Years Of Experience
Your Mountain Legacy Built With Master Craftsmanship
Skip Ruckle has been a licensed contractor in Western North Carolina since 2005, building everything from growing families' first custom homes to luxury mountain retreats for retirees from across the country. We do not just build houses, we create homes that stand the test of time in the challenging terrain of the Asheville area. From complex basement foundations to panoramic views, we handle every detail with thirty years of local expertise.

The Weight Of
Contractor Uncertainty
Building a custom home is often the largest investment of your life, and it's natural to worry about hidden costs, delays, or working with a builder who disappears after signing the contract. We understand those fears because we've heard them from clients for over 30 years and we've built our business on eliminating them.
You should not have to wonder if your project is a priority. We believe the building process should be a source of joy, not a source of anxiety.
A Guide You Can
Actually Reach
Skip Ruckle is personally involved in every project from the first handshake to the final walkthrough. You will never be handed off to a project manager who does not know your name. We offer a level of accessibility that is rare in this industry, including 24/7 availability for your questions and concerns.
