Who We Are

At Richard Padgham Inc., we specialize in building fine custom homes, ranging from $850,000 to $7 million. As the founder of RPI, Richard Padgham brings his considerable experience and knowledge, gained from over 20-plus years in the home building business, to each and every fine custom home he builds. He and his building team approach each project with the desire to give you, the client, a custom-crafted home that is built to meet your particular specifications and that you and your family will enjoy for generations to come. See us in action!

Our highly experienced and skilled project managers ensure that each project runs smoothly and efficiently and all our subcontractors on our building team are craftsmen and artisans who bring their expertise and quality workmanship to whatever material they are working with: wood, stone, iron, glass, or shingle.

You trust your builder to understand how to create your dream house, and you will find Richard Padgham and his highly skilled team at RPI to be worthy of that trust!

"Your workmanship, detail, subs, and special 'hands-on' have always been outstanding. We are also glad to have made a new friend."

Our Creative Vision

At RPI we have the unique ability to look at a set of architectural plans and clearly envision the finished product. Before and during construction, we can translate your verbal descriptions of desired features into reality so that the finished architectural details for the interior and exterior of your home will meld into one beautiful creation. Our goal is for your home to far exceed your expectations.

We strive to find imaginative and cost-effective methods in which to build your house without sacrificing quality, and will offer well-thought-out advice to help you make the dozens of decisions that will confront you during the building of your house.

"Richard has consistently carried out the highest quality work, and has stood behind everything he has done for us."

Bruce and Ann Nixon

Our Reputation—Built On Trust

We invite you to contact any of Richard's clients, and hear what they have to say about their experience with RPI while building their home. You will find that Richard's unpretentious, laidback style puts his clients at ease, and his honesty and obvious expertise prove him worthy of their trust.

The extraordinary quality of the beautiful homes he has built with immense attention to detail is borne out by the accolades offered by his clients.

"We had a great working relationship. Building our house was a pleasure instead of a nightmare!"

Steve and Betsy Wisehart

Integrity, Honesty, and Excellence Applied to Every Project

Richard is a member of the Builder 20 Clubs, sponsored by the NAHB, and of the Hall County Home Builders Association. As a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and an active member of his community, honor and integrity are essential ingredients of both Richard's personal and business life.

Every cent spent on your house will be accounted for, including overhead and profit. There will be no hidden fees, no kickbacks, no substitution of inferior materials, no shoddy workmanship, and no shortcuts.

We build homes in a cost-effective manner with no compromising on quality construction or materials.

"Richard is very conscientious and easy to work with. We continue to use his expertise as we 'fine-tune' our home."
