Banner Elk sits in the Elk River Valley and has been shaped by Lees-McRae College since 1900, a small campus that sits high enough to earn the nickname "Campus in the Clouds." Building The Home Inc. builds and remodels homes throughout Banner Elk and the rest of Avery County, part of the same service area we cover out of our home base in Spruce Pine.

A College Town at the Top of the Mountain

Banner Elk's character comes largely from Lees-McRae College, a small Presbyterian college founded in 1900 that sits at one of the highest elevations of any campus in the eastern United States. That history has shaped the town around it into something more than a resort stop — a real community with its own identity, not just a gateway to the ski slopes nearby. We build and remodel homes here with that in mind, for people who actually live in Banner Elk, not just pass through it.

Building for Real Elevation Weather

At Banner Elk's elevation, sun and UV exposure hit harder than they do lower in the valley, which matters as much as snow load does — roofing, siding, and exterior finishes all break down faster under stronger, more direct sun at altitude. We factor that into material choices here, not just the cold-weather side of building at elevation that gets talked about more. A home built for Banner Elk's actual conditions holds its finish and its structure longer than one built to a generic mountain spec.

Part of Our Regular Avery County Service Area

Banner Elk is a regular part of our service area, not a special trip from Spruce Pine. We already build and remodel throughout Avery County — Banner Elk, Linville, Newland, and the resort communities at Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain — so a project here gets the same crew and the same standards as one closer to home base.
