Luxury Custom Homes
Built for the Mountain
Custom Home Construction in the Allegheny Highlands
Building a luxury custom home in West Virginia’s mountain region is one of the most significant investments you will make — and it deserves a builder who treats it that way. Tygarts Valley Construction specializes in custom home construction on the terrain and in the climate that defines Pocahontas County, delivering homes built precisely to your vision and engineered to perform for decades.
Every home we build is custom from the ground up. No floor plan libraries, no shortcuts. Your land, your vision, your home.
The Custom Home Process
From Site to Finished Home
A successful custom home build in mountain terrain starts long before framing begins. Our process covers every phase:
- Site evaluation — terrain, soil, drainage, and access assessment before planning begins
- Foundation and site preparation — excavation, grading, drainage planning, and concrete work engineered for mountain conditions
- Structural framing — post-frame or stick-frame construction selected based on the home’s design, site, and performance requirements
- Custom finishes and detailing — every interior and exterior finish selected and installed to a luxury standard
- Punch list and final walkthrough — no project closes until every detail meets the standard we set at the start
Built for Mountain Living
Luxury homes on Snowshoe Mountain and throughout Pocahontas County face conditions that require more than standard residential construction. Snow loads, freeze-thaw cycles, steep access grades, and variable soil demand engineering decisions that protect your investment long-term. We account for all of it — in the foundation design, the framing system, the insulation strategy, and the drainage planning.
Site Preparation & Foundation Work
The quality of a custom home begins below grade. Tygarts Valley Construction handles complete site preparation and foundation work for every custom home project, including:
- Land clearing, excavation, and grading
- Drainage system design and installation
- Access road construction for remote or steep lots
- Concrete slab and foundation work with proper reinforcement, base preparation, and freeze-thaw protection
