A great company and highly skilled. Every project has great Attention To Detail and The communicate all the way through the build. Highly recommend priester contracting. **★★★★★ — fontainebattistelli, May 2021** > After interviewing several custom home builders, we decided to trust the build of our new home to Priester Custom Contracting. We loved that it was a family owned business and thought it would be easier to navigate the many questions that we knew we would have, since it was our first custom home. Trust me...we had questions!! I worked more closely with Tommy Priester, through the build and design portion of the house, and my husband worked more closely with Shelley, Tommy’s wife, who handles all the aspects of the business side. We can’t say enough about their team. The challenge was there because this was “our first rodeo” but Tommy helped us with any and all questions that we had through the process. He explains each process, as it happens, and makes sure you are comfortable with everything. If you have any obstacles, he will sit down and discuss different avenues on how to approach them. His contractors are all professional and very accommodating.....We were a little sad when some of them finished because we really enjoyed watching their work. We heard so many negative stories about building a custom home....we didn’t have that feeling at all. We can’t say enough about Priester Custom Contracting. They both made it so easy and we now feel like we have gained new friends. We would highly recommend Tommy and Shelley Priester, with Priester Custom Contracting, to build your new home. **★★★★★ — Cobb Architects, Oct. 2014** > Excellent company to work with. They are committed to doing it right the first time, on time, with all the care for every detail you would have for your own home. it is always a pleasure working with Priester's and we would highly reccomend them as builders for your dream home. **★★★★★ — cpriester17, Feb. 2014** > This was a great Company to work with, fantastic services! They were on time and under budget, which is always a plus! **★★★★★ — Crosby Creations Home Designs, June 2013** > I have worked closely with Priester's for about 5 years now. I have designed several projects and have always been in "Awe" when seeing the finished product. I have always received rave reviews from clients about the quality and professionalism Priester's demonstrates during each project. I recommend Priester's to every client I have because they are a company I would use without hesitation for my own home. This is an award winning company with superior customer service! **★★★★★ — AquaBluePools, May 2011** > Superb company to work with. They do what they say they're going to do and are very detail-oriented. One of the things I like best is that their clients benefit from getting an upfront quote of exactly what they want. Once they're into the project you can rest assured that they will not skimp on materials to cut corners. It's done right the first time without adding change orders and charging you more money later on. ## Selected projects - [Hanahan Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hanahan-residence-pj-vj~5418155) - Location: Hanahan, SC - Photos: 37 - Description: 2018 Prism Award Winning Home designed by Jodi Crosby with Crosby Creations.

Very professional, enjoyable to work with, expects perfection from the subs. He is there almost everyday to make sure things are done correctly. Tommy Priester is an excellent sounding board for the client's ideas, identifying pros and cons, and coming up with ideas of how to accomplish this. And he builds a great quality house." -- StonoFerry Homeowner (10/3/2014) Photos by Holger Obenaus - [Cooper River Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cooper-river-custom-home-pj-vj~626293) - Location: Moncks Corner, SC - Photos: 11 - Description: 2014 Prism Award Finalist This inviting Lowcountry style home is located on the Tail Race Canal with gorgeous water views.
