Building The Home Inc. is based just 14 miles away in Spruce Pine — close enough to be on-site fast, local enough to actually know this ground.
Burnsville sits in the shadow of Mount Mitchell, the highest peak east of the Mississippi, in a county with one of the highest concentrations of working artists in the country. Building The Home Inc. builds and remodels homes throughout Burnsville and the rest of Yancey County, just a short drive from our home base in Spruce Pine.
Burnsville sits higher and closer to real mountain weather than a lot of the towns we build in — Mount Mitchell alone tops out at 6,684 feet, and the terrain around it doesn't flatten out much on the way down. That means steeper lots, more exposure to wind and snow load, and foundations that need to account for grade and rock the way flatland construction never has to. Roofing and siding choices matter more here too — a home at this elevation deals with harder freezes and more snow load than one lower in the valley, which changes what actually holds up long-term. We build for that reality here, not a generic plan adjusted after the fact.
Yancey County has one of the highest concentrations of working artists per capita in the country, and downtown Burnsville's Town Square reflects it — galleries, working studios, and the Mount Mitchell Crafts Fair drawing hundreds of makers every August. It's the same spirit Francisco brings to building: work made by hand, by someone who's actually good at the craft, not mass-produced and shipped in. A town that values that in its potters and glassblowers tends to value it in a builder too, and it's part of why hands-on work — real framing, real timber joinery, real craftsmanship — fits in naturally here.
Burnsville is about 14 miles from our home base in Spruce Pine — close enough that we're not a regional company driving in from an hour away for a first look, and close enough that getting a crew, materials, and equipment out to your job site doesn't add real time or cost to the project. We know this stretch of Yancey County because we're already working in it regularly, not because we looked it up before writing this page.
