Hilton Head Island Realtor and Designer

I have just wrapped up my 5th remodel project with Lee Built Homes and I just wanted to commend everyone on all their hard work. I am so thankful that we get to continue to work together. Over the last several years, as a Realtor and Designer, I have called on Joey for inspection items and complete remodel jobs for homes of all sizes. Each project has finished on time and turned out beautiful work. From a small 2 bedroom villa to a 6 bedroom ocean oriented home, his attention to detail and communication has been consistent, collaborative and impressive. Joey's calm nature and solutions based, forward moving attitude is key when we are working on projects that can uncover an unexpected reality in a tight timeline. He has great ideas and works with me and my clients to produce a functional and attractive resolution to something that may otherwise be a stopping point for other contractors. Joey is respectful and always in contact when you need him. He has great relationships with his subcontractors and people in place and it shows in the homes he delivers. My clients have gone on to use him on their own for future projects and have been very happy with the experience. He is a true professional and holds himself to a high standard. I cannot say enough positive things about Joey as a person and as a skilled leader in his industry. Thanks so much, Joey and your entire Lee Built team!

Hilton Head Custom Home Customer

After our first meeting with Joey, we knew that Lee Built Homes was the right choice for our custom low country home. While still in NJ, during the initial stages of the build, Joey, who is trustworthy, patient and knowledgeable, kept us well informed of the progress, which confirmed our decision, again, to go with Lee Built Homes. Joey took the time to choose the right subcontractors for the job, which is a good representation of the Lee Built Homes. Joey was on the job site regularly, along with his project supervisor, overseeing and involved with all aspects of the building process. As an interior decorator, I appreciated Joey’s level of attention to detail and his willingness to work collaboratively with me. We are very pleased with the final results of our Hilton Head home and continue to receive compliments. For this reason, we have recommended Lee Built Homes to others.

Joey is a consummate professional and takes pride in his work product. He was easy to work with and always responsive in communicating which was paramount as our renovation took place when we were living out of state with scheduled onsite visits. Attention to detail and planning from the start gave us tremendous trust we were in good hands. The completed project came in on budget and while Joey expects high quality craftsmanship we always felt he was paying close attention to cost. As a bonus we made a new friend. Should the opportunity arise in the future for building needs we will look no further than Lee Built Homes.

I have used Joey on several of my renovation jobs for my own home as well as those of clients. It is always a pleasure to work with Joey because in addition to his professionalism, he is such a good, upstanding person. He is skilled at communicating; both in listening to and interpreting the clients’ needs/wishes as well as being responsive in returning phone calls and keeping you in the loop. He is good at problem solving, making sure the job is done correctly, without any question. I would certainly recommend Joey for your renovation needs.

Daniel Island Customer

Joey Varin and his team at Lee Built Homes recently completed a new custom build on our home, as well as, upgrading areas of our home. Joey's professional knowledge of structural elements and planning were invaluable. Through his actions during all phases of the build, he showed us that he obviously cares about making sure that the smallest of details are right, which greatly reduced our stress, and has led to enormous satisfaction for us. The new space he created is extremely high end, custom, and beautiful! He also completely replaced and renovated our fireplace and surround which transformed our living space beautifully, and upgraded our master bathroom. Joey made sure all along the way that we were satisfied, and allowed us to be creative without rushing the process. As homeowners with prior experience in building, it has been so satisfying to feel happy with our final selections, and to get exactly what we wanted in the end. In fact, every time I walk into the new space I am smiling, because it is just so stunning and has so many custom details! Honesty, professionalism, expert custom craftsmanship, and personal care and attention are the words to sum up my experience working with Joey Varin and Lee Built Homes.

James Island Renovation Customer

We just completed out home renovation with Lee Built Homes and could not be any happier. Joey was extremely knowledgeable, contributed great ideas throughout the construction process, delivered high quality craftsmanship, and was always very responsive. He laid out a very clear budget, with allowances for us to work within so we could have the freedom of choosing materials, appliances, tile, lighting, etc. without going over budget. We would recommend Joey to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy contractor for a home remodel of any size.

New Construction Customer

Responsive, deliberate, thoughtful and skilled! That is Joey from Lee Built homes. Having lived in a home he built I only have accolades. This is a guy you can do business with and be pleased with the outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend this exemplary builder to anyone in the greater Charleston area. A big plus, he is never too busy to follow up.

Charleston Renovation Customer

We hired Joey and his group to help with some minor renovations to our new home. As a first time homeowner, I was anxious about the work, the timing and the project. After our experience, I wish I could hire this firm to do ALL of the remodeling I desire in the home, and will as soon as the time arises. They completed the work on time, did an exceptional job, and I am extremely pleased with the finished project. They were also very courteous, kept us informed and did small things to show they truly respected and cared about the work they were doing. Construction jobs are rarely perfect, but this group strove for excellence and did not stop until we were 100% satisfied. I would recommend Lee Built Homes and will use them again myself.

Joey Varin and his company were extremely professional and my wife and I could not be happier with the outcome of their work and efforts. I would recommend Lee Built Homes to anyone looking for front-to-back contracting work, and anything in between. Mr. Varin went as far as to meet us at Lowes to pick out bathroom/ shower tile, to carpeting options and they really and truly went above and beyond in work inside the house. Their work is impeccable, they made the right "executive decisions" on the job and besides being extremely friendly and great in communication, they tidied up when the job was complete. HIGHLY Recommend!
