Black Mountain'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 Black Mountain, 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 Black Mountain
Custom Decks
We build composite, pressure treated, and cedar decks for Black Mountain homes. Black Mountain is an arts community with older homes from the early 1900s mixed with newer construction. The Swannanoa River valley creates high humidity and fog that demand professional deck building.
We use joist tape, double flashing, and screw-only fastening on every deck because those details prevent rot in Black Mountain's moist environment.
Screened Porches
Black Mountain's bug season runs April through October. A screened porch gives you river views and mountain air without the insects. We build screened porches as standalone structures or add them to existing decks.
We handle the framing, screening, roofing, and electrical work.
Covered Porches
A covered porch extends your living space year-round in Black Mountain. We build them with standing-seam metal roofing or shingled roofs to match your home.
The river valley gets substantial rainfall and frequent fog, so proper drainage and flashing are essential. We handle both.
Garages
Detached garages, attached garages, and garage conversions. We build them with concrete foundations, framed walls, and finished interiors if you need workspace or storage. Black Mountain's historic neighborhoods often have older homes that need additional garage space.
Basement Finishing
Many Black Mountain properties have basements that remain unfinished. We convert them into living space, home offices, rental units, and workshops. We handle framing, insulation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, and flooring.
Lee Pegram holds the NC General Contractor license, so we pull permits and manage every trade.

Why Black Mountain 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 Black Mountain Different
Black Mountain sits at about 2,400 feet in eastern Buncombe County. The highest peaks east of the Mississippi River surround the area, with Pisgah National Forest to the south and the Black Mountain range to the north. The Swannanoa River valley creates high humidity and frequent fog that deposits moisture on outdoor structures year-round.
Black Mountain is an arts community with historic homes from the early 1900s mixed with newer construction. The terrain varies widely from flat downtown areas along Cherry Street to steeper slopes in the surrounding neighborhoods. Montreat is adjacent, so the area has a tight-knit mountain community feel.
Buncombe County enforces the North Carolina Residential Code. Any deck over 30 inches above grade or attached to the house needs a permit and inspections. We have pulled over 300 permits in Buncombe County since 2013 and manage the full process.
The Swannanoa River valley's moisture and high elevation mean decks experience more humidity and fog than lower elevation areas. Composite decking with proper joist tape and double flashing is essential for longevity. Pressure treated lumber has a shorter lifespan here than in drier climates because of the constant moisture.
