Gary Cole

Job Titles:
  • Owner
Over 20 years of business experience in the Asheville and surrounding areas. I saw how the housing market on new homes was turning. The quality of homes being built are going down and the prices are going up. I knew the Asheville and surrounding areas needed a company that offers new homes with that old school craftsmanship and quality that you deserve when you have a home built. It doesn't matter if you are building a large full blown custom home or a small simple home, the craftsmanship and quality should be the same. This is when we decided to create Old Mill Construction and Design Ltd. We look forward to working together to make your dreams come true.
