An award winning builder handcrafting your story.

We’re On Your Side

We are so glad you’re here! We’re guessing you’ve been down a long path of brainstorming and planning for your dream home for a while now.  Hours of collecting design ideas on Houzz and Pinterest, days spent touring neighborhoods, weekends visiting open houses and showhomes to see spaces that excite you, and months, if not years of financial planning.

Building a custom home is certainly one of the biggest commitments in a lifetime, and one that can seem overwhelming to most.  Maybe you’ve heard the horror stories about problems with builders, budgets spinning out of control, sites left half unfinished. We are here to ease those fears and guide you every step of the way and bring your dream home to life where you’ll spend years creating family memories.

WOW!!!! We are beyond honored to receive two NATIONAL awards at the 2024 Best in American Living™ Awards (BALA) by the National Association of Home Builders!

🍸 Alright… this just got interesting.

We’re seeing more and more homeowners prioritize home bars and dedicated entertaining spaces. Not just for hosting, but for how they actually live day to day.

And the cool part is… no two are the same.

So now we’ve got four completely different vibes:

Bar 1 is a full blown bar. No holding back on this one.
Bar 2 feels clean and subtle. Almost hidden.
Bar 3 is bright and built for hosting.
Bar 4 has that moody, speakeasy feel.

Be honest…

Which one are you picking?

Drop 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the comments.

And more importantly… which one are you inviting your friends over to this weekend?

Most homes leak… and homeowners don’t even know it.

Not just air.
Not just energy.

We’re talking about the critical connection where your framing meets the foundation… one of the most overlooked failure points in residential construction.

If this isn’t sealed properly, here’s what happens
Air infiltration that destroys efficiency
Moisture intrusion over time
And yes… bugs and pests finding their way inside

That’s the problem.

Here’s how we solve it 👇

At Longo Custom Builders, we go beyond standard practices by integrating a full system approach:

@zipsystems sheathing with ZIP tape and liquid flash
SIKA 430 Fentrim tape at critical transitions
And an added continuous protection layer at the slab and foundation connection

This isn’t just about building a house
This is about building a tight, high-performance envelope that protects your investment for decades

Our clients don’t just get a beautiful home
They get peace of mind knowing it was done right the first time

If you’re building or renovating and your builder isn’t talking about air sealing at this level… you should be asking why

Follow along as we show what goes into building at the next level

One of the most meaningful milestones in building a home happens long before the paint, cabinets, or furniture ever arrive.

It happens at framing.

This is the moment when a house truly begins to take shape. You can finally walk the rooms, feel the space, and see the vision becoming real.

But one of our favorite traditions is what we call a Framing Party.

We invite the homeowners to bring their family and close friends to the jobsite. We provide the markers, some food, and a chance to celebrate the progress together.

Then something really special happens.

Everyone writes messages, prayers, scripture, and well wishes directly on the framing of the home.

Those words will be sealed behind the drywall and live inside the home forever.

Long after the construction is finished, those blessings remain part of the foundation of the home.

To us, building a home is about more than materials and craftsmanship. It is about creating a place where memories, faith, family, and community live together.

If you are building or renovating a home, this is one tradition we believe every family should experience.

A home should begin with gratitude, blessing, and celebration.

The framing is quiet.

Then suddenly…
a team of craftsmen slides in something massive.

Not just glass.
Not just steel.
But the moment this home begins to breathe.

At Orchard Lake, we are installing a monster steel and glass window wall that will anchor the rear of this home overlooking the pool and the lake.

This is not decoration.
This is architecture creating connection.

From the family room with exposed wood beams, brick and cast stone fireplace, and white oak floors…
you will see water.
You will see sky.
You will feel nature.

And at the center of the home?
A courtyard wrapped in steel and glass.
A modern fishbowl effect where every hallway, every turn, every gathering space connects visually through unit to unit to unit — always pulling your eye back outside.

That is intentional design.

That is performance framing meeting precision installation.

That is what happens when you plan ahead and execute with craftsmen who care.

We do not just build homes.
We build experiences.

And this one is going to be epic.

Most homes don’t look like Swiss cheese by accident.

They look that way because someone said,
“Don’t worry about it. We’ll figure it out later.”

That mindset costs time.
It costs money.
And it costs quality.

At #OrchardLake, we believe in something different.

We believe preparation makes the subcontractor the hero.

When the right information is clearly laid out…
When plans are accessible and coordinated…
When layout is intentional…

Our trades can install it right the first time.

No moving wires.
No cutting open walls.
No chaos.

The result?

• Fewer callbacks
• Faster production
• Better margins for our trades
• A flawless finish for our client

For 26 years, we have believed that doing it right the first time reduces chaos, increases efficiency, and protects the client experience.

That is how you build a reputation.

This home will be available early this summer in Vinings, Georgia.
Private tours are now available by request.

If you are looking for a one of a kind lake property in Cobb County, just minutes from Buckhead without the Buckhead taxes, send me a DM and we will get you on the calendar.

Quality is job number one. Always.

Every custom kitchen starts with excitement.

But years later?

I hear the same regrets over and over again.

In this episode of Building Bricks and Barbecue, we break down the biggest kitchen mistakes homeowners wish they could redo and more importantly how to avoid them entirely.

From layout flow to appliance placement, storage planning to lighting strategy, most regrets are not about budget. They are about decisions made without proper guidance.

That is where we come in.

Our job is not just to build beautiful kitchens.
It is to guide families through the process so that five years from now they are still saying, “We would not change a thing.”

If you are planning a renovation or building a custom home in Atlanta, this episode may save you from the most expensive room in the house becoming your biggest frustration.

Listen. Learn. Build smart.

Most people think framing is just “putting up wood.”

It’s not.

Framing is where a home either becomes exceptional… or becomes expensive to fix later.

The common problem in construction?
Rushed framing. Crooked walls. No quality control. Cluttered sites. Limited access.

And homeowners are left trying to imagine their future home through chaos.

At our #WestValley project in Buckhead, we do it differently.

✔️ Laser-straight walls
✔️ Clean, organized jobsite
✔️ Safe temporary stair access for easy walkthroughs
✔️ Detailed framing that sets up every trade for success

Because framing is not just structure.
It’s the foundation of craftsmanship.

When the bones are right, everything that follows is elevated elements like trim, cabinetry, doors, finishes.

We believe homeowners deserve to walk their home during framing and feel clarity, not confusion.

That’s how you build trust.
That’s how you build community.
That’s how you build legacy.

You did not start your firm to spend all your time stuck in sales, hiring, systems, and stress.

But that is where most firm owners end up.

The Atlanta Curious Collective exists to change that.

Four in person gatherings this year for architects, interior designers, and builders who own their businesses and want better clarity, stronger systems, and a healthier way to lead.

First gathering
February 12, 2026
Sales and marketing
Hosted at Emser Tile in Norcross
