Who We Are

Keller Built LLC is a veteran-owned, fully licensed, and insured North Carolina Building Contractor providing design-build, new construction, high-performance homes, remodels, renovations, and light commercial construction throughout Avery, Watauga, and surrounding counties. Based in the High Country of North Carolina, we deliver disciplined project execution, modern construction practices, and a client-focused experience across every project.

Our philosophy is simple: combine collaborative design, quality materials, and transparent communication to create spaces that are beautiful, functional, and built to last in the mountain environment.


Our Story

Keller Built LLC is a locally owned construction company founded by Blake Keller, who grew up in Avery County and proudly serves the High Country. Rooted in the community he calls home, Blake brings a deep understanding of the region, its homes, and the people who live here.

Growing up in a close-knit mountain community shaped Blake’s values early on—show up, do honest work, and stand behind what you build. Those principles still guide every project at Keller Built, from thoughtful renovations to high-performance homes and light commercial construction.

Before starting Keller Built, Blake gained extensive experience in the commercial construction industry, working on complex, highly coordinated projects that demanded precision, accountability, and clear communication. He brought those same professional standards back home to deliver a higher level of construction service to Avery County and the surrounding High Country.

Keller Built is built on integrity, reliability, and personal involvement. Blake remains hands-on with every project, ensuring clients work directly with the builder responsible for the outcome—not a distant project manager.

For Keller Built, building is more than a trade—it’s a commitment to the community, the craft, and the people who trust us with their homes and projects.
