Retune Restoration is quietly redefining what it means to truly feel at home. Founded by craftsman Alex Nebe, this Asheville-based business blends timeless woodworking techniques with a deeply personal approach to design, creating meaningful and beautiful spaces for their clients.

Retune Restoration is a custom woodworking and preservation company with a mission to ensure that your home reflects you. After years honing his skills in boat building and custom furniture, Alex felt called to offer something more than a standard contractor. What he created is a collaborative experience where homeowners are both clients and partners in bringing their vision to fruition.

“Every project begins with listening,” Alex shares. That philosophy is evident in every detail of Retune’s work.

What makes Retune Restoration truly unique is its commitment to craftsmanship at the highest level. Alex remains personally involved in each project, supported by a small team of highly skilled artisans who share his dedication to excellence.

From custom built-ins and architectural millwork to statement mantels, fine trim and bespoke furniture, every piece is thoughtfully designed to belong in your home. With a designer’s eye and an artisan’s touch, Retune creates work that feels intentional, cohesive and enduring.

For homeowners in Biltmore Park, where homes are already beautifully curated, Retune offers an opportunity to elevate those spaces even further. Imagine a home office lined with custom shelving, a cozy living room anchored by a handcrafted mantel, or intricate wood paneling that adds warmth and character: these are the details that transform a house into something customized and personal.

Beyond their work in homes, Retune Restoration is passionate about preserving traditional trades and sharing those skills with the community. Through partnerships with organizations like Foundation Woodworks, they host hands-on workshops in Asheville’s River Arts District.

These experiences invite participants to learn skills like restoring traditional wood windows, woodturning and even spoon carving, offering a rare opportunity to connect with craftsmanship in a tangible way. It’s all part of a larger mission: when more people understand and appreciate the craft, the entire community benefits.

For Alex, craftsmanship is about who he is. When he’s not working on a client’s home, you’ll likely find him restoring his own, exploring regenerative gardening or spending time outdoors with his family. The natural beauty of Asheville serves as both inspiration and grounding, influencing the thoughtful, organic feel of his work.

Retune Restoration is built on the belief that your home should bring you pride, joy, comfort and functionally support how you actually live. 

 

Alex and his team are eager for the opportunity to bring their signature craftsmanship to the neighborhood and to earn the trust of homeowners looking for something truly special.
