“In the summer of 2006 we build a home with Ernie Blackburn Home Builders and we have been happy with that decision ever since. Ernie builds a solid home and always follows through with his word. We have since left the area and we will always have a special place in our heart for our home in Georgia.”
-Charlie and Stephanie Hammes
“The thing that impressed us most was how quickly and smoothly things progressed-there was ALWAYS someone working on the house. Ernie’s subcontractors were all very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful, and Karen was always there to help with decorating ideas and to keep us up-to-date on the schedule.”
-Matt and Rande Maynard
“When we came to Ernie Blackburn and told him we wanted to duplicate the open floor plan of the house we had in Florida. He accepted the challenge of building some things different from his normal houses. When Ernie and the Architectural Review Board finished the house we had our “no steps” home with an attic that can be used for storage or expanded to include several more rooms. We love our new “digs”!”
-Charlotte and Jules Joslow

Thanks for making the homebuilding process so much fun!”
