Three generations of family ownership stand behind this Charleston builder, led by Michael Rooke, with more than 40 years rooted in James Island and the surrounding area, including Johns Island and Summerville. Clients can pursue a fully custom home or choose semi-custom floor plans that adapt to their needs at a lower price point. The process runs from early ideas through design selections to the final walkthrough. A budget and timeline are agreed together and formalized in a contract, and the site explains how change orders are handled in writing.
