Early Foundation in Construction
Eric’s journey in construction began at age 12, working alongside his father Jack Adams, a respected builder who had honed his skills working with Atlanta’s legendary James Cotton and Associates. Starting as general labor after school, Eric learned the importance of understanding every facet of the home building process—a principle that would become the cornerstone of his career.”Unlike many contractors today, I can actually build a house with my hands,” Eric explains. “I’ve done everything that pertains to home building, and that gives me a unique perspective on quality and craftsmanship.”

Comprehensive Hands-On Experience
During his formative years, Eric gained practical experience in every trade related to home construction. From general labor and cleanup to electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing, roofing, siding, and design, he developed skills that set him apart from many contractors today. While he trained under licensed professionals in specialized trades, his approach was always hands-on learning in real-world applications.
Professional Development and Leadership
Eric developed his expertise as a freelance contractor for five years before joining MDC Homes, a residential building company where his leadership abilities quickly became apparent. His career progression at MDC Homes was remarkable.
Managing large-scale operations, coordinating extensive crews, and project management proved essential for launching his own company.

Starting with a focus on both remodeling and new home construction, Eric built his client base through word-of-mouth referrals, strategic advertising, and the strong relationships he had developed throughout his career. His reputation for quality work and comprehensive expertise quickly established Guinness Construction as a trusted name in Atlanta’s north metro area.
