About
Our story
Being the third-generation of his family in the building industry, Michael Clagett had his own home building company in early adulthood. He worked for another home builder during an economic downturn, but at the request of his client base, he and a business partner founded Firelight Homes in 2013.
They started Firelight Homes with a commitment to transparent expectations regarding finish, performance, responsibility, and financial management of the home building process. The team had a mission to do home building better: to be caretakers, not just builders.
Over the years, the Firelight Homes team has built both homes and relationships, creating friends for life out of clients. Clients in Rabun County, Lake Oconee, Lake Burton, Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, and more have chosen Firelight Homes for full transparency on the frontend and an enjoyable home building process.
“Possibilities are limitless. Every day is unique and every job is something special. We take the utmost care with our projects to ensure complete satisfaction, start-to-finish. It’s an exciting time to be building.”
