  Some of the most beautiful and well-located building sites in the High Country have existing homes on them. With the use of craftsmanship and design details you can enhance the existing structure and turn it into your dream home. You can add heavy timbers, stone, tile, fireplaces, or any of the many other design styles and material options to give you an updated, customized feel, or to reinforce the history of your home. We are Boone NC Builders that are quite knowledgeable in Boone NC Remodeling services, Blowing Rock NC Remodeling and Banner Elk Remodeling projects. Learn about our services as Building Contactors NC and projects we've completed using NC Green Home Improvements.

There are many features that can bring the amenities of an older home up to the standards of today's finest custom homes including new entries, kitchen additions, butler pantries and more. You can also increase the size or spacious feel of your home by creating great rooms, adding porches or decks, spas, etc. Landscaping, new driveways and other details can also make an ordinary home into an extraordinary home.

Mountain Construction, Western NC Builders has completely rebuilt interiors including moving walls, redefining living spaces, updating bathrooms and kitchens, adding granite countertops, cherry floors and cabinetry throughout and more.

We have worked on many unusual and difficult mountain projects, giving us an advantage over other less experienced builders. Mountain Construction has remodeled and restored a number of historic and historically significant homes in the Blowing Rock area. We have remodeled a very fine custom home in Yonahlossee, next to Moses Cone Park, overlooking Grandfather Mountain. We are proud to have the opportunity to do a historic restoration at The Cannon Estate in Blowing Rock, which was built in 1927 by Joseph and Annie Cannon. We have also been involved with construction on homes adjacent to the former Cannon Estate as esteemed NC Custom Home Builders and Building Contactors NC.

When remodeling, as with all of our projects, we aim to create a final product in which we, along with our client, can take great pride.

Restoration
Before
After
Joseph and Annie Cannon completed the home they called “Miramichi,” or Happy Retreat, in 1927. Sadly Joseph died while his home, anchored into the rugged hillside that overlooks the John’s River Valley to the Southwest, was still comparatively new, however, his devoted wife, Annie Ludlow Cannon would continue to call her magnificent mansion in the mountains home until her death in 1965. Yet today, close to five decades since she lived there, Miramichi remains, not one of, but the most prominent of Blowing Rock’s historical seasonal homes still in private hands.

Eventually, the historic home was placed on the market and today its new owners don’t even want to hear any discussion about its being remodeled. “Restoration” is the word Mark Kirkpatrick uses now to describe what his Mountain Construction Enterprises is doing at Miramichi. “When I first met the new owners it didn’t take long for me to clearly understand they had no interest in a remodel. Their intent was restoration of the home to its original grandeur.”

Kirkpatrick assembled a group of highly skilled craftsmen who won’t compromise any modern fixture or workmanship if it detracts from what was there when the house was turned over to its new owners in 1927.

“I’m convinced that the new owners are as intent on doing this for the preservation of the history of the village as they are for their own personal lifestyle,” Kirkpatrick says. “I look at this job as an honor with a lot of responsibility—probably more historical than physical. We all feel that we are saving part of the soul, part of the history of Blowing Rock.
