Upson county has some great builders so I was really
surprised when the certificate for being voted Upson’s
favorite builder was dropped off at the shop. We
would like to thank everyone who voted for us. It has
my name on it, but it but it doesn’t really belong to
just me. I could not do it without the help of a great
group of guys that are trustworthy and dependable.
We are honored and humbled to receive this.
