Marion has been the seat of McDowell County since 1845, named for Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, with brick buildings on Main Street that still reflect the town's 19th and early 20th century roots. Building The Home Inc. builds and remodels homes throughout Marion and the surrounding McDowell County foothills, part of the same service area we cover out of our home base in Spruce Pine.

Building Across the Foothills-to-Mountain Range

McDowell County covers a lot of ground, elevation-wise — Marion itself sits in the foothills, while the western part of the county climbs toward 4,000 feet near the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest. That range means the building conditions change a lot depending on exactly where in the county your lot sits, and we adjust for that instead of applying one approach to every site. A foundation and framing plan that works fine on a gentler foothills lot near town isn't necessarily right for a steep site further out toward the mountains, and we scope each project for the actual land it's on.

Renovating in a Historic Downtown

Marion's Main Street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and a lot of the homes throughout the older parts of town share that same era of construction — which means remodeling work here sometimes means working with older framing, plaster, and materials that a newer build wouldn't have. We handle that the way we handle any older home: expecting some surprises once the walls open up, and being straightforward with you about what we find instead of treating it as an unplanned expense sprung on you midway through.

Part of Our Regular McDowell County Service Area

Marion is a regular part of our service area, not a special trip from Spruce Pine. We already build and remodel throughout McDowell County — Marion, Nebo, the Lake James area, and out toward Little Switzerland — so a project here gets the same crew, the same standards, and the same attention as one closer to home base.
