ABOUT THE COMPANY
The Waterford Difference
Waterford Homes is one of Atlanta’s most successful and respected private homebuilding companies. Since 1991, we have been dedicated to building homes that are a superior blend of architectural design, quality craftsmanship, and attention to detail. We constantly challenge ourselves to build the best possible home, with the right features and materials, at a price our homeowners can afford. We back them with the industry’s premier insured warranty program, as well as our own committed customer service to make sure that each family continues to be satisfied with and excited about their new home.
David Clough, the founder and President of Waterford Homes, brings many years of home building experience to the company. He started his homebuilding career with a large national homebuilder immediately upon graduation from Princeton University, and learned the business from the ground up. David has served as both President of the Greater Atlanta Homebuilder’s Association and the Home Builders Association of Georgia.
SECOND GENERATION FAMILY BUSINESS
Drew Clough, Vice President, began his career in finance in New York after graduation from Vanderbilt University. Having spent numerous summer internships learning the construction process, he rejoined Waterford Homes in 2013 to help guide the company through the next chapter in its history. His experience in finance and business will help ensure the continued success of the family business for the next generation.
