what people are saying about us

“It was wonderful to work together with Jon and Kelly! They are the perfect team to help build your dream home all while staying within your budget. Take the extra step and don’t look any further. Jon and Kelly are your next building partners for the upcoming year!”

David & Ellen Peeters

"I met Jon & Kelly through my realtor while I was looking to buy my next "move-in ready" home in Asheville. Instead, I developed a close and creative relationship with them that changed my mind into designing and building my own. From day one, both Jon and Kelly took the time to meet with me and listen to my wish-list for my next home. They never once told me I was asking for too much or that what I wanted wasn't possible. They took the time to include me in every step of the process: sending me pictures, calling me, and taking me to vendors to see potential selections. It was this dedication and kindness that truly impressed me. I enjoyed the process and am lucky to have met a builder and designer who care about their clients and not about the bottom line."

"Building a custom home is a great endeavor and we knew when we started that the most important thing for us was to find a builder that we could trust. We chose Jon and Kelly Pettit of Dwelling Place Homes for this reason. Dwelling Place Homes is a small, family-run business that is known for their high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. We chose Dwelling Place to build our home and if asked to do it again, we would, without a doubt, choose them. Building a custom home involves building a trusting relationship with a lot of communication. Jon and Kelly excelled at keeping a clear and open line of communication throughout the build. Jon kept us up-to-date on where we were in the process and what would be coming next, while Kelly worked with us to organize many of the details and design aspects. She helped us to come up with authentic and cohesive selections that were uniquely tailored to our vision of the home we were building. They are definitely an amazing team! Working with Dwelling Place Homes was a great experience for us. The home that they have built for us has become the nexus of our family life and a gathering place for family and friends. The house that they have built for us truly feels like home."

"As you know, neither Dave nor myself had any experience in building a new home from the ground up. You both made the entire build much easier than we ever thought it could be. Your expertise and knowledge through out this entire build was greatly appreciated! Thank you both so much, for making our dream home come true. We look forward to many years of continued friendship."

Dave Melanaphy & Elaine Trigiano

"In 2020, we relocated to Asheville after buying a newly constructed home by Dwelling Place Homes and we have thoroughly enjoyed our beautiful, well built home for over three years now. Right from the very beginning, from our first inquiry on the listing, we knew that Jon and Kelly Pettit were not only great builders of functional, high-quality and beautifully and uniquely designed homes but they were also transparently honest, reliable, and responsive. Even after we closed, the Pettits, though very busy, were always available to us. When our relocation from Florida got delayed by a few weeks due to Covid, the Pettits were completely available for anything we needed. Once our home alarm (that we ourselves installed) went off on our phone from 500 miles away, and we reached out to Jon and he immediately agreed to swing by our new home to check it out and then later gave us an all clear sign. And when it was time, about a year after we moved in, to put an extension on the home for an aging parent, we didn’t even bother going to other builders for estimates. We knew the Pettits, we trusted them, and we loved their work. We simply told them what we wanted and received a quote and they then turned our open porch into a beautiful sunroom that we enjoy every day. That project came in below estimate and on-time. You simply can't go wrong with Dwelling Place Homes and Jon and Kelly Pettit."

Brent and Brenda Caudill

"Being one of the top real estate agents in Western North Carolina, I have sold many homes for home owners and builders in my 17 year career. Dwelling Place Home’s has built some of the most beautiful, well built homes that I have ever sold. Their quality of construction is superb. They care about their clients and the outcome of the homes that they build. Jon and Kelly are a powerhouse team. If you want a quality custom home, hire Dwelling Place Homes."

Marie Reed, Keller Williams

"Building a new home can be quite a stressful endeavor. Building a new home during a pandemic and while you are 1000 miles away in a different state can be overwhelming. Not with Dwelling Place Homes! Jon and Kelly Pettit were truly a blessing in our lives. They not only built us an incredible home, they provided us the extra support and guidance we needed to do this from 1000 miles away. From the regular communication, to Jon sending us pictures of the build all along the way, to Kelly really getting to know our design tastes and sending us ideas we would have never thought of ourselves, Dwelling Place Homes truly went above and beyond to create a home that we absolutely love! Three years after we got the keys to our new home, we still pause to look at how incredible it is and can't believe how lucky we were to have met Jon and Kelly."

Steve and Tammy Hargis

"Jon & Kelly were able to capture our vision and bring it to life. They are especially gifted in pulling details together and carrying out a plan. They have many quality people who work for them as well. Their hard work and honesty paid off for us!"
