Can I give 6 stars?! Joey McCain's design, his eye for just the perfect touch, gave me far more than I envisioned! His professionalism with an upfront, very detailed contract is beyond what I am I use to dealing with in this area. He is truly honest and cares about his workmanship and craft. And, to top off the above, 6 months later, he was checking to make sure that I am still satisfied with his work! Yes, way more than 5 stars!

When we were looking for a builder for our home on Lake Murray, Joey McCain was
recommended to us by our son-in- laws parents. We met Joey at our home site on the lake one
Saturday morning for a quick meeting that stretched into nearly three hours. We immediately

an absolute pleasure to work with. He has offered

This communication was extremely important to us as we were remaining in our existing home over 500 miles away while our new home was being
