Black Sheep Construction was founded on one principle: do things differently—and do them better. From custom home builds to major renovations, we blend modern design, quality craftsmanship, and transparent communication to deliver results that defy the ordinary.

We don’t cut corners. We don’t do cookie-cutter. And we never leave a job unfinished.

My name is Preston Leslie. Born and raised right here in Knoxville, and I’m not out here completing projects. I am building a reputation.

I own and operate Black Sheep Construction, a multi-op outfit with deep roots in excavation, grading, concrete, and retaining walls. Lately, we have been working on swimming pools and custom home builds. We’ve unlocked a new passion for building from the ground up.

I started at 18 years old with a landscaping company and a gut feeling made me feel I was not to work for anyone else.

Landscaping turned into more where I belong. We started building pools. That lit a fire. In 2025, I became a licensed General Contractor. Pools and residential construction are now a major part of the mission, stacked on a foundation of dirt, concrete, and hustle.

I am not here to play small. I am here to put my name on the list as Knoxville’s top General Contractors, one job at a time.

If you are looking for a crew that will show up and deliver every single day, welcome to Black Sheep.
