We have built 4 previous homes and have never had the confidence or great experience as we did on our current home with Babb Custom Homes. Charlie and his team are not only focused on doing everything right, on budhget and on time, they go one step further to ensure it meets all your expectations. More impressive is the instantaneous response to any issues (during the build or after move in, as minor as they were) that we identified - they normally responded the same day! Charlie and his entire team take pride in what they do and it shows both in the deliverable and the customer interaction - just an absolute professional, engaging and enjoyable team that works to ensure complete customer satisfaction. ### All 21 reviews **★★★★★ — Lynnie Russo, Dec. 2018** > Of all the contractors we have used over the years, both for building new homes and for remodeling existing homes, Babb is simply the best we've ever used. These folks do beautiful, quality work. Charlie is conscientious, extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of construction, and has the best subcontractors working for him that we've ever seen. Clean, neat workers, too. You truly get what you pay for! We would highly recommend Babb Custom Homes to anyone who has a new-build or remodeling project in our area. We've used them twice on two major projects, and have been extremely satisfied with them on both. **★★★★★ — Tim Hewett, Dec. 2018** > Babb Customer Homes made what is usually a very stressful experience and turned it into one that was quite pleasant. The friendliness and professionalism exceeded my expectations from the start. Everone is knowledgeable , courteous, and very approachable. Whether it is from the office or field staff, they were all so very helpful. > Charlie, the owner, is one of the nicest guys you'll meet. I would not hesitate to recommend them to family, friends, or a complete stranger. **★★★★★ — User, July 2018** > The thought of building a custom home is daunting to say the least, but to do from 700+ miles away is even more difficult. Babb Custom Homes made this adventure not only less stressful, but actually a pleasant journey. From the first day we met Charlie Babb and his family to current day, we knew we made the right choice. > We never felt alone and we're always in constant communication from the first day. We were taken through the process step by step and the result was everything and more than we could have imagined. The quality of workmanship is top notch. We are very happy with our decision to choose Babb Customs Homes to build our dream home and I know anyone that decides to choose them will feel the same way too. > > We thank the Babb family for our beautiful home! > The Dunbars **★★★★★ — Kathy Gentry, May 2018** > We had been in the construction field of work owning our own business back in Greensboro, NC until we retired and moved to North Myrtle Beach back in 2003. We purchased and existing home at first then decided to purchase land and build the home we wanted. We purchased a waterway lot and got 3 different bids. Mr. Babbs quote was in the middle of the other 2 but after speaking with other homeowners and seeing his work we new from past experience that he did not cut corners. We would recommend Babbs to anyone considering building a home in this area. The best recommendation we could give him is if we were to build another home in this area we would not even get another bid we would go to Babbs only. **Comment from Babb Custom Homes:** > It was a pleasure working for y'all!

When we did meet with Charlie we understood why and immediately recognized that he was the builder for us. From our first conversation, he had the foresight to determine what we wanted in a house and provided all the information/contacts we needed to get there.

We would be glad to show-off our custom-built home to any prospective customers that Charlie would ask us to do. **★★★★★ — bornkes, Sept. 2015** > When we were looking for a builder in 2010, we were referred to Charlie Babb, Babb Custom Homes. We met with Charlie, discussed what we wanted and needed. We thought we had a plan to work from, but found out there was only a picture of the home. Charlie had us look online at several plans and we finally agreed on a plan. When we had the blueprints, he sat down with us and discussed all. We made several changes and then started. Having some problems with the size and lot size, he had as assistant sit with us and again made some modifications. He worked diligently with both the developer and local officials to get us the house we wanted. He also referred us to various suppliers to get the best price for the materials we wanted. He was there at least once a day throughout the construction of the home and met with us as we requested. One day I requested an 8am meeting and got there at 7:45 to review my questions. He was already there with his pad and pencil making notes. His office staff were also great and very responsive to our needs. The house was completed on time and within budget. This is our 3rd house that we have had built. The prior 2 we had significant punch lists, with Charlie I had 2 minor items on it. Even after we moved in, when we had questions or needed something, he was there. I see Charlie and his crew frequently and he always asks how the house is and if we needed anything. We got a great house at a very reasonable price, far better than the other builders I evaluated could have done. **★★★★★ — junerussell, Sept. 2015** > Building a home with Babb Custom Homes was a joy! We were completely satisfied with the entire process and have enjoyed our home for nearly three years without a single issue! Entire staff and contractors were very professional. **★★★★★ — Richard Osman, Sept. 2015** > Charlie and his crew are great builders. Professional, accurate, disciplined, hard working and responsive. They built a very solid solid home for me, built to fortified standards. The construction quality is excellent. The timeline was as promised and the follow-up has been great. My home also has a full basement, built with prefabbed insulated, waterproofed wall sections that not only added sq. ft but also had improved my heating and cooling efficiency lowering my monthly electrical costs. I would and have strongly recommended his work to my friends and will do so to you too. You won't be disappointed. **★★★★★ — dmoldy, Sept. 2015** > Babb Custom Homes is a family orientated business that made our home building experience an enjoyable experience. They are very personable and helpful. They helped us find an architect who designed our dream home. We toured many of the homes that they built, so we could see the quality of their workmanship first hand. This was our third home that we have built and Babb Custom Homes was the best general contractor we have ever dealt with. Everyone that sees our home is so impressed with the details and quality of workmanship. I highly recommend Babb Custom Homes! **★★★★★ — Felisha Sealey, Sept. 2015** > Excellent custom home builder. Built our dream home and went over and beyond to please. Made the building experience so wonderful. Could not ask for anything more. The details and suggestions were perfect. Best custom builder in the Myrtle Beach area. **★★★★★ — zarbek2, Sept. 2015** > Babb Custom Homes is building a wonderful house for us on the beach. I am an engineer and understand construction. I have built two homes and done major remodeling to two others. This will be the finest constructed house I will ever own. I guess the most amazing thing to me though is that the Babbs do what they say they will do and on time. This is a first for me. They and their team have made this process so easy and it was been our pleasure to work with them. ## Selected projects - [Waterside Drive Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterside-drive-custom-home-pj-vj~1844467) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 42 - [Sunset Harbor Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunset-harbor-custom-home-pj-vj~1331174) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 6 - [Farmstead Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmstead-custom-home-pj-vj~1331088) - Location: Calabash, NC - Photos: 12 - [Thistle Golf Estates - Cottage Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thistle-golf-estates-cottage-custom-home-pj-vj~1331064) - Location: Sunset Beach, NC - Photos: 14 - [Tidewater Plantation Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tidewater-plantation-custom-home-pj-vj~1331169) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 14 - [Tidewater Plantation Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tidewater-plantation-custom-home-pj-vj~1331197) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 8 - [Thistle Golf Estates Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thistle-golf-estates-custom-home-pj-vj~1331056) - Location: Sunset Beach, NC - Photos: 14 - [Pelican Bay Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pelican-bay-custom-home-pj-vj~1330984) - Location: Longs, SC - Photos: 7 - [Thistle Golf Estates Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thistle-golf-estates-custom-home-pj-vj~1331193) - Location: Sunset Beach, NC - Photos: 17 - [Seaside Plantation Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seaside-plantation-custom-home-pj-vj~1331189) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 5 - [Tidewater Plantation Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tidewater-plantation-custom-home-pj-vj~1331180) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 7 - [Sunset Harbor Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sunset-harbor-custom-home-pj-vj~1331167) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 7 - [Briarcliffe Acres Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/briarcliffe-acres-custom-home-pj-vj~1331150) - Location: Briarcliffe Acres, SC - Photos: 9 - [Thistle Golf Estates Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thistle-golf-estates-custom-home-pj-vj~1331036) - Location: Sunset Beach, NC - Photos: 13 - [Barefoot Resort Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barefoot-resort-custom-home-pj-vj~1331133) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 10 - [Crow Creek Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/crow-creek-custom-home-pj-vj~1331100) - Location: Calabash, NC - Photos: 9 - [Thistle Golf Estates Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/thistle-golf-estates-custom-home-pj-vj~1331082) - Location: Sunset Beach, NC - Photos: 11 - [Seaside Plantation Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seaside-plantation-custom-home-pj-vj~1331018) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 9 - [Marina Bay Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/marina-bay-custom-home-pj-vj~1331001) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 13 - [Heritage Shores Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heritage-shores-custom-home-pj-vj~1330969) - Location: North Myrtle Beach, SC - Photos: 7 [See all 25 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/babb-custom-homes-pfvwus-pf~1225634115) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/840720065.m3u8?s=8cd9d82008d9b04a9d40c7a82d1e68e86aea01f0&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you handle permitting and inspections for new home construction?** Yes, absolutely.
