Hurricane Builders

Hurricane Builders is a family-owned construction company in Columbia, South Carolina. Hurricane Builders was founded in 1993 and began building new homes in 2001. Despite the struggling real estate market, Hurricane Builders has continued to thrive in recent years. Since the company’s launch, it has gone from building an average of 15 homes a year to more than 250. In 2009, the homebuilding company experienced 30 percent growth when other businesses in the industry were struggling just to stay afloat. What is the secret to Hurricane Builders’ success? The builders refuse to settle for less than the best. Hurricane Builders’ motto is, “Why settle for less when you can settle for everything?” The company’s success suggests that this is their way of doing business and not just a slogan.

In an economic climate where everyone is tightening their belts, many businesses are trying to cut costs, a practice that can be disadvantageous to the consumer. Hurricane Builders believes in confronting market challenges head-on and to demonstrate this philosophy, the company offers attractive amenities as standard features in all of its new homes. In April 2010, the company announced that solid hardwood flooring, granite countertops, and the Smart Home System, all very desirable amenities, would be included as standard architectural features. Other features in Hurricane Builders’ homes, including insulated garage doors, automatic sprinkler systems, and tankless energy-efficient heaters, are designed to save home-buyers money in the long run and are kind to the environment as well.

Hurricane Builders is dedicated to providing quality service at every juncture of the home-buying process. In this spirit, the company offers a daily warranty concierge service, the only one of its kind in South Carolina. Every Hurricane Builders home comes with a 1-year builder’s warranty and a 2- to 10-year home buyer’s warranty is included with the purchase of a Hurricane Builders home. Moreover, as further testament to Hurricane Builders’ dedication to customer service, a warranty and customer service manager provides support for both.
