Best of Savannah
HOMES
2015
We don’t let just anyone into our homes. When the dishwasher decides to go on strike or the
living room begs for an intervention, we turn to our friends and neighbors for referrals.
Seven years ago, Savannah magazine took that word-of-mouth tradition to town with the Best of Savannah
HOMES reader poll. Why rely on a handful of recommendations when we could ask the whole city for advice?
This year, we asked our readership of invested Savannahians for referrals in design, building and repair, and they
told us whom they call upon for help—whether they’re beautifying the bath or taking some travertine to task.
Keep this locals-only list of resources for when you need it most. You’ll find that you turn to it again and again.
And the Best of Savannah HOMES winners are…

How Did They Win?
Savannah magazine’s Best of Savannah
HOMES readers’ poll is different from other
local competitions. Here’s how:
Your votes—and your votes alone—determine a Best of Savannah HOMES winner.
We accept only one ballot per person.
Duplicate or photocopied ballots and those
without a verifiable name and address
are automatically disqualified. Our online
ballots restrict voters to one submission
per email address.
To ensure equal opportunity, you may write
in anyone or any business into a Best of
Savannah HOMES category. We do not
make suggestions.
Although we can’t control how individuals
campaign for Best of Savannah HOMES,
we believe our ballot restrictions limit the
impact of such campaigns.
As part of the area’s foremost news
organization, we strictly limit our role to
the accurate, unbiased tallying and reporting of readers’ votes. Neither advertising
considerations nor editorial opinions are
permitted to influence the results.
