Biltmore Forest's Award Winning Deck and Renovation Contractor
As experienced Asheville builders, we know that adding a custom deck or porch is one of the best ways to enjoy mountain living in Biltmore Forest, North Carolina.
A well-built outdoor space gives you more room to relax, entertain, and take in the mountain views while adding value to your home.
What We Build in Biltmore Forest
Custom Decks
We build premium composite and cedar decks for Biltmore Forest homes, designed to meet the town's architectural standards. Biltmore Forest homeowners expect exceptional craftsmanship and materials that complement the character of their home and the Biltmore Estate surroundings.
Every deck gets joist tape, double flashing, and screw-only fastening, plus custom trim details that reflect the quality expected in this exclusive community.
Screened Porches
Screened porches add living space while respecting Biltmore Forest's design aesthetic. We design them to complement your home's architecture and the community character. We handle the full design, permitting, framing, screening, roofing, and electrical work.
The Biltmore Forest architectural committee reviews designs carefully, and we know how to present designs that pass review.
Covered Porches
A covered porch extends your living space year-round on a Biltmore Forest property. We design them in materials and styles that fit the community. Biltmore Forest gets 47+ inches of rain a year, so proper roof design, drainage, and flashing are critical.
We handle every detail with the precision that Biltmore Forest properties demand.
Garages
Custom detached garages, expanded attached garages, and garage conversions. We build Biltmore Forest garages that meet the town's design standards while maximizing functionality. High-end finishes, quality materials, and attention to detail are standard for us.
Biltmore Forest properties often need custom solutions to fit the site and home design.
Basement Finishing
The Biltmore Forest area has walkout basements that most homeowners don't fully use. We finish them into living space, home offices, rental units, and media rooms. We handle framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and flooring.
Lee Pegram holds the NC General Contractor license, so we pull the permits and manage every trade.
Home Additions
Room additions, second-story additions, and complete renovations. We have won awards for work of this caliber. Every addition starts with design development, architectural review preparation, and site assessment.
We know how to integrate additions with existing homes and meet Biltmore Forest's strict design standards.

Why Biltmore Forest Homeowners Choose Pegram Builders
Builder-Led, Not Sales-Led
Lee Pegram started this company in 2013 after getting laid off with a newborn at home. He started doing odd jobs, kept growing, and brought on his partner Zeke.
Twelve years and 500+ projects later, they still run every project the same way: the builder leads, not a salesman. Your estimator knows framing, footings, and fasteners because he has done the work.
NADRA Certified Deck Builders
Seth and Jason are both NADRA Deck Evaluation and Inspection Certified. NADRA is the North American Deck and Railing Association.
That certification means they know current codes, load requirements, and material specs. Most deck builders in Asheville do not carry this certification.
We Actually Answer the Phone
Multiple Google reviews mention this specifically. Call (828) 776-5020 during business hours and you will talk to a real person.
Jason and Seth manage projects. Autumn coordinates the office. You get direct cell numbers for your project manager on day one.
Quality Techniques
We use joist tape on every deck. It costs about $200 more per project, but we have never had a joist failure on any deck we have built since 2016. We use double flashing at every wall connection.
We use screw-only fastening. No nails. And we use picture frame trim boards for a clean finished edge. A lot of builders skip all of that.
1 Year Workmanship Warranty
We stand behind our work with a 1 year workmanship warranty. Materials carry manufacturer warranties that we pass through to you.
Fixed Pricing, No Surprises
What we quote is what you pay. No change orders unless you change the scope.
We give you a written contract with a fixed price before any work starts. Lee has said he would rather lose a job than mislead a homeowner on cost.
Award-Winning Work
2019 Pace Award for Best Outdoor Living Space. 2022 Stars Award for Best Addition Over $100,000. Both awarded by the Builders Association of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are also members of Asheville Go Local.

What Makes Building in Biltmore Forest Different
Biltmore Forest is an incorporated town within the Asheville metropolitan area, adjacent to the Biltmore Estate. Properties are large, on wooded lots, with mature hardwood canopy.
The town has its own zoning, permit process, and strict design standards separate from Buncombe County.
The Biltmore Forest architectural committee reviews all new construction, additions, and modifications to existing structures. Designs must fit the community character and preserve the wooded, estate-like setting that defines Biltmore Forest.
Any building project requires approval from both the town and the architectural committee before construction can begin. We know how to work through that process. We understand Biltmore Forest's design expectations.
We build to meet them.
Biltmore Forest properties have mature trees and limited sight lines. Designs need to respect the surrounding terrain. Drainage, foundation solutions, and site work often require custom thinking.
We have the experience to handle these challenges.
