We hired Doug Coghlan and the Hillcrest Homes team to build our dream home on Lake Keowee. Building a new home is challenging enough, but we built our home in South Carolina while living in Northern Ohio. Our architectural drawings were completed by a third party. Several times, items on the drawing details were determined to be erroneous and had to be changed or modified during construction. Doug and his experienced team did a great job of interpreting and adapting the changes to bring our lake house to life. Doug and his team were very responsive and available whenever we visited or called to answer questions, provide advice and keep us updated on progress. Doug, Thomas and the entire team were very dependable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. They were focused on the details and ensured all the work was done to the highest quality standards. We are very satisfied with the finished product and know that Doug stands behind his high-quality reputation. We would highly recommend Doug Coghlan and Hillcrest Homes of Keowee to anyone looking to build a quality custom home in upstate western South Carolina.

We hired Doug and Hillcrest to build our new house and had a very good experience. We love our home and were very happy to find Doug to be upfront and honest about everything. Building a custom home is a complex process and we were warned by everyone to expect cost overruns and delays. We had neither and are very pleased that Hillcrest delivered our home on time and on budget!

Hillcrest Homes built our lake house on Keowee. The process was collaborative, customer-focused, on budget and timely. Doug is very customer focused and will always make decisions with the customer in mind. Many outside people like inspectors and contractors commented on the clean job site and the quality of construction. Mike, our foreman was outstanding and a pleasure to work with.

Doug Coghlan and his team did a spectacular job on remodeling and completing our home, as well as, an outdoor kitchen and outdoor living area. I totally trust his judgement in color, design, creativity, and anything pertaining to building. I would highly recommend him to anyone. he deserves more than five stars, definitely a pro.

My wife and I hired Doug Coghlan and Hillcrest Homes in November of 2013 to build our home in Salem, South Carolina. We completed our home in December of 2014. Doug is a first class builder and was great to work with during this project. Living in Pittsburgh, building for the first time ever and doing this project from a distance was not always the easiest or most efficient for us or him, however, Doug and his very personal style was able to get us through the project to ultimately get what we think is a beautiful dream home. Since we had a design/drawings done by another party, he was able to take that, get to know us along the way and then added many additional great ideas throughout the build process. He was also very flexible to accommodate and make sure we incorporated our own personal taste versus a generic interpretation of the design. Like most build projects, we chose to exceed budget in certain areas, however, he guided us to make the decisions that would make most impact in key areas, versus just someone trying to upsell at every corner. Overall, we started with a builder and at the end, ended with a great and quality built home as well as a great friendship. I highly recommend Doug and Hillcrest to anyone looking to build in our area.

I would have no reservations hiring Doug & Hillcrest Homes to work for us again. He and his employees completed work in a timely manner to our satisfaction. He was easy to communicate with and offered valuable suggestions. We live 15 hours away, so we had to hire someone we could trust. Through our email, phone and original face to face conversations, he was very confident he could deliver and he did. They did a variety of work for us, sealing our crawl space, painting, building a firepit and some light construction, etc. We would highly recommend.

Hillcrest was asked to come up with a design for installing stairs in our garage so we could gain access to the attic area. With some input from us, they designed a good option that did not interfere with the 2 cars. Their staff completed the job in about 4 days and stayed on budget - there were no surprises at the end. The staff was professional and showed up at the time agreed upon. They did a good job cleaning up before they left. We are very happy with the results and would use them again for other possible projects.

Doug and his team at Hillcrest Homes completed construction on our home this year. Doug believes in quality construction and yet stays on top of trends in the home and products market to give the customer a well planned and executed project that will last. Our home was well constructed and perfectly placed on our lot to capture breathtaking panoramic views of mountains and lake. Doug is very creative and passionate about building a dream home for his clients and has a very professional and knowledgeable team to complete a project in a timely manner.
