What We Do

We Build Meaningful & Lasting Relationships

We’re not just building or renovating homes.

We recognize our clients are trusting us with their most valuable financial asset – their home – and trusting us to add value or a create a place their own.  Because the construction process can be intimidating and overwhelming, we work to alleviate the stress so it can even be fun.  We do this through managing every step of the way and strong communication. In the end, our clients enjoy their new home, know that we have created lasting value, and often have made a new friend.

Why Choose Us

Lee Built Homes is owned by Joey Varin, a graduate of the Citadel, former active-duty United States Army, and current Engineer Officer in the SC Army Reserve National Guard. With this background, Joey brings an unparalleled level of discipline to his business since its inception in 2014. 

  • Whether it’s a custom build or a remodel, project management is a critical component of success.  From developing an accurate budget to working within it, to developing a realistic timeline to delivering it, we pride ourselves on excelling in project management.   

  • We’re organized and speak honestly and openly.  We provide regular updates so you’re always in the loop and know what to expect.  This gives our clients peace of mind.

  • We also pride ourselves on our interpersonal skills and the ability to lead – two other critical components of success. We leverage our strong relationships with surveying, land planning, architects, the Town, and interior designers to ensure the project is seen as a whole (much like Joey’s background at the Citadel.) As the leader of your entire design-build team, we work to achieve cohesion so that everyone is on the same page and your vision is executed.  When we work together and there is clear leadership, results are achieved.

  • The quality of craftsmanship matters to the overall value of your home, whether it’s a renovation or custom build, so it’s critical that each detail carefully addressed.  A good builder truly cares about each step and the process to control the desired outcome, something resonates with Joey and his team. Small elements matter and we care about each of them.

  • Seeing our clients’ dreams come to reality and our hard work payoff is what fuels our daily work.  The experience of seeing our clients faces when their final project is revealed is a wonderful feeling. We are so proud that often our clients tell us it is even better than they expected.  The smiles, kind words, and gratitude of our previous clients speak volumes. Exceeding expectations drives us to work even harder.
