No matter how many builders you look at, no matter what the price or style, the one thing that never changes is that there simply is no substitute for experience. Because some things are only learned and honed in the field, an experienced builder will be better able to put you in the home of your dreams. Thomas Chipman, president of Chipman Homes, comes from a long history of building. The sixth generation of the Chipman family to take on the craft, Tommy's dedication to building exceptional homes keeps him in the field all day, tending to and overseeing the details.

Tammy Chipman brings a perfect pairing to their business. Her ideas in design, paired with Tommy's construction expertise, have enabled Chipman Homes to create some of the most inspired and creative residences in Forsyth County. Once floor plans and engineering are in place, Tommy gets the house under roof and drywalled and then Tammy's talents can begin to shine. Unexpected creative accents and unique decor selections are her signature.

While the Chipmans love to travel, they never really "get away" from their business in that Tammy is always looking for new ideas - or buying antique doors, windows, shutters, cabinetry, etc that will have "just the right effect" in one of her next houses. Daughter of Dave Deese, well-known local appraiser, and a practicing appraiser herself for several years, Tammy is knowledgeable in what gives residential real estate lasting values. In short, she knows what works and she's always looking for new ways to present timeless and classic quality in their homes.

Winner of numerous awards in area home shows and the recipient of barrels of praise from past clients, Chipman Homes strives to leave a friend in every home build. At Chipman Homes, we are dedicated to making your homebuilding experience an uncommon delight.
