Harrelson Homes
Auburn, Alabama 36830
Auburn-native ownership on remodels, additions, and custom carpentry.
About
Harrelson Homes is owned by Will Harrelson, an Auburn native and Auburn University graduate. The shop pairs Will with lead superintendent Blake Richards on interior remodels, additions, and custom carpentry pieces, with a small-shop model that prioritizes one-on-one homeowner relationships over high-volume scheduling.
That structure means clients work directly with the owner from estimate through punch list. Featured by LJ Smith for renovation work, the firm has accumulated a portfolio that ranges from custom kitchens and additions to detail carpentry like custom mantles and built-ins, where the small-shop model lets craftsmanship lead.
The service menu covers interior and exterior remodeling, custom kitchens, home additions, decks and porches, carpentry, and built-in millwork. Auburn-area homeowners who want the principal personally involved in their project, rather than handed off to a project manager, are the natural fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns and runs Harrelson Homes?
Harrelson Homes is owned by Will Harrelson, an Auburn native and Auburn University graduate, who runs the shop alongside lead superintendent Blake Richards. That two-person leadership structure is part of why the firm operates as a small-shop residential contractor rather than a high-volume operation. Customers typically interact directly with Will and Blake from initial walkthrough through final walkthrough rather than through layered staff.
What kinds of projects fit Harrelson Homes best?
Harrelson Homes fits best on interior remodels, additions, and custom carpentry projects where craftsmanship and one-on-one homeowner communication matter more than speed. Custom kitchens, built-ins, mantles, decks, and porches all sit in this category. The small-shop model is purpose-built for that kind of work, where the owner's personal involvement on the jobsite is part of the value rather than a constraint on scheduling.
Has Harrelson Homes been featured publicly for its work?
Yes. Harrelson Homes has been featured by LJ Smith for renovation work. LJ Smith is a stair systems and millwork brand, and being featured by a national millwork manufacturer reflects the firm's emphasis on detail carpentry. That recognition lines up with the company's identity around custom mantles, built-ins, and trim, where finish craftsmanship is what differentiates the work from production-grade remodeling.
Is Harrelson Homes Auburn-based?
Yes. Harrelson Homes is run by Will Harrelson, an Auburn native and Auburn University graduate, with a service area centered on Auburn (ZIP 36830) and the surrounding Lee County market. Local roots mean familiarity with the specific neighborhoods, lot conditions, and architectural styles that define Auburn-area homes, particularly the older sections where remodeling and additions often involve careful matching to original character.
Does Harrelson handle custom carpentry as standalone work?
Harrelson Homes handles custom carpentry pieces, including custom mantles and built-ins, as part of its overall menu. Some of that work is standalone, and some of it sits inside larger remodel or addition projects. The shop's emphasis on detail carpentry means these aren't add-on items handled by a subcontractor; they're often the highlight of a finished project where the owner's hands-on involvement shows up most clearly.
Why work with a small shop instead of a larger Auburn firm?
Working with a small shop like Harrelson Homes means direct owner involvement, fewer simultaneous projects per crew, and more attention to detail carpentry and finish. Larger firms can often deliver faster on bigger scopes, but the personal accountability and craftsmanship a smaller shop provides on remodels, additions, and custom interior work is what brings homeowners specifically to operations like Harrelson rather than to a higher-volume Auburn builder.
