Contractors in Candler, NC
Candler is west Buncombe County, spread along Smoky Park Highway and up the hollows off it toward Enka and Hominy Creek. It’s less subdivided than the south end of the county, with more houses on acreage and more properties on well and septic rather than city utilities.
That shapes what’s here. The Candler list runs heavily to the systems side of a house — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, waterproofing and foundation repair, excavation, drywall, fencing, roofing, and home inspection — rather than the finish trades that cluster in Arden.
Two things come up repeatedly on properties out this way. First, water: a lot of these houses sit at the bottom of a slope with a crawlspace that has been damp for years, which is why waterproofing and foundation repair show up as often as they do. Second, access. If your driveway is long, steep, or gravel, say so when you call — it changes what equipment a company can bring and whether a delivery truck can get up it at all.
If you’re on a well, put water testing on the list any time you buy or after any work on the supply line.

Open Monday through Friday, long days, closed weekends. No website — call for an estimate.

Pisgah Pest Control
Pisgah Pest Control has been family-owned since 1967 and runs its Asheville-area office on Smokey Park Highway in Candler, with additional offices in Brevard, Hendersonville, Sapphire, and Waynesville. Residential coverage comes in three tiers, and there is a separate commercial program. Termites are handled through Sentricon baiting rather than a liquid barrier alone — worth asking about if you are comparing quotes, because the two approaches have different renewal costs and different disruption to your yard. Carpenter bees get their own mention on the service list, which is a fair reflection of the region. Anyone with exposed cedar, pine trim, or an unpainted deck rail will meet them every spring. Nearly sixty years in the same market is unusual in this trade. Ask about the termite warranty terms and whether the coverage transfers if you sell.

RootWise Landscape Solutions, LLC
RootWise Landscape Solutions works out of Luther Cove Road in Candler, handling design, installation, and maintenance for residential and commercial properties across the Asheville area. The emphasis is on sustainable practice — preserving what an outdoor space already has rather than clearing and starting over. On a wooded Candler lot with mature trees and existing grade, that is usually the cheaper approach as well as the better-looking one. Services run from full landscape design and planting through retaining walls and ongoing lawn maintenance.

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.
