A Family-Owned Builder Rooted in Pickens County
At Precision Custom Home Builders, we don't build subdivisions — we build your home. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Pickens County offers the kind of mountain beauty and small-town character that deserves a home built with intention. Every floor plan, every material selection, and every finish detail is designed around your family, your property, and the way you want to live.
Founded in 2005 by Dan Ellsworth, Precision has completed over 250 custom homes across North Georgia. Pickens County is one of our most active build areas — from mountain estates in Bent Tree to custom homes on private acreage along GA-515. We know the terrain, the permitting process, and the communities here because we've been building in them for nearly two decades. Read what our clients have to say.
Whether you're building on a wooded ridgeline near Jasper, a scenic lot in Talking Rock, or a gated community site in Bent Tree, we bring the same commitment: transparent communication, skilled craftsmanship, and a finished home that exceeds your expectations.

What Pickens County Homeowners Are Saying
"Having Precision build our forever home was the best decision we ever made. The high-end craftsmanship is far superior to any of their rivals — friends and family constantly compliment the quality when they visit. Every detail, no matter how minor, is expertly planned and executed. The biggest reason we loved working with Precision were the people. With our previous build in Texas, it felt like a business transaction. With Precision, it felt more like family was helping build our dream home. They worked hard to make sure our vision came to fruition, even if it meant putting in extra work."
"We couldn't have asked for a better partner for our project! This was the first home we built from the ground up and Precision was very patient with us and our 40 questions. As we agreed in the beginning, there's no such thing as a perfect build — speedbumps are going to happen. Precision was very professional in guiding us through those rough patches. We always found a creative solution to get through. As we were closing in on completion, we had an aggressive vacate date and Precision rose to the occasion to get us into the house. If I were to build another home, they would be our first choice!"
"Precision Custom Home Builders impressed us from the start with their approach, detailed project plans, and transparency. The fact that it was a family-run business added to the appeal for us. They built our amazingly beautiful home with quality, smiling faces, great attitudes, and the highest level of professionalism. Their immediate team was equally impressive and passionate, and their subcontractors were superbly helpful and insightful. We'd not only recommend Dan, Katy and his team to strangers, but even to our family and best of friends."
