A Home Builder Rooted in Cannon County’s Handmade Traditions
Heath Construction brings honest craftsmanship and straightforward communication to every custom home, addition, deck, and shop we build for families around Woodbury, Short Mountain, and the rolling farmland of Cannon County.
Woodbury has long been known as the “Chair City of the South,” a nod to the generations of craftsmen who built furniture by hand in shops scattered across Cannon County. That same spirit of patient, skilled work is what guides every project we take on here, whether it’s a full custom build or a room addition tucked onto a farmhouse near Short Mountain.
Many of the homes we work on sit on acreage along John Bragg Highway or the quieter roads branching off toward the Stones River’s East Fork. These properties often come with septic systems, well water, or long gravel drives, details that require a builder who understands rural construction, not just subdivision framing.
As a residential construction company serving this part of Middle Tennessee, we bring the same discipline the town’s chair makers were known for: measure twice, build once, and stand behind the result. Homeowners here want construction that respects both the land and the family living on it.

From new home construction to a simple deck off the back porch, Heath Construction handles the full range of residential building and remodeling for Woodbury and the surrounding Cannon County community. Every project starts with a real conversation about your land, your budget, and your timeline before a single permit is filed.
Here is the complete list of services we bring to Woodbury homeowners.
Woodbury’s landscape shifts quickly from flat farmland to the wooded slopes climbing toward Short Mountain, and that variation matters when planning a build site. A lot near the Arts Center of Cannon County on the town square sits on different ground than acreage tucked into the hills off Short Mountain Highway, and grading, drainage, and foundation work need to account for that.
Many properties here still carry the working-land character Cannon County is known for, with barns, garden plots, and long tree lines bordering the building site. We plan additions and shops to work with that layout rather than fight it, keeping sightlines, access roads, and existing structures in mind from the first site visit.
Families relocating for the quieter pace near Woodbury, or those who grew up here and are building on inherited family land, both need a builder who treats the property with the same respect they do. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every job.
Homeowners across Cannon County want a builder who shows up when promised, communicates honestly, and stands behind the work long after the final walkthrough. Here’s what sets us apart for residential construction in and around Woodbury.
Building in Cannon County means planning around a few local realities before ground ever breaks. A little preparation up front saves real time and money once construction starts.
