Joe Dixon | Build

Joe Dixon started his construction business in 1984, in his original home town of Lynnfield just north of Boston, Massachusetts. He joined Michael at Modern Rustic Homes as General Contractor in 1996; together the pair has built over 300 custom homes. Joe builds conventional, hybrid, log, and timber frame homes. His commitment to quality of construction, attention to details, and project management are reflected in the completed custom homes. When he’s not on a job site, Joe is usually busy enjoying family life with his wife and their three children.

Jeri Presta | Client Services Manager

Jeri brings a can-do attitude with cordial service to Modern Rustic Homes clients. Her years in the Financial Services industry prepared her to handle the many tasks involved in keeping client requests and information organized and available as the build project progresses. After many years in Florida she chose to make North Georgia her home and relates wonderfully to our clients that also wish to enjoy the relaxed mountain lifestyle.

Give Jeri a call. She’s the friend you haven’t met yet.
