Coastal Signature Homes

We had the pleasure of working with Steve Tilton and Coastal Signature Homes (CSH) to build our custom home in South Carolina, and we couldn’t be more happy with the result. The craftsmanship is remarkable. From the wood ceilings and elegant judges paneling to a custom built-in Murphy bed, intricate trim, and built-in bookshelves, every detail reflects their dedication to quality and artistry inside and out. These features have made our home the warm, timeless, and uniquely beautiful space we envisioned. Our home was built as part of our plan for retirement, but since we aren’t retired yet, we had to manage the build from afar, visiting only once a month as the house progressed. Building a home from a distance requires an incredible level of trust in the builder. Steve and his team at CHS earned that trust every step of the way. They kept us informed, provided clear and honest communication, and handled the project with integrity. Our trust in them was not misplaced, and the final product speaks volumes about their professionalism and commitment. Furthermore, Steve was instrumental in helping us locate the perfect lot for our home. While not a realtor, his insight and guidance—together with our realtor—helped us secure a wonderful location, and we couldn’t be happier. Building a home can be a wild ride; however, the entire staff at CHS was incredibly responsive, kind, and supportive throughout the process. In addition to Steve, we worked with Cate, Nick, Salem, Bryan and Holly. They were always available to answer our questions and address any concerns, making the experience professional, enjoyable and relatively stress-free. Everyone was wonderful to work with. Even after the project was completed, CHS remained vigilant about addressing the punch list. They worked through every item line by line, ensuring all final details were handled with care and precision. One of the most memorable and thoughtful touches came this holiday season when we received a hand-painted ornament featuring a snowy image of our home. This kind gesture shows the level of pride and care they take in their work and relationships with clients. If you’re looking for a builder who combines exceptional craftsmanship with integrity, professionalism, and a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Coastal Signature Homes. They turned our vision into a dream home, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We trusted Coastal Signature Homes with our largest investment to date, in the construction of our dream home. We hit the jackpot selecting them! The communication is remarkable - with weekly progress reports provided. The response time from each and every team member - impressive and coupled with follow up ensuring satisfaction. The team is customer focused and professional. Their signature of a well crafted home is worth every dollar leaving us with such an immense sense of pride in what we created with them. If you are looking for a true partner with attention to detail, Coastal Signature Homes is where you should start as the finished product is beyond our high expectations.

We are so pleased with the design and construction process, even through the pandemic era. Steve and his crew listen and responded to our needs. Their attention to detail is second to none. Our home is very special and we are proud to have CSH as our builders and friends. We strongly recommend that they be considered in your future home construction needs.

Steve and his team are absolutely phenomenal. We have built 6 homes in our lifetime. This is by far the nicest and most well built home we have ever owned. Coastal’s customer service before, during and after are second to none. We would highly recommend to build with them. Thank you again for the awesome home!!! The Dobbert’s

Building a house is both an exhilarating and intimidating experience, especially for first timers like us. But from the very beginning Steve Tilton and his staff at CSH helped ease our fears by addressing all our concerns and taking the time to thoroughly answer all our questions. During the build process, there were challenging times, as was to be expected, but CSH was always willing to address any problem that arose and worked tirelessly to make sure we were happy and satisfied. What initially drew us to CSH was the quality and craftsmanship of their homes. After visiting many other builder’s model homes, we realized that Steve Tilton’s attention to detail and quality design materials set CSH apart from their competitors. You could immediately see and feel the difference when you walked into a CSH home. And since we had to rent a house while building, it was vital that that our home be completed on time. And CSH delivered our beautiful new home on the day they had promised. And even though we have been in our house for over a year now, Steve and his team still promptly respond to any questions or warranty work needed, which is the kind of after-the-sale customer service we were hoping would occur. As stated earlier, building a new home is an enormous undertaking but we were grateful to have a builder who personally participated in the entire process from start to finish. We would gladly have them build again for us.

There are so many things that impress me about our house everyday we live in it. From the amazing design and functional layout to the quality workmanship. Things like a full walk in attic - no half height doors or crawl space, we couldn't live without it. The porch decking that is tabby and brick that never needs painting. The 12 foot high ceilings, classic low country fireplace, inlaid pencil moldings, the mix of raw wood and satin finish trim. The list is endless and it's all CSH doing thing right and having the right formula.

We have owned a building site in the "lowcountry" of South Carolina in a gated community for a number of years with plans of building our retirement home. We spent approximately a year interviewing a number of highly recommended custom builders. During this time we toured their homes; some under various stages of construction as well as some completed. We also spoke with a number of their former clients to determine the degree of satisfaction. Although each builder we met specialized in custom homes and enjoyed an excellent reputation we observed a varying degree of attention to detail, especially in the fit and finish of the interior. Since this was our retirement home we wanted to have a builder who prided themselves on attention to detail. This we found to be a major focus of Coastal Signature Homes. The CHS team constructed our home ahead of schedule and although we added a number of additional items to the original contract also very close to the original budget. My wife's comment once the house was completed was "it exceeded her expectations". The associates at Coastal Signature Homes were both professional and personable and kept us advised of their progress at each phase of the construction process. They alerted us in advance when various decisions regarding colors, fixtures, flooring selections, etc. would be needed. The entire building process was an enjoyable experience due in great part to CSH's expertise. Their team effort turned a house into our home.

The best thing I could tell a prospective CSH client is - I would definitely build another house with this team. This project was the first time we built a home for ourselves and the team at CSH helped us through the process with great professionalism and skill. Our home was delivered on time and on budget. CSH kept us informed on our homes progress weekly and at times daily with emails and photos. They guided us through the process of selecting the materials, finishes and products for our home with professionalism, patience and the understanding of what really adds value to daily life once you move into a home. The quality of the finished product is remarkable. We love our home.

Our search for a home builder began shortly after we purchased our lot in Hampton Lake in 2016. We learned of Coastal Signature Homes through their model home at the time. We found ourselves returning to their model time after time. We were impressed with their attention to details, unique finishings and floorplans and creative use of spaces. More importantly we were impressed that they were at their model, available to answer questions. Typically It was Steve Tilton! As we spent more time with him his passion for this industry was evident. We have been in our beautiful low-country home almost a year now and we are proud to be a member of the Coastal Signature Homes family. The core group that comprises this company is unique in their on-going commitment to their clients and their community. “Ask what your builder can do for you” (Steve’s motto) rings true both professionally and personally with his entire staff and his sub-contractors. We highly recommend Steve Tilton and Coastal Signature Homes as a builder of choice.

Four years ago we built our “low country” home and are pleased with the communication and friendship we have with CSH since.With Steve’s outstanding design, vision and Leah’s team in coordinating, our timeline worked out well. All were very attentive to any follow-up issues. We are very satisfied and happy with the results. We recommend CSH to future home builders.

This builder was a pleasure to work with. His homes are distinctive and one of the best I have seen. Working with this company is like working with family. And Tia family that stays with you after the job is done

Coastal Signature Homes did everything they promised on budget and ahead of schedule. We love our new home! We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to build a custom home.
