Transforming Your Dreams into Home Sweet Homes
At Souza Homes, we take pride in our commitment to delivering exceptional quality and distinction in every new home construction project we undertake. As a reputed Asheville home builder, we have established a strong reputation for delivering high-quality homes that exceed our clients' expectations.
Our Story
Our journey began with Raul Souza, a professional builder from Chile, who immigrated to the United States in 1997. Raul expanded his family's craft by studying modern construction techniques, including accounting, codes, and management. In 2005, he earned his North Carolina General Contractor's license and started his own construction company. Over the years, Raul has built a strong team of loyal artisans, ensuring that every project is executed with precision and attention to detail.
