Looking for a custom home builder in Upstate SC?

My custom lake house is gorgeous and way beyond my expectations. Kyle Boerner made the entire process a pleasure (does anybody ever say that during a home building experience?!?). Kyle was very informative on each build process, he is excellent and scheduling his sub contractors so there is always progress, he accommodated my changes without hesitation, and he is very personable. I will use Boerner Construction if I ever build another home!
