In 1978, brothers Benson and Harrison Tyner were running a beloved deli and ice cream parlor in Burnsville, NC. They began dabbling in real estate, first a few transactions, then a few more, until their attention shifted from ice cream and pastrami to property and building potential. That’s how Tyner Real Estate, which later morphed into Tyner Construction, was founded.
The Tyner Brothers’ Journey
Tyner Real Estate flourished, and before long, the brothers expanded into remodeling. Their very first job in 1979 involved hauling dirt from a crawl space in empty pickle buckets salvaged from the deli, a humble beginning for what would become an enduring legacy. It didn’t take long to see that the local real estate market couldn’t always deliver what clients wanted. The solution was clear: start building fully customized homes and buildings that brought those visions to life.
Crafting Homes and
Communities with Integrity
With a reputation built on tireless work ethic, meticulous attention to detail, and uncompromising integrity, the Tyner brothers quickly became sought after for more than just homes. They were commissioned to construct medical and dental offices throughout Asheville and beyond: projects that soon led to crafting dream residences for those same clients.
Today, under the leadership of President Marc Tyner, Tyner Construction continues the tradition of craftsmanship, quality, and service established by its founders. Marc, alongside a devoted team of managers and artisans (many with over 20 years at the company), brings the original founders’ passion to every project, turning our clients’ visions for their homes into reality.
From our offices in Burnsville and Asheville, we create bespoke homes across the region’s most spectacular settings: serene lakeshores, sweeping mountain ridges, wooded estates, and the vibrant, art-filled heart of Asheville. Every Tyner home reflects not only the beauty of its surroundings, but also the enduring promise to build with care, integrity, and excellence.
