For nearly 40 years, Ilderton Contracting has been working with homeowners throughout Charleston, South Carolina and the surrounding Lowcountry. Known as one of the area’s most trusted and experienced custom home builders, we’ve built our reputation on quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a personalized approach to each home we build. We understand both the aspirations of our clients and the unique challenges of residential construction in coastal South Carolina. We are always happy to offer no-obligation consultations to discuss your project.

Building your dream home should be a rewarding and meaningful experience. At Ilderton Contracting, we believe every custom home deserves individual attention, thoughtful planning, and exceptional execution. Here’s what sets our process apart:

• Collaborative Communication: We work closely with you and your architect to ensure clear, complete communication from the start of the project through completion.

• Thorough Site & Plan Review: We evaluate every home site and design plan in detail to help identify and resolve potential design issues before construction begins.

• Adaptability & Improvement: As your project progresses, we remain flexible and look for ways to enhance the outcome—whether through updated materials, design refinements, or cost-saving alternatives.

• Craftsmanship & Custom Millwork: We are deeply focused on the small details that make a home truly special. With our own custom millwork shop, we offer unique architectural elements that bring character and lasting beauty to each space.

• Delivering Value: Our goal is to honor every contract while going beyond expectations to deliver added value wherever possible.

We’ve proudly served clients across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island, Kiawah Island, Daniel Island, the Isle of Palms, and other coastal communities throughout the Lowcountry.

With decades of experience building on South Carolina’s barrier islands, we also bring a high level of expertise in hurricane-resistant construction. Every custom home we build is constructed to meet, or exceed, local hurricane wind resistance standards. We’re proud to note that none of the homes we’ve built on the barrier islands were destroyed when Hurricane Hugo struck the Charleston area in 1989.

If you’re seeking high-quality construction, personal service, and a skilled, knowledgeable team for your custom home project in Charleston or the surrounding area, contact Ilderton Contracting today to schedule your consultation.
