Anvis Alarm handles residential alarm and home security systems for the Greenville area, from the initial setup of a system through the service and upkeep that keeps it running afterward. It is a locally based option for Upstate homeowners who would rather work with a company in the area than one of the large national security brands.

Fairview got its start in 2004 building inside The Cliffs communities, and high-end custom homes in that mold are still the core of the work: large residences suited to the mountain and lakeside settings north of Travelers Rest, out toward Lake Keowee and across the state line into Western North Carolina. The company takes a project from the first consultation and site analysis through design and construction, and handles luxury renovations as well, with an in-house interior designer on those. It is a family business now in its second generation, founded by Steve Hamblan and run today by his sons Chris and Drew. Over roughly twenty years the team has delivered more than a hundred homes and earned over thirty-five Home Builders Association awards since 2018.

Gabriel Builders designs and builds high-end custom homes across the Upstate and the Carolina mountains through a turnkey design-build-interiors model that keeps architecture, construction, and interior design under one roof. Founded in 1984 and family-owned by the Rubios, the firm concentrates on luxury homes in communities like The Cliffs at Mountain Park, Keowee, and Glassy, and works throughout the scenic mountain and lake regions of South and North Carolina, from Travelers Rest and Lake Keowee out to Highlands and Cashiers. It is a locally owned builder with national recognition, named NAHB National Custom Home Builder of the Year in 2014 on top of numerous state and regional awards. Across verified client surveys, the detail people return to most is the communication: clear, collaborative, and steady from early design through move-in.

Elements Design Build keeps both halves of a home project, the design and the build itself, inside one firm, so a homeowner is not handed back and forth between a designer and a separate general contractor. It works with people across the Upstate who want one team carrying a Simpsonville-area project from the first drawings through to the finished result.

Galloway Custom Homes works at the custom end of homebuilding: new houses built to an owner's own plans and chosen lot rather than picked from a fixed set of production floor plans, with the builder coordinating the trades, permits, and schedule from early design decisions through to a finished, move-in home. It is the route for buyers who want real control over layout, materials, and finishes, and who are willing to trade the speed of a production build for a house shaped around how they actually live.

Grander Construction is a general contractor located in Greer. Rated 5 stars from 52 Google reviews.

Koti Custom Homes builds houses to order in Greer and the surrounding Upstate, the kind of project where the owner starts with a lot and a set of plans rather than choosing from a builder's catalog of stock models. It handles a home from the early planning straight through to the finished build.

A2E Builders is a custom and luxury home builder working across Greer, Greenville County, and the wider Upstate. Partners Bruce Aho and Jay Estola have run the company since 2007, and their stated approach is to build each house as though they were going to live in it themselves. Alongside ground-up custom homes, the team handles remodels, building additions, bathroom and laundry room renovations, accessory dwelling units, and deck and patio work. They bring clients in early, treating the pre-construction consultation as the stage where design decisions and budget get reconciled, and they work with an interior design specialist on finish selections so the details come together. Reviewers consistently point to steady communication through the build, flexibility in reworking plans, and craftsmanship that holds up in the finished home, with several noting that they compared multiple builders before choosing A2E on value. Because every project is custom, scope and pricing are set through a direct consultation rather than published rates.

1st Choice Custom Homes takes on built-to-order houses around Greenville, working as the general contractor that carries a build from the first set of plans through to the finished home. The focus is on houses shaped to one owner's plans rather than move-in-ready spec homes.

Milestone Custom Homes designs and builds one-of-a-kind houses across the Upstate, taking on each project as the general contractor rather than selling from a set of stock floor plans. For a homeowner that means a single point of accountability across the whole build: plans, permitting, the trades on site, and the schedule all run through one builder, from the first drawings to the final walkthrough. Because the work is custom, the starting point is how a family actually wants to live rather than a model already framed on a lot. The service area, the kinds of homes they take on, and current availability are worth confirming with the builder directly, and the fuller story of their process and completed homes is something the owners are best placed to tell.

Goodwin Foust is a custom home builder working with homeowners across the Greenville area. The firm concentrates on one-off, built-to-plan houses shaped around each client's own design and specifications rather than production or spec homes.

Bluestone Construction operates as a general contractor, which means it carries the single point of responsibility on a build or renovation: lining up the trades, handling permits, and keeping the job on schedule rather than leaving a homeowner to coordinate a half-dozen subcontractors alone. That coordinating role is the practical difference on any project larger than a one-trade repair. A general contractor's scope can range from a full custom home to an addition or a whole-room renovation, so a homeowner comparing bids will want to pin down which of those this crew concentrates on. Those specifics, along with the areas it covers, are the details worth confirming directly before the work begins.

As both the home builder and the general contractor on its projects, Dillard-Jones takes a new build from groundwork through finish work with one team coordinating the subcontractors, scheduling, and on-site management, rather than leaving the owner to assemble and oversee separate trades. The work covers Greenville and the surrounding Upstate, which makes the firm a fit for homeowners who want a single point of accountability across the whole construction.

The company operates as a general contractor in addition to its heating and cooling work, so a system install or repair and the surrounding construction a larger project calls for can be handled by one team rather than split across separate trades. That single point of contact is the practical draw for a homeowner whose job runs past a straightforward equipment swap.

Air Kool Heat & Air takes the calls that come with Upstate weather: air conditioning that quits in the July humidity, a furnace or heat pump that stops keeping up when a cold snap sets in, and the aging system that has reached replacement rather than one more repair. Alongside those, the crew handles the routine seasonal maintenance that keeps a unit from failing at the worst possible time for homes around Simpsonville.

Bailey Heating & Controls handles heating and cooling for homes and businesses around Simpsonville, and, as the name indicates, the control systems that go with them: the thermostats, zoning, and settings that decide how well the equipment actually runs. That last part is the piece a lot of comfort and efficiency problems trace back to, long after the unit itself is fine.

Service Pro Heating and Air handles the cooling and heating systems that Greer homes lean on year round, from air conditioning repairs and replacements in the summer to furnace and heat pump work once the temperature drops. Alongside installs and repairs, the team does the seasonal maintenance that catches a small problem before it becomes a no-heat or no-cool call, serving Greer and the surrounding Upstate.

Climate Right Heating and Cooling is a heating and cooling contractor serving homeowners in and around Greer. The team works on HVAC systems through every season, from furnace and heat pump repairs when the temperature drops to air conditioning service and replacements during the long Upstate summers.

Howell HVAC handles the heating and cooling work that keeps Upstate homes comfortable year round, from new system installations and replacements to everyday repairs and seasonal maintenance. Based in Greer, it is an independent local operation rather than a national franchise.

First Class Heating & Air is a heating and cooling contractor serving homes across the Greenville area. The business handles residential heating and air conditioning for Upstate South Carolina households, keeping cooling systems working through humid summers and heating systems ready for winter.

Sanders Heating & Cooling covers heating and air conditioning across the Greenville area, handling new system installation and replacement, repairs when a unit quits or stops keeping up, and the seasonal maintenance that keeps equipment ready for an Upstate summer or a winter cold snap.

General Air Conditioning Service Corp. is a Greenville heating and cooling contractor, handling new system installation, repairs, and seasonal maintenance for homes and businesses across the area. Weekend and after-hours availability means a system that fails outside the normal workweek can still reach a local crew rather than waiting until Monday.

Wilson Gutters keeps to a single part of the home's exterior that many general contractors handle as a sideline: the gutters, downspouts, and drainage that route water off the roof and away from the foundation. Based in Simpsonville and working across the surrounding Upstate, it handles the kind of gutter work that heavy spring storms and long summer rains turn from a cosmetic detail into real protection for a home's roofline, siding, and landscaping.
