Waynesville'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 Waynesville, 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 Weavcrville
Custom Decks
Waynesville sits at the gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the terrain here is some of the steepest and most challenging in Western NC. We have built decks at every elevation and slope. On one Frog Level project, we drilled helical piers 30 feet down into mountain rock to anchor a screened porch on a ridge.
On another project in the Blankenship property, we engineered and built a multi-level deck system that handled a severe grade change while maintaining clear sightlines to the mountains.
Screened Porches
Waynesville's bug season runs from April through October, and the elevation means a short summer to actually enjoy your porch. A screened porch lets you use that space without the mosquitoes. We build screened porches as standalone structures or as additions to existing decks, and we handle the framing, screening, roofing, and electrical.
Covered Porches
A covered porch extends your living space year-round in Waynesville. We build them with standing-seam metal roofing or shingled roofs to match your home. Waynesville gets significant snow and ice, so proper drainage and structural support are critical.
We handle both, and we design for the load.
Garages
Detached garages, attached garages, and garage conversions. We build them with concrete foundations engineered for Haywood County mountain terrain, framed walls, and finished interiors if you need workshop space. Waynesville's steep lots often require custom foundation work and drainage planning.

Basement Finishing
Waynesville has walkout basements that most homeowners don't use. We finish them into living space, home offices, guest suites, and workshops. 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.

Why Waynesville 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 Waynesville Different
Waynesville sits at 2,600 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains, higher than Asheville, closer to the Smoky Mountains, and right on the gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The terrain here is steep. Very steep. Flat lots practically do not exist.
The elevation means hard freeze-thaw cycles from November through March. Snow and ice happen here when they might miss Asheville. Material selection matters more in Waynesville.
Composite decking holds up better than pressure treated lumber at this elevation because of the extra moisture and freeze-thaw stress.
Building in Waynesville also means dealing with Haywood County permits and inspectors. We have done the work here long enough to know what they look for. Any deck over 30 inches above grade or attached to the house needs a permit, engineered plans for certain spans, and multiple inspections.
The steepness of the terrain means we often use helical piers, engineered footings, and grade beams to anchor structures into mountain rock. We have built 30-foot elevated decks and screened porches here that required specialized foundation work. Most builders in the area have not done that type of project.
