Living Stone Design + Build

From the time we were introduced to Living Stone, through our current participation in their Preventative Maintenance & Custom Care Program, we have seen our expectations, and their promises, consistently delivered upon. Sean and his Team are exceptional, and Michael B is the best!! Thank you all for a home that we love!!

Besides building us a great house in the 2017-2018 timeframe, I want to comment on some of the built-in features that I didn't fully realize. We decided to have solar panels and a PowerWall 3 installed at our Living Stone house. As the installation company has done their site inspections and installation, they’ve been very complimentary on the readiness of our house for solar installation. In particular they mentioned the spare conduit going from the electrical box up to the garage attic. And also the fact that the electrical box was already split into two zones on the back end with a tie bar — making it very easy for them to do what they need to do. They said I had the best house for solar that they'd ever seen (although some of that may have to do with our southern exposure!). I am very grateful to Living Stone for the forward-looking "Net Zero Ready" design features you put into your home builds — thanks!

I do work for hundred if not thousands of contractors and I can honestly say that Livingstone lives up to their reputation!! From the initial estimating process to the final punch list they are organized all the way thru. I am not a customer but a sub and they make sure to keep the schedule moving along so the subs can do their jobs effectively and efficiently. This makes the process for the homeowners a much smoother job and allows the subs to do their work easily. This is rare to find in a contractor and you should know you will be in good hands with these guys. Great group of people that build wonderful homes!!

As a design firm only, we at MossCreek rely on builders to help our clients realize their new home dreams. Living Stone has worked with us and our clients on several projects now, and each experience has been a pleasure. With an attention to detail that is second to none, we know that Living Stone's execution of our design will always be exactly what we created for a client. Even before the building process starts, Living Stone brings their knowledge of building know-how and skill to the design phase. Oftentimes we are working on projects with challenging build sites, and we can always rely on Living Stone and their team to help us navigate through both physical and regulatory constraints. Once a home is started, Living Stone is in constant communication with us and our clients throughout the construction. We can, and often do, sincerely recommend Living Stone to clients, and we so appreciate the work they do to ensure a successful and enjoyable outcome with every home.

Living Stone is building my house now. I am impressed with their communication (weekly with my superintendent), the construction and the integrity of everyone involved in my house. I’ve also learned a lot about bears in the mountains of NC! Sean and his team are great. They are always willing to take the time to meet with me and no question is unanswered. I have always been treated with the utmost respect.

We had a wonderful experience building Living Stone, and would highly recommend them to anyone building in the area. Sean and team has the highest of integrity, experience, skill, and process. We love our new home, and are so thankful we partnered with such a great builder!

I cannot say enough about the ownership, staff and quality of product built by the Living Stone Design + Build team. We enjoyed working with everyone and always knew we could trust them to build our house and knew that their product would be excellent. I highly recommend Sean at Living Stone and his great team for your mountain home needs. I believe you will find that they are committed to constructing a home for you as if it was their own.

It's always great to work with Sean and his team and can expect amazing projects to shoot each time I work with him. His team has an amazing level of attention to detail and would highly recommend him.

Sean and his team at Living Stone Construction are awesome! I highly recommend them. Work is superior and people are "family"!

After living in another home in Asheville for three years, I decided to built in a more accessible location. As I was looking at lots, I met Warren and Carol Strittmatter, who graciously invited me in to see their Living Stone home. Their place was so beautiful and detailed, that I immediately knew I was going to use Living Stone as my builder. Little did I know what a pleasant home building experience it would turn out to be. My home is everything I wanted and asked for. The process was a dream compared to my previous building experience. The assignment of a designer from Living Stone partner IDology was invaluable in helping with selection of lighting, cabinetry, tile, paint and even the placement of my furniture. Each of the contractors was top notch, polite, and accommodating. My superintendent was caring to the nth degree and made sure the process ran smoothly, giving me frequent updates, when I was out of the area. Living Stone attention to detail and to their customer needs is superb and beyond compare. I would recommend them to anyone considering building in Western North Carolina.

We highly recommend Living Stone Construction. The quality of their work is excellent. Mike Bates was our building superintendent, and he and the other employees were very knowledgable about all aspects of building a new home in the mountains. He communicated very well about the project, and always responded very promptly to any questions. The timeline was quite accurate after a delayed start. We exceeded our initial budget by a significant amount, but costs were clearly stated and it was our decision to make the upgrades. We did not use their landscaper other than for drainage work. Otherwise we took full advantage of their professional partners, particularly IDology, which rates a separate top-rated review. We had not particularly wanted to build, but did not find a house we wanted to buy and Living Stone Construction made the process of building as easy as possible. We are finding the house to be very functional as well as beautiful. We would definitely hire Living Stone Construction again.
