Hank's Homes has been crafting custom homes, thoughtful renovations, and meticulous historic restorations across Western North Carolina since 1998. Old-world craftsmanship. Modern comfort.
From breaking ground on a custom mountain home to breathing new life into a century-old Montford Victorian, we bring the same level of care and skill to every project we touch.
We guide you from raw land to move-in day, designing and building custom homes that honor the natural contours of your mountain lot. Our team specializes in the Craftsman and Arts-and-Crafts vernacular beloved throughout Asheville — exposed timber framing, broad front porches, locally sourced stone foundations, and old-growth hardwood floors. Every plan is drawn around your family's story and the landscape around it. No cookie-cutter builds, ever.
The kitchen is the heart of any WNC home, and we treat it that way. Our kitchen renovations are full-service — demolition, new cabinetry in painted shaker or natural walnut, Asheville-quarried stone countertops, custom tile backsplashes, updated plumbing and electrical, and finish carpentry that ties it all together. We coordinate every subcontractor so you have one point of contact from design day to the first home-cooked meal in your new space.
From modest updates to full spa-suite transformations, we remodel bathrooms with precision tile work, custom vanities built by our in-house carpenter, frameless glass shower enclosures, and radiant floor heating ideal for cool Asheville mornings. We plan meticulously around your existing plumbing runs to keep timelines tight and costs predictable. Powder rooms, guest baths, primary suites — we've done them all throughout the greater Asheville metro and surrounding valleys.
Need more room without leaving the neighborhood you love? Our addition team handles everything from a single bedroom bump-out to full second-story additions, all while keeping your family comfortable and your home structurally sound throughout construction. We're experienced with Asheville's diverse lot sizes — steep hillside properties, tight urban infill lots, and sprawling rural parcels — and we navigate the city's permitting process efficiently, so your project starts on schedule.
Western North Carolina was made to be lived outdoors, and we build the decks, pergolas, screened porches, and outdoor kitchens that let you enjoy every season of it. We use locally harvested black locust, white oak, and cedar that weather gracefully in the mountain climate, complemented by stone piers and hand-hewn timber posts. Whether you're entertaining on a Kenilworth craftsman or overlooking the Swannanoa Valley from a ridgeline cabin, we design outdoor spaces that feel like natural extensions of your home.
Asheville's Montford, Chestnut Hill, and Kenilworth neighborhoods are filled with Queen Annes, Four-Squares, Bungalows, and Colonial Revivals that deserve to stand for another hundred years. Since Hank's very first project — a Cumberland Avenue Queen Anne in 1998 — historic restoration has been the soul of this company. We restore original millwork, re-glaze and rebuild wood-sash windows, repair plaster walls, and source period-appropriate materials while upgrading structural, mechanical, and energy systems to modern standards. This is painstaking, specialized work, and we do it with reverence.
Hank Westmoreland grew up in Madison County, where the smell of fresh sawdust was as familiar as the Blue Ridge skyline. His father, Dale Westmoreland, built houses the slow way — by hand, with care — and from the time Hank was old enough to hold a framing hammer, he was on the crew. Summer after summer, school break after school break, he learned how a home goes together not from a textbook but from standing in the frame of one, watching his dad call level and square.
After high school, Hank moved to Asheville and landed an apprenticeship with a restoration carpenter named Earl Finch, one of the last true old-school craftsmen working the city's Victorian and Craftsman neighborhoods. Earl took on restoration work that other contractors turned down — the ornate Queen Annes in Montford, the deteriorating Four-Squares on Chestnut Hill — because he believed those homes were worth saving. Hank absorbed everything: hand-cut joinery, window rebuilding, plaster repair, period millwork reproduction. It was painstaking, time-consuming work that most of the industry had forgotten how to do, and Hank fell in love with every minute of it.
In 1998, at 26 years old, Hank struck out on his own. His first project was a derelict Queen Anne on Cumberland Avenue that the previous owner had all but given up on. With a small crew and Earl dropping by to offer guidance on the tricky cornice work, Hank spent eight months restoring that house to its original grandeur. The job got written up in the Asheville Citizen-Times. The phone started ringing, and it hasn't stopped since.
Today, Hank's Homes employs a crew of fifteen craftspeople, every one of them trained in-house with the same philosophy Earl Finch passed on to Hank: measure twice, cut once, never rush a detail that will outlast you. Over 380 completed homes, 52 historic restorations, and 27 years later, Hank is still on the jobsite most mornings — still swinging a hammer when the moment calls for it, still the first one to spot a problem and the last one to leave until it's right.
Hank's Homes serves Asheville, Hendersonville, Black Mountain, Weaverville, Fletcher, Arden, and the broader WNC community. Every project — from a modest bathroom remodel to a 4,000-square-foot custom build overlooking Town Mountain — gets the same commitment: honest pricing, transparent communication, and a finished product you'll be proud to show your grandchildren.
"A house is the most personal thing most people will ever build. It should carry your fingerprints — your choices, your values, the way you live. My job is to make sure it's built well enough to carry them for generations."— Hank Westmoreland, Founder, Hank's Homes
A small window into 27 years of building across Western North Carolina. Each project reflects the character of its neighborhood and the dreams of the family inside it.
A full two-year restoration of an 1897 Queen Anne in Asheville's landmark Montford neighborhood. We repaired and replicated all original millwork, rebuilt every wood-sash window, restored the wraparound porch with hand-turned spindles, and upgraded plumbing, electrical, and HVAC while preserving the historic integrity the City of Asheville required. The homeowners chose period-appropriate Pratt & Lambert paints in a four-color scheme drawn from historic photographs of the original house.
A 3,200-square-foot Craftsman-style custom home perched on a south-facing ridge along Town Mountain Road, designed to capture long views of the Black Mountains to the east. We sourced old-growth white oak flooring from a reclaimed mill in Haywood County, built custom kitchen cabinetry in the shop, and clad the exterior in hand-split cedar shingles and locally quarried river stone. The broad covered porch wraps three sides, and every window was placed to frame a specific view.
For a growing family in Asheville's Kenilworth neighborhood, we transformed a cramped 1960s kitchen into an open chef's kitchen, then added a 480-square-foot rear family room with vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and a wall of south-facing windows overlooking a terraced backyard garden. The kitchen features custom painted shaker cabinets, leathered quartzite countertops, a 48-inch range, and hand-laid subway tile in a running-bond pattern. The addition ties seamlessly into the original Tudor cottage exterior.
"Hank and his team restored our 1903 Queen Anne in Montford over the course of 18 months, and the result is beyond anything we imagined. Hank personally walked us through every decision — the millwork profiles, the window rebuilds, the porch details — with a patience and depth of knowledge you just don't find anymore. He treated our home like it was his own. The Asheville Historic Resources Commission inspector told us it was one of the finest restoration jobs she'd seen in the district. We couldn't agree more."
"We hired Hank's Homes for a full kitchen renovation and a rear addition on our 1940s bungalow in West Asheville. From the first meeting, Hank listened. He asked about how we cook, how we entertain, how many kids we're hoping to fill the space with — and then he designed something that answered every one of those questions. The construction itself was clean, on-schedule, and on-budget. Hank stopped by the site personally every single week. We've already referred four neighbors to him and will absolutely call him again when we tackle the master bath."
"We built our custom home with Hank's Homes on a ridgeline lot in Black Mountain and the experience was genuinely joyful from start to finish. Hank has this rare ability to hold the big vision and the tiny details at the same time — he knew the load calculations for our timber-frame great room ceiling and also personally hand-selected the wood for our mantle. The crew was professional, respectful, and took real pride in their work. Two years in, our house only gets better. This is what it looks like when somebody really cares about what they build."
