Over thirty years ago I watched in fascination as my uncles would actually take the sawmill out into the woods of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the New River. Rather than the modern way of trucking the logs to a stationary sawmill they could custom cut lumber right there at the site; select raw materials ready for finishing and use in building, with minimal effects on the environment.
After this experience, and many years working extensively with finished wood products and custom building for others, I found myself to be no different from anybody else; I had an idea and a dream to have my own business. I wanted it to be a job I liked, but my inspiration was wanting to try to do it a step better, by making clients happy and taking pleasure in the feeling of accomplishment when getting praised for a job well done.
To me, a step better begins by surrounding yourself with good help. These are the people I count on to get the job done and, most importantly, keep up and understand the quality of workmanship I present and expect.
The result, New River Custom Builders, is a collection of some of Ashe County's finest craftsmen under the guidance of me, Greg Testerman, GC. Together, we produce one of kind, custom handcrafted homes. Like the surrounding mountains, each home is a beauty to behold.
