We are ChesapeakeBuilt™

Brendan Murphy, a native Pennsylvanian, began building homes in the Baltimore - Washington DC area in 1982. That's the genesis for "Chesapeake." From his very first home, Brendan was passionate about quality and attention to detail. That hasn't changed after more than 25 years as a home builder. In 1996, Brendan moved Chesapeake to Atlanta and quickly became recognized as one of Metro Atlanta's finest quality builders. Rita Murphy became an official part of Chesapeake in early 2008. Brendan and Rita are fixated on customer service and ensuring that your purchase of a ChesapeakeBuilt™ home is a satisfying experience.

When a home is ChesapeakeBuilt, you'll find that the included features surpass the optional features offered by most builders. We use only the top brands known for quality and dependability. The distinctive courtyard design concept creates an intimate family outdoor living area in an inviting private courtyard.

We are a Certified Professional Home Builder (this is important - here's why), a member of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA), Home Builders Association of Georgia and the National Association of Home Builders. We have been recognized by the GAHBA with two prestigious Obie Awards for Design Excellence for our Courtyard Homes.
