Commercial Contractors Serving the Asheville Area
11 local businesses listed
Commercial construction in Asheville runs into constraints that don’t come up elsewhere in the state. Downtown sites are tight, often historic, and frequently involve adapting a building that was put up for a completely different purpose — which is how a warehouse becomes a brewery and a department store becomes apartments. Outside the core, the constraint shifts to grade and access.
The firms listed here work in Asheville and Weaverville on ground-up construction, tenant build-outs, and renovation, for clients ranging from restaurants and retail to institutional and healthcare projects.
If you’re doing a build-out, involve a contractor before you sign the lease. The space that looks perfect can carry hidden costs — inadequate power, no grease duct path, an accessibility upgrade triggered by the change of use — and those are much easier to negotiate with a landlord before you’ve committed than after.
Ask for references from projects of your type and size. Commercial experience isn’t transferable across categories the way it looks on a website.

WNC Roofing, LLC
WNC Roofing is a commercial and industrial roofing contractor based in Fletcher, working across Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. They don't do residential work — the whole operation is built around low-slope commercial roofs, which is a genuinely different trade from shingling a house. Services cover replacement, repair, inspections, and ongoing maintenance programs, along with roof coatings and restoration for buildings where a full tear-off isn't the right call yet. They also handle gutters, downspouts, waterproofing, metal wall panels, and prep work for solar installs. The company is OSHA and ISN certified, holds an unlimited license in both Carolinas, and works on fixed-price proposals rather than open-ended estimates. They've been at it more than a decade and say they've worked with over 1,000 businesses across the region. Beyond Asheville, they cover Hendersonville, Marion, and Hickory in North Carolina, plus Greenville, Spartanburg, Greer, Inman, and Landrum on the South Carolina side.

Asheville Elevator Co., Inc.
Asheville Elevator Co. has been installing and servicing elevators from Caribou Road since 1957 — coming up on 70 years in the same market. They work both commercial buildings and private homes, which is the part homeowners tend not to know exists locally. Residential elevators and lifts come up in two situations around here: aging in place in a two-story house, and steep mountain lots where the garage sits a full level below the living space. The company handles installation, modernization of older equipment, maintenance contracts, and repair. They're a member of the National Association of Elevator Contractors and run a sister company, Mathis Electronics, for specialized repair work. The office keeps business hours, with phone service available 24/7 for entrapments and breakdowns. Service area is Western North Carolina.

Associated Builders
Associated Builders is a full-service residential design-build company on Kanuga Road in Hendersonville, run by Cameron Kilpatrick with more than twenty years in the trade. Design-build means the drawings and the construction sit under one contract, which tends to work in the mountains where the site itself drives so much of the design. They will also walk a property with you before you buy it — land selection consulting is part of what they offer, and on a steep Henderson County lot that advice is worth having early rather than late. Alongside custom homes they take on full commercial build-outs. Work spans Western North Carolina.

Clark & Leatherwood, Inc.
Clark & Leatherwood is a commercial construction firm on Industrial Park Drive in Waynesville, working Western North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and East Tennessee. The service list is structured around how a project is delivered rather than what type of building it is: preconstruction consulting, program and project management, construction management, design-build, and general construction. That is the vocabulary of a firm used to institutional and municipal owners who need the delivery method decided before the drawings exist. This is not a residential builder. If you are an owner, a developer, or a nonprofit with a building to put up, they are the right kind of call.

DLV Roofing Systems, Inc.
DLV Roofing Systems runs its Western North Carolina operation from Brandy Branch Road in Mills River. President Pete De La Vega is a third-generation roofer and founded the company in 1999; the firm counts more than 200 years of combined experience across its crews. They are a **Certified CertainTeed Premier Installer** and a CertainTeed Select ShingleMaster, GAF certified, BBB accredited, and NAHB members — a stack of credentials that matters mostly because the top-tier manufacturer certifications unlock longer workmanship warranties than a standard installer can write. Residential work covers replacement, repair, and maintenance, plus siding, windows, doors, and skylights. They are a licensed general contractor and take commercial roofing as well. Additional offices in Charleston, SC and Indianapolis, IN.

Tennoca Construction Company
Tennoca Construction has operated from Smoky Park Highway in Candler since 1978, founded by Mark T. Goodson and grown across more than forty years. This is heavy civil work rather than home services — water, sewer, and storm drain systems, highway construction, and commercial site development. The residential side of it is subdivision infrastructure: the roads, utilities, and drainage that go in before any houses do. Worth knowing if you are developing a parcel rather than remodeling a kitchen. They work for both public and private clients across Western North Carolina and the Raleigh-Durham area.

From the beginning to the end of your project, Vannoy Construction is right along side you demonstrating the 4-H’s we live and work by.
Waterrock Construction
Waterrock Construction works both sides of the trade from Waynesville: custom homes on the residential side, general contracting on the commercial side, across Western North Carolina. Founder Patrick has been in construction since 2010. The company holds an NC Unlimited Building License (107020) and is licensed in Tennessee as well, so the ceiling on project size is set by the schedule rather than by the license. They will run a job as design-build or design-bid-build, and offer construction management and consulting as separate engagements. That last one is useful if you already have a builder and want someone independent reading the contract and the draw schedule.
