Custom Homes, Renovations and Light Commercial Construction in Alcoa, TN

Alcoa sits right next to Maryville in the heart of Blount County, with McGhee Tyson Airport on its doorstep and a steady mix of homes, shops and offices along Alcoa Highway. Richardson Construction, a family-owned builder based in nearby Townsend, has served Alcoa homeowners and business owners since 2004. We plan each project around the site, the design and the budget, in that order, so there are fewer surprises once work begins.

Custom Homes, Additions and Renovations in Alcoa

From a new home on your own lot to a whole-home update, we help you understand what your property will take before you commit to a plan.

  • Custom homes: New homes built on your land, with design help from our in-house team and trusted local partners.
  • Additions: Extra bedrooms, primary suites and living space that fit the home you already have.
  • Renovations and remodels: Kitchens, baths, basements and whole-home updates for existing Alcoa homes.
  • Pre-construction planning: Lot survey and house placement, permits, financing coordination and your selections, handled before the first day on site.

Light Commercial Construction

Alcoa's business owners count on us for tenant build-outs, shell build-outs, commercial additions and commercial remodels, managed with the same planning, permitting and budget tracking we bring to our homes.

Every project starts with an itemized estimate and our Guided Project Start (GPS) Agreement, which locks in a scheduled start date. Start a project or call 865-268-9727 to talk through your Alcoa build.
