Our Signature Standards

All custom homes are not created equal. Each Dillard-Jones Builders house is as unique as those who live in them - built to order and to a higher standard sustainability.

A Better Design

Beginning with site selection and optimized house location, we manage all of the details for your individual needs and lifestyle. We design elevations and floor plans that enhance the natural beauty of and view from your lot, and maximize the livability of your home.

A Quieter Home

Silent floor systems, acoustic insulation, and quiet plumbing systems are just a few of the features that make a Dillard-Jones Builders custom home more sound, comfortable, and efficient.

A Stronger Home

All Dillard-Jones homes feature high-performance I-joists that are stronger pound for pound, straighter, and more reliable than traditional lumber. These superior I-joists also have reduced moisture content for floors with fewer pops and squeaks.

A Safer Home

All Dillard-Jones homes are pre-wired for security systems. We also design and install a variety of wired and wireless technologies for safety, comfort, and home entertainment. Tailored packages include home theaters, whole house audio, paging/front door intercom from any phone, irrigation control, and thermostat/lighting control.

A Low-Maintenance Home

Dillard-Jones Builders uses exteriors such natural stone, PastelCote™ Cote, integrated color stucco and James Hardie products for a virtually maintenance-free exterior. We also use slate and other high-performance materials for roofs that last 30 to 40 years.

An ENERGY STAR® Home

A Better Location

Located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains halfway between Atlanta and Charlotte on the I-85 corridor, the Upstate region of South Carolina combines a picturesque landscape with a variety of metropolitan conveniences. This Upcountry region of The Palmetto State is well suited to a variety of outdoor activities. There are outstanding lakes and rivers for boating, swimming and rafting, with numerous mountain trails and winding country roads awaiting hiking and biking enthusiasts. Golf is a favorite pastime with milder temperatures making it a virtual year-round sport. Championship golf courses designed by renowned architects and PGA pros such as Gary Player, Tom Jackson and Jack Nicklaus dot the Upstate landscape.

For those more suited to spectator sports, the Upstate boats an award-winning ballpark in downtown Greenville that is home to the Greenville Drive, the South Atlantic League's Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. And football fans enjoy competitive contests each Saturday during the fall at nearby Clemson University and Furman University.

For history buffs, the Upstate has an abundance of historic sites including those that played notable roles in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. The new Upcountry History Museum in downtown Greenville chronicles life in the Upstate from its beginnings as an agricultural community to the Textile Capital of the World to what is now considered a major hub for automotive manufacturing and research.
