Custom Home Builder in Lexington, SC

On many projects, the homeowner ends up coordinating between a designer, a framer, a roofer, a window supplier, and finish contractors. When something goes wrong between those parties, it can be hard to know who is responsible. As a single builder handling site work coordination, structure, roofing, exterior, mechanical trades, and interior finishes, Exterior Genie keeps one line of accountability from the first meeting to the final walkthrough.

Because roofing and exterior envelopes are a core part of our work, we pay particular attention to the parts of a new home that keep water out: roof systems, flashing, window installation, and the weather-resistive barrier.

Good custom homes start with the lot. Setbacks, slope, drainage, soil conditions, utility access, and septic or sewer availability all influence the footprint and foundation. We review the site and your plans together, or help you work with a designer to develop plans that fit your budget and lifestyle.

Once plans are set, we handle permit applications and coordinate the required inspections throughout construction. A clear written scope and selection schedule help you know which decisions are needed and when, so materials can be ordered without holding up the job.

The foundation, whether slab, crawl space, or another approach suited to the site, is laid out and built to the plans. Framing follows, with attention to wind resistance and proper load paths. The roof, windows, exterior doors, and weather barrier are then installed to dry in the structure.

As an IBHS FORTIFIED Roofer, we can discuss building the roof to the FORTIFIED standard during new construction, when those details are easiest to incorporate.

Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins are coordinated and inspected before insulation and drywall. Cabinets, countertops, flooring, tile, trim, paint, fixtures, and exterior finishes follow in a planned sequence.

Labor is covered by our 5-year labor warranty on non-roofing work, and installed products carry manufacturer warranties. We walk the finished home with you and resolve punch-list items before closeout.

A custom home involves selections for nearly every surface: roofing, siding, windows, doors, cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, plumbing fixtures, lighting, paint, and hardware. We provide a selection schedule tied to the construction sequence, so you know which choices are needed early because they affect framing or ordering, and which can wait until later.

Changes are a normal part of building, but they affect cost and sequencing. We document change requests in writing before work proceeds, so the scope stays clear for you and for every trade on site.

Throughout construction you have one point of contact at Exterior Genie for questions, site visits, and updates, rather than tracking down separate contractors for each part of the house.

Heat, humidity, heavy rain, and tropical storm winds all shape how a home in the Midlands should be built. Proper roof-to-wall connections, a well-detailed weather barrier, correctly flashed windows, and attic ventilation suited to the roof design all help a new home perform. These are areas where our roofing and exterior background directly informs how we build.
