Custom Homes, Renovations and Light Commercial Construction in Townsend, TN
Townsend is home for Richardson Construction. Our office sits on Laurel Valley Road, and our family has been building on the Peaceful Side of the Smokies since 2004. We know the foothill lots, the properties along the Little River and the long drives that climb toward mountain views, and we plan every Townsend project around the land first, then the design and the budget.
Custom Homes, Cabins and Renovations in Townsend
Many Townsend clients come to us with land already in hand, or with a family home or cabin that is ready for its next chapter. We help you understand what a property will take before you commit to a plan.
- Foothill and mountain-view lots: Early review of slope, access, drainage and house placement, backed by a lot survey during pre-construction.
- Custom homes: Full-time residences and second homes built on your land, with design help from our in-house team and trusted local partners.
- Renovations and additions: Kitchens, baths, added living space and whole-home updates for existing Townsend homes and cabins.
- Clear numbers: An itemized estimate with plain inclusions and exclusions, so you know what is in the price before work begins.
Light Commercial Construction
We also build for Townsend business owners, including tenant build-outs, shell build-outs, commercial additions and remodels, and event spaces, with the same planning, permitting and budget tracking we bring to our homes.
Our Guided Project Start (GPS) Agreement locks in a scheduled start date, and you have direct access to our whole team from the first meeting to the final walkthrough. Start a project or call us at 865-268-9727 to talk through your Townsend build.
