About Us
Shannon Lackey
Owner | NC Licensed General Contractor | WNC Mountain Builders, LLC
With more than 25 years of residential construction experience, Shannon Lackey has built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, uncompromising integrity, and meticulous attention to detail. As the owner of WNC Mountain Builders, he specializes in creating distinctive custom homes throughout Western North Carolina, from thoughtfully designed family homes to luxury mountain estates.
Shannon believes that a truly exceptional home is built from the inside out. This philosophy has become the foundation of WNC Mountain Builders' approach, which he calls Conscious Construction™. Beautiful architecture and fine craftsmanship are only part of the equation. He believes the materials hidden behind the walls are just as important as the finishes homeowners see every day. For that reason, every home his company builds is approached with the same philosophy: to thoughtfully reduce unnecessary chemical exposure whenever practical by carefully selecting quality, low-emission building materials throughout the construction process.
From framing materials and insulation to cabinetry, flooring, finishes, paints, adhesives, and sealants, every product is evaluated not only for its beauty and durability, but also for its contribution to a cleaner indoor living environment. While no modern home can be completely free of synthetic materials, Shannon is committed to making informed building decisions that prioritize craftsmanship, longevity, and improved indoor environmental quality whenever practical.
This philosophy is supported by an extraordinary team. WNC Mountain Builders' lead carpenters each bring more than 40 years of experience building high-end custom homes. Their expertise spans every phase of construction—from structural framing and fine finish carpentry to custom cabinetry, tile work, furniture-quality woodworking, and the intricate finish details that transform a house into a timeless home.
Known for his honesty, transparency, and problem-solving approach, Shannon treats every project as though he were building it for his own family. He believes there is no substitute for doing things the right way, communicating openly with clients, and refusing to compromise on quality.
At WNC Mountain Builders, every home is built according to the principles of Conscious Construction™—a philosophy rooted in exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful material selection, enduring quality, and a commitment to creating homes that are as beautiful as they are healthy.
