Why Choose Local Contractors?

After a disaster like Hurricane Helene, out-of-town contractors often flood into affected areas, looking to profit from the situation. But working with local businesses is not only the smart choice—it's vital for Asheville’s recovery. Here's why:

1. Protect Your Business from Price Gouging

Out-of-town “storm chasers” often hike up their prices and bring their own labor teams, taking advantage of vulnerable business owners. By choosing local contractors, you can avoid inflated costs and ensure fair pricing from people who care about your community.

2. Local Expertise and Knowledge

Asheville’s local contractors have been building and maintaining the city's commercial infrastructure for years. They know the area’s history, building codes, and what it takes to restore our unique properties. Their deep-rooted experience is invaluable during a time of crisis.

3. Keep Asheville’s Economy Strong

Every dollar you spend with a local business helps keep our economy alive. By hiring local, you’re not just rebuilding your business—you’re helping your neighbors keep their jobs and keeping money circulating within Asheville.

4. Ensure Sustainable, Long-Term Recovery

If our local construction industry is overwhelmed by out-of-state firms, the long-term recovery of some of our hardest-hit areas could be jeopardized. Those who aren't familiar with Asheville may not fully understand the importance of preserving our small towns and the character that makes them special.

5. Local Businesses Care About Asheville's Future

Our local contractors aren’t just here for a quick paycheck—they’re part of this community. They care about Asheville’s future and will work with you to make sure our city and surrounding towns are rebuilt with care and integrity.
