About Precision
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.
