My family and I have purchased two log homes built by David Burdette. The last home was designed and equipped to endure not only the local harsh climate, but year-round vacation lodgers. Based on a consistent five-star rating from our guests, our home has held up extremely well, thanks to the quality construction and Mr. Burdette’s attention to detail. Mr. Burdette genuinely cares about his customers, the people he employees and the vendors he uses. He hand picks his team to ensure they possess the same integrity and work ethic that he exemplifies. I look back on the construction process and working with Mr. Burdette as one of the more enjoyable times in my life; the entire process was a pleasure. To this day, I call upon Mr. Burdette for maintenance and enhancements. I consider Mr. Burdette to be an honorable man of extreme talent, quality and integrity. He is well respected in the city of Gatlinburg and surrounding counties. I am proud to now call him a close and personal friend.

David Burdette built us a house that we were thrilled with! He was flexible, caring, meticulous, and knowledgeable. His employees and subcontractors were easy to work with and took pride in their work. The finished product was beautiful and went beyond all our expectations. Over the years, we have had David update and refurbish our house several times and his standards have continually remained high. All in all, we have been more than satisfied with the quality of service, the workmanship and the integrity with which it is delivered.”

We so appreciate you and all the help you gave us, as our eyes on the ground. Beyond that it was just great to get to know you, and I know we’ll stay in touch. And hopefully work together on a project again!”

I have been asked on several occasions why use a custom builder over just anyone who calls themselves a builder and how you choose your builder.

A true Custom Builder has earned the title by years spent learning the total process and is more than someone with a list of contactors to hire on demand. Someone that can help you with making the unbelievable number of decisions. Someone that tailors the solutions for you to build Your home. Someone that builds your home and not a choice from a limited number of options. A craftsman in the purest sense of the word.

I was fortunate to find Smoky Top Construction after interviewing many builders. I have been living in my home for 13 quality years now and would make the same choice of builder today. The true measure of this experience is that we are still friends to this day. David is a skilled Custom Builder and, more importantly, he is an honest and honorable family man that I am proud to have as a friend.”

From our first conversation with Dave Burdette and Smoky Top Construction, we have found a well-informed, capable, competent contractor whose team is simply outstanding. Every interaction was straight forward, honest and reliable. The workmanship of the entire team is exemplary. The craftsmanship, construction, details, electrical, plumbing, flooring, you name it, this team does it thoroughly, accurately and with skill. Our home is beautifully constructed with the utmost care and quality. This mountain home exceeds our highest expectations and dreams. Moreover, Dave and his wonderful crew and team go out of their way to help us in any way. Dave not only builds high quality homes, he builds long lasting and meaningful relationships that we will always cherish
