A Home Builder Serving Franklin County’s Historic Seat
Heath Construction brings honest craftsmanship and straightforward communication to every custom home, addition, deck, and shop we build for families around the Winchester square, Sewanee Highway, and the surrounding Franklin County countryside.
Winchester has long served as the county seat of Franklin County, anchored by its historic courthouse square and a steady mix of longtime residents and newcomers drawn by the drive up to Sewanee and the University of the South. That blend shows up in the kinds of projects we get called for here: young families adding a bathroom or bedroom to an older home near downtown, retirees planning a custom build with room to spread out, and landowners along Boiling Fork Creek or out toward Cowan wanting a shop or garage to match their property.
As a residential construction company working throughout Franklin County, Heath Construction understands that Winchester homeowners want a builder who shows up when promised and communicates clearly from the first estimate to the final walkthrough. We treat every home addition contractor conversation the same way, whether the job is a small laundry room addition or a full custom home build.
Our team handles the full range of residential construction services, from new home construction and move-in ready homes to outdoor living spaces and detached garage construction. Winchester’s mix of in-town lots and outlying acreage means every project gets a plan suited to the actual site, not a one-size approach.

Heath Construction offers a complete lineup of building and remodeling services for Winchester and the rest of Franklin County. Whether you are planning a ground-up custom home or a single-room addition, our crews bring the same standard of craftsmanship to every job.
Below is the full range of residential construction services we provide to homeowners and landowners in the Winchester area.
Winchester’s landscape shifts quickly from town to country. Homes near the courthouse square and the older neighborhoods along Dinah Shore Boulevard sit on established lots with mature trees and existing utility lines, while properties farther out toward Cowan, Sewanee Highway, or the base of the Cumberland Plateau often come with more acreage, sloped terrain, and longer utility runs.
We have built additions for homeowners just blocks from downtown Winchester and framed shops for landowners with views toward the plateau rising behind town. Each site brings its own grading, drainage, and access considerations, and we plan every project around the land it sits on rather than a generic template.
Franklin County’s proximity to the University of the South in Sewanee also brings a steady flow of families relocating to the area who want custom home construction that reflects both their taste and the practical realities of living near the mountain. We work with those families the same way we work with lifelong Winchester residents: with a clear plan and a builder who follows through.
Homeowners across Franklin County choose Heath Construction because we combine dependable craftsmanship with a straightforward, personal approach to every project. Here is what sets our work apart for Winchester clients.
Franklin County’s terrain and weather patterns shape how we approach every project near Winchester. Properties closer to the Cumberland Plateau can bring steeper grades and rockier soil, while lots near Boiling Fork Creek or other low-lying areas need careful attention to drainage and water flow.
