Lakeshore Homes & Design

Lakeshore Homes & Design is a residential contractor specializing in custom home design and new construction in Western North Carolina.

Lakeshore Homes was founded in 2021 by Dave and Josh Shultz, an architect father and a builder son, who saw the need for a design build firm that could simply deliver clients better quality, at a better price, with genuine and personal service every step of the way.

Our mission is not only to deliver clients with homes that last their family generations, but to give them an experience that is second to none every step of the process.

  • "Working with Josh & Dave at Lakeshore Homes and Design on building my home was a better experience than I ever could have hoped for. They were collaborative, responsive, and provided invaluable guidance and updates along the way. Throughout the process, I never questioned that they had my best interests in mind, and I fully trusted them - and there were never any surprises (budget or otherwise). I love my home, and they attended to every detail. I would hire them again in a minute and recommend them to others when the discussion of home builds arises. And not only are they great at their jobs - they are genuinely good people that I am thankful to know. "
