Built for Coastal Living on Kiawah & Seabrook Island

Building luxury homes on Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island requires specialized expertise far beyond standard construction. Salt air, moisture, heat, and coastal exposure can significantly impact materials, finishes, and long-term structural integrity.

As experienced Charleston luxury home builders, we help homeowners make informed decisions that protect their investment. From corrosion-resistant hardware and moisture-control systems to durable exterior materials and refined interior finishes, every detail is thoughtfully selected to ensure longevity, performance, and timeless beauty.

The result is a custom coastal home that not only looks exceptional, but stands up to the elements of beachfront and island living.

Our Happy Clients

A Happy Client
Carson created a beautiful custom outdoor bar for us & a hanging bed! Great prices compared to other quotes. Such good craftsmanship! Highly recommend!
A Happy Client
This is the most recent of many projects by Custom Carolina Construction, and once again they exceeded our expectations and Carson knocked another home run for us with his skilled craftsmanship. He built a custom mantle and trim around our fireplace. Also measured and installed custom cabinets. And he built custom crown moulding in master bedroom with Led lights glowing behind the crown to create a unique ambiance. He also wrapped the rest of the home with beautiful custom crown moulding. He hung all new custom doors throughout entire home. This company is proffessional, punctual, experienced, and family owned. You can find his craftsmanship in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, Charleston magazine, and many others. I highly recommend and encourage everyone to use this company for their next renovations.

When a hurricane took the deck and boardwalk to access the beach from our beach house, leaving a precipitous drop to the beach, we called Carson immediately. He responded immediately due to the dangerous situation as we expected renters in the near future. Carson had done work for us in the past and we trust him. Hiring a talented, experienced, honest and trustworthy professional like Carson is important to us as we live in the Upstate of SC and cannot monitor the projects at our house. He has done numerous projects for us over the years and we are always thrilled with the outcome. His craftsmanship is impeccable. Our deck and boardwalk are sturdy, safe and gorgeous!
Gerald H.
Carson and his crew did an excellent and very thorough job. The work took longer than anticipated, but that was primarily due to the customizations required because of the non-standard way many of the original windows were installed. The new windows look great and we have already noticed that the house seems warmer during this cooler winter weather.
Charles W.
Carson is a wonderful carpenter and very professional. He's careful and exacting in his work, and always kept me informed on the schedule. Once he started the job he worked until it was done which I really appreciate. He also had great ideas and was adaptable to my plans. I highly recommend him for any project.
Lyn H.
I am very pleased! The new deck is beautiful, sturdy and secure. I loved Carson’s suggestions and I am glad we took his advice about design. He is talented with much experience. Also, this is a rental property. Carson was mindful to complete work on time so we did not lose any business! Thank you, Carson!
Betty O.
My husband and I met with Carson and explained what kind of deck we wanted built on the back of the house. We wanted a deck to cover an old patio and extend from the french doors in the living room to the back door of the house. He had some great suggestions about the layout of the deck and stairs. The deck turned out great and Carson was great to work with during the four days it took to build the deck.
