Our Story

Rooted in the High Country. Built on Craftsmanship.

Rakers was born out of a simple belief: every home deserves quality work, honest communication, and a team that stands behind what they build. Nestled in the mountains of Banner Elk, NC, we set out to become the most trusted exterior renovation company in the High Country — and that commitment drives everything we do.

From the very beginning, our foundation has been built on four pillars: quality, integrity, commitment, and warranty-backed work. These aren’t just words on a wall — they shape every project we take on, every crew we put on a job site, and every conversation we have with a homeowner.

A Team That Takes Pride in Every Detail

We are a crew of experienced professionals, each one specialized in their trade. From roofing and siding to decks, painting, and window replacements, our team brings hands-on expertise and a strong work ethic to every job. We operate across a 30–40 mile radius from Banner Elk, proudly serving homeowners throughout Boone, Blowing Rock, and the surrounding High Country communities.

We work under strict quality standards, follow manufacturer specifications, and comply with North Carolina building codes — not because we have to, but because your home deserves nothing less.

Why the High Country?

There’s something about these mountains that demands a different level of craftsmanship. The weather is unpredictable, the terrain is challenging, and the homes here are exposed to some of the harshest natural conditions in the Southeast. That’s exactly why Rakers exists — to give homeowners in this region access to exterior solutions that are built to last, no matter what the mountains throw at them.

Our Mission

To protect and enhance every home we touch through expert craftsmanship, reliable communication, and services backed by real warranties — so that every homeowner in the High Country can feel confident in the investment they’ve made in their property.

Our Vision

To be the go-to exterior renovation company in Western North Carolina — a business that grows through trust, quality results, and the long-term relationships we build with every client and partner we serve.

Rakers Construction is a great company to work with. I have a mountain cabin near Pisgah. Living in a forest is good for the soul but, carpenter bees and woodpeckers were destroying the fascia and soffits on my cabin. I was so happy to get a recommendation to call Rakers Construction. They responded quickly and got back to me with an estimate. They did an excellent job. We decided to use Hardie board to prevent future damage. They were always on time, polite and professional. The Raker’s crew that worked on my house were skilled craftsmen with an eye for detail and helpful suggestions! Everyone from the owner, the lady in the office, the estimator, the project manager and the crew were wonderful to work with. I will definitely call them again in the future.

My family has owned construction companies for 3 generations. Though not my chosen career I built my own house from concrete footings to finish carpentry. I know quality construction when I see it. Without a doubt Rakers Home Exterior Pros from the owner, his 2 brothers and including their whole talented crew are the finest construction professionals we have ever had work on any of our properties. Their skill level, workmanship, mastery of construction techniques was amazing to witness. There is nothing they can’t do. But there are other things about this company and employees that are equally confidence building.

Given my construction background I thought I had figured out exactly how our project needed to be done . . . that is until they asked us some politely put questions, listened to us and then made several suggestion that made real practical as well as esthetic sense. The end result is a finished job that exceeds our fondest hope. These are very intelligent people.

There is another reason this company is so pleasurable to work with. They are also personable, truly decent people who are respectful of homeowners, courteous, and take great care with your property. That begins with how they set up their equipment and supplies, to how they leave the worksite every day to the condition they leave your home when they are done. Everything is cleared away. There is no trash left for you to clean up. Truthfully we miss having them here.

We enthusiastically recommend Rakers Home Exterior Pros to you and do so without a single reservation. We feel blessed to have found them.

We hired Rakers to completely remodel our vacation home. As you can imagine there are a lot of challenges being that we are not there! Alistear and his team were amazing! They stayed in constant contact, sent videos and pics, answered questions quickly, resolved issues, met subcontractors for us for work outside the scope of our contract. I have no hesitation in recommending them at all!!!

Kelli Wolk

This group was quick to respond with estimate and scheduling. My roof needed repair and new shingles. Excellent work and reasonable pricing. I highly recommend!!

This company was really easy to work with. Some fascia had come off the house during Helene. I was referred to them by a neighbor in the construction business. They got right back to me and came to inspect the damage. I asked them to first take care of other folks who had more extensive damage from Helene, and we agreed. Not much longer the two brothers came and performed the work. And it was really, really cold on that day, and the necessary work was very high up. They were jovial and professional and did a great job. I would definitely recommend them and will hire them again for future work.

Bar none, Roger Camacho is the best home repair expert we have ever dealt with. Roger and his team repaired our front porch, which was literally ready to fall down, and he repaired the hardwood flooring in our kitchen under the refrigerator. Roger was concerned about not being able to match the 10+ year old floor that was in the kitchen, so he suggested creating a picture frame around the new wood flooring. The result was spectacular and I am kind of hoping that I need to repair the floor under the other appliances (stove, dish washer) so that Roger can come back and picture frame the rest of them. No doubt, Roger is our go to guy for serious home repair work. Best of luck Roger, your services are very much appreciated.
