**★★★★★ — Tony Lewis, Oct. 2016**

> Unparalleled quality in the Highlands/Cashiers area. We could not have been more pleased with the result of the exterior renovation of our home and the addition of a new carriage house. Harris Custom Builders has many  years of experience in the construction of luxurious mountain homes and coordinates with top quality subcontractors to produce architectural gems. The personal attention given to the client by Ben Harris makes the sometimes stressful process of building a new home much more palatable.  We recommend Harris Custom Builders highly and without reservation.

**★★★★★ — HU-779428, Sept. 2016**

> Ben and his crew were professional and knowledgeable.  I had reservations building a house 2 hours from Atlanta but they made the whole process easy and stress-free.  I can't recommend Ben enough.  We love our house!

**★★★★★ — judgrady, Dec. 2014**

> Harris Custom Builders, LLC did a  new build for us in 2010-2011..... Ben and his crew did a great job. It was an "out of town" build which made it more difficult. There was excellent communication during the building process and we worked as team. We discussed over the phone the "pros and cons" of different bids from subs and Ben helped us make the best decision. Ben had good relationships with his subs. His subs took pride in their work.  My wife and I have done 3 "new home" builds and 2 "historic home" renovations and found our build to be the easiest of all of our builds.  Our home in NC was a complex build and it was done within budget and on time. Our NC home turned out better than our expectations.  Since that time we have continued to use Ben on small projects.  We have no problem highly recommending Ben.

**★★★★★ — Bill Bell, Dec. 2014**

> Harris Builders did a full renovation of both our main house and a guest house on the property.  This is a vacation home and we were not onsite to monitor progress but they exceeded our expectations and required very little oversight through the process.  I have done renovations with other builders on my primary home and found that often if I wasn't on the project every day minor mistakes would be made - it was very refreshing to have a builder of this quality who I can trust to do the job correctly.  The finished work was fantastic and absolutely transformed some fairly hopeless living space into something really special.
