The Loudermilk Difference
One of the standout features of Loudermilk Homes is their meticulous approach to client involvement. Before the construction even commences, clients are actively engaged in selecting every detail — from tiles and cabinets to trim, paint, light fixtures, and even tubs. This process not only ensures that the client's vision is accurately translated into the final product, but also serves as a strategic move to mitigate the impact of inflation and ensure products will be delivered to the job site by the time they are needed.
For clients who aren’t sure where to begin, Loudermilk Homes offers a Design Questionnaire that guides clients through their unique design preferences. There’s also a Design Center with floor plans and photo galleries for inspiration.
In-House Architecture Team: Speeding Up the Design Process
Loudermilk Homes distinguishes itself further by having an in-house architecture team, a rare combination for a custom home builder in Atlanta that distinguishes the company from other builders.
Unlike traditional architectural firms, where changes can take weeks to implement, Loudermilk Homes can typically make adjustments within a day or two. This agility not only expedites the design process but also enhances the client experience, ensuring that the client’s evolving design preferences can be seamlessly incorporated into the project.
Loudermilk Designs: Elevating Interior Aesthetics
The company's commitment to excellence extends beyond the architectural phase. Loudermilk Homes boasts a sister company, Loudermilk Designs, led by Sherwin’s wife, Roane Loudermilk. This team of professional interior designers collaborates closely with each client, unveiling their unique design and aesthetic preferences.
Whether it's a traditional, modern, European modern, farmhouse, or any other style, Loudermilk Designs tailors the interiors to reflect the client's personality, making them one of the best Atlanta home builders.
Moreover, Loudermilk Designs provides bespoke interior design services, assisting clients in selecting artwork, linens, vases, pillows, and other elements that elevate the home's overall ambiance to showcase the homeowner’s unique and personal design aesthetic.
Sherwin Loudermilk's Recognition
The commitment to excellence exhibited by Loudermilk Homes has not gone unnoticed. Sherwin Loudermilk, the founder and driving force behind the company, recently achieved a major milestone by being named a finalist for Custom Home Builder of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders.
This prestigious award recognizes Loudermilk Homes as one of the most elite builders in the country, acknowledging their dedication to delivering unparalleled craftsmanship and innovation.
Blue Heron Walk: A Glimpse into the Future
In a testament to their visionary approach, Loudermilk Homes recently announced the development of a new neighborhood in Atlanta called Blue Heron Walk. Located next to a 30-acre nature preserve in the heart of the Buckhead area of town, this project exemplifies Loudermilk Homes' commitment to creating not just homes but entire communities that harmonize with their natural surroundings.
Blue Heron Walk promises to be a haven for those seeking not only luxury but also a connection to nature within the bustling city of Atlanta. With natural flora and fauna, Blue Heron Walk is just minutes from Chastain Park and a short walk from Sarah Smith Elementary.
