Customer testimonies:

Our two decades of success is clearly evident in our client satisfaction rating and our large number of referrals. Several of our satisfied clients were enthusiastic to share details of their experience. Here’s what they had to say:

R.L. Wagner was the only company with the hands on experience I needed to rise to the challenge of building my 12,000 square foot home on Lake Lanier. The foundation was a challenge because of the lot’s characteristics, and the interior of the home was fashioned after a 1760’s mansion, meaning there was a substantial amount of fine detail craftsmanship. R.L. Wagner’s subcontractors were outstanding – their attention to detail is definitely what sets them apart from the competition. Plus, dealing with only one Project Manager during the entire process made it easy. The house was completed to our absolute satisfaction in 2002.”

Our home in Birch River <now called Achasta> was completed by the R.L. Wagner Company in September 2001. We interviewed several builders and found Lee and his team to be the most responsive. The quality of their work was excellent, the staff was honest and fair, and the accuracy on the estimate was impressive. We highly recommend R.L. Wagner and have even opened our home to allow Lee Wagner to show some prospective clients the fine craftsmanship and design possibilities in a high end home.”

My family and I are very pleased with the colonial style custom home R.L. Wagner built for us within Harbour Pointe Yacht Club. I have known Lee Wagner for several years and have found him to be a trustworthy, quality builder and friend. I have built and renovated several homes, and I have never worked with anyone possessing Lee’s degree of integrity. Throughout the entire building process, Lee’s desire to make my family 100% satisfied with our custom home was always his number one concern. I recommend R.L. Wagner daily because of the business’ strong commitment to ethics, fairness, and flexibility during the construction process. I also appreciate their ability to be on time and on or under budget.”
