A Family-Owned Builder Rooted in Gilmer County
At Precision Custom Home Builders, we don't build subdivisions — we build your home. Every floor plan, every material selection, and every finish detail is designed around your family, your property, and the way you want to live in the North Georgia mountains.
Founded in 2005 by Dan Ellsworth, Precision has completed over 250 custom homes across North Georgia. Gilmer County is one of our most active building areas — we understand the mountain terrain, the local permitting process, and what it takes to build homes that work with the land in this part of the Blue Ridge foothills. Read what our clients have to say.
Whether you're building on a ridgetop lot in High River, a wooded property in Falling Waters, or a mountain homesite near downtown Ellijay, we bring the same commitment: transparent communication, skilled craftsmanship, and a finished home that exceeds your expectations.

What Sets Us Apart from Other Gilmer County Builders
Choosing a custom home builder is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Here's why families across Gilmer County trust Precision.
Deep Local Expertise
We live and build in Gilmer County. That means firsthand knowledge of local terrain, zoning regulations, permitting processes, and HOA guidelines — from downtown Ellijay's in-town lots to mountain homesites in High River and Falling Waters. No learning curve, no surprises.
Truly Custom Design
We never build the same house twice. Our in-house design team creates floor plans from scratch, tailored to your lifestyle, lot characteristics, and budget. Mountain ridges, wooded hillsides, or valley homesites — every design works with the land, not against it. Preview your home before we break ground with our interactive 3D walkthroughs.

Premium materials, energy-efficient systems, and meticulous attention to detail at every phase. From the foundation to the final coat of paint, we build homes that deliver long-term comfort, beauty, and performance — backed by craftsmanship that exceeds code requirements.
Transparent Process
Building a custom home should be exciting, not stressful. Dedicated project managers keep you informed with regular updates, clear timelines, and honest communication at every step — from initial consultation to the day we hand you the keys. See what makes our process different.
