We had a very good experience working with Saltwater Homes while building our home last year. Everyone was very professional but also warm and personal and encouraging to us through out the process. Lane was always positive and available to help walk us through the initial processes of obtaining a plan and getting permission from our neighborhood architectural review board which can be very confusing and frustrating to a first time builder. They made it a smooth process for us. I was so impressed with their quick responses to our many questions and concerns - they were so careful to explain all of the pros and cons of the various decisions encountered in building a home. Scott James was our primary project manager, and he was very quick to respond when we contacted him throughout the process. Scott also paid very close attention to even the smallest of details and this really made a difference in the quality of our home. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy and satisfied with the various steps along the way. We are so pleased with the final result! I would highly recommend Saltwater Homes to anyone.

They were always available and always keeping us up-to-date on the process. They were very easy to work with and it was always a very pleasant and encouraging experience to meet with them as we progressed. Scott James, our project manager, paid great attention to detail and was so quick to get back to us anytime we contacted him. I would highly recommend Saltwater Homes to anyone and I have in fact given their name to several friends. We are very pleased with the end result and are enjoying our home so much!
Lead Source - We saw a home that we liked in our old neighborhood before we sold our house and approached the owners who told us Saltwater Homes had built it. They invited us in to see the home and we were very impressed with the design and building details.
Our experience with Saltwater Homes can be expressed as saying without a doubt, I would highly recommend this builder for his outstanding persistence, reputation, and the quality of his work. His virtue is go above and beyond to satisfy the home owner without the burden of extra expenses. His work ethics also include to maintain the set budget and place your mind as ease through the building process. As he says, "Let us do the worrying".

Lead Source - My wife and I interviewed several builders and found that we just clicked with Lane Baker of Saltwater Homes
I would recommend Saltwater Homes to anyone & everyone. They may not be the cheapest builder but you pay for what you get. The professionalism of these guys was phenomenal. The horror stories that I have heard from other people building houses using different contractors never materialized. Lane & Wade actually made this a fun & enjoyable process !!!
Areas For Improvement - None
Areas Of Satisfaction - Completely satisfied, I don't think there is a better home builder in the southeast
Where Saltwater really shines, I was never out of touch with my project manager Scott James. There was never a period that I didn't hear back from him when I had a question. Communication is so big, and they always made me feel like my questions were important to them. They helped me understand on my level exactly what was happening. They have excellent workmanship, especially their trim work. They far exceeded my expectations. I have the home I've been dreaming about for the last 15 years.
Construction Quality - It was a 10. They were awesome.

Lead Source - I started a few years ago walking myself through the internet to build my retirement house. That is exactly how I stumbled onto Saltwater. I was so impressed with their website and their information. I got 5 bids on my home. They were just right in there. I was so comfortable with the people at Saltwater; they're like family to me now. I knew from my first meeting that they would take care of me. I feel like I really lucked out. Who finds someone this great and satisfactory on the internet? I built in an area that is coastal. The name "Saltwater" is something that made me go to the website as well.

They are eager to make things work for you, professional, courteous, and easy to get in touch with. Saltwater Homes is a great builders that does a fabulous job and cares about what they're doing.
Expertise - One thing that I liked about Saltwater was that when I was searching for a builder, he knew about how much it would cost just by looking at the plans, and his estimate was very close. He knows his business and how much things cost - the bid was only $8K off his estimate.
Schedule - He did a great job with the scheduling.
Budget - I came in $600 over budget, but we called it a wash because this was due to the city of Mt. Pleasant.
Construction Quality - The workmanship was out of this world! Top quality. I had several people come to the house and copy what he did.
Communication - Anything I needed, the staff was right there to answer any questions. The project manager, Wade, was on site every day and met with me to discuss what was going on. Very well done.
Problem Resolution - They were ahead of the game.
Clean & Safe - It was remarkable how clean it was every night. It was always clean, never any debris or trash laying around.

Areas Of Satisfaction - I was satisfied in all areas working with Saltwater Homes. They are well rounded, knew their craft, and had wonderful subcontractors who were all professional and courteous and took pride in what they did.
Form beginning to end, he went through everything with us. It can be a pretty daunting process with building a house from the ground up. He built it in less than 120 days and thats just beyond doubt as far as the ability of him to keep track of what we wanted. He really was good about appealing with what we wanted.

The contractors that were used were not respectful of our property and they caused damage to our property that Georgia Water and Fire were not willing to take responsibility for. It caused us additional damage and work that had to be done that they refused to complete
Jenny and JJ were great! From the beginning they helped us with every decision on our home and provided great insight making selections. Anytime we had a a question or concern they were quick to address it and come up with a solution.
If my project was handled in a timely manner, I would have been a whole lot happier. I do feel that they should have compensated me in some way for the inconvenience, but they did not.
