Customizable New Home Floor Plans

Every Walnut Ridge Construction home begins with a personalized plan — designed to fit your lifestyle, your land, and your vision. Unlike many builders, we don’t lock you into a single floor plan or builder agreement before you own your design. Instead, we connect you directly with a professional plan designer who works one-on-one with you to bring your dream home to life. Once your design is complete, you own the plans — giving you full flexibility and peace of mind.

Testimonials

Tellico Village

“We interviewed several builders before choosing Walnut Ridge, but what sold us was their open-book pricing and constant communication. We saw every invoice and cost, and there were zero surprises. The process was honest and smooth from start to finish.”

Sarah & Mark L.

Rarity Bay

“From our very first meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Kenny and his team took the time to understand our needs, our land, and our budget. Our home fits our lot perfectly and turned out even better than we imagined.”

Tom & Rachel B.

Loudon County

“The craftsmanship is outstanding. Every trim line, cabinet, and stone detail feels intentional. It’s clear Walnut Ridge Construction takes pride in every home they build.”

Greg & Melissa K.

WindRiver Community

“We were building from Florida, and Kenny kept us updated with progress photos, budget reports, and quick responses. We never felt out of the loop, even from hundreds of miles away.”

David & Karen T.

Monroe County

“We’ve built before, and this was by far the best experience. The cost-plus contract gave us peace of mind, and the workmanship exceeded expectations. We would recommend Walnut Ridge to anyone building in Tennessee.”

Mark & Sheila R.

Blount County

“I've had the pleasure of knowing the general contractor of Walnut Ridge Construction, Kenny Schmidt, for over 20 years. So, when it came time to build a house, there's only one person I trusted to take care of me. You'll never meet a more honest person in your life.”
