Impeccable quality, intense focus, great communication, superb scheduling, and most important high moral integrity.  These are just a few of the attributes that best describe Randy Hughes and the people he surrounds himself with.  As an absentee owner, placing trust in someone 600 miles away who you have only met a few times is a leap of faith to be sure.  However, from the day we started working together we realized Randy was indeed the correct choice for our project. Randy has a passion for his projects and exhibits that passion in everything he does.  Whenever you arrive at the jobsite there is no question who is running the project -- he is there every day!  After working closely with Randy I consider him to be a good friend, and I would absolutely build with him again.

Bill Triplett Testimonial

As an architect and manager of a construction company, I had very high expectations for design, process, and execution of our project. Additionally, my wife and I live 1200 miles away from our North Carolina home site and therefore entrusted Randy to adhere to an aggressive schedule, keeping us informed every step of the way. We were very satisfied with the manner in which Randy supervised the work and delighted with the outcome. His hands-on approach, his daily presence on the job site, and his extraordinary commitment to customer service were exemplary. We would recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation, and look forward to working with him again very soon on the second phase of our project.

Working with Randy Hughes was an absolute joy. His dedication, his attention to detail, his expert craftsmanship and his calm, focused demeanor were immensely reassuring. Watching our project come to fruition was such a delightful experience, largely because Randy did what he said he was going to do with expertise, grace and endless good humor. Though we were 1200 miles away during the construction of our project, he kept us well informed every day. And we loved getting to know Bella, the Wonder Dog. I’m convinced she helped with the carpentry.

I bought a small house in Black Mountain that needed to be refurbished. I met Randy Hughes who agreed to do the project. GREAT RESULTS! Randy’s knowledge, talent and integrity made this sad little home come alive. I knew immediately that I wanted Randy to build my new custom home. This project was even better. We worked closely together and I could not have been more pleased with the results. Every detail was taken care of with a great sense of pride and always a sense of humor. Thank you Randy, for a beautiful home and a job well done! P.S. When can we build another one?

I am happy to recommend Randy Hughes of Blue Ridge Mountain Homes to build your home. I can describe Randy in two words, a “practical perfectionist.” Randy pays close attention to all details of construction and the quality of his workmanship is excellent. We are very discriminating and demanding people. We have built two homes and remodeled a new condominium prior to building our mountain home. Randy has exceeded our expectations. Randy goes above and beyond his duties as a general contractor by offering practical advice in design and aesthetics. He was also there to assist us during our move in and after our house was completed. He cares about what he does and has become a great friend.

Selecting a builder is a difficult decision, and we are very happy with the decision we made to have Randy Hughes build our home. Randy is fully committed to making sure the homeowners get what they want in their house, and that it is done right. That commitment continues after the house is completed. He works well with everyone involved, and if a problem did arise, he dealt with it in a way that made it easy for us. He was also very committed to helping us keep our costs under control. I can honestly say that whatever cost overruns we had were the result of our own decisions. Randy did everything he said he would do within the budget and on schedule. We have been in our house for almost a year now, and we love it. We really appreciate the dedication, integrity, and especially the flexibility that Randy demonstrated. The process was actually fun (most of the time) and the end result was spectacular.

I met Randy through our Real Estate agent when we bought our home 4 years ago. Through a few phone conversations, I immediately trusted him to work on the house while we were still in L.A. to do a variety of projects. As a designer, I am very particular to detail and Randy gets it. We were so pleased that we had Randy do the build out of our basement. We then worked with Randy to build Spatheology, Suraj Salon, and then The Spa, Biltmore. Randy understands this level of detail and sophisticated finish work and he allows me some creative “modifications” to make improvements to the project as needed. I will be using Randy to build a custom home for myself in the near future, I trust him and he is my friend.

During the rebuild of the Spa at the Inn on Biltmore Estate we had the pleasure of working with Randy and his team. Randy’s dedication from the onset through to the completion of the project was evident in all areas, even with his subcontractors. He was great at communicating with us and flexible with our needs, which are two assets that are hard to find.
