Lobo Builders Is... Small, Local, Homegrown. Progressive, Flexible & Cool. Environmentally Conscious.

We value “home,” and we thrive on creating beautiful environments – from new construction to spaces you never thought you’d love.

Lobo Builders has renovated hundreds of homes, offices and spaces in the past thirty years.

We love projects that need a lot of work and some serious attention – and a bunch of fresh ideas. We work to bring out original character, while breathing new life and new function into some (previously) funky spaces.

Modern flair while honoring history, beautiful and clean
with just a little down-home funk.

That’s Lobo Builders.

Any home, house, office or space is a possibility – from stately Victorian to craftsman bungalow, mid century modern, atomic rancher – anything you have, we have a vision. “Problem properties” aren’t a problem – they’re just an opportunity to go nuts and do something a little unexpected.

Tristan & Jackson

Tristan & Jackson

Tristan is a laid-back family man with a passion for design, construction, and customer service. When he’s not producing exceptional craftsmanship; he enjoys adventures in the wilderness on mountain bikes, spending time with his kids, cooking on an open flame, and helping others prosper and succeed.

Jackson is from Marietta, GA., and is a graduate of Appalachian State University. He currently lives in Asheville with his girlfriend and dog. He is new to carpentry but is excited to learn and be a part of Lobo Builders. In his free time, he loves to climb and mountain bike- although he is still scared of heights and is afraid to hit big jumps on his bike.

Our Fearless Leader…

Thomas Wolfe

Family man. First and foremost, Thomas Wolfe is Annie’s devoted husband of 21 years. Together, they have four amazing, adventurous, crazy kids – and a pretty great golden retriever. When he’s not busy designing and building, he loves hanging out with the aforementioned 5 souls, watching movies, making dinner or combing the beach. Also a fan of training, Thomas plans to be a triathlete (again) because he doesn’t have enough going on. When it’s time to kick back, Thomas likes to kick back a cold Pisgah Pale Ale while contemplating his next adventure.
