Living Stone Design + Build

Living Stone is building my house now. I am impressed with their communication (weekly with my superintendent), the construction and the integrity of everyone involved in my house. I’ve also learned a lot about bears in the mountains of NC! Sean and his team are great. They are always willing to take the time to meet with me and no question is unanswered. I have always been treated with the utmost respect.

Livingstone Design and Build,is currently building our home Many things set them above the rest Always keeping us informed,Always on schedule Honest great people The team assigned to our Build,is the perfect fit No cutting corners with them We are truly blessed to have found them

We had a wonderful experience building Living Stone, and would highly recommend them to anyone building in the area. Sean and team has the highest of integrity, experience, skill, and process. We love our new home, and are so thankful we partnered with such a great builder!

I cannot say enough about the ownership, staff and quality of product built by the Living Stone Design + Build team. We enjoyed working with everyone and always knew we could trust them to build our house and knew that their product would be excellent. I highly recommend Sean at Living Stone and his great team for your mountain home needs. I believe you will find that they are committed to constructing a home for you as if it was their own.

It's always great to work with Sean and his team and can expect amazing projects to shoot each time I work with him. His team has an amazing level of attention to detail and would highly recommend him.

Sean and his team at Living Stone Construction are awesome! I highly recommend them. Work is superior and people are "family"!

After living in another home in Asheville for three years, I decided to built in a more accessible location. As I was looking at lots, I met Warren and Carol Strittmatter, who graciously invited me in to see their Living Stone home. Their place was so beautiful and detailed, that I immediately knew I was going to use Living Stone as my builder. Little did I know what a pleasant home building experience it would turn out to be. My home is everything I wanted and asked for. The process was a dream compared to my previous building experience. The assignment of a designer from Living Stone partner IDology was invaluable in helping with selection of lighting, cabinetry, tile, paint and even the placement of my furniture. Each of the contractors was top notch, polite, and accommodating. My superintendent was caring to the nth degree and made sure the process ran smoothly, giving me frequent updates, when I was out of the area. Living Stone attention to detail and to their customer needs is superb and beyond compare. I would recommend them to anyone considering building in Western North Carolina.

We highly recommend Living Stone Construction. The quality of their work is excellent. Mike Bates was our building superintendent, and he and the other employees were very knowledgable about all aspects of building a new home in the mountains. He communicated very well about the project, and always responded very promptly to any questions. The timeline was quite accurate after a delayed start. We exceeded our initial budget by a significant amount, but costs were clearly stated and it was our decision to make the upgrades. We did not use their landscaper other than for drainage work. Otherwise we took full advantage of their professional partners, particularly IDology, which rates a separate top-rated review. We had not particularly wanted to build, but did not find a house we wanted to buy and Living Stone Construction made the process of building as easy as possible. We are finding the house to be very functional as well as beautiful. We would definitely hire Living Stone Construction again.

Sean Sullivan and his group are the most professional and pleasant builders I have the had the pleasure of working with. They go to great lengths to determine what their customers want (and their budget requirements). Then they do everything possible to "under sell and over deliver". Sean is an exceptional builder that delivers and exceptional home. Gary Thompson, Thompson Windows

Great contractor! Very professional, highest quality, always environmentally friendly. Highest integrity. Great customer service. Honest and good communicator. Uses only latest technology.

We are using Livingstone to build our mountain getaway home in the Southcliff community in Asheville, NC. Livingstone has been outstanding and we haven't yet finalized our plans. Sean (President) personally inspected a number of potential lot choices and provided an honest assessment of "buildability". He then evaluated the site plan and survey. He referred us to an excellent architect, and he has remained a big part of the process. He is now pricing the project. We are so pleased to deal with an honest and professional builder and can't wait until we break ground.

I am an architect and have, over the last several years, developed a working relationship with the people at Livingstone Construction. I can proudly recommend them to others based on there honestly, clear communications, commitment to quality construction/service. They are friendly and kind as well, which makes the whole process of building a home more enjoyable.

They have completed building our new home. They are a delight to deal with. Have had past experience having built 5 new homes. Honest, always look out for your best interest, willing to try new things. Their subs are top notch. Would highly !!! recommend them.

Livingstone Construction is one of the more important relationships in our lives, as is the relation to anyone who builds the home you will live in for the next forever. We met LSC because they happened to be the builders of several of the model homes in a development we wanted to live in: we picked the house, and LSC happened to be the builders. We usually “Google” and investigate and interview and canvas previous customers and have the FBI and NSA investigate and give reports on businesses or products we’re interested. Especially on something as big as house. We loved the house, we met Sean Sullivan and his immediate team, and our gut instincts said “Go for it.” Thank God we did. Our previous experience building a home was in the Caribbean. I will only say that experience and final product was less than stellar. Beautiful, yes, but I wish… You know the rest. LSC combines the extremes of professionalism and family-style into the perfect blend. They produce a product that is as smooth and easy as an ice cream smoothie. A project booklet is produced with expected completion levels and expense projections that have been right on. The team meetings that include everyone from the site manager to the decorator enables LSC to stay organized and keep us involved and informed. A minimum of weekly telephone updates with online photos of the progress is provided. The schedule LSC provides has built into it cushions for weather delays, and every attempt is made to remain on time. From our previous bad experience, we were initially a little anxious and we had frequent questions and needed extra soothing along the way. LSC handled our unnecessary concerns promptly and politely. LSC is a family-and-friend run business. As a client, we’ve been made to feel like members of the group. The quality of work performed has been excellent. Frank Turchi, the site supervisor has been on top of every aspect of every subcontracted work done. We certainly wish Living Stone Construction could have built our island home. I would easily build another house if LSC was at the helm. I couldn’t recommend them any higher. Richard Sefcik, D.V.M. Janice Sefcik, CCC-Sp

Living Stone built our dream home and delivered and met every one of our objectives. Great company with great people who care about making sure you are happy with the product.

Sean and his team at Living Stone are top quality. They are the most up-to-date on the trends and quality process. I love being a part of their team. They inspire us and everyone else around them to do better. I look forward to a long lasting relationship with Living Stone Construction.

Living Stone Construction is one of the best run construction companies in the United States. Sean and the Living Stone team pay attention to all the details necessary to making each project a success. We especially like working with them because of the win win environment they create for all parties involved. As a supplier they motivate you to go above and beyond on every job due to their character, professionalism, and genuine concern for our business as well as theirs. Living Stone has a fantastic team of professionals that truly understand how to deliver results for any client. I would give them my highest recommendation. Nick Campbell GBS Building Supply Director of Sales

I'm sure Sean was recommended to me by another satisfied client but I really don't remember totally how we began to work together. Sean and Livingstone Construction helped us turn our modest and simple boxy 1970's house into a spacious abode and turned a small galley kitchen into an open and welcoming space we simply adore! They also added on a vaulted dining area with creative lighting and accents.

I have worked for Sean as a painting contractor for over ten years now. Sean is a craftsman and a skilled leader. The Living Stone Construction team looks to manage the building process from start to finish in a professional manner. They work very hard to design and build each home with quality materials and processes. After working with then for so long I am proud to be a part of their team and put my name on each project. I recommend Sean and the Living Stone Construction team for their quality and professionalism.

Working with this team has been amazing. They took all my lists of ideas from Pinterest, Houzz and tried to incorporate everything that we wanted in our design. While we are not in the building stage yet, I would choose this group over and over again. Professional, courteous, nice and ethical in every way.

In the midst of a very painful and stressful loss of our home from a fire, the Living Stone team efficiently and creatively crafted a new home for us that we love. From demolition to design to construction Sean, Jason, Frank, Laura with ID.ology and all the sub contractors went above and beyond to build a home that is both imaginative and practical for our family. We are grateful.

We have been working with Living Stone Construction on a few projects and it has been a wonderful experience. Sean and his team are very talented and there attention to detail is outstanding!! The team approach Living Stone Construction takes really makes the projects run smooth and keeps everyone informed and up to date on the construction process. It's a pleasure working with Sean, Frank, Mike and the rest of the great Living Stone Team and we recommend them to our clients, friends, and family!!

I'd highly recommend using Living Stone Construction if you are considering building a new home or remodeling an existing home . They are a superb team of professionals that work closely with you throughout the process, truly seeking customer satisfaction, and striving to make the building process an enjoyable experience.

There is no comparison when it comes to selecting a general contractor and design/build firm when you choose Living Stone Construction.

These are honest people who know their business and who work hard to do the right thing. They delivered everything I expected and more!

Having worked with Living Stone Construction for several years now, I would highly recommend them. They build a high quality house at a reasonable price and are always at the home buyer's side at every step to make the process incredibly smooth. Living Stone's crew are very professional and their customer service is impeccable.

I am a virtual tour photographer that specializes in shooting model homes. In all my years of doing this with hundreds of different companies, I have never seen such top to bottom quality in every detail of a remodel or newly constructed home as is exhibited by Living Stone Construction. it is especially impressive to me that at all of the shoots I have done for them, their doting customers have always prepared the home immaculately for the shoot, leaving me free to move throughout the spaces with nothing to do but select my shots!

At Crossville Tile & Stone we have worked on a number of projects with LSC and are always impressed with their professionalism and superb craftsmanship. LSC has assembled a talented team and works with a select group of quality vendors that really set them apart. A common denominator among the many LSC clients we have had in our showroom? Complete satisfaction.

I have worked with Living Stone Construction on around a dozen projects over the last several years. Sean and the Living Stone team are second to none in their execution and management of building homes. They have developed a system that helps guide their customers through the process of building a home that ends with a superb product and happy clients. The Living Stone Project Superintendents(Mike and Frank) are the standard by which I now judge other superintendents by. They also have an excellent office staff that does an incredible job of providing the rest of the team with the support they need. Above all the integrity and knowledge Sean brings to the building process gives me great confidence to recommend Living Stone.

We worked with Livingstone after a fire destroyed our home. From the ground up, they worked with in our budget and gave a brand new home that far exceeded our expectations. They literally brought us out of the ashes and into a beautiful modern home in less than a year! From demolition, to design, to construction and finishing touches, the professionals with Livingstone were a pleasure to work with.

Livingstone is building our new home.They are always on task and have developed a system which allows the process to go forward while keeping us up to date on the project.

My husband and I are in the process of building a new house. At every step of the way, from selection of the lot, through the design process and now, with framing underway, Sean Sullivan and every member of Living Stone Construction have been courteous, responsive and professional. With a long background in real estate and construction, it's not easy to impress me. I'm delighted to give Living Stone Construction an A+ !

Living Stone Construction built our beautiful new home. They were wonderful to work with and have an excellent team in place that helped us throughout the building process. We are extremely pleased with the quality and craftsmanship. We would highly recommend LSC to anyone considering building a new home or remodeling an existing home.

LSC has been a major part in my tenure as a Certified Lighting Consultant/Administrative Assistant for as a major collaborative partner, Lux Lighting & Design. We have worked on smaller 'modest' projects, to large-scale near "mansions". The "thing" that sets LSC apart from many other builders I have encountered in my career is the meticulous and spectacular craftsmanship that is maintained throughout each and every project. Working closely with the LSC team, Owner Sean Sullivan and his team of professionals and incredibly knowledgeable Project Managers, that see the projects from start to finish, maintaining the excellent and almost seemingly proprietary craftsmanship, no matter the square footage of the project or the budget. Each project that we at Lux Lighting get to collaborate with LSC, is always a treat and wonderful experience in building a working industry relationship. Lastly, speaking for my team at Lux and the entire team at LSC, we look forward to working with you, should you make the right choice, in allowing us to work with you on your lifelong dream home, large or small.

Livingstone remodeled our 1980's kitchen into a dream come true. The professional manner in which we were treated and the quality of the product we received was second to none. We have recommended Livingstone to our friends, and they will be the only builder that we will contact for our future needs.

Living Stone Construction assisted my sister and her husband in a massive remodeling project several years ago. It was a very difficult job, but they performed extremely well, and the family was very happy with the outcome. I have also done work as a landscape professional for Living Stone on one of their larger projects, and I have to say--their work is stellar, and their commitment to their clients needs is unwavering. They are a pleasure to work with in every capacity. Stephen Towe Landscape Management Systems Candler, N.C.

Living Stone is by far the best builder in the area that I have worked directly with on numerous occasions- honest, open book, conscientious, diligent, environmental and health conscious, and will be your advocate every step through the process. Those who trust them with one of the biggest investments of their lives come away with not only a home of their dreams but a home for all seasons of their life. Anyone who chooses Living Stone will not be disappointed but will be beyond satisfied with the entire process
