Jennifer Bombardo with Southland Custom Homes’ Winder Office is their secret weapon. We built a large, multi-generational home in 2023. The 5 months we spent planning and designing the home with Jennifer it was what made the project a resounding success. I’m a stickler for details. And I am not afraid to spend the time and effort to research and explore the best options. Jennifer matched me with her enthusiasm for getting the layout, design, and contract details right. We built a highly customized version of the Lionheart plan, with Jennifer tirelessly working with me to customize every inch. She never complained about the multi-hour marathon sessions where we ironed out minute details and explored different options. If I wanted something out of the ordinary for our home, Jennifer would work with her boss, Robb Smith, to find cost-effective solutions and options. Jennifer was also laser focused on keeping us within budget—more so than I was. She never pushed needless upgrades—often talking me out of upgrades I thought I needed. Jennifer’s sage advice and industry experience allowed us to go into the build process with a financial cushion for unexpected changes and upgrades. While our home was not cheap, we received a fair price for the quality of the home we built. Frankly, finding a better price per square foot for the level of customization and high end finishes our home has would be difficult. For example, it would have easily cost us $15 to $20K in design and architectural services if we had used another builder. But because Jennifer’s services are part of Southland’s build package, I was able to put those savings into our home. But the best part is Jennifer’s openness and warmth. The rumors are true: building a custom home is super stressful. It is the biggest investment of most people’s lives. And imperfect people must work closely together to put foundations (literal and figurative) under a family’s dream. But the initial relationship I built with Jennifer saved my sanity (and likely everyone else’s) during this build. It made it easier to transfer my hopes and dreams to her teammates when the design process ended–including our building superintendent, Tim Nichols, Robb and Wendy at corporate, as well as the host of subcontracting teams I spent over a year of my life working with. Bottom line: Southland Custom Homes is filled with good people trying to do the right thing by their customers while making an honest living. Highly recommend the entire company—but start with Jennifer first!

Southland homes build my house in 2017-2018 Worst construction quality. The doors all improperly installed everything is crooked poor quality in craftsmanship. Not bad materials, just no one works there with any pride. They talk about high quality paint but in reality it was the cheapest paint available by Sherwin Williams. The paint on the front rails pealed within a year. Walls are cracking. I am seriously considering legal action. DONT USE THIS BUILDER THEY NEED TO BE OUT OF BUSINESS

Called Winder and Dawsonville, never answered their phones and didn’t return messages. It’s a shame.
