"If I had to describe with one word Jerry Severa's workmanship on building our house I would have to pick PRIDE. Pride in workmanship to me is what you do when nobody's looking or "may not notice". When the quality of what's behind the wall is as important as what is on the wall. It is when you make choices with the understanding that at the end of the day, self respect and your reputation are what you walk away from the "job" with. That is Jerry. I'm sure others have described their builders as one who builds the house as if it was his own, but I want to emphasize this by adding that Jerry also builds as if it were his measurement of success to his family. His heart is in it all the way. His attention to detail and his unwillingness to compromise on the quality of construction are what led us to CreekStone Custom Homes after we toured another home he built. The difference from other homes we had looked at was easily noticeable. From the time we first met him, before we even signed an agreement, until today (and assumedly for the future), Jerry displayed tremendous integrity. He worked closely with us every step along the way in helping us make the best decisions that suited our style and taste. He did this with open communication and a genuine concern to deliver a house that we would not only be happy with but one that would exceed our expectations. That we would be proud to call home. And that he did. I wholeheartedly recommend Jerry and Creekstone Custom Homes."

"As you know I met with 3 different contractors to communicate my vision for our basement. I have no experience in construction so I had to explain my vision in very conceptual terms with no real technical guidance. After having these series of meetings Karin and I decided that you were the right man for the job. Your industry knowledge, passion for your work and detailed proposal was the reason we believed we made the right decision with Creekstone Custom Homes. Throughout the process you were great to work with and delivered everything and then some from what you outlined in your proposal. Jerry, I really appreciate your working with us and your constant communication throughout the process made us feel very comfortable that you had everything under control. The final result is great and you took my layman verbalization of my concept and delivered exactly what we had envisioned. Thanks for being a man of integrity, a job well done!"

Robert & Karin Cizek, The Manor, Alpharetta, GA

"My husband and I purchased our first new home from CreekStone Custom Homes and are thrilled with their superior customer service and construction. In today's market, we've heard so many heart breaking stories of builders who disappear and who don't follow through with their promises which made us very skeptical of purchasing a new home. Jerry Severa, Owner/Contractor, for CreekStone Custom Homes is truly the exception to the rule, he is the epitome of home builders! He is a true man of integrity who really cares about the Home Owner even after the initial purchase! I never had to make repeated calls begging him to follow up on any of our concerns even after our warranty expired! Instead, he resolved any question or issue immediately and kept us informed each step of the way. We have several friends who have experienced serious construction issues including lack of support from their builders and we are very thankful that CreekStone Custom Homes built our home! Simply, CreekStone Custom Homes really cares about the home owner and the quality of their construction! I never hesitate to refer them to a personal friend or acquaintance because I am confident they will be as thrilled, as we are with their exceptional service and construction."

"We were extremely pleased with the job CreekStone Custom Homes and Jerry did on the organization and structure of all the different factors involved with remodeling our home. From the earliest days when Jerry helped us develop a plan that fit our needs and our budget - to the final days and details of remodeling our home, everything was first rate!  "Jerry's ability to clearly communicate with us as his clients is a great asset to have; one that we know other builders and developers do not possess. We are also thankful that Jerry kept us updated daily and that if we had questions he was prompt in finding the answers and getting back to us quickly. His honesty and clarity made for a smooth progression of events in getting our home remodeled and finished. CreekStone Custom Homes made the process go smoothly. There are not enough words to go on paper to explain how comfortable we felt working with Jerry. CreekStone Custom Homes can be proud of their construction and of their honest manner in dealing with clients. They certainly have built a reputation that is well deserved. Our home turned out beautiful. We will always know who to call when we want excellent results."

"When we first moved to Georgia we were unfamiliar with the local builders and unsure of who to trust. We found the neighborhood we wanted to be in and luckily the house we fell in love with was built by Jerry Severa. After talking with Jerry, we knew right away he was an honest person who takes pride in his work. He cares about his customers and keeps their best interest in mind. If anyone is looking for a reputable builder who cares about quality and details, we would highly recommend CreekStone Custom Homes!"

"It is without reservation that I recommend CreekStone Custom Homes. I have known Jerry Severa over seven years. He built the home which I reside in today. He did such a great job I hired him a few years later to finish our basement. Jerry is honest, hardworking, dependable and completely trustworthy. Jerry quickly responds to any questions or concerns and I have always found his work to be consistent and detail oriented. The next time we build a home or do any renovations, CreekStone Custom Homes will be doing the job."

"I can not say enough positive things about Jerry Severa's workmanship as a home builder or basement re-modeler! I have had the pleasure of knowing Jerry for over 8 years. He has worked on several projects for me over the years and his workmanship and business ethics is above all the rest. His attention to detail, quality of trades, communication with the customers, honesty and integrity sets him apart from any other builder or contractor around. As a result, the homes he builds or basements he remodels are absolutely beautiful! Anyone can rest assured that Jerry stands by his product and the satisfaction of his customers are his number one priority. His is simply the best!”

Rose M. Winiarczyk, Alpharetta, GA

"In 1998, I had my home built by Jerry Severa. He was always there to answer any questions I had and made sure things were going smoothly, I was very happy with the way the house turned out. In 2003, I called Jerry back to do some work on my house. I wanted him to enclose a porch and make it into a office and add on a sunroom. He had some great ideas for me. Jerry's attention to detail is unbelievable! He does work as if he is doing the work for his own home. I could not have been happier with the outcome of both rooms. There is not one person that comes into my house that doesn't say what a great job was done on the office and the sunroom and how beautiful it is. I would recommend Jerry to anyone that needs work done in their house or wants to build a custom home. Jerry is a rare find in his line of business."

Gale Vuocolo, Alpharetta, GA

Bryant and Kim Isaacs, Alpharetta, GA

"I had the opportunity of getting to know Jerry Severa during the construction of my home. From the very beginning, Jerry's quiet confidence and determination in getting the job done for us, instilled confidence that we were in capable hands. He has a terrific eye for detail. His honest and direct approach, plain and candid response gave us total peace of mind. We were confident that whatever the issue may be, he would resolve it correctly and in the time frame he said. With Jerry, I never felt the need to have anything written down, I never felt the need to "protect" myself. In the end it is simple...Jery does exactly what he says, every time. He tells you straight, every time. He tells you the options and why he recommends a specific course of action. He tells you what you should and should not do. He says what he will and will not do and why, every time. When I need a job done, I call Jerry and I never think twice about it, every time."

Gary and Lynette Brandt, Alpharetta, GA

"We could not possibly be more pleased with our experience with Jerry Severa and Creekstone Custom Homes.  We recommend him and his organization without reservation, and we hope to build with him again in the future.  Jerry and his team operate with the highest degree of integrity, and the level of craftsmanship is second to none.  Our experience with Jerry is testimony to the fact that he builds as if he is building a home for his own family -- there are no shortcuts in integrity, quality, or communication -- all of which are vital to the building process.  And the commitment doesn't stop there: after being in our home for several months and encountering a few follow-up needs, Jerry has always been immediate in his response and resolution -- including items reaching beyond the scope of the physical structure.  We have recommended Creekstone Custom Homes to friends and neighbors, all whom have had an equally positive experience.  In a day and time when many have compromised in their level of character and commitment, Jerry Severa and Creekstone Custom Homes have held firm to their core value of "quality craftsmanship in every detail", and it doesn't stop with just the bricks and mortar."

Stuart & Chaz Easterly, Legacy Village, Roswell, Georgia

Working with contractors can be quite a daunting task. In the past, we’ve been left hanging with sub-par work, the contractor disappears and never returns our phone calls again. Working with Creekstone Custom Homes has been completely different than any experience we’ve had with a contractor. We feel that with Jerry, we have finally found a contractor that we can trust. Jerry is honest, reliable and more importantly, he stands by his work. Jerry listens to every detail. The quality of work is top-notch. Not to mention, we were very impressed by his team. All of his subs were highly experienced, reliable and very trustworthy. And in the event something went wrong, Jerry was there to fix the problem. I would recommend Jerry for any job, large or small … as Jerry is the only person we will ever hire for future jobs on our home.

April & Gary Lickovitch

""We were looking for a reliable,honest, and quality-minded contractor to do work on our home in a subdivision where people take pride in their homes. A neighbor recommended Creekstone Custom Homes and Jerry Severa. We were not disappointed. He has done extensive work on our home over the years and we would have no one else. His work has been top quality and we are very particular. His personal attention to detail and his frequent visit to the job site is why he gets all of our business. If he does not think it meets his high standards, he has it redone. You cannot go wrong putting your confidence in him and his crew."

Nick & Joanne Fici, Alpharetta, GA
