Howard Custom Builders/Renovators

Be very careful with Howard Custom Builders. They have a bad habit and are known by the industry to not paying their bills. They have built several larger homes and due to money issues, He doesn't resolve problems once you move in. And because he doesn't pay his sub's on time they either place or threaten to place liens on the new homes. Not what you want to deal with when you are building a house. Find a better builder. If he disagrees ask him for the contacts of the 4 homes he built in Willow Ridge for references.

We love Eddie with Howard Custom Builders. He has done two renovations for us including building a new garage, renovating our 1929 bungalow and building the space above the garage into a small apartment. With both renovations, we had someone at our house almost everyday. Eddie was able to do both our projects quickly because we had time constraints and he was able to start them faster than we were ready for. He is easy to work with and very patient and friendly.

I would not recommend doing any work for this company. They will not pay their contractors. He has a mechanics lien against his residence due to not paying his subcontractors.

From beginning to end Howard Custom Builders met and exceeded our greatest expectations. The scope of the project was overwhelming but Mr. Howard made us feel at ease and we had confidence he could deliver. The project began with a casual meeting. He listened to our design wishes and requirements. We needed walls taken out, new lighting, new flooring, windows, new kitchen, new rock face on the fireplace and additions or enhancements to every room in the house. Eddie and the sub contractors went above and beyond what we could have ever dreamed of. Great Job!!

Eddie was one of the best contractors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He was very knowledge, dependable and responsive through the entire process. When building our plan/vision, he was very hands on in the design process, transparent about what our budget would allow and made sure we didn’t exceed it. And each time we had a question or concern, he addressed it immediately (even in person when he could). He had a lot of good suggestions and resources. He even let me borrow a few of his personal tools for a few side projects I was working on. He was very trustworthy and all around a good person. I’m looking forward to our next remolding phase with him. And most importantly, the end result was exactly what we envisioned and more. A++

Eddie was one of the few contractors in Greenville who got back to us right away and he kept that level of communication throughout our entire project. He is friendly, warm and honest. He did an amazing job on our addition and we highly recommend him.

Howard Custom Builders did a wonderful job on our master bath remodel. The tradesmen were skilled and respectful of our property. Eddie Howard had many good design ideas and material choices. His insight made our decision making easier. We would definitely recommend this company.

Eddie and his team at Howard Custom Builders were reliable, responsive, creative and very very prompt. From the day we contacted Eddie about our project until the day our porch was finished we were in constant communication. We have a historic home and were concerned about staying in the spirit of the home while using more modern and durable materials. Eddie made sure we were satisfied with all our decisions before ordering, accompanied us to outlets to look at the materials in person and checked in at every step to make sure his vision and ours matched up. Robbie and Steven and all the other guys on the crew were polite, hard working and very good at what they did. We are totally satisfied with the work and would recommend Howard Custom Builders to anyone who is looking to remodel or add on to their house, particularly if you have an older home and are looking for someone with respect for period construction.

We contracted with Eddie to remove a wall between our kitchen and family room, paint kitchen, family room and foyer, replace balusters on stairs and refinish floors. Eddie was always available via text, phone or overseeing sub-contractors in the house. At one point our painting sub-contractor used the wrong trim paint and Eddie quickly interceded to resolve by having painters come back and make it right. We highly recommend Eddie as a general contractor for big and small projects.

Great working with Howard Custom Builders! They helped fix and resolve my issue and even helped me find a cheaper solution/alternative.

We loved working with Eddie Howard. He was very clear in his agreements and he and his subcontractors did very good work. If there was something we were not fully happy with then Eddie would make sure that it was remedied. He is very kind and keeps his cool in all situations. He also made sure there was someone working in our house everyday (which was 5 months). His employees were also very polite, clean, courteous and easy to have in our home everyday.

Excellent service and communication with Eddie Howard and great performance and always available at site and all subs he use are very professional and easy to communicate.
