AFG Builders began its journey in the early 1980s under the name Atlanta Framing Group. It started as a framing company working on large custom homes across the Atlanta area. Over time, the founder, Mike LaBelle, saw the need to expand beyond framing and began offering full remodeling services. By 2004, the business had evolved into a complete general contracting company, taking on a variety of residential construction and renovation projects.
What sets AFG Builders apart is its strong commitment to sustainability and green building. In the late 2000s, the company became one of the few in the region to earn EarthCraft certification. Since then, they’ve designed and built homes using eco-friendly features like solar water heating, rainwater collection systems, recycled insulation, and energy-efficient windows. These homes don’t just look beautiful—they also help homeowners save money and reduce their environmental impact.
AFG Builders remains a small, owner-managed firm where the founder is directly involved in every step of the project. Rather than operating a large crew, the company relies on trusted subcontractors who have worked with them for decades. This hands-on, personal approach has earned AFG a strong reputation for quality, honesty, and craftsmanship. Homeowners often praise the company for being reliable, attentive, and easy to trust, making AFG Builders a respected name in Georgia’s home construction and remodeling industry.
