At Dillard-Jones Builders, we combine proven products with individual
designs to create a custom built home that is healthy, sustainable and
distinctive. Our low maintenance exteriors, sustainable roofs, and
engineered basements are just a few of the standard features that allow
you to spend time enjoying your home rather than servicing it.
A Better Design
Beginning with site selection and optimized house location, we design
elevations and floor plans that enhance the natural beauty of your
property, the view from your lot, and the livability of your home. From
family friendly design to custom luxury homes, we manage all of the
details for your individual needs and lifestyle.
Another example of our eye for detail is an initial walk-through
with each customer to place lighting fixtures and controls, and
electrical outlets to fit individual needs and lifestyles.
A Better Building Experience
At Dillard-Jones Builders, we believe the building process should be as
enjoyable as the finished product. Susan Peace-Vernon, our full-time
customer advocate, is part of our commitment to customer care and to
exceeding customer expectations every time. A professionally trained interior designer, Susan hails
from a homebuilding family, which gives her a working knowledge of the
critical relationship between construction engineering, space planning
and interior design. Susan serves as your daily communications link to
suppliers and specialty contractors, and always is available to
assist with color and style selections, budgeting and quality control.
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.

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 boasts 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. Football fans can enjoy competitive contests on
Saturdays during the fall at nearby Clemson and Furman Universities,
and during the spring at the BI-LO Center in downtown Greenville
watching the Greenville Force, the city's arena football team.
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.
