Beautiful Custom Homes.
Quality Construction.
Expert Craftsmanship.

Building a new home is an exciting and stressful experience. There are so many decisions to make and options to consider. Having a builder who is experienced, competent, adaptable, and accessible makes the journey fun. John and his team have built two houses for us and we enjoyed working with them immensely. I highly recommend John for any building and expansion needs.

We loved working with John Edney and his crew when they built our house, our house barn, and our guest cottage during 2015/2016. John is hardworking, smart, respectful, and is always willing to listen. Attention to detail, good quality workers, and honest integrity made working with Edney Construction a pleasure from start to finish!

I can say without hesitation that John and his crew will not only meet your expectations, but they will also do so with the utmost professionalism. From the early stages of design discussions, through the inevitable hiccups that come up with any construction project, John will be the voice of reason, often taking a difficult decision or circumstance and managing it to resolution all while maintaining relationships with all those involved. When John says he will get something done, rest assured, he will. And in today’s less than stellar work environment, John is among the few that understands the value and importance of open and frequent communication. I am pleased to be able to recommend Edney Construction Company. I probably have more experience than most people do with John and his associates… and I can, without hesitation, tell you that they are a pleasure to work with. When you are dealing with not only most people’s largest asset, i.e., their home, but the asset that hopefully will be where they spend many, many years making memories surrounded by people they love, it is nice to have a builder that understands both the financial and emotional aspects of getting that foundation correct.

John proved himself to be a trustworthy, dedicated builder with a team of great employees and sub-contractors. He is honest, capable, industrious and diligently gets the job done following owner's plans and specifications to the letter. He is an excellent communicator and has a great disposition.

John Edney and his crew came highly recommended, so it was an easy choice when it came to selecting a builder for our "forever dream home" Working with John and his talented , expert crew was truly a pleasure from start to finish and we were more than pleased with the end result. The high level of craftsmanship that is on display everywhere in our home speaks for itself, John and his crew made our dreams a reality.

The late Holland Brady of Brady-Trakas Architects accepted the task to create and design a custom home for us. He presented us with a beautiful and unique design, and we asked three contractors to bid the work. Luckily, Edney Construction was among them. Even today it remains our very good fortune to have selected John’s company. Given the opportunity again, I would choose no one else to construct a space that has the deep personal importance of a family home, and I advise anyone else to consider making that same selection.

Approximately seventeen years ago, Lisa and I embarked on our dream of building our dream home on a small tract of land in Polk County, NC. After all the usual vetting and interviews were complete – one Man was chosen for the job, Mr. John Edney. Based on a tour of past “builds” and his honest personality we began the process. The choice was definitely a smart one, as John and his team of Artisans built for us the house of our dreams and exceeded all of our expectations. We were so pleased with the result we asked John to build our guest house some 10 years later. What a pleasure. His commitment to quality and his honestly are second to none. Lisa and I consider John a lifelong friend.

I do not have enough words to describe what a first class act John Edney is personally and as a builder. He built my dream mountain home in 2006 which is extraordinary. His work has been the envy of many friends that have visited the home. But, the thing that blows me away is that John has helped me with anything I needed (questions, repairs, referrals for help, etc.) ever since we closed on the house. He became a friend and I always knew I could rely on him. I still do and he built the house 15 years ago! I have never had that experience before with a builder or quite frankly any other professional that I have worked with. He is not only talented, reliable, consistent, fair, and honest but he is a good man. Thank you John for the blessing that you have been to my family. If I ever build again, John will be my only call.

Lisa and I are enjoying life in our new home built by Edney Construction in 2020/2021. The testimonial on our experience is threefold. 1) Quality of materials and workmanship. 2) Integrity and reputation of John Edney and his 18 skilled craftsmen and finally, 3) The complete package Edney Construction provides to new homeowners moving to the Foothills region.

John took on our rather complicated project of a timber frame build house, but I must say it has been a pleasant venture, with great leadership all the way, which meant a worry free experience for us, as our main residence is in the United Kingdom. Communicating with John was easy and we were treated with weekly updates and photos of progress. The craftmanship and quality are exemplary, and we would not hesitate to recommend this reliable company

John Edney has built two houses and an addition for us. John is organized, professional and honest. He has good subs and loyal employees and provides great support during the construction process. Most importantly, he is unflappable and has a wonderful sense of humor. I really enjoy working with him. I highly recommend him.

When you are getting ready to build/remodel a couple of things come to mind, cost, quality, and the personality of the people doing the job. We have both built a barn and remodeled some living areas while we were in residence. John, his crew and every single one of the subs he brought in were very easy to work with and did an excellent job. He was upfront on costs and the quality is exceptional. The added bonus is we have lots of new friends.

As a long-established architect in Tryon who has worked with John Edney many times over the last 22 years, I can say without a bit of hesitation that he is the finest as well as the most honest, dependable and overall happiest general contractor I have ever had the privilege to partner with….and if my dear elder partner the great Holland Brady were still alive he would certainly concur. I’ve said to my clients for years that if I could produce 10 more John Edneys I would never have to look for another builder, and there are so many reasons why….his loyal team , many of have been with him over 20 years, are so talented and skilled at numerous trades and can interpret drawings and instructions without questions and add their own creativity which further enhances the final product while respecting the wishes of Owners and Architects . John and his men always follow our plans meticulously and are quick to ask questions or raise concerns well before proceeding with work, which gives me even more confidence. They maintain at all times a neat and orderly job site and are unfailingly polite and well dressed, and they exhibit the same good spirits and humor as their leader (this trait may be the most valuable of all over the long and stressful process of construction) . Best of all, John’s homeowners are always thrilled with the final results and appreciate his efforts even more years later, though he is at any time willing to come back and fix or improve any areas that need attention.
