This was our first home build and it could have been quite stressful but after meeting with Nate a couple of times who went over every detail of our home and answered all of our questions, we felt very comfortable. Once the design process was finalized our project manager, Rod, took it from there and was on top of everything the entire time. He was extremely helpful and had great suggestions anytime that we asked. In the end, we have a beautiful home that we are very proud of and couldn't be any happier. **Comment from Allen Patterson Builders:** > Thank you so much. You both were great to work with. It was a pleasure to build with you. **★★★★★ — Donald Lund, Nov. 2019** > We selected Allen Patterson to build our new home after interviewing 3 builders active in our neighborhood. We were impressed with the professionalism of every staff member we met and recognized they have many trades that are employees of the company not just subcontractors. This was the sixth home we had constructed using a home builder. The construction superintendent assigned did an > excellent job of keeping us informed of the progress and was always > available when we needed him. This was critical since we were in Michigan during the construction process and only made two visits during the 10 months of construction. After completion of the project we were given a complete set of documents identifying all components including paint colors. We appreciated the quality of the work and are pleased to recommend their services to others. **★★★★★ — Diane Rolfe, July 2019** > We give Allen Patterson Residential our highest recommendation for anyone wanting industry knowledge, quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service. Our custom home was built on schedule and with great respect for our budget. The entire staff was highly responsive and showed exceptional expertise and attention to detail throughout the process. **★★★★★ — Lisa Schmidt, Dec. 2018** > The total experience working with Allen and his staff was exceptional. We were not in the area when we built. However no question was ever left unanswered. When we had questions the entire staff was there to help and give direction. **★★★★★ — Kathleen Donohue, Nov. 2018** > My first solo building project and Allen Patterson along with his very talented, patient and knowledgable staff held my hand throughout the entire process. They were my chief advocates with the countless number of vendors coming together to create a space that was all mine. While obsessing on a number of different issues, they calmed and soothed my jagged nerves, assuring me that "all/any issues would be dealt with". > My house is a beautifully solidly constructed southern retreat for my new adventure in South Carolina. > You can't go wrong in selecting Allen Patterson and his team of professionals. **★★★★★ — Susan Horne, Nov. 2018** > We have recently completed our new home in Beaufort, SC which was built by Allen Patterson Residential. Allen Patterson and his crews were very professional, courteous and built a superior product home for us. Customer service after completion has been stellar and every problem (of which were few) were addressed immediately.

When I decide to build in Beaufort I plan to offer my business to Allen Patterson without hesitation! **★★★★★ — mark miller, Oct. 2017** > allen patterson residential built my home in oldfield, which is in bluffton, sc. the house was completed in may, 2017. the building process took approximately 10 months. my wife and i found allen to be very professional, transparent, and personable. allen came highly recommended from our realtor who is a lifelong resident of beaufort. we had interacted with two different builders prior to meeting with allen. the other builders were unprofessional and had very poor follow-up. allen and his team were very knowledgeable and helpful during the building process, which was especially important because we were living in michigan during the building process. within a reasonable margin of error, allen delivered the house on time and within budget. we are very pleased with the quality of our home, and found his employees and sub-contractors to be skilled and professional. the only major issue we faced was the flooring sub-contractor who did good quality work, but has terrible customer service. we highly recommend allen patterson residential. **Comment from Allen Patterson Builders:** > Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Miller. It was our pleasure to work with you. **★★★★★ — Bill Thomason, April 2017** > We were very happy with our new home built by Allen and his team. Everyone, including subs, was very professional and knowledgable. They have a great website for mobile monitoring, scheduling and communication. The quality was outstanding and the house even withstood Hurricane Matthew with no damage. We would highly recommend Allen Patterson Residential, LLC. **Comment from Allen Patterson Builders:** > Thank you, Mr. Thomason. We enjoyed building for you and your wife. You have a beautiful home and were a pleasure to work with. **★★★★★ — suziedevoe, March 2017** > We hired Allen Patterson to build a new home in a historic district with specific regulations. > AP has a solid bidding and estimate process and professional approach to the job. Friendly, accommodating and flexible staff made the job of building a home while out of town less stressful than thought. The AP team wants you to be happy with the end product and works to make that happen. **★★★★★ — primsandproper, March 2017** > Allen Patterson Residential finished our custom home in December. We had a wonderful building experience and especially liked our foreman, Chris Deloach. The subs were very polite and respectful and responsive to our needs. I would highly recommend them for your building project. **Comment from Allen Patterson Builders:** > Thank you for your kind words. Y'all were a treat to work with and your house looks great. **★★★★★ — Richard and Cynthia Galbraith, March 2017** > We were very happy we chose Allen Paterson Residential as we found it to be a company true to their word. Our first meeting and all that followed with Allen and Nate were always very professional albeit we never felt pressured, hurried or neglected. Allen has been in the construction business for a very long time and it has brought him great knowledge and understanding of how he wants a job done. His quality of work is exemplary and his ability to meet deadlines enabled us to feel most comfortable.The few times things went awry they were remedied immediately. We enjoyed getting to know and working with Nate, Peggy , and Jullie who were extremely helpful in this endeavor, as was our foreman Carl. We feel so very blessed to have such a beautiful home, and we recommend Allen Patterson Residential hands down. Cynthia and Richard Galbraith **Comment from Allen Patterson Builders:** > Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Galbraith. We enjoyed working with you and your home is beautiful. ## Selected projects - [Distant Island](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/distant-island-pj-vj~1190643) - Location: Beaufort, SC - Photos: 66 - [Ladys Island - Sunset Drive](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ladys-island-sunset-drive-pj-vj~55398) - Location: Beaufort, SC - Photos: 25 - [Bull Point - Bull Point Drive 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bull-point-bull-point-drive-2-pj-vj~547932) - Location: Seabrook, SC - Photos: 32 - [Ladys Island - Little Capers Road](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ladys-island-little-capers-road-pj-vj~55400) - Location: Beaufort, SC - Photos: 13 - Description: This five bedroom, four and half bathroom custom home by Allen Patterson Residential is just one of many signature looks produced by the builder.

A: The shutters are painted SW 6751 Refresh. Thanks for browsing our photos. **Q: Who was your cabinetry done by?** *(in Photo Questions)* live on Hilton Head and Im looking for a cabinet company to do something similar to the pictured cabinet A: I'm sorry, I don't know where the cabinets came from. The homeowner purchased the cabinets from a friend. **Q: wall color in most of house** *(in Photo Questions)* What’s the wall color? A: I'm sorry, we don't have access to the interior colors for this home. **Q: What is the exterior white paint color?** *(in Photo Questions)* Looks beautiful! A: Thanks for looking at our photos! The siding on this house is painted with Benjamin Moore Simply White number OC-117. **Q: what kind of doors are these? Can you let me know.** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The doors are made by Andersen. Thanks for looking at our photos. **Q: LIGHT WALL COLOR** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you let me know the wall color next to the green wall and trim color ? I have a piece of furniture that is the same color as the green walls with pottery barn white bed and night stands. I have not been able to find the right color for the walls in the room . Thinking the light color might work. Love this room !! A: All of the walls in this room are painted Sherwin Williams Melange Green (SW6710). All of the trim in this room is painted Sherwin Williams Classic Light Buff (SW0050). The wall that I believe you are referring to (with the pink pillows against it), are painted in semi-gloss of the trim color, Classic Light Buff. If it appears green, it's just a reflection of the green wall. I hope that helps. Thanks for looking at our photos. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-20.*
