In a region defined by resilience and natural beauty, building something that lasts takes more than lumber and nails—it takes heart.
That’s what Smoky Top Construction delivers in every project across Sevier County and beyond. Whether it’s a custom mountain cabin, a vacation rental, or a small commercial build, Smoky Top is the partner East Tennesseans trust to turn visions into reality.
From Wildfire Recovery to Real Estate Revival
The building boom in Sevier County didn’t happen overnight. It was born from hardship—the wildfires of 2016—and sustained by the county’s unique resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike many areas, Sevier County stayed open, and that decision sparked something powerful.
“Because the area stayed open, we saw interest grow rapidly,” says David Burdette, builder and project lead at Smoky Top. “We received calls from states and regions we’d never had business from before.”
From investors eyeing long-term returns to families seeking fresh starts in the Smokies, the demand hasn’t stopped—and neither has Smoky Top.
Mountain-Building Expertise That Matters
Building in the Smoky Mountains isn’t for amateurs. Between steep grades, unpredictable weather, and tight local regulations, it takes serious skill to get it right.
That’s where Smoky Top excels:

Winter is for planning—not breaking ground. Smoky Top times projects to avoid costly weather delays. - Reliable, Skilled Crews
With a network of trusted subcontractors and experienced builders, quality isn’t a question—it’s a guarantee.
“We approach each job with care,” Burdette says. “Understanding the land, the vision, and the client’s needs from the very start.”
