MACK CUSTOM

In 2006, our founder built his first custom home. Since then, we’ve learned a lot about caring for our clients, understanding and interpreting a vision, and assembling beautiful, efficient, and long-lasting homes. Every house has unique challenges but the results can be incredibly rewarding and we truly enjoy engaging with our clients in creating something meaningful.

MACK COMMERCIAL

As business owners ourselves, we know firsthand how critical the (foodservice, retail, healthcare, office….) work environment can be to the success of your company. We specialize in helping our clients balance cost, features, and time, with a creative focuse on getting them working in the best space possible, as quickly as possible.

MACK RENOVATION

The old can be made new in ways that are often surprising. Whether it’s changing or adding space, restoring historical features, improving efficiency and comfort, or completely rethinking everything, we’d love to speak with you about it. We have completed many renovations over the years, both commercial and residential, and it continues to be one of our favorite project types.

NORTH HILL

Through our sister company, North Hill Homes, we offer new housing designed to be highly efficient, hardwearing, and crafted with distinct style. A typical North Hill Home is 1,100 to 1,600 sqft, carries a HERS score in the mid 50s, and is designed to provide functional and efficient spaces for first time, move up, and downsizing buyers. We offer these homes directly to buyers at competitive prices through a transparent and simplified buying process.

Joseph Kaselak

In a former life, Joe worked the trading desk at several financial firms (Thornburg, Heitman, and Hauck & Aufhäuser). Investing in Asheville realty since 2015, Joe decided to pursue the endeavor full-time and moved here in 2018. His primary roles include sales and acquisitions, creative thinking, and developing investment concepts to execute through North Hill. Joe holds a degree in economics and resides in a North Hill home with his partner and son. When not working up new ideas, he can be found bothering the neighbors with his drum kit.

Carlos Hernandez

When not busy building, he enjoys traveling with his wife and serving up aces on the volleyball court.

“Just a huge note of gratitude for your work. You are highly gifted in what you do, but I noticed that you are equally honest and tough, which is a rare combination in your field, in my experience. This project’s success is a reflection of that combination, in wood and stone, and I am not unaware of the gift I have received.”

As is apparent from our bio pic, we’re seriously quite friendly.
