We know the land, the building codes, the HOA requirements, and the communities — because we live and work here. Read what our clients have to say.

What Cherokee County Homeowners Are Saying
"We started this labor of love of building our forever home when we found and purchased our beautiful 16-acre property. The home building process, at first, seemed a daunting and arduous journey, and while the number of decisions was by no means easy, the Precision Homes Team made the process smooth and even remained a sounding board for my wavering decision-making through the entire process. We selected Precision Homes for three main reasons: they had an architect firm connected to Precision, which we felt was necessary when custom-designing our home, the detailed documentation provided throughout the process, and the family-oriented business model. Dan and his Precision Team understood exactly what we wanted to achieve in building this home."
"We are extremely pleased with our Precision custom built home. It was a long process but it was worth it because we now have our dream home!"
"I cannot recommend Precision enough. They have simplified the massive undertaking of homebuilding into manageable sections. From how Dan presented the process and the team in the first meeting to the completion of the home, they remained consistent in their communication and customer service. They built us a high-quality home and did not cut any corners. Ben Wells served as the project manager on our build, and he is outstanding — responsive, informative, and patient. We have been in our home about a month now and Precision has continued to come out and address minor issues. If you are planning to build, definitely choose Precision!"
