Elijah Ponder is the founder and visionary behind Custom Walls Of Georgia — a third-generation contractor with a legacy of craftsmanship and a refined eye for luxury design. Born and raised in Rochester, New York, Elijah was immersed in the custom world from a young age, learning the art of precision, quality, and integrity passed down through generations.

Now based in Atlanta, Elijah has redefined what it means to build custom. He brings more than skill — he brings vision. Every project is guided by Elijah personally, offering clients a tailored experience from concept to completion. His hands-on approach ensures that each design is not only one-of-a-kind, but also perfectly aligned with the client’s style, space, and goals.

Elijah’s commitment to excellence and elevated living has made Custom Walls Of Georgia a trusted name for clients seeking detail-driven design and truly luxurious results.

Desarae Ponder brings the heart, structure, and strategy behind the scenes at Custom Walls Of Georgia. With a background in finance and a natural talent for relationship building, Desarae has played a pivotal role in the company’s growth — evolving from working side by side with Elijah on job sites to now leading client communications and day-to-day operations.

Her experience in finance gives her a sharp eye for detail and efficiency, while her passion for people ensures every client feels seen, heard, and supported throughout their project. Desarae oversees all administrative processes and is the point of contact for scheduling, project updates, and guiding clients through a seamless luxury remodeling experience.

At the core of her work is one goal: to ensure that every client interaction feels personal, professional, and exceptional — from the very first consultation to the final walk-through.
