Charleston Custom Home Builder Testimonials

“Building a new home is not for the faint of heart. The key in getting it done right--and not losing your mind--is to select the right contractor. For us, it was an easy decision. After interviewing a number of candidates, we chose Sea Island Builders. They offered state-of- the-art planning and construction management, with traditional, Lowcountry personal relationships. We were particularly impressed that people who had used them years ago still were opening their homes to us so that we could see the quality of the work they do and had been doing for years. It means a lot that someone would trust their contractor enough years later to let them roam through the house without them being there. We could not be more pleased with how the job turned out. We needed to be in the house on June 20, 2017 and Sea Island managed to get it done, even in the face of hurricanes, floods and last minute surprises by the town. We felt that we could always talk openly with Jeff and Jason--whether things were going perfectly or not--and that they would resolve any issues professionally and honestly. We've built before and understand that many home-building stories don't end happily. Ours did because we chose the right builder."

"Quality, attention to detail, and outstanding, clear and timely communications are the reasons why we chose Sea Island Builders. The process of designing our home, suggesting materials, transparency of cost estimate and scheduling were exceptional. From the beginning to the completion of our home Jeff, Jason and Sam coordinated with our architect and interior designer, and addressed our smallest concerns. Our beautiful home is the result of outstanding workmanship and professionalism."

"Why would you even consider picking another builder? These experiences can sometimes be pretty awful but this project was impeccably done and we were really happy throughout the entire process. Building from 700 miles away was so easy thanks to a wonderful team."

“I just want you to know how pleased we are with the work done by Sea Island Builders. They did a complete renovation of a 20 year old house from top to bottom. There were tricky issues involved such as fitting an elevator in a tight space and enclosing porches to make them look as they were always just part of the room. Jeff Mathis along with Rich Baker did an excellent job coordinating everything. All of the sub-contractors were real pros and in addition, they were all polite and took pride in their work. The house went through a wonderful transformation and we love the way it turned out. Thanks for a job well done.”

Jason Fowler and his entire team are awesome to work with. Their planning process is thorough, based on many years of successful projects. I have worked with them successfully on well over 20 projects, and continue to be impressed with their focus on quality, project management,  and cost control. Being the Engineer of Record on a Sea Islands project gives me the assurance that it will be done right with no corners cut.

"After interviewing a number of local builders, my wife and I chose Sea Island Builders for our project. We were very pleased with the finished product and with the overall construction process. Not only did our project manager, Jeff Mathis, have great ideas, he was highly responsive, quality oriented and thoughtful. Jeff's sub-contractors were very professional and had the same passion for quality as Jeff. We would recommend the Sea Island Builders team for any new construction or major renovation project where quality and attention to detail are paramount."
