At Home With Roby

At Home With Roby

Founded in 1950, Andrew Roby, Inc. is one of the premier residential construction companies in the Carolinas, specializing in custom homes, additions, full-home remodels, and kitchen and bath renovations while “making it home” for clients through exceptional craftsmanship and lifelong service. Headquartered in Charlotte with offices in Boone and Asheville, the company anchors the Roby Family of Companies, the largest comprehensive construction group in the Carolinas, which also includes Roby Services (electrical, handyman & small projects, HVAC, and plumbing), Roby Commercial (commercial and senior living construction and renovations), and Roby Realty (residential and commercial real estate). Celebrating 75 years of superior service, the Roby name continues to represent integrity, community, and a commitment to excellence. Today, that legacy lives on through the At Home with Roby Podcast, where Trent Haston and Patrick MacIsaac share construction insight, leadership and entrepreneurship conversations, and guest stories airing each Thursday at 9 AM.
