Their level of detail stood out from the other builders we interviewed! It truly was an amazing experience with them!!! They saw our vision and EXCEEDED our expectations! Not only did we get our dream home...we made some great friends during the process! :-) **★★★★★ — P Buddemeyer, July 2020** > Sea Island did a fantastic job on our Renovation that pretty much turned into a new build. Their workmanship is impeccable and their customer service is outstanding. They go over and above to make sure things are done to your expectations. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about everyone we worked with at Sea Island Builders. We love our house! You will not be disappointed! **★★★★★ — Michael Koon, Jan. 2018** > We used Sea Island for a new home construction project completed in June 2017. It was a challenging project: a contemporary home on an exposed site on a barrier island. Sea Island did a great job throughout. From the design and cost estimation phase through the full cycle of construction to post-construction support, they excelled throughout. We could not be more pleased with how the house turned out. We interviewed a number of builders before making our decision and am very glad we did. This is that rarest of stories--a building job that turned out perfectly with the contractor becoming a good friend. **★★★★★ — jlthorsen, March 2017** > I've done many construction projects in my life and Sea Island Builders is by far the best the Charleston area has to offer. I give them my highest recommend without any hesitation. **★★★★★ — Ashley Haynes, Dec. 2016** > What a great experience and an excellent job from Sea Island Builders! They couldn't have been more helpful, and the communication was spot on! Will definitely hire them again! **★★★★★ — Rob Byko, Aug. 2016** > Professional in their approach, knowledgeable in execution; passionate about helping us to fulfill our goals for the project. Love to innovate, problem solve; seek out opportunities to incorporate customized features, create one-of-a-kind looks. Met timeline and budget challenges head-on without excuses. A great core team, with great subs & suppliers. **★★★★★ — John Stefano, Aug. 2016** > We hired Sea Island Builders (SIB) to renovate our beach house on Folly Beach, SC. It is a rental property now but we plan to retire there in a few years. Jason Fowler has done a wonderful job planning this project over the three interval prior to our retirement. The staging of the work has been spot on. We are 2 years into the project now and the workmanship has been fantastic. In the event that work needs to be re-done, SIB has been very responsive to take the corrective actions. **★★★★★ — stephen caskie, June 2016** > I have worked with the SI team on a number of successful projects. As the structural engineer of record, it is important to have experienced builders who communicate, understand, and execute the structural requirements on plans. These guys not only meet those expectations, but exceed it. I always rest comfortably knowing that the Sea Islands Builders team are constructing one of my projects. **★★★★★ — turnbull.consulting, June 2016** > I've been working with these folks for 9 months and they're as professional as it gets. Very organized and communicate extremely well. Their work speaks for itself but it's the service not shown in pictures that makes this company truly superior. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — bgordon9108, Feb. 2016** > 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. **Comment from Sea Island Builders LLC:** > You were amazing to work with and thank you for the wonderful opportunity. We are thrilled to see you enjoying your new place in the sun! **★★★★★ — Lowcountry Custom Pool and Spa, Sept. 2015** > Jeff Mathis is a great colleague of ours.
