Sineath Construction is a class act from beginning to end. Their staff, from demolition to carpenters, Steven, and my project manager, Lydia, it was a long (due to my project) but great experience. I recommend this company without hesitation.

We are currently in the building process so no photos of a finished product yet available. However, our field manager, Chris Thrasher is doing an amazing job. He is thoughtful, professional, friendly, extremely competent and has really taken a lot of stress out of this project. I highly recommend him if you decide to build with Sineath.

We had dreams of adding to our smaller log home to accommodate several objectives. After getting a formal design to cover the list of “wants” from architect John Yurko we followed his recommendation to engage Sineath Construction. There were known foundational and structural challenges from the start. Sineath was eager to meet and exceed those along each step of the process. After the project started and we saw the level of detail and commitment they provided we decided to add other areas of the existing house for remodel. Sineath’s size and years in the business allowed them to accommodate changes in scope even-though we were in the midst of pandemic-driven supply chain difficulties. Sineath used their experience and industry “pull” to keep the project moving forward. Through all the inevitable changes and unexpected challenges, Sineath offered options and helped make the decision process clear and gave us an understaffing of the choices. There were several unique issues with adding and changing a log home footprint. Sineath and John Yurko were able to work through the issues to meet the desire. We couldn’t be happier with the results. In the longterm it is quality of work and attention to detail that stands out once the dust has settled and the crews move on. We have a great home. Everyone that has seen it are in agreement about the amazing transformation Sineath Construction provided towards our wonder “new” home!

Sineath Construction, especially Jonathan Platt who managed my project, did a great job with my small bathroom remodel. It took longer than I expected; but, the end result was worth it.

We have been in our new home for two years. Every day I enjoy a beautiful space - built the way we wanted. We used Sineath Construction for two main reasons. We had completed an addition on a previous home with great success, so we engaged themto build our new home. The Sineath team delivered. The built our home on time and on budget. And this was during Covid when materials were hard to source and rising in price. So with two years in the home, everything is working, we have found no issues with any of the work, and are thrilled with the finished product. People ask us if we would do it again. I tell them only if we can work with the Sineath Team. They are the best.

I used Sineath Contruction to remodel a procedure room in my medical office. I would highly recommend them. They were professional, met deadlines and were very communicative. They were also flexible and timely to meet additional needs I requested during the project. I was pleased with the quality of the work.

Common Questions for Custom Home Builders

We welcome and encourage your questions because a custom home, a remodel, or an addition is a big project. Below are some of the most common questions we’re asked and our responses.

Yes, we are well known for building award-winning custom homes, turning your plans into thoughtful, delightful, and comfortable spaces that fulfill your vision for your home. As fourth-generation builders and named Builder of the Year 2020 by the Asheville Home Builders Association, our experience as custom home builders in and around Asheville, including communities like Mountain Air, Town Mountain Preserve, and Montreat, offers unprecedented value and advantage to our clients.

We do whole home renovations, kitchen and bath renovations, and outdoor living space renovations. Adding onto a home is often a part of the renovation work as well). We also help business owners renovate and update their workspace, such as doctors’ offices, retail stores, and veterinary offices. Check out some of our renovation work here on our portfolio.

We will be glad to speak with you about remodeling your kitchen. Our ability to take on single-room renovations depends on our staff and project capacity at the time, so it’s best to connect with us to see what’s possible. In fact, we recently completed this award-winning kitchen renovation.

The time it takes to build a new custom home or renovate a house or kitchen is truly project-specific, and it often depends on the project size and budget. Part of our process is to provide and manage a comprehensive schedule based on milestones during construction. This schedule ensures there is a clear understanding of the scope of work and where we are in the build process. From our perspective, it’s important to us that clients have schedule and cost transparency. Learn more about our process including setting the timeline.

Short answer: Yes. You need house plans to build a custom home, and you can get house plans from a variety of places. You can work with an architect to draw house plans based on your unique vision for your home, or you can purchase construction-ready house plans online or from us. Many clients have scoured the internet to find the perfect house plans, and we made a few customizations to the plans so that the home was truly unique to them. We have a small library of house plans that you’re welcome to review.

If your goal is to build a dream home that is truly a unique reflection of your style and preferences for how you want your home to look and function, then working with an architect is the best way to achieve that goal. It’s also important to bring us into the design process so that we can help align your dream with your preferred budget. Our goal is to build your vision on time and on budget, and collaboration between your architect and us is a key component to success.

The cost to build a custom home varies widely depending upon materials costs and the size of the home, with the cost-per-square-foot starting at about $400 and exceeding $2,000 per square foot in some instances. Whether a custom home is more expensive to build, it’s really a matter of perspective and your budget. What really matters is realistic expectations of what you can do within your preferred budget. We do our best to steward your budget as if it were our own, and that’s why it is important to bring us while designing the home. We want you to have all of the bells and whistles, too, in your custom home, and we do our best to guide how to do that within your budget.

Many of our clients chose to invest with cash to build their custom home, while others choose to obtain a construction loan. We recommend speaking to your financial advisor to determine which way makes the best financial sense for you. We can’t speak for other Asheville custom home builders, but our clients have complete transparency into the cost of building a custom home. They approve every estimate and can follow the numbers in our project management system. We do it this way to prevent surprises and to ensure we’re building your vision on budget and on time.

That’s a great question, and more people should ask it. Many people think it is as simple as buying some land, buying house plans, and then getting to work building the home. In reality, the construction process is fairly complex with a number of key steps and important milestones. When working with us, you can expect a partner in your vision. Our goal is to build your dream home, and partnering with your architect and your interior designer make that possible. You can also expect consistent, proactive communication from us about status, decisions to make, and schedule shifts. As part of the process, we provide a detailed timeline, regular progress updates and photos, and regular budget updates.

We can give you a ballpark of costs to build your project at no cost to you to make sure your project is possible. Once we agree to move forward together, we will provide a much more detailed, construction-ready, and transparent cost estimate. To learn more about what it's like to work with us, and our estimates, watch our client Kitty’s testimonial.
