Living Stone Design + Build

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.

Sean Sullivan and his group are the most professional and pleasant builders I have the had the pleasure of working with. They go to great lengths to determine what their customers want (and their budget requirements). Then they do everything possible to "under sell and over deliver". Sean is an exceptional builder that delivers and exceptional home. Gary Thompson, Thompson Windows

Great contractor! Very professional, highest quality, always environmentally friendly. Highest integrity. Great customer service. Honest and good communicator. Uses only latest technology.

We are using Livingstone to build our mountain getaway home in the Southcliff community in Asheville, NC. Livingstone has been outstanding and we haven't yet finalized our plans. Sean (President) personally inspected a number of potential lot choices and provided an honest assessment of "buildability". He then evaluated the site plan and survey. He referred us to an excellent architect, and he has remained a big part of the process. He is now pricing the project. We are so pleased to deal with an honest and professional builder and can't wait until we break ground.

I am an architect and have, over the last several years, developed a working relationship with the people at Livingstone Construction. I can proudly recommend them to others based on there honestly, clear communications, commitment to quality construction/service. They are friendly and kind as well, which makes the whole process of building a home more enjoyable.

They have completed building our new home. They are a delight to deal with. Have had past experience having built 5 new homes. Honest, always look out for your best interest, willing to try new things. Their subs are top notch. Would highly !!! recommend them.

Livingstone Construction is one of the more important relationships in our lives, as is the relation to anyone who builds the home you will live in for the next forever. We met LSC because they happened to be the builders of several of the model homes in a development we wanted to live in: we picked the house, and LSC happened to be the builders. We usually “Google” and investigate and interview and canvas previous customers and have the FBI and NSA investigate and give reports on businesses or products we’re interested. Especially on something as big as house. We loved the house, we met Sean Sullivan and his immediate team, and our gut instincts said “Go for it.” Thank God we did. Our previous experience building a home was in the Caribbean. I will only say that experience and final product was less than stellar. Beautiful, yes, but I wish… You know the rest. LSC combines the extremes of professionalism and family-style into the perfect blend. They produce a product that is as smooth and easy as an ice cream smoothie. A project booklet is produced with expected completion levels and expense projections that have been right on. The team meetings that include everyone from the site manager to the decorator enables LSC to stay organized and keep us involved and informed. A minimum of weekly telephone updates with online photos of the progress is provided. The schedule LSC provides has built into it cushions for weather delays, and every attempt is made to remain on time. From our previous bad experience, we were initially a little anxious and we had frequent questions and needed extra soothing along the way. LSC handled our unnecessary concerns promptly and politely. LSC is a family-and-friend run business. As a client, we’ve been made to feel like members of the group. The quality of work performed has been excellent. Frank Turchi, the site supervisor has been on top of every aspect of every subcontracted work done. We certainly wish Living Stone Construction could have built our island home. I would easily build another house if LSC was at the helm. I couldn’t recommend them any higher. Richard Sefcik, D.V.M. Janice Sefcik, CCC-Sp
