Driven by a passion for building client relationships and meticulous attention to detail, we have a reputation for building exceptional custom homes and exceeding our clients' expectations. In 2007 John Judd Sr. and John Judd Jr. had a clear vision for Judd Builders: build trust, treat clients with the utmost respect, integrity in all that they do, unquestionable value and superior craftsmanship. Fifteen years later this vision drives everything that we do. As a family-owned company, we take pride in treating clients and employees like family. Judd Builders's attention to quality and craftsmanship is unsurpassed. That’s why we dedicate ourselves to a limited number of custom homes, remodels and commercial projects in Western NC, Eastern TN, and Upstate SC each year. This allows us to build homes with distinction, unquestionable value, and superior craftsmanship. Many Asheville NC home builders will tell you their quality is superb but very few have an in-house crew of professionals dedicated to only their projects. Most Asheville builders sub out their work which gives them less quality control and it shows in their final product. We are committed to our employees and value their commitment and hard work. If you're looking for home builders in Asheville, NC look no further. We have an Unlimited Contractor's License, an A+ rating with the BBB, and a Google 5 star rating. As Asheville and Hendersonville custom home builders, we work closely with our clients to ensure every detail and feature of their new home is tailored to their family’s lifestyle and needs. Our reputation for quality craftsmanship is a result of more than 40 years of combined experience as custom home builders. We employ 25 craftsmen and craftswomen that are dedicated to our projects and only our projects. This gives us an advantage over other Asheville and Hendersonville custom home builders who rely heavily on subcontractors. Clients get to know our employees and gain an understanding of why they are the most talented and professional in Western North Carolina. ### Services Provided - New Home Construction - Custom Homes - Home Remodeling - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Energy-Efficient Homes - Multigenerational Homes - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Green Building - Project Management - Pool House Design & Construction - Garage Building - House Framing - Home Restoration - Barn Design & Construction - Sustainable Design - Historic Building Conservation - Site Planning - Demolition - Log Home Construction - Storm Shelter Construction - Custom Home ### Areas Served - Asheville - Hendersonville - Arden - Black Mountain - Fletcher - Brevard - Etowah - Mills River - Royal Pines - Swannanoa - Weaverville - Mountain Home - Dana - Fairview - Flat Rock - Avery Creek - Edneyville - Fruitland - Horse Shoe - Biltmore Forest - Hoopers Creek - Bent Creek - Tryon - Balfour - Bat Cave - Biltmore Park - Candler - Enka - Naples - Skyland ### Typical Job Cost $500,000 - 5 million We build all sizes and styles of homes ranging from modern mountain homes to luxury farmhouses.

Although the cost and availability of land precluded us from entering into a contract with Judd Builders, the time they spent with us + their building process were exceptional, professional, and always helpful. We recommend Judd Builders as a first stop for building needs in the Asheville area. **Comment from Judd Builders:** > Thank you for your review. We enjoyed meeting with you and are here for you if you need us in the future! **★★★★★ — HU-617656649, July 2021** > We've been in our home for 9 years. We're still very happy with it. It's everything we wanted. We love being here. But there was one very difficult problem. That problem demonstrates John Judd's dedication and the honor of his word. > > After living in the house for a few years, the remnants of a hurricane came through the area, bringing prolonged strong winds and heavy rain. We discovered a leak when our Master Bedroom ceiling sheetrock developed a wet spot. We traced the water to an attic. It was coming from somewhere around the chimney. > > John assured us he would fix it. John's team found a spot which might have been the problem and repaired it. They also repaired the bedroom sheetrock. We thought it was done. > > A couple of years later, another bad storm with long-lasting, heavy, wind-driven rain, water in the attic. Apparently the prior suspect was not the problem. > > John again assured us he would find the problem and fix it. Despite his people spending days searching inside and out of the entire chimney and the surrounding roof, no one found anything to cause a leak. John also called in three of the better area roofing contractors to search. They didn't find it. Thinking it might be an unlikely cause of water seeping through the mortar between the bricks, he sprayed the entire chimney to seal it. > > Well, another storm a couple of years later. > > But John wasn't going to let this get the better of him. He removed all the chimney bricks, sealed it again, and covered it with rock. He had the chimney flashing replaced and expanded plus the entire roof on that side of the house de-shingled, inspected, and covered with new shingles. During that process, they found no evidence of the leak origin. But we've had no water in the attic since. > > I cannot speak highly enough for John Judd and his company. They spent LOTS of money to resolve our roof problem. But that's the way John is. When he gives his word, he stands by it. > > Comparing our warranty work experience on this house with previous new homes I've bought, we had problems getting even simple warranty work done. In one, we had to threaten taking the builder to court to get a significant problem fixed. > > The typical homebuilder may warrant items for a year or so. I've never heard of anyone whose builder continued to work on a long-term problem until it was resolved - 7 years in our case. To deal with a leak after so much time, a typical or even good builder would likely say it's the homeowner's responsibility. > > I dare anyone to produce another builder who would voluntarily go to that effort in fixing our problem. > > It took a lot of patience on our part, but we had confidence that John would keep working the problem until it was resolved. > > Another important aspect is John's continuing support. I can call him with any question about the house. He'll answer it or help where he can. > > If I were to rank John on a scale from 1 to 5, I'd give him a 10 without hesitation. > > In my opinion, John Judd is clearly the best. **★★★★★ — HU-732450029, July 2021** > We purchased a new home where Judd was the builder. The quality was top notch in every aspect. There were a few items that we needed help with and they were always super responsive and helped resolve the issues immediately. Great customer service and very skilled at everything they do. Very highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Lester Blackwell, April 2020** > I have worked with the Judd's for over 10 years. They are very honest and reliable company. Judd always put their customers first. I will have to say it has been my pleasure working along side them. **Comment from Judd Builders:** > Thanks for your review, Lester! We enjoy working with you and your team. **★★★★★ — Kelly D, Feb. 2019** > Judd Builders recently completed a large scale remodel on our home and their work was nothing short of stellar. From the beginning, Judd Builders were very customer focused and professional. Working with John Judd Jr. and his team was a pleasure from start to finish. They were extremely prompt, professional, and thorough. We found them to be very accessible and prompt with responses and follow-up. The entire team was very accommodating to us throughout the remodel project. Their work was impeccable and their attention to detail was second to none. We would not hesitate to use Judd Builders again, and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a residential construction project. **★★★★★ — Casey Kersten, Jan. 2019** > We couldn’t have been happier with our experience with Judd Builders. They were fairly priced, informative, and extremely hard-working. They showed up bright and early and even worked in the rain to get our outdoor foundation project done. They kept us updated every step of the way and even came in under budget, which is just mind blowing to me. I would strongly recommend Judd Builders. **Comment from Judd Builders:** > Thank you for the review. We enjoy working with you and look forward to the next project! **★★★★★ — Frank Harrington, Dec. 2018** > John and his team did an amazing job on my custom home in Bristol , Tennessee. There are many impressive homes in this development and the consensus is that the home built by the Judds is easily the most beautiful. I liked many things about working with the Judds and their team, but one of particular note is their responsiveness and ability to communicate with modern technology such as emails and text messages. **Comment from Judd Builders:** > Thanks for the review! We're glad to hear you're happy. **★★★★★ — Sapna Hayes, Sept. 2018** > From first meeting to the final touches on our remodel, Judd Builders were stellar! Jerry Banks, the lead contractor, kept us in the loop at all times via email, photos, texts while we were at work/out of town. His timely orchestration of the entire project... Coordination of specialized teams, working around rain delays. Inspections, and any changes we (I) made, etc., was done with genuine thought and care. Jerry’s input and design modification suggestions were succinct and wise. Every detail of our front porch remodel from stonework, fireplace with chimney, cedar beams, tongue and groove ceiling, flooring, stucco, lighting and even a new roof (last minute decision, roofers arrived next day) was done seamlessly. > -Customer Service never compromised. > -Service before self....always. > -Judd Builders have an amazing crew (professional, pleasant, focused on job at hand). > -Specialized hired tradesmen were handpicked to work for Judd Builders. > -Confident and proud to stand behind their work. > Since completion of our front porch (“living room”), we’ve had tons of inquiries from neighbors and friends and have referred them on to Judd. > Thank you so much Judd Builders, especially Jerry, for understanding and creating our awesome new living space! > Sapna and Sam H. **Comment from Judd Builders:** > Sapna, thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We appreciated your flexibility during the project and I'm pretty sure it was one of Jerry's favorite ones. Let us know if we can help in any way in the future! Enjoy your new porch! **★★★★★ — Connie Watson, Aug. 2018** > We could not have picked a better company than Judd Builders for an extensive renovation on an old condo we bought. The place was completely gutted and transformed. While it took longer and cost more than we had originally planned, we could not be happier with the final results. Despite ours being a renovation and not an elaborate new construction, John Judd was with us every step of the way. His thoughts and suggestions helped make our new home something really special and all who have seen it have raved about it. All of the work was top notch and no short cuts taken. All of his workers were very helpful and friendly anytime we needed something. Any problems we had after moving in, which were very few, John took care of immediately, even if they really weren't his responsibility. We trusted John and his crew to make decisions for us at times since we were living 400 miles away and only visited periodically. We have not looked at one thing that we would have done differently and are excited to spend our remaining days in this beautiful "new" home. **Comment from Judd Builders:** > Connie & George, thank you for your review. We enjoyed working for you and continue to enjoy the friendship that was formed during the project. Don't ever hesitate to call us if you need something! **★★★★★ — James From Chicago, March 2018** > I wish I could give JUDD Builders 6 stars! > In 2017, when we were concluding a 5-1/2 year, 7 state search for a new retirement home, we narrowed it down to searching for home builders in Asheville, NC and Buncombe County. > Ultimately we decided on a custom home in Black Mountain, Arts & Crafts, identified two possibilities by location and selected Judd Builders. > Over our lifetime, we have built several custom homes in NY, FL and owned 10 homes in 5 states. > > Judd won, exceeding our expectations, and here is why: > > Locally owned - Family operated, Values their reputation for being best in class with action, not just words! Something we did not experience from others. > Design - 2 story, efficient to heat / cool / maintain. > Floor plan - open space, high ceilings, efficient use of square footage on a low maintenance small lot, excellent site preparation and landscaping, finished 2 car garage. > Workmanship - fit and finish excellent. > Quality and uniqueness of materials - Red Oak flooring, beautiful cabinets, energy efficient heat pump. appliances, lights, windows, etc etc.. > Responsiveness after the sale, Judd and their subs take pride in their workmanship / materials and readily adjusted some very minor issues we encountered. > Values their reputation for being best in class. > James & Courtney > Black Mountain, NC **★★★★★ — Advance Cabinetry, Feb. 2016** > Judd Builders is a great company that we have been blessed to work with. John Sr. and Jr. are top notch and have a great team of experienced craftsman. Whether it's a small bathroom remodel or a custom home, Judd Builders will do a great job and handle every detail of the project. They have a great approach that allows a team of skilled trades to work with them regularly and understand the quality they demand. We will continue to recommend Judd Builders to our clients, family, and friends. **★★★★★ — Carolina Timberworks, Sept. 2015** > Carolina Timberworks recently collaborated with Judd Builders on a major renovation–part of which involved a new Douglas Fir timber frame pavilion designed by Platt Architecture. Quite frankly, we enjoyed the entire process, from start-to-finish. Getting to know, and work with, John Sr. was a genuine pleasure. > > If you'd like to learn more about the pavilion we collaborated on, you might enjoy a 4 minute video called "Crane Day: Raising a Timber Frame" on our website at www.carolinatimberworks.com/videos ## Selected projects - [Merrill's Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/merrill-s-ridge-pj-vj~7684350) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 99 - [The Boulders - Henderdersonville, NC](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-boulders-henderdersonville-nc-pj-vj~7509137) - Location: Hendersonville, NC - Photos: 18 - [Bridgewater Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bridgewater-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7419503) - Location: Fletcher, NC - Photos: 33 - [Powder Springs Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/powder-springs-custom-home-pj-vj~7393260) - Location: Arden, NC - Photos: 45 - [Elegant Biltmore Forest Whole Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-biltmore-forest-whole-home-remodel-pj-vj~7351390) - Location: Biltmore Forest, NC - Photos: 60 - [South Asheville Modern Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-asheville-modern-farmhouse-pj-vj~7054271) - Location: Arden, NC - Photos: 74 - [2022 Parade of Homes - Pisgah View Modern Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2022-parade-of-homes-pisgah-view-modern-custom-home-pj-vj~7049823) - Location: Mills River, NC - Photos: 87 - Description: Mountain modern home in the Farm at Mills River south of Asheville, NC completed by Judd Builders in 2022.
