Raising the Bar: What It Means to Choose Ernest Homes — A Family Tradition Built on Heart
Raising the Bar: What It Means to Choose Ernest Homes
For more than 30 years, families across Coastal Georgia have trusted Ernest Homes to turn their dream of homeownership into reality. But what truly sets us apart isn’t just the homes we build — it’s the heart behind every one of them. From our first neighborhood to today’s thriving communities, we’ve built a reputation for integrity, craftsmanship, and connection.
We’re a Women-Owned Family Homebuilding Tradition
Ernest Homes isn’t a faceless corporation. We’re a family story — and a local one.
In 1986, Ernest Williams founded Ernest Homes with his wife, Beth, giving their Georgia neighbors a chance to experience the kind of family-centered life they cherished. Together, they turned a dream into a trusted name for homeowners throughout the Lowcountry.
Today, that tradition continues under the leadership of Ernest and Beth’s daughters, Jessica and Stephanie, who proudly carry forward their parents’ values of honesty, care, and craftsmanship. Their vision has helped Ernest Homes grow into one of Coastal Georgia’s most respected and beloved homebuilding companies — all while keeping a close-knit, personal touch at the heart of everything we do.
When You Work With Us, You’re Part of the Family
At Ernest Homes, we believe the process of building your new home should feel like joining a family, not navigating a transaction. From the moment you meet our team, you’ll find genuine care, transparent communication, and experienced guidance every step of the way.
Our twelve-step building process ensures that you’re always informed, supported, and welcomed at our table — from your first design meeting to the day we hand over your keys.
“We don’t just build homes — we build relationships that last long after move-in day.”
Proudly Rooted in Our Communities
We don’t just build in Savannah, Richmond Hill, and the surrounding areas — we live here too. Our neighborhoods are carefully chosen because they’re the same places where we raise our families, go to school, and spend our weekends.
That local connection gives us a unique perspective on what truly makes a community special. When you choose Ernest Homes, you’re not just buying a house — you’re joining a neighborhood built by people who care deeply about where they live.
Our Homes Are Personalizable — Just Like Your Story
Whether you dream of a cozy single-story or a spacious two-story family home, we believe every home should reflect the people who live in it. At our Design Studio, you can see, touch, and customize every detail — from flooring and fixtures to cabinets and color palettes.
Our consultants are there to guide you through the process, helping turn your personal style into a home that’s uniquely yours.
