What Our Clients Are Saying

“Building our house with Dunbar Builders was an enjoyable experience that was made easy and fun because of Pat and Patrick’s experience, knowledge, strong subcontractor relationships, and commitment to the promised budget and timeline. We could not be happier with the final product. Their attention to detail allowed us to be able to add accents and features that we absolutely love. If we had to do it all again, we wouldn’t change a thing!”

- Helen Johnson

“We selected Dunbar Builders because of their reputation, courtesy during the interview, the quality of the work demonstrated in their homes, and price for the quality. Pat and Patrick have made the building of our home very easy. We built this home while living in northern Virginia and were only able to come down periodically. They gave me constant updates via phone and email and were always very responsive to any of my requests or questions.”

- Tom Pinnell, Lake Murray SC

“We were referred to Dunbar Builders by the draftsman who helped us design our home. After talking with several other builders, we chose Dunbar Builders because of their good communication, value, and quality of workmanship. After seeing one of Dunbar’s houses in the Parade of Homes, we knew that their practical custom building style fit our needs, and they had excellent recommendations to make our house even better.”

- Shaun Wolfe, Chapin SC

“When we first went to see Pat we met him at his home, which he had built. We were impressed with the quality of the building and finishes, and also with Pat’s experience and his level of excitement when he talked with us about our new home. Dunbar’s team of subcontractors is, in my opinion, excellent. Their attention to detail along with Pat’s follow-up was great. When it came time to close, Pat and I both did a punch list. There was never any question about the issues on the list. They were simply corrected, and I will say that the items on the list were very small.”
