Your Exceptional Custom Home Building Team

Kevin Reed, Owner

Kevin Reed started building high-end homes because he enjoys working with beautiful materials. Whether handling a glass elevator or a 14-foot piece of Val D’orcia Quartzite, the opportunity to source, design, integrate and display amazing materials keeps him inspired. What he didn’t expect was how much he would enjoy solving unique design challenges for each individual client. Kevin earned a degree in mechanical engineering, but that work rarely satisfied his creativity. Building custom homes that push the edge of the industry is a perfect fit. His goal from the beginning was to become the best luxury home builder in western North Carolina.

After building homes for nearly 20 years, Kevin’s philosophy remains the same: build clients’ homes as if they were your own, and build them to last for generations. His many clients appreciate his attention to detail, his creative approach and his solid integrity. Kevin enjoys travelIng with his sons to see extraordinary architecture, and working on his 1967 Corvette convertible, for the same reason he loves building homes—because good design, well-built, elevates the human experience.

William Ammann

William is our go to guy when we need to make something happen. “I will handle it” is the most frequent response I hear when we ask William to take on a task. William is skilled in both carpentry and is our primary metalworker in the company, in charge of large steel fabrications, like gates, metal trellis’s. William and his wife reside in Fletcher along with their young son. William has been a coach many times for his son’s soccer team.

Leslie Cantrell

Leslie is a true master carpenter able to accomplish every task thrown at him. He has been with Bluestone the longest of all of our employees, 15 years. Over the years, out of necessity, Leslie has developed techniques and jigs to allow him to do a lot of work by himself which would ordinarily require two people.

Joshua Malpass

Josh has worked with wood all of his life, from an early age in Wyoming, to a stint in the Peace Corps, to many years working with reclaimed lumber, Josh is our wood authority. He is excellent at fabricating large pieces like cabinets, bookcases, mantels. Joshua and his family live in Hendersonville, but many weekends he is camping or hiking with his son. He loves being outside enjoying nature.

National Associations

Kevin is a contributing member of the Pacesetters, a Builder 20 group organized by the National Association of Home Builders. This group represents the cream of the crop of builders across the country, who are interviewed and chosen by the group from non – competing markets. The Pacesetters group meets biannually and consults regularly to share knowledge and expertise in the building industry, offering advice on financial decisions, building performance issues, and problem solving . The result is elevated home building standards and professionalism for the members of the group. This creates a better home and a better process for all involved.
