Testimonials

"Without any reservations, my wife and I would recommend Tom Bridgeman and Brighton Builders to anyone considering building a custom home in the Myrtle Beach area. We interviewed several builders in the area prior to making a decision on which builder to hire. Tom rovided a detailed explanation of the services his company would provide during the home building process. Tom proved to be highly knowledgeable and provided great suggestions on things we should consider for our home. He provided many cost-saving tips that helped us control the budget while achieving a high-end look. He was very responsive when I had questions or concerns. He was helpful in suggesting choices on features and finishes to be used. He never failed to be reachable when I had a question. Even when I didn't make a call, Tom reached out to me with weekly calls for updates and information. My wife was entirely satisfied with the choices of items such as flooring, cabinets, fixtures, counters, lights, and finishes.
We could not have been happier with our decision to let Tom Bridgeman and Brighton Builders build our home. The company provides comprehensive services that allows customers to move from design to a completed home at a single location. The level of professionalism, while still being personable, found in Tom is unmatched by other builders. My wife and I are happy to recommend Tom and his team for the construction of your dream home."

"I would highly recommend Tom and his crew at Brighton Construction. My wife, Melissa, and I used him to build our new custom home in Waterway Palms. From the beginning, Tom, and his foreman, Larry Barnes, were honest, upfront and always responsive throughout the entire process to any concerns/questions I had. He is also a true Custom Home builder. While other contractors will claim to be "custom" builders, I can attest that Brighton is as I changed my specs and finishes during the build, and some by recommendations and input from Larry. If you don't believe me, you can come take a look at my house. They built a beautiful custom home! Since this was my first new build, Tom took the time to explain all of the specs to me in writing, and was upfront about how the process would not always go as smooth as I "expected" but assured me that he would do everything he could to correct any issues to my satisfaction (and he did and kept his word). Even though I do have pending items on my punch list (which you will have with any new build), Tom has been right on top of them and trust he will do everything he can to fix the issues. Thank you Tom, Larry, Bobby and the entire Brighton family for being true professionals!!!"

"Literally the best, kindest, most honest people I've had the pleasure of working with. Tom and Larry are amazing. We chose Tom because he kept his word time and time again. He called us back right away, called when he said he would, and alway followed through. The attention to detail and craftsmanship are unbelievable. Things we didn't think about, or ask for, appeared everytime we would get home from work & check the house progress. We would look at each other and high 5 out of excitement. � We cannot say enough about Brighton construction! We looked for a builder and found 2 friends!"

"Without any reservations, my wife and I would recommend Tom Bridgeman and Brighton Builders to anyone considering building a custom home in the Myrtle Beach area. We interviewed several builders in the area prior to making a decision on which builder to hire. After having two other custom homes built in the past, we had a fairly strong idea of what we were looking for in our beach home builder. Tom checked off a lot of boxes on my checklist. He provided a detailed explanation of the services his company would provide during the home building process. He included the types of materials he would be using, a detailed schedule of the stages of the construction process starting with the permitting process and ending with the completed home, and a comprehensive spreadsheet to show the task completion process and the charges associated with each stage. He even shared that while we could expect bumps in the process, it was going to be his job to smooth them out.
During the construction of our home, we experienced a major bump. As the roof trusses were being installed, a crane fell crushing our fully framed home. Tom was true to his word on smoothing out the bumps. He handled every aspect of the clean up and re-framing our home. It costs us no additional money, Tom dealt with the headaches, and we still received the keys to a beautiful and well built home. As with any new construction, there was a percentage of scratches and bumps. Tom handled all the items on our punch list like a pro.
Tom proved to be highly knowledgeable and provided great suggestions on things we should consider for our home. He provided many cost saving tips that helped us control the budget while achieving a high end look. He was very responsive when I had questions, concerns, or was making choices on features and finishes to be used. He never failed to be reachable when I had a question. Even when I didn't make a call, Tom reached out to me with weekly calls for updates and information. My wife was entirely satisfied with the choices of items such as flooring, cabinets, fixtures, counters, lights, and finishes. Tom has a "samples showroom" in his home that offers better choices than the big box stores.
While we were interviewing builders, we stated that we were planning to use builder grade finishes in our home, such as carpet floors, laminate, and price conscious fixtures. We were planning to keep the cost low. When we talked to Tom we shared the same information. Tom showed us that he could compete with the other builders in price while providing much better quality. He was more than right. He built us a house with premium fixtures and finishes for several thousand dollars less than the closest competitor that priced builder grade materials.
We could not have been happier with our decision to let Tom Bridgeman and Brighton Builders build our home. The company provides comprehensive services that allows customers to move from design to a completed home at a single location. The level of professionalism, while still being personable, found in Tom is unmatched by other builders. For the reasons listed above and many others, my wife and I are happy to recommend Tom and his team for the construction of your dream home."
