Founded in 1988 by James "Donnie" Smith, the J.D. Smith Company quickly gained a powerful reputation as one of the Charleston region's most respected and talented custom home builders.
We focus entirely on new construction of custom and semi-custom homes, averaging 20-25 homes built per year.
We have a great team! We boast of our staff's longevity with employment and increasing. In addition to myself, our team consists of a project manager, field supervisors, a construction coordinator, an accounting and closing coordinator, and an office administrator.
We maintain a high standard of customer service.
Our clients are quality and detail-oriented, and are usually move-up buyers.
Our customers are our best advertisements through word of mouth.
Our team routinely attends seminars to maintain knowledge of current market trends. We also take advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the local and national homebuilders associations.
I hire good people and treat them well.
I enjoy the satisfaction of helping clients fulfill their dreams.
We always recommend that clients use pictures as tools to illustrate their likes and dislikes. Customers can also help by maintaining close communications during the selection process.
Currently, the most significant challenge we face is price increases for supplies and materials that are beyond our control.
We plan on expanding to other areas throughout the Charleston region.
The J.D. Smith Company is accredited with the CGP (Certified Green Professional) designation by the National Home Builders Association.
Stacy Gray, a member of my staff, has earned her CGB (Certified Graduate Builder) designation. This designation is a benchmark achievement, administered by the National Home Builders Association, which identifies the home building industries top professionals.
