J.W. York Homes is a home building team located in Athens, GA that specializes in the design and construction of both custom and speculative single family homes.

Our homes exceed the typical “code built” new construction homes that most builders are currently producing.

We have developed a system for our homes that promotes energy efficiency, indoor air quality, water conservation, and long lasting quality products. The result is a home that costs less to operate and maintain, is healthier for your family, has more sustainable characteristics, and will compete favorably with future home inventory.

We pride ourselves in our customer service from our first interviews with clients, until we hand you the keys, and beyond. We feel it is imperative to be up front about pricing, provide proper budgets and schedules for selections, and involve our clients in the process. We use an online project management software to keep our clients informed with schedules, budgets, change orders, and selections.

All of these systems combined make it easy for us to stand behind our homes 100%.

### All 3 reviews

**★★★★ — She Abe, March 2015**

> Thank you, J. W. York Homes. Jared worked well with our architect, Lori Bork Newcomer, to come up with a design that would be cost effective to build.

**★★★★★ — Pat Wiegert, Oct. 2014**

> York built our house to specifications prepared by our architect in Athens, all the while we were living 3,000 miles away in California. People thought we were nuts but with the right people on the construction site, it can be done. Our new home is the proof.
> Jerod's people worked closely with our architect, providing us with great ideas for tile, carpet, flooring, paint colors, every little piece that goes into building a house. We had very definite ideas about window placement, counter heights, textures & lighting. Other areas had us at a loss, but not for long with the helpful ideas provided. Our home was built to meet strict Earth Craft standards & we're thrilled with the result. Any little glitch that arose after our move-in was addressed promptly and professionally.
> Recordkeeping on costs vs. budget were clear & accurate. Loved their on-line system to track everything down to the smallest item.

**★★★★★ — S Dic, Nov. 2012**

> York Homes designed and built our home this year.  Their attention to project management, detail, and fine-tuned results is unmatched in this area.  Even after moving in, they were available answer any questions or concerns.
