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.

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.

When we started a remodel on a recent home purchase, we asked 3 different companies to give us a quote. HCB got us their quote before we could even meet with the other 2 companies. By the time we received a quote from the second company, based on our experience up to that point with and the excellent price from HCB, that we would go with them. They actually had permits pulled and were starting demo before we even received the quote from the last company (which was considerably more expensive anyways). Throughout the entire remodel, HCB was responsive to our phone calls, questions, and needs and provided excellent customer service. We have remodeled several homes and understand that often in a remodel, you encounter unexpected expenses. During this remodel, that of course happened as well, but HCB was quick to offer alternative solutions in order to still stay on budget and time. The entire project came in on budget and finished sooner than anticipated, which has never happened with any other remodel we have done. When we bought the home, we said we purchased a "pile of bricks and some land" because it needed to be completely gutted and rebuilt. We also added a garage and front porch in addition to a complete tear down and rebuild of every single room in the house. As we went through the process, HCB offered suggestions for ways to improve areas without costing us more money and when we ran into issues they solved them quickly and painlessly. I cannot say enough about my experience with HCB. I will never use another company when remodeling a home. They have been an absolute joy to work with.

Howard Custom Builders was an excellent choice. Mr. Howard is very professional, pleasant to work with, communicates regularly by phone calls or texts, and hires very professional contractors for the various projects. We are thrilled with the end result, and would definitely recommend his company to anyone looking to do an upgrade, remodel or new construction.

My moms house had extensive termite and moisture damage to her home of 30 years. Her playroom, dining room, foyer and kitchen floors had to be completely torn out and replaced. What a journey this was going to be for me to keep mom calm. My second thought was who could I trust to do this job correctly? After 3-4 weeks of meeting people and crawling under the house many times to show the damage to multiple contractors, I was getting quotes that went as high as 55k. That price was only to fix the damaged wood, not to fix the termite or moisture damage that created this issue over many years. It seemed like a huge job to us; however, Eddie eased our worries after explaining what would be done and his timeline to accomplish this. Eddie did a great Job in keeping mom happy which kept me happy. He was on time and took care of everything that needed to be handled. He made sure we where happy with the complete job and I will be using him again for any home projects and would recommend him highly.

Owner is very interested in complete satisfaction to the homeowner. From the bid and quote process thru the completed project. Quality of work is excellent and stands behind his work. If you call him back after the project is complete he responds immediately. Can ask for much more. Pricing is very reasonable. This is the second time I used him. He added a den and master bedroom in 2015.

Eddie Howard, Howard Custom Builders was the general contractor for a conservatory style sun room and deck.
Eddie's bid, using construction drawings, was very competitive. He started the work within two weeks and finished in the expected time. Eddie communicates daily. Every time I had questions or concerns Eddie was considerate and above all, patient. He has a great relationship with his subcontractors who react to him immediately. Eddie worked well with our architect/designer whenever he had a question about finishing details. When material I ordered were needed Eddie worked with my vendor to expedite the delivery and their on-site work.
The results are excellent as were most of his contractors.
We highly recommend Eddie and will be using him again in the future.

My experience with Howard Custom Builders was great. I was adding a small addition to my house which included excavation, concrete work, electrical, plumbing,and carpentry. It's a calculated risk picking a contractor but I felt comfortable working with Eddie Howard from the very first meeting.
The most important things are that he did what he said, was (still is) very responsive, stayed within budget and finished on schedule. When issues did arise (my house is quite old and there were a couple of unexpected surprises) he was calm and reasonable and did no work until we agreed upon the scope and price.
The workmanship is wonderful and comments I receive from friends are that the addition looks like it has always been here, very much the original style of the house and a quality job.
I am very happy and would (and have) recommend Eddie Howard if you are looking for a contractor.

Project: Extension of Garage
We extended our garage 15 feet. The project took about 6 weeks to complete. An additional breaker box was added and 7 new outlets. The extension also added 16 more feet to our attic storage. Ed managed the work exceptionally well. The subcontractors were professional and Ed ensured that trash receptacles were available to them, as well as, Port-a-Jon. The quality of work was great and I would recommend Ed for any home improvement project.

We recently had our kitchen and bath renovated by HCB. We had the process completed during our summer vacation, which was five days in total. Despite the very short time frame, we came home to find both projects completed and were thrilled with the results! Our kitchen had new cabinet upgrades, a beautiful new island, new lights, (both recessed and over the island), new corner desk and a white tile back splash. The upstairs bath was dated and in need of a facelift as well. In went a new custom-made vanity, new floor tiles, toilet, mirror, lights, etc. Although we were a little ambivalent about being away during the process, it was the best decision for our family. Eddie Howard took great care and responsibility of our home while we were gone and I trusted him completely. He is highly organized and a man of integrity. He has respect for both his customers AND contractors. I would highly recommend HCB to anyone interested in renovations for their home.

Eddie Howard is an easy going, hard working contractor. He re-modeled our kitchen...(see photos on 202 Walnut Trace Court, Simpsonville, SC) and it is a dream to enjoy. Everyone that comes in enjoys it's glamor and workability. I recommend Howard Custom Builders for their ability to make a room into a work of art. Thanks Eddie.....we love it more every year.

Howard Custom Builders provided renovations upon the purchase of a home. The laundry room was relocated from the main floor to the basement, with all hook ups handled seamlessly. The old laundry space was converted into an extended kitchen. The most difficult piece was matching the finish on the new cabinetry to the existing. After the initial attempt (not good), Eddie Howard said, "this isn't right, I'll get it fixed". And he did. The cabinets were removed & sent to another finisher, who matched exactly the existing finish. The piece I was so impressed about was that I didn't have to argue with the contractor at all. Mr. Howard took so much pride in his work that he handled it himself. I would recommend him to anyone!

We decided to add a screened porch to the back of our home. We got bids from three separate contractors. Eddie's was not the least expensive, but we decided to use him because of his willingness to listen to us and find ways to incorporate what we wanted into the overall design. I knew, in my mind, how I wanted the porch to look and we ended up with exactly what we wanted and more because we, too, listened to Eddie.
It was a great partnership throughout the project because he kept us informed every step of the way and was always available when we have questions or wanted to make changes. His flexibility throughout was amazing. We have recommended Eddie to several friends for projects and they have all been as happy as we are with the work he did.

We had a load bearing wall removed between our kitchen and family room. Cabinetry reconfigured, granite countertops and tile backsplash. We had a wall oven microwave removed and the kitchen redone for a drop in oven and overhead microwave. Eddie did a great job with pricing. We were never surprised. He did a great job working with the subcontractors. The kitchen surpassed our expectations.
