About Us
RTD Contracting’s principal, Ralph Daniels, lived in Atlanta and worked in the construction industry there for over 20 years. In 2002, he moved his company to the scenic mountains of Northern Georgia, settling in Ellijay. Ralph knew that in Ellijay, he had found the perfect balance of rural mountain beauty and modern community. Ellijay is set in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, located approximately 70 miles north of Atlanta — close enough to allow quick trips between the mountains and the big city, yet far enough away to shed all the traffic, crime, and other hazards that come with living in a major metropolitan area.
Many of the homes that Ralph has built since 2002 are located in the Coosawattee River Resort. Coosawattee is a gated community situated on over 10,000 acres of scenic mountain property. The community includes the beautiful Coosawattee River, which winds its way through the mountains to Carter’s Lake, a delightful recreational lake that serves the area with all forms of aquatic fun.

Ralph’s hand-crafted homes are crafted in a rustic style, using hardwoods and stone, designed to fit in with their mountain surroundings. However, while these homes may look rustic from the outside, they include all the modern upgrades you have come to love. The homes themselves feature cozy gas log fireplaces, stained tongue-in-groove wood ceilings and large, inviting decks, both wraparound, or off the front and back of the house.
It just doesn’t get any better than this.
