The Carver Group“...making your dreams become reality...”
The placement of the home on the site is the initial step in achieving the overall feel for the project. We begin by utilizing what nature has already provided; rock out-croppings, a view, or that one special tree.
A combination of Tennessee field stone and North Carolina river stone creates the house veneer. Stacked slate creates the window header.
Our mission is to build the finest quality home, utilizing the most up-to-date materials and highly qualified professionals available. We listen attentively to the owner to understand the overall feel or style they are after. Perhaps its reclaimed materials or the newest products on the market. We then put all the pieces together with the attention to detail that sets us apart from the competition. Additionally, our use of green building practices are evident throughout our homes.

We make the building process as painless as possible by first assembling a detailed estimate, by establishing a schedule, and by following throughout construction with a multi-functional management approach. Our twenty–six plus years of experience gives the client a sense of comfort in knowing they are working with seasoned experts. Every home we build is a tribute to wonderful architecture, to the artisans and craftsmen who bring that unique approach to each home and is built to be a long lasting entity for families to enjoy for decades.
………let us add your home to our portfolio of finer statements.
