FROM OUR CLIENTS

Wow! The house looks great! With the help of the architect I had already chosen, I interviewed several builders. Buchanan seemed to have all the qualities we wanted. In the middle of the project I came to value them more. The finish carpenters are phenomenal. In fact, all the Buchanan team are very skilled. But maybe their most impressive attributes were a willingness to see my vision of the house, and use some people that I brought in from outside. They were never so possessive of the project that it made you wonder “whose house is this?” As we rushed to get in by Christmas, everyone went way above and beyond. This house is exactly what I saw in my mind’s eye

ROY & WANDA WILLIAMS

“Buchanan Construction was selected to be the builder of the 2020 Southern Living Idea House. As a member of our Custom Builder Program, we knew they would provide the quality craftsmanship that would be needed for this caliber of a home. They far surpassed my expectations, were accommodating and professional throughout the entire project and were able to deliver a stunning magazine worthy home…. all during a pandemic! If you are building in the Asheville area, I would highly recommend Buchanan Construction. “
