Exceptional Builder—Honest, Detail‑Oriented, and Someone Who Truly Stands by His Work
We purchased a new construction home from Alfonso Socarras in the historic Montford area in 2015, and it was an excellent experience. The home was built as a green house, with thoughtful, environmentally friendly design and high‑quality construction throughout. Alfonso even included a 10‑year structural warranty, which spoke volumes about his confidence in his work.
Anytime we had an issue, Alfonso was immediately responsive and consistently went above and beyond to address it. His follow‑through and attention to detail truly set him apart.
We were so pleased that we hired Alfonso to finish our basement. He completed the project on time, was incredibly attentive to details, and the final result came out beautifully.
Having built two other homes, we can say without hesitation that Alfonso is the only contractor we would ever recommend. His two greatest strengths are that he is honest and stands by his work. If we ever build or redesign a home in the Asheville area, we would absolutely use Alfonso again.

We are absolutely thrilled with our general contractor and the incredible transformation he led for our master bathroom. What started as a straightforward upgrade quickly became more complex when he discovered significant water damage beneath the floor; however, he jumped into action immediately, coordinating a structural engineer and a team of highly skilled professionals to address the issues properly. His honesty and meticulous attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind throughout the entire process, and we trust his judgment implicitly. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we finally have the master bathroom of our dreams!
In 2024 we purchased a house from Alfonso. The quality of the construction and the materials were significantly higher than anything we saw on the market. Alfonso takes pride in what he does and builds every home as his own. The purchasing process was also very easy. Alfonso provided all necessary inspection reports and disclosed all details about the property. Our family couldn't be happier with the quality of the home and the purchasing process.
