Three Generations of Custom Builders

B. E. Vaughan & Son, Inc. has been building in the Piedmont area of North Carolina for over fifty years. B. E. Vaughan formed the company in 1955. B. E. worked as a cabinet maker at Sears & Roebuck and became interested in building houses. He began building smaller houses but it was evident that B.E.'s attention to detail and hands on approach were destined for greater things. These assets would enable him to start constructing custom homes, building one a year. B.E. employed a full-time crew who did everything from footings to trim work.

B.E.'s son Randy worked with him when he could through school, taking the same hands on approach and started full-time in 1970. Randy learned the business quite quickly and the company grew and constructed multiple homes. Over a period of years Randy took the company's direction on a different path, constructing commercial buildings and retro-fitting homes using the same quality that was instilled in him when building custom homes. This diversification has sustained B. E. Vaughan & Son, Inc. through today.

Now a third generation, general contractor John, will carry this tradition of quality construction into the future. The latest achievement for the company is becoming a certified HealthyBuilt Homes builder. "Building Green" means they practice sustainable, high performance building strategies that make a home comfortable, healthy and affordable while reducing energy and water usage, promoting renewable energy use and protecting the land where they build.
