Our Story
Rosa and Butter Bean
Blue Ridge Burros was an idea conceived at the beginning of 2019 when Beth Griffin decided it was time to turn her lifelong love for animals into a business. With the acquisition of two sweet girls, Poppy and Bean, Beth launched Blue Ridge Burros with the intention of introducing the Appalachian’s Original Party Animals to weddings, corporate events, and parties across the region. Poppy and Bean are ready to mingle with your guests so get in touch today!

Testimonials
“Peter has done several small and large projects for my old Victorian home on Grove Street. He’s always incredibly professional and accommodating. I know I can trust him to work diligently even when I’m away on vacation.”
“People have been complimenting my bathroom nonstop since Peter remodeled it three years ago. Everything’s still got that new sheen and the tilework is just awesome.”
“I’ve been hiring the Sweeneys since I first moved into my house over 70 years ago. They did my kitchen cabinets, fixed my drains, and even rewired the lights in my bedroom into a single switch! There’s nothing the Sweeney’s can’t do.”
“I had this toilet that always had a problem. Either it was a leak or a plug. It was always giving me a headache. I’d hired other plumbers in the neighborhood, but problems would always come back. Since Peter worked on it last year, it’s been working perfectly. I’m so grateful!”

About Me
MY NAME IS PETER
I started apprenticing for my dad, Peter Sweeney, Jr. when I was twelve, but even before that I was watching him work all the time. My grandpa established our company in 1918, back when we specialized in carpentry and woodwork. Dad picked up new trades and expanded our business. I’ve been servicing the greater Wichita area for over 15 years and am about to bring my oldest son in as an assistant.
