Having Archer Custom Builders as our contractor has been an absolute delight! We worked with them on the renovation of a 100-year old, 5,000 square foot house, and they treated our house as if it was their own. They constantly came up with options we never would have thought of because of our lack of experience.

Tom proved to be an excellent choice to build a very complex custom home. He and his crew executed perfectly and have provided follow-up as needed over the last three years since completion. We would recommend him to anyone contemplating construction or renovation.

There it was, a big old building on South Main, perfect for what we were looking for to house the Memphis Music Resource Center. but, what a mess, what do we do? 'No problem, ' said the owner, 'we'll take care of everything.' And they did. It is now two years later, and we have a fantastic space in a historic building and are the envy of everyone that comes to visit us.

On the advice of our architect, I engaged Archer Custom Builders to do fairly extensive work at our house. In addition to the exterior, Archer did a massive kitchen rehab with a number of custom-designed features. Tom and the whole team have an attitude that is extremely refreshing.
