Client Testimonial
We are equally pleased with the quality of the materials and workmanship used on the interior of the house where attention to detail made this a true custom home. Mr. Clark’s work crews were great to work with; they were skilled at their jobs and always went out of their way to be sure we were happy with their work. They were, and remain, responsive to any concerns that come up and continue to help us as the inevitable issues inherent in home ownership arise.

Having lived in a home that he built in 1985 and having had the opportunity for him to build a new home for us, I want to say that as a builder and a friend, he is the best. His attention to detail and his follow-through and follow-up have been top notch. To this day, I still am able to call him anytime with any question or concern and get an immediate response. Thanks to Phil and his crew, we and our decorator feel that all of them went over the top to building something everyone could be proud of.

Phil has a strong appreciation for site and landscape design as it relates to fine residential architecture. Phil makes the process enjoyable for me because working with him is both fun and easy. We tailor our landscape architecture to reflect the architecture of the home and the homeowner’s program elements. What we design is only part of the piece. How it is executed in the field is critical. Phil does a good job with his subcontractors in doing just that.

Over a thirty-year career I’ve worked with many builders and Phil Clark is the best, most devoted I’ve known…I [am] completely thrilled by Phil’s commitment, without compromise, to excellence…Phillip is one of those all too rare people who is motivated by the quality of the work itself, rather than by the possibility of quick personal gain. He takes a long-term view and his reward is in being able to point with pride at tangible contributions to our built environment – and to our common good. Phil is 100% honest. He listens to neighbors and genuinely addresses their concerns.

Phil was wholly engaged and willing to work with me, fellow committee members, the Druid Hills Civic Association and the community to reach an outcome that I believe the vast majority of the neighborhood would agree is within keeping with both the law and the spirit of the Historic Preservation Ordinance…I can personally attest to Phil’s intention to always do the highest quality work, using only the best materials that are in keeping with the ordinance and the supporting guidelines. During my time with him, he always did what he said he was going to do.

I can state without hesitation that Phil is committed to the highest level of quality workmanship and integrity of design and to dealing fairly and honestly with his clients and professional associates. I would recommend his work to anyone seeking the very best home construction…When I drive down Oakdale now, I can see how seamlessly the new homes blend in with the historic homes, really completing that long block in a manner consistent with the overall feel of the street.

I cannot begin to adequately express the sincere admiration that I have for Phillip Clark, both as a builder and as a person. His reputation as an artisan home-builder is unsurpassed and much deserved. He is a true craftsman who takes tremendous pride in providing only the highest level of quality and beauty in every home that he constructs.

Client Testimonial
Phillip Clark constructed my home in Atlanta, Georgia. Phil demonstrated a high degree of integrity in his dealings with me. Phillip was quick to respond to questions or issues I raised. He remained focused on meeting and exceeding my expectations while maintaining the quality and attention to detail in the construction and handled warranty and post-warranty matters quickly.
I would not hesitate to recommend Phil as a builder and would use him again if I were to return to Atlanta.
