodeling or building , their attention to detail is second to none. **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank you. We appreciate your business. Its been an honor to work with you & Annie. **★★★★★ — Shelly Campbell, Nov. 2020** > The quality, beauty and functionality of our home exceeds our every expectation. The team heard us as we expressed our vision for our home, and they executed it well. The integrity and honesty of each team member at 4 Forty Four gave us great peace of mind during the entire process. **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank you for your kind words, Shelly! It was an honor to partner with you and we're so grateful for you and your family. **★★★★★ — Hope S, July 2020** > 4 Forty Four was a pleasure to work with on building our dream home. From office staff to site workers, they are all professional, competent, responsive, positive, trustworthy, and hard-working. From the start of the project to the finish, they understood the vision for our home and worked hard to make it happen. They are widely respected among the construction community and suppliers in the High Country, and having worked with them, we can understand why. **★★★★★ — Chip Cash, June 2020** > We've known of 4 Forty Four's reputation for a long time but had never needed them until now. We called them to fix a problem with our chimney, roof, and inner structure of the house that had been a problem left unsolved for years (after several tries with other builders). > > We were completely satisfied with the work 4 Forty Four did at our house. They are top-notch builders and worked hard to accommodate our schedule and opinions during the process. They are dependable and accessible, and everyone is very nice to work with—from the office to the crews. We highly recommend them in the high country! **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank you for your kind words. It has been an honor. We appreciate the opportunity! **★★★★★ — Wayne Barth, Sept. 2018** > This company provides a professional, quality product, on schedule and within budget. I would use this company again without reservation and strongly recommend them to prospective clients. Definitely a 5 star company. **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank You. We appreciate your business and we are thankful that you chose us for your home renovation project! **★★★★★ — Oris & Daniel WEINER, Sept. 2018** > We have now completed two projects with 4 Forty Four. One was a large master bathroom remodeling project and the second involved adding a closet and full bath to our lower level (and other enhancements as well) In both instances, the Project Manager worked with us to develop and understand the budget, and we were kept well informed as the project progressed. The project foreman impressed us by always ensuring all work was done to the highest standards - no corners were cut. We now clearly have one of the most impressive master bathrooms in the area, and the completion of the downstairs bath and closet effectively enabled us to add an additional bedroom for when our family visits. **★★★★★ — Shaun Cardwell, Aug. 2018** > These guys are absolutely top notch! Incredibly professional and thorough from drawing plans to outlining every last bit of material down to the screws and nails. And they are completely transparent in terms of the project overhead cost and their profit. They even came in under budget on my project! I can't say enough positive things about this company. **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank you for your encouraging feedback Shaun. We are grateful for the opportunity to do your project. **★★★★★ — Sarah Townsend, March 2018** > We worked with 4 Forty Four to build our house a few years ago. I could not have asked for a better experience! From the start of the process in budgeting (which was a little stressful) to the building and all the way to the end- they were amazing. They were so helpful and always cared about the details. They are efficient, kind and really do an awesome job. The actual building project my husband and I had no disagreements whatsoever- I contribute this to their amazing team. Toma and Kevin could not have made this experience any better. And the stressful budget part, yeah- that was worth it! They cost projected and got it all in order, so when we were finished- we were done, no hidden/extra fees. Thank you guys! \[\[the pictures from our project are on their photos of their homes, listed as "Safe Haven"\]\] **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank you for the kind words and for the opportunity to build your home Sarah! **★★★★★ — Mountain Lumber Co Of Boone, March 2018** > As a supplier that works with many builders, I can truly say that 4 Forty Four is one of the best builders in our area. Their integrity, professionalism, planning, and execution are unmatched. > > They consistently stay on time and on budget, while providing an excellent product. **Comment from 4 Forty Four:** > Thank You for the nice comments. We have enjoyed working with you over the years. Your knowledge in providing current quality products is greatly appreciated! **★★★★★ — bmj@embarqmail.com johnson, Dec. 2017** > My husband and I have been very pleased with Four Forty Four. Very professional at every level right on to the contractors such as electricians, etc. All individuals involved were easy to work with and provided beautiful workmanship and quality attention to the details. We did not want a cookie cutter house, and Four Forty Four worked to make all of the special touches we wanted, come to life even better than we could have hoped for. We feel like they are family, including the workers who were up on the roof, doing the tough work. Wonderful group of people. And it just so happens that they build beautiful homes too! ## Selected projects - [Mountain Marvel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mountain-marvel-pj-vj~7606683) - Location: Blowing Rock, NC - Photos: 51 - Description: 4 Forty Four New Construction home in the High Country of the Appalachian Mountains - [Ridge Haven](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ridge-haven-pj-vj~7606679) - Location: Boone, NC - Photos: 47 - [Ridge View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ridge-view-pj-vj~7606678) - Location: Boone, NC - Photos: 71 - [Linville Legacy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/linville-legacy-pj-vj~7606671) - Location: Linville, NC - Photos: 61 - [Appalachian Estate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/appalachian-estate-pj-vj~7040781) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 72 - [Forever View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forever-view-pj-vj~7040763) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 50 - [Blue Ridge Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blue-ridge-cottage-pj-vj~7040753) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Blowing Rock Kitchen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/blowing-rock-kitchen-renovation-pj-vj~7040743) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Avery Farmstead](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/avery-farmstead-pj-vj~6842124) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 54 - [Modern Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-ridge-pj-vj~6800974) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 28 - [Chestnut River Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chestnut-river-renovation-pj-vj~6846261) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [1900s Blowing Rock Cabin Restoration](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1900s-blowing-rock-cabin-restoration-pj-vj~7040802) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 36 - [Gretel's Haus](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gretel-s-haus-pj-vj~6396987) - Location: Blowing Rock, NC - Photos: 35 - Description: This cozy cottage features vaulted ceilings with top-lit beams, large north-facing windows, and a central floating fireplace.
