Design-build
In-house planning from concept to commissioning — load calcs, equipment selection, duct design, and the drawings our own shop fabricates from.
Service
Project Support
Design-build, retrofit, renovation, and new-construction mechanical work delivered by the team that's been building western North Carolina since 1958 — from a single rooftop unit replacement to the full mechanical package on a new hotel.
What we deliver
Projects, sized to your scope.
Hotels, schools, medical buildings, churches, restaurants — the project portfolio we've built since 1958 spans every building type in the mountains. Our sweet spot is the work that's too complex for a handyman and too operational for a generalist GC.
Rooftop unit change-outs
Crane day to commissioning — including the adapter curbs our shop builds so the new unit lands on the old opening, plus refrigerant piping, electrical, and start-up.
New construction
Complete mechanical packages for new buildings — coordinated with the GC's schedule, fabricated in-house, installed by our own crews.
Plant retrofits & upgrades
End-of-life boiler and chiller replacement, capacity upgrades, VFD additions, and the energy retrofits that pay for themselves.
Controls upgrades
Pneumatic-to-DDC conversions and head-end replacements — coordinated with the mechanical work so the system actually runs when we're done.
Renovations & fit-outs
HVAC, ductwork, and kitchen ventilation for renovations and tenant build-outs — sequenced around your construction schedule, commissioned to your standards.
Why R&W for projects
The crew that designs it, fabricates it, installs it, and keeps it running.
Most mechanical projects suffer the same handoff problem: design firm hands drawings to a fabricator, fabricator ships duct to an install crew, install crew hands a system to a service company — and every handoff loses information. We close that loop completely.
R&W does the planning, the fabrication, the installation, and the repair in-house. The portfolio shows what that produces: the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Biltmore Forest Country Club, hotels from Marriott to Hilton, schools, churches, and the plants that make things in these mountains. Sixty-eight years of projects, and we service most of them to this day.

Let's scope it together.
Send us your scope — or just the symptoms. "The boiler is at end-of-life and we're not sure what to do next" is a great starting point. We'll walk the site, develop options, and come back with a proposal.
