What Dawson County Homeowners Are Saying
"We selected five possible builders and after an exhaustive process we decided on Precision Custom Homes. Several things made us choose them. Dan was the only builder to stress he was building 'our' house — the rest felt like we were buying a spec house. They design from the ground up, so you get exactly what you want. It also does not hurt that this is a family company. From design to construction you're always dealing with a family that takes pride in their work. We just got the keys and we are so happy with it all."
"Precision Custom Homes' foundation is a great team. From the planning, design, and build process we felt confident of the work being completed. They built our home during the middle of the pandemic, and through the craziness of that time period, Precision's professionalism and communication led to a successful, beautiful build. We cannot recommend them enough! If you're considering building a home in North Georgia, look no further!"
"Precision completed our 9,000+ square foot custom home in 2023 and we have been very happy — clearly a 5 star end product. Dan & Katy, Ben (project manager — at the site each day), Larry (quality control), and Jared (preconstruction and project costing) are a 5 star team. The build had a fair amount of complexity and they handled it with professionalism throughout."
