What We Do

Design-Build Custom Homes

We specialize in one-of-a-kind custom homes throughout Asheville, Arden, Biltmore Forest, and the surrounding mountain communities. Our process starts with site planning and architectural design, giving you a home that fits your land, your lifestyle, and your vision. Every detail is carefully considered, from the way the sun moves through your windows to how your space will serve you for decades.

What We Do

Semi-Custom New Construction

For homeowners who have plans in hand or want to simplify the process, our semi-custom homes offer a clear and curated experience. We help you personalize your home with thoughtful selections and tailored finishes, all while maintaining the craftsmanship Kaizen is known for.

What We Do

Whole Home Renovations

We reimagine entire homes for clients who want to improve how their spaces look, feel, and function. Whether you're updating a second home or preparing for the next phase of life, we approach each renovation with care, creativity, and a commitment to quality. Our renovation services are ideal for homeowners in Asheville, Hendersonville, Waynesville, and nearby communities.

The Design-Build Process

1 | Start the Conversation
Every project begins with a conversation. We take time to understand your vision, answer your questions, and determine whether we're the right fit. This phase includes a discovery call and a few qualifying questions to help us learn about your goals, timeline, and expectations. It’s designed to give you clarity and confidence before moving forward.
2 | Plan and Design
Once you're ready to move ahead, we guide you through a detailed design and planning phase. This may include site evaluations, architectural drawings, interior selections, and budget development. We collaborate closely with you and our design partners to ensure your vision is fully defined before construction begins. The result is a clear plan with no guesswork.
3 | Build with Confidence
With plans in place, construction begins. Our experienced team manages the build and keeps you informed through regular updates and clear communication. We work with trusted subcontractors who meet our high standards for quality. From start to finish, we focus on delivering a home that reflects your vision and stands the test of time.

Jonathan with Kaizen Homes saved our family from a terrible situation with a fraudulent contractor and was willing to jump in on our project after the designing stage. Jonathan’s attention to detail and knowledge of building science gave us confidence that we could trust him to build our home. We gave him a very strict budget and he set clear expectations on what was achievable and delivered on his word. Jonathan stayed within our budget throughout the project. He far exceeded our expectations in building our family’s home in Black Mountain, which is a legacy property that has been owned since 1940. He listened to our vision and knew the importance of the property to our family. Our family would recommend Kaizen Homes 100%.

Cale S.

We moved into our home, Hemlock Ridge, that Kaizen Homes built in 2016. The whole process from beginning to move in was well planned, professional, and very collaborative between the builder, Jonathan Landry, and ourselves. He uses software that organizes the selection process for fixtures, trims etc. for the customer. This was extremely helpful. He was careful with our budget and if issues or concerns came up they were communicated immediately. Jonathan and his team did a quality job in every aspect of our home. We had no issues after our move in. I would highly recommend Jonathan as a home builder!

Suzanne S.

Jonathan did a great job constructing our home. To be honest, there were some challenges; building a house in the middle of a pandemic, with changing labor and material costs is not an easy job! However, Jonathan always had our best interests at heart, and we are very happy with our new home.

Frank K.

Great customer service, honesty, and a strong work ethic are traits we look for when hiring a person to build our dream home. I’ve had the privilege of working with Jonathan Landry of Kaizen Homes. He possesses all of the above mentioned qualities, and much more.

I highly recommend Jonathan Landry for any construction project you may have in mind. You’ll be happy you hired him!

Frank K.

Jonathan has helped manage several home improvements projects for my wife and I. This work included deck improvements, large glass patio door installations, a new front door, exterior cable rails and more. His crew and subcontractors have been very professional, clean, timely and competitively priced. Every one of his subcontractors have been easy to work with and their communication style is also straight forward and direct.
