Waynesville is a town defined by its dualities: the high-altitude exclusivity of Balsam Mountain Preserve and the historic, brick-lined charm of the Frog Level Historic District. As the largest town in North Carolina west of Asheville, it offers a sophisticated mountain lifestyle that requires a builder with equal parts technical grit and design finesse. At Herrington Homes, we specialize in high-performance luxury builds that capture the rugged soul of Haywood County.
Whether you are sketching a legacy estate or planning a transformative renovation, our knowledge of Waynesville’s specific enclaves ensures a seamless build:
For those building in high-elevation, eco-conscious communities, we specialize in hillside construction, working closely with structural engineers. Nick Cioce’s expertise as an Unlimited Building Contractor is vital for managing the steep-slope stability and complex foundations required at elevations exceeding 4,000 feet.
We design homes that serve as the perfect backdrop for the active lifestyle, focusing on expansive gear rooms and Modern Outdoor Living that overlook the fairways.
Reimagining a vintage bungalow or early 20th-century cottage? We excel at Whole-Home Renovations that preserve the "Gateway to the Smokies" character while integrating open-concept kitchens and Smart Home Automation.
Our designs here emphasize Rustic Refinement, blending heavy timber beams with floor-to-ceiling glass to honor the Plott Hound heritage and the surrounding wilderness.
Relationships as Strong as Our Foundations
In Waynesville, we know that reputation travels from the coffee shops of Frog Level to the hiking trails of Black Balsam Knob. Nick Cioce has built Herrington Homes on a relationship-first model. We aren’t just building a house; we are building a partnership that respects your vision and the local community.
We act as your local advocate, navigating Haywood County's building codes and environmental regulations so you can focus on the excitement of selecting your finishes. From the initial site walk on Eagle’s Nest to the final walkthrough in Blyde Mountain, we are with you every step of the way.
Building in Waynesville means preparing for the "Four Seasons" in a single day. We prioritize building science to protect your investment:
01
We use 3D site analysis to position your Mountain Modern or Modern Farmhouse home to capture the sun’s warmth in the winter while shielding you from the summer heat.
02
Given the higher rainfall near the Smokies, we utilize advanced drainage systems like French drains and swales to ensure your foundation remains a dry, stable anchor for decades.
03
We source local stone and reclaimed timbers that mirror the textures of the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway, ensuring your home feels as though it grew out of the mountainside.
Whether you are looking for a secluded sanctuary or a walkable downtown cottage, discover the difference that 30 years of integrity and innovation can make.

I was genuinely impressed by how swiftly and efficiently everything was handled. I reached out to Nick on Wednesday for assistance with an adjustment to our master bath shower door. Nick sent someone to the house to assess the situation. It was fixed the next day. Herrington built our home ten years ago. There have only been a few times over the years when I needed some help. Every time Nick has responded quickly and thoroughly. I really appreciate the relationship we have with the Herrington family. Brad Carmichael 22 Mountain Orchid Way

We worked with the owner of Herrington Homes, LLC, Nick Cioce and his crew to design a linear stone fireplace in our lower level rec/pub area. During the process, we recognized Nick had an uncanny ability to quickly understand and implement our ideas and concepts. We were extremely pleased as the results of the project were exactly as we had envisioned. We highly recommend Herrington Homes, LLC for any remodel or building projects you may be contemplating.
