Where are the homes you cover?
Call about a home in Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville, Black Mountain, Fletcher, Woodfin, Mills River, Weaverville or Biltmore Forest. Anywhere else, mention it in your message. Inside Asheville, the city sorts its neighborhoods into five areas by ZIP code: 28801 is Central, 28803 and 28704 are South, 28804 is North, 28805 is East, and 28806 and 28728 are West (City of Asheville, read October 30, 2026). A ZIP code lets the callback begin in the right area.
What should you have ready before you call?
None of this is required to leave a message, but each detail shortens the first conversation with the contractor.
Home age and neighborhood
Know the year your house was built. About 56 percent of housing in the Asheville City Schools area went up before 1970 (ACS 2019-23, via NCES), and the EPA's lead rule applies to paid work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes built before 1978, so the contractor must be certified for it (EPA, read October 30, 2026). If you live in Albemarle Park, Biltmore Village, Montford or St. Dunstan's, say so. Those are Asheville's local historic districts, where every property is subject to design review (City of Asheville, read October 30, 2026).
Rooms and scope
List the rooms and say whether you want a light update or a full strip-out. For a kitchen remodel, note whether cabinets stay in place or walls and plumbing move. For a bathroom remodel, note whether you are keeping a tub or building a shower. In Asheville, changing a load-bearing wall, or adding or changing plumbing, electrical or heating and cooling, needs a city permit whatever the job costs (City of Asheville, read October 30, 2026).
Added floor area and the lot
Tell the contractor if the plan adds square footage, such as a bedroom, a suite or a sunroom, as with home additions. Mention a steep slope, a creek or a flood zone if your lot has one. In the city floodplain, all development and rebuilding needs a permit, and a remodel or addition that costs 50 percent or more of the building's market value, tallied over one year, must meet new-construction flood standards (City of Asheville flood information, read October 30, 2026).
Start date and budget
Name the month you want to begin and any fixed date, like a move-in. A budget range lets the contractor shape the scope to fit it. If you already hold other bids, say so, and read the guide to hiring a general contractor for a way to line them up.
Plans and photos
If you have plans, photos or a hand sketch, mention them. If you have none, say that instead.
Questions about getting a quote
Does it cost anything to call?
The contractor you are connected with sets its own price for the project. Ask for it in writing.
Who sets the price for my Asheville project?
The contractor. Ask for a written quote that lists each part of the work on its own line.
How soon will someone return my call?
Within one business day of your message. Give your town and ZIP code so the call starts in the right place.
What details help most when I call?
Five: the rooms involved, whether space is added, the year your home was built, the month you hope to start, and a budget range if you have one.
Does Asheville General Contractor Pros do the work?
No. Asheville General Contractor Pros only passes your request along. A separate local contractor does the job and signs the contract with you.
Do I need a licensed general contractor in Asheville?
The City of Asheville says a residential project over $40,000 must use a licensed General Contractor and a job under $40,000 does not. The state statute could not be read for this site, so confirm the threshold with the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors, and ask any contractor for its license number.
What belongs in the contract?
The NC Attorney General lists material quality, total labor and material costs, warranties, start and finish dates, and cleanup. It also suggests asking to see the contractor's insurance policy or bond and confirming it with the insurer.
How much should I pay before work starts?
The NC Attorney General advises against paying large fees in advance, and says the written contract should spell out total labor and material costs and start and finish dates.
Do I need a permit, and who pulls it?
Ask each contractor which permits apply and who applies for them. In Asheville, most residential projects over $40,000 need a permit, as does any job touching load-bearing walls, plumbing, electrical or heating and cooling. The NC Attorney General cautions against a builder who asks you to pull permits yourself, since that may mean the contractor is not licensed. Outside Asheville the permit office varies by town, so ask which office covers your address.
Who does the work
Asheville General Contractor Pros is a referral service operated by R&S. We pass your request to an independent local company, which does the work.
