5 Best Home Builders in Atlanta (2026)

Ranked by real Google ratings and review volume · How we chose

We compared 19 home builders in Atlanta on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

Building a house from the ground up can take a year or more: one Six Points client bought land in November 2021, started construction the following February and moved in February 2023. The home builders in Atlanta below hold more than 150 Google reviews between them, rated 4.8 to 5, but each profile rests on a modest number of reviews, from more than 15 to more than 35, so speaking to past clients matters more than the star count.

Short answer: Stokesman Luxury Homes leads with a 4.8 rating from more than 35 Google reviews, followed by Six Points Homes (4.9) and Pemberley Properties LLC, which holds a perfect 5.0. These are small review bases, so ask each builder for recent client references and a contract that spells out how the budget is handled.

Stokesman Luxury Homes

4.840 Google reviews

Stokesman Luxury Homes is a custom home builder on Pharr Road NE that Google also lists as a building firm and building consultant.

What people praise

  • A client who built a dream home praised the work quality, attention to detail and meeting deadlines
  • A long-time customer says the lead builder is at the site every day, making sure work is up to code

SawHorse Inc

4.833 Google reviews

SawHorse Inc is a design-build firm on Miami Circle NE whose site describes custom homes, renovations and high-performance construction grounded in building science, including Passive House projects. Google lists it as a custom home builder, architect and interior designer. Its site talks about energy modeling and field testing rather than a set of green products.

What people praise

  • A client building both a Passive House and a conventional high-performance home praises its building-science knowledge
  • A glass contractor who works alongside its project managers calls the jobsites neat, organized and well scheduled
  • A client who valued quality and performance recommends it for building in greater Atlanta
  • One reviewer who could not afford the firm says the owner still shared helpful pointers

Worth knowing

  • A focus on high-performance construction may be more than a basic spec build needs

Our take: The builder to meet if energy performance, comfort and moisture control matter as much as the floor plan. Ask for the energy modeling it would run on your lot.

About the scorecards

Ratings and review counts come from public Google data on the date shown. With counts this small, treat all of it as a first filter.

What to expect when budgeting a home build (2026)

None of the reviews or sites here states what a house costs, so ask each builder for a written budget. What moves a build is the lot, the design, the level of finish and how many changes arrive after the contract. Pemberley’s clients describe a fair contract structure and transparent budget, and SawHorse’s site describes designing for energy performance up front, which changes the specification.

Where these builders are based

Stokesman Luxury Homes is on Pharr Road NE, Pemberley Properties on Hawthorne Drive NE and SawHorse on Miami Circle NE, all in Atlanta, while Six Points Homes is in Chamblee and Longo Custom Builders in Smyrna. One SawHorse client built a rental house in Home Park, and Longo’s site names a Serenbe home among its award entries. Looking for home builders near you? Call and ask which neighborhoods each is building in now.

Questions for a home builder

  • Can I speak with two clients whose homes were finished in the past year?
  • Is the contract fixed price or cost plus, and what is not included?
  • Who is on site day to day, and who is my main contact?
  • How do you handle material delays and schedule changes?
  • What does service after move-in look like, and for how long?

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to build a custom home in Atlanta?

It varies, but one Six Points client documents the full arc: land purchased in November 2021, construction started in February 2022, and move-in in February 2023. Ask any builder for a schedule that separates design from construction.

Which of these builders does high-performance or Passive House work?

SawHorse Inc. Its site describes custom homes built on building science, Passive House, healthy homes and energy efficiency, and one client reviewer says they are working with it on both a full Passive House and a regular high-performance home.

Can these builders also handle additions and renovations?

Pemberley Properties’ customers describe an extension and opened-up living spaces, a Six Points buyer had a basement finished, and SawHorse lists renovations on its site. Longo Custom Builders’ site mentions an award for an entire-home remodel.

What help is there after moving into a new home?

Several Six Points reviewers praise service after the sale, and one says the firm contacted them at the one-year mark to touch up paint and check that every issue was resolved. Ask any builder for its warranty terms in writing.

Choosing a builder

Stokesman Luxury Homes is the default on review volume, Six Points Homes stands out for service after closing, and SawHorse is the call for high-performance building. Read each contract closely, and speak with recent clients before you commit.
