FL committed to getting our house done before year-end and when our circumstances changed and we needed to move a few weeks sooner, they quickly accommodated our schedule and finished a month ahead of time. We’ve been in almost two months now and we certainly haven’t seen any lapses in quality for finishing quickly. > > FL was very ready to make adjustments we asked for in our home including reconfiguring much of the second floor, closing in a portion of the screened in porch to make an office, adding shelving in the garage and adding a closet and pantry space. > > The work is first rate and they are quick to make adjustments on the fly or fixes for minor issues as needed. Craig and his team are incredibly responsive and have offered advice and guidance with finding additional services in town (e.g., landscapers, plumbers, etc). > > I would also be remiss if I didn’t compliment the excellent design and sales teams. Katie and Julie were incredible to work with and offered wonderful guidance and support. > > In short, FL delivered on everything they promised and more. I highly recommend them to any prospective buyer. **★★★★★ — Lawson, April 2024** > Living out of state and having a home built for the first time naturally came with some concerns. However, after the initial communication with Front Light and through out the entire process the entire team helped diminish those concerns. The weekly updates, photos and communication with the building supervisor was so helpful. The quality, design and craftmanship is remarkable. I plan on this being my forever home, but if I were to build another home I would definitely choose Front Light. We love our new home! Thank you to everyone at Front Light Building Company. **Comment from Front Light Building Co.:** > Thank you so much for your 5-star review!

FLBC worked with us each step of the way. We desired an ADA accessible home for our son, with wider doors, a roll-in shower, an open flow within the home to maneuver a wheelchair, to have an exterior ramp, and build the porches with appropriate sightlines to be able to enjoy the views from wheelchair height. FLBC did it all! The craftsmanship is top-notch with each room of the house designed to meet what our vision was. The FLBC motto is Lowcountry Living at its Best. It certainly is with the home they built for us! **Comment from Front Light Building Co.:** > Thank you for taking the time to review of our work at Front Light Building Company!

The entire process was great. The owners and people who work there care deeply about their clients and strive to build a home of the highest quality. The design process works incredibly well. They have a design center in which we were able to pick out all of our finishes in one day! The guidance was great and done with patience. They have stood behind all of the work, and have gone above and beyond what was expected. I am confident that if we ever have a problem, they will take care of it. We would not hesitate to have Frontlight build us another custom home. I truly believe that it would be a mistake for anyone to not at least speak to Frontlight about building their home and compare! This building company makes the whole process as easy and enjoyable as possible. **Comment from Front Light Building Co.:** > Thank you for the 5-star review!

Walls are grey now but we are possibly changing to a beige later. Don’t want to wait because if I like “new” fireplace color may not repaint walls. White or very dark brown? The very dark brown paint swatches are taped to the mantle. A: With the stone fireplace surround and your darker colored furniture, I would paint it white to make it stand out and bring some lighter shades into the room. **Q: Bathroom tub and shower tile/rock** *(in Polls)* We have a new large ensuite bathroom with a spacious walk in shower. i need to choose the shower tile/rock. Our bathroom floors are white with grey detail marble tile. Bathroom vanities will be white. The bathtub surround will also beed to be tiled. Question - what do we tile around the bath? The deck AND sides which meet with the floor? Pictures below. A: I would start by asking what style is your home? I like the cool clean colors so far, but it's difficult to know which direction to lead you without seeing your style. **Q: Help me decide on a shutter color!** *(in Design Dilemma)* We have built new shutters for all the windows including some simple window boxes. We are totally stuck on a color. New siding will come later down the road and the roof is a red metal. Thanks! A: I agree a darker color for the shutters would go lovely with the red roof and white siding. I like the look of a black, navy or even charcoal gray against the white siding with the metal roof. **Q: POLL: Does your laundry room pull double duty?** *(in Polls)* Is your laundry room used strictly for laundry, or do you maximize the space to meet other needs (mudroom, office, pet station, etc.)? Vote and tell us about it in the comments! A: Here is the Paris Island mentioned above. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-25.*
