Inquire About Your ProjectConway projects file through Horry County Building Services or the city of Conway depending on jurisdiction. We know the permitting paths, the local inspectors, and the specific requirements that affect timelines on the inland side of the county.
Significant portions of Conway fall within FEMA flood zones along the Waccamaw River, Kingston Lake, and Crabtree Swamp. We verify zone designation early and design foundations to meet or exceed Base Flood Elevation requirements.
Conway covers two distinct construction realities: new homes in the rapidly growing Carolina Forest and CCU corridor, and renovations to historic and mid-century homes near downtown and the river. We handle both with the right specifications for each.
Conway covers two construction realities: new homes in the fast-growing Carolina Forest and CCU corridor, and renovations to historic and mid-century homes near downtown and the Waccamaw River. We handle both — the detail that drives cost, foundation, permitting, and timeline is below.
Conway projects file through Horry County Building Services or the City of Conway depending on whether the lot sits inside city limits. The two paths carry different fee structures, inspection schedules, and code-amendment timelines. We confirm jurisdiction at the start of every project and manage the correct path from scope through final inspection.
Inland Conway custom home construction typically runs $185 to $325+ per square foot, depending on lot conditions, finish level, and whether the site is in a flood zone. Standard mainland builds in the Carolina Forest and CCU corridor fall toward the lower end; riverfront lots requiring elevated foundations and higher-end custom finishes run toward the top. See our full custom home cost guide.
Significant portions of Conway fall within FEMA flood zones along the Waccamaw River, Kingston Lake, and Crabtree Swamp, while much of the inland growth corridor sits outside the floodplain. We verify zone designation early: lots outside the floodplain commonly use slab-on-grade or crawlspace foundations, while river- and swamp-adjacent lots require foundations designed to meet or exceed Base Flood Elevation. See our FEMA flood zones guide.
We use a cost-plus fixed-fee model for custom home construction. Material and labor costs pass through at actual invoice with our fee defined upfront, which gives you full visibility into where every dollar lands and keeps the unknowns in custom work surfaced rather than buried in a markup.

Dan Renne
"We recently had our bathroom completely remodeled by Baldwin Builders, and they did an absolutely amazing job! From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the entire team was professional, communicative, and attentive to every detail. They stayed on schedule, kept the worksite clean every day, and minimized disruptions to our home. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Baldwin Builders!!"
Tina Gibbins
"We were referred to Baldwin Builders by a friend and are so pleased. Our newly purchased vacation condo needed to be completely painted, bedroom flooring replaced to match existing, a new kitchen fixture and desk area built. The tricky part was coordinating this while living 3 states away. George walked the property, gave great suggestions and had a proposal to us in a few days. There was a lot of coordination needed to gather materials but he didn’t miss a beat and took it all in stride. His communication with calls and photos and his responsiveness was fantastic. They matched the existing flooring perfectly and made my workspace vision come to fruition. If you want quality work done, call Baldwin Builders. You won’t be disappointed."
Bill Baker
"We recently purchased an older home in SC knowing some work would be required before leaving our home state. We turned to our many long-term acquaintances in the area for contractor recommendations. Repeatedly, Baldwin Builders came up on the top of every list. We engaged them to oversee our major HVAC renovation project after they provided the most competitive price of all bids. Baldwin Builders was sensitive to our absence during the project and contacted us almost daily with project status and solutions to any unforeseen challenges. Just before our return to SC, we were notified they completed the final inspection of the project and the subcontractor was returning that day to rectify one minor punch item. I would characterize Baldwin Builders as a company of uncompromising integrity and pro-active communicators who provide professional oversight of projects. We will use them for ALL our planned project here in SC!"
Phillip Wisdom
"Baldwin Builders recently remodeled our bathrooms, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, their team was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. They helped us choose modern fixtures, updated the flooring, and improved the overall layout to make the space more functional. The crew was punctual, kept the work area tidy, and made sure to minimize any disruption to our daily routine. The transformation is incredible—our bathrooms now feel like a high-end spa. Highly recommend Baldwin Builders for any remodeling needs!"
Vincent Padavano
"I have nothing but great things to say about Baldwin Builders. I had a guest bathroom remodel done by them and it turned out amazing. They paid attention to detail, cleanliness and finished the job within a short/appropriate amount of time. I would definitely recommend this young, professional, up-incoming business to anyone for home repair/updating needs."
Thomas Veith
"I hired Baldwin Builders to do a full renovation on my beach vacation rental and have nothing but great things to say about them. At first I was hesitant to hire a younger team, but their experience and dedication has been proven through the quality of their work. Their head sales guy, George, was with me through the entire project displaying perfect communication and was someone I could count on answering the phone anytime I had a question. He went above and beyond to hold everyone accountable and shared my vision as if it was his own. One last thing I thought was special was Larson, the owner, delivered my estimate and acted in my best interest throughout the entire project displaying honesty and transparency. Nice to see a young squad so eager and determined to leave an impact and I will definitely be calling them for my next build!"
James Moye
"George is extremely accommodating & professional. Great communication! Also met with his brother Larson. Nice guy & it’s very impressive they created such an excellent business together. I needed a sub floor from recent demo go bad & they got on it & handled so quick. I’m continuing my relationship with these 2 brothers & crew. More to come…"
Thomas Neat
"I don’t know where to begin explaining how happy I am with my sunroom. It was a screened porch and I said I wanted a room to use all year round with a view of the pond behind me. Beyond my expectations. George, Larson, and crew worked fast, kept me up to date, treated my family and even my pets with respect. I will not hesitate to call them if I have another project."
Andrew Zaloom
"I could not be happier with the quality and service that both Larson and George provided. From the initial consultation to delivery, they were thorough, honest, and attentive. Within a few days, they were able to do an extensive door replacement and structural repair. I own several rental properties in the area and this was the first group I’ve worked with that did not over promise and under deliver. I could not recommend them enough. Thank you Larson, George, and Baldwin Builders. "
Gina Thomas
"After building a new house and being left without shower doors for our walk in luxury tile shower it was a major burden . We researched and looked for a couple of weeks to find a builder to install shower doors and Baldwin Builders came in showed us our options for our price range and was prompt in delivering what we decided on . Larson is extremely efficient and knowledgeable. The installation was easy and perfection. We will be calling Baldwin Builders from now throughout the future for all of our projects no matter how big or small they are our "go to". If you are looking for a contractor who cares and is professional , Baldwin Builders is your company ."
Ed Cristina
"Hired Baldwin Builders last minute to build a staircase for my porch. We needed it done quickly. I gave them pictures on a Friday and it was DONE Monday!! AND it was absolutely perfect; exactly what we wanted and hundreds less than the other 2 companies we called. Ask for George or Larson: both were great!!"
