Custom Home Builder
in Asheville, NC
“Your vision, our craftsmanship” — from site selection through final walkthrough.
Building Custom Homes Across Western North Carolina
A custom home should reflect the way you actually live — not a floor plan designed for someone else. At Blue Ridge Homes, owner Brian Barrett has spent over 30 years helping families in Asheville and the surrounding mountain communities turn raw land into homes that fit their landscape, their lifestyle, and their long-term goals.
Every Phase, One Point of Contact
We handle the entire build from start to finish. Site evaluation, permitting through Buncombe County, Henderson County, or the City of Asheville, subcontractor coordination, quality inspections at every stage, and regular walkthroughs to keep you informed.
Owner on Every Jobsite
Brian personally oversees every project from foundation to final punch list.
Licensed and in Good Standing Since 2004
Licensed as NC General Contractor #56328 since 2004, in good standing with the state Licensing Board. That standing comes from setting realistic expectations and following through on every promise.
Fully Insured, Fully Vetted
We require all subcontractors to carry liability and workers’ comp insurance. We carry builder’s risk insurance on every active jobsite.
Built for Mountain Living
Western North Carolina is not flat suburban land. Mountain lots bring grading challenges, setback requirements, soil conditions, and weather exposure.
With over 1,000 building inspections behind us, we understand what local inspectors expect. From modern mountain retreats and timber-and-stone family homes to energy-efficient ICF builds, every project is tailored to its site and its owners.
Our service area covers Asheville and Buncombe County, Henderson County, and Haywood County. If you have land and a vision, we would love to talk about what is possible.
What We Build
Every home we build is different because every family is different. We’ve built everything from compact mountain cottages to expansive estate homes — always with the same attention to detail and the same hands-on management.
Craftsman and Traditional
Stone, timber, and covered porches that feel at home in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Modern and Contemporary
Clean lines, walls of glass, and open floor plans that bring the outdoors in.
ICF Construction
Insulated concrete form builds with a continuous insulated envelope and no thermal bridging through studs. We’ve been building with ICF since 2006.
We build custom homes in Asheville and Weaverville, with a closer look at what building in each involves. We also build in Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Mills River, Brevard, and throughout Western North Carolina.
