John Judd Jr. has been passionate about building for as long as he can remember. As a teenager, he spent his summers working with a custom home builder, gaining hands-on experience that would lay the foundation for his future in construction. After graduating from TC Roberson High School in Asheville, he continued his education at Montreat College in Black Mountain, NC. However, his love for building never faded. After college, he started from the ground up, working as a laborer for a large contractor before joining his father in Alaska. There, he worked alongside John Sr. for a commercial and residential builder, quickly proving his leadership and expertise. His dedication earned him a promotion to construction superintendent, where he managed large teams across multiple developments, further honing his skills and deepening his passion for the craft.
John Jr. shares his father’s hands-on approach to project management, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Known for his ability to juggle multiple jobs simultaneously, he keeps a close eye on every project’s plans and details, ensuring schedules stay on track. His active presence on job sites guarantees that tradesmen meet the exacting standards that define Judd Builders. But for him, it’s more than just building homes—it’s about transforming spaces and creating something meaningful. He takes great pride in every project, knowing that Judd Builders has built a reputation for treating clients and employees like family.
At home, family is at the heart of everything he does. John and his wife, Sandy, live in Fairview with their three children, Jessica, Jack, and Winslow. They love Fairview for the peaceful country setting while still being just 15 minutes from Asheville. When he’s not on a job site, you’ll find him outdoors—running, hiking, or biking.
Jerry has been immersed in residential construction his entire life. As a third-generation home builder in Asheville, NC, he grew up learning the craft from his father and grandfather—two men who taught him the right way to build homes from an early age. Though he earned a teaching degree from Mars Hill University and still applies those skills while coaching youth sports, his true passion has always been home building. Over the years, that passion has only grown, and his natural leadership abilities have led him to excel as a superintendent, overseeing multiple projects and crews with precision and care.
Having worked as a subcontractor for years, Jerry had firsthand experience with many home builders in Western North Carolina. So when he made the decision to join a builder full-time, he chose Judd Builders. Since joining the team 18 years ago, he has become an invaluable leader, ensuring that every project meets the highest standards of quality and client satisfaction.
At home, Jerry cherishes time with his wife, Stephanie, their children, and grandchild. Living in Weaverville, they are deeply involved in the local schools and sports community.
“What I love about my job is when a client shows me a picture from a magazine for inspiration, and we take that idea, build on it, and absolutely knock it out of the park. I’m committed to giving them exactly what they want—and having fun along the way.”
Parker grew up in Wilmington, NC, and earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from UNCW. He thrives in the fun, friendly atmosphere at the Judd Builders office, where laughter and teamwork go hand in hand. More than anything, he takes great pride in being part of a company known for its commitment to quality and genuine care for both clients and employees.
Behind the scenes, Parker is the one making things happen. His responsibilities span job site safety, bookkeeping, payroll, and managing relationships with subcontractors and vendors. Beyond the logistics, he plays a key role in fostering a positive and supportive company culture. With his sharp analytical mind and strong decision-making and problem-solving skills, he ensures everything in the office runs smoothly.
“I love many facets of my job, but working with clients is definitely a highlight. My favorite quote is by Roger Staubach: ‘There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.’ I like to think that’s exactly how we operate—going above and beyond to build our clients’ dream homes.”
Parker lives with his wife in Fletcher and love exploring all that Hendersonville and Asheville have to offer.
