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, and their two children, Gabe and Lilly. Living in Weaverville, they are deeply involved in the local schools and sports community.
