The award winning Hammerhead Custom Builders name is at the forefront of the local custom home building industry in the South Carolina Lowcountry.With a meticulous eye for detail and a passion for helping people obtain their dreams, Hammerhead Custom Builders has become one of the most well respected builders in the area. The company’s reputation was created quite simply through quality craftsmanship and homeowner satisfaction.
With every project, Hammerhead Custom Builders continues to set the benchmark for excellence through detailed supervision and efficient management with a balance of innovative design, state-of-the-art technologies and unsurpassed craftsmanship. Every Hammerhead Custom Builders project – custom or speculative home, addition, remodel, or renovation – is built to stringent standards.
Jake Gartner, CEO and Owner of Hammerhead Custom Builders takes pride in his company and the fact that he personally spends most of his days out of the office “in the field” and “on-site”. He explains the Hammerhead Custom Builders business philosophy: “From design to final walk-through, we supervise every aspect of the building process, only use quality materials, and our sub-contractors are the best in the business. You can be confident that your new or renovated home will be built to the same standards of excellence as the homes on which we have built our reputation”.
Building custom homes – through new construction, renovations, and additions – is what we do. Dedicating ourselves to customer satisfaction – through careful planning, the use of high grade materials, and quality in execution – is how we do it. This talented team, with its roots firmly planted in the complex renovation field, tackles projects of all types and sizes. Hammerhead Custom Builders has a full complement of people working hand in hand to create a seamless outcome. No matter where you are in the process, it’s never too early – or too late – to call us.
It begins with our initial project evaluation, which will be thoughtful, detailed, and accurate. We don’t believe in providing clients with a best case “estimate.” It’s too important to get this right from the very start. We work hard to create a thorough, honest and comprehensive assessment of your project from the very beginning. By working transparently we help you avoid surprises.
When you hire Hammerhead Custom Builders you don’t have to cross your fingers and hope for the best. It’s going to be good. For years we’ve been steering projects big and small from inspiration to successful completion.
No matter where you are in the process we can help. Whether your vision is sketched on the back of a cocktail napkin, or you’ve already engaged an architect and are ready to build, we can help you put a smart plan in place, and we know how to implement it. When plans change, we know how to adapt. Our goal is always minimum disruption to you and your family. That’s why so many of our clients return, job after job, and invite us back into their homes.
We’re dedicated to complete transparency throughout the life of the project. You’ll always know where to turn with questions throughout the process. You can always reach me directly at 843-368-6624 or email me at jake@hammerheadbuilders.net. Thorough communication is not just our business philosophy, it’s who we are.
Jake is the best! Great quality work, always on time and dependable. Always willing to take after hour calls for emergencies – never hides behind the cell phone! Superb work and a pleasure to have on the property. We give him the highest recommendation possible and trust him 100%.

We used Jake for a Villa remodel in Sea Pines. While our job was not the largest, we felt like he was personally involved in the entire process. He communicated along the way and kept us informed of deadlines. Most importantly, when a problem came up, he took ownership and quickly worked to a resolution. It is hard to ask more than that. We would definitely recommend Jake to others.
We hired Jake and his team in early 2007 to build an approximately 950 square foot area above our garage. With Jake’s suggestions and design, we were able to fit 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large playroom, perfect for our numerous family guests with children.
We hoped that it could be completed before we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary on June 8, and Jake made sure that it was, after less than 2 months of working on it. It came out beautifully and we have shared our new rooms with many people who are amazed that so many nice sized rooms and baths could be designed and built for us.
Jake and his team did an outstanding job with credibility and enthusiasm, and hard work. They worked long days, evenings, and some weekend days to meet our request. We are confident that he would handle any project in a similar fashion combining quality construction with fiscal restraints.
We’ve worked with other builders on Hilton Head and never had the same feeling that our project was in such good hands as it was with Hammerhead
Dear Jake:
Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all you did during our reconstruction project. As an out of town owner, we are extremely concerned to find the right contractor that would treat our project as if it were their own. With you, we definitely felt that way. You were always timely in all communications, explained any changes that needed to happen, made sure we always knew what our options were, and the timeline was right on target. We could not have made a better decision than choosing Hammerhead !!
The end result is that we have a beautiful updated home that will bring us many years of enjoyment in Hilton Head, we greatly appreciated all of your efforts and would highly recommend you for any new construction or renovations. If we can help in any way, please let us know!
Thanks!
