How it started

Sexton Brothers Construction started as a conversation between Joey and Josh Sexton in 2017. Josh had been in the construction industry for years. Joey had recently returned to construction after serving in the Air Force and completing his master’s degree. Joey and Josh convinced brother Micah to join the new company.  Sexton Brothers Construction, LLC was in business.

About 9 months later, a structural engineer called.  He said he had a backlog of 40 engineering reports where customers needed foundation repairs. He offered to train us in all things foundation and waterproofing if we would help him help his clients. We agreed.

We learned to perform repairs and water mitigation to his specifications. We also learned to assess foundation and water situations that may not require engineered designs. We learned to develop and implement creative solutions to the unique challenges faced by homeowners in the mountains of Western North Carolina.

500+ foundations later, we continue to grow and prosper as we serve the needs of our customers. We love the personal and professional relationships that developed over the years. We enjoy the challenges presented by this unique terrain and wet climate. And we love the satisfaction of a job well done.

  • Director of External Communications

    When you call or email Sexton Brothers, you will probably speak to Courtney first. Courtney handles all of our scheduling processes, along with overseeing our communications and billing.

    Courtney has been married to Joey since 2007. While he served in the Air Force Honor Guard, she worked on Joint Base Anacostia/Bolling. Over the 3 years she worked on base, she rose quickly from a part-time lifeguard, to the pool supervisor, to the Assistant Director of Outdoor Recreation for the base, to the Marina Manager.

    Since she and Joey returned home, Courtney has worked as a pharmacy technician, and then as a Project Coordinator for a structural engineering firm covering the Southeast.

    Courtney and Joey have two boys. She loves being outside with them, and with her dogs, chickens, and horses. She still loves walking in the woods, going fishing with her dad, and going on dates with Joey. And marrying her is, of course, the best decision Joey ever made.
