Riggs Custom Builders

We have a passion for completing each project on schedule and on budget while making the entire process as enjoyable as possible. Every project is treated as a top priority and every client is treated like a member of our family.

OUR COMPANY

Jacob Riggs started Riggs Custom Builders 17 years ago. It was a “one man show” with Jacob working all the jobs on his own. From those humble beginnings Riggs Custom Builders has grown into a premier home builder and renovation company. Remodels, additions, restorations, and repair work require a wide range of skills that can only be developed through experience. Jacob and the team he has brought together are dedicated to bringing these skills to your project and providing a construction experience that is second-to-none.

From initial consultation to completed project, you will find our skilled, passionate, dedicated team providing quality service and producing a finished product you will be thrilled to call “home”.

JACOB RIGGS – FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT

Jacob Riggs, the company’s founder, started working for a local grading company 17 years ago. Right away he began to develop a passion for the construction industry. After two years, he took a position with a custom builder in Greenville. Over the next few years, Jacob’s experiences with this builder allowed him to hone his skills and made him aware that few things bring him greater joy than watching a project grow from concept to reality. This motivated him to earn a Bachelors Degree in construction management and he began doing some small projects on his own. Shortly after graduation, Jacob got married.

He and his wife Alaina then decided to spend a summer in Alaska helping a friend build a house. As the project and an Alaskan summer came to a close, Jacob and Alaina felt led to move to Cleveland, GA to help at a Christian camp and retreat center called “Woodlands”. For the next two years, Jacob was instrumental in building over 20,000 square feet of cabins and in helping to complete several other vital projects. Once the work was completed, Jacob, Alaina, and their first son, moved back home to Greenville, SC to officially start Riggs Custom Builders. The company has grown a lot since then, but Jacob is still personally involved with the details of every project. Jacob’s dedication to quality and to finding the best solutions for our clients, has allowed him to develop the skills and the team necessary to become one of the most respected custom builders in the upstate.

When not at work, Jacob enjoys spending time with his family, working with his church in several ministries, and enjoys many outdoor activities.
