A Band of Brothers Brother building duo Greg and Jeff St. Pierre of St. Pierre Construction surpassed these homeowner’s expectations with a high quality custom home.
T
he St. Pierre brothers are Charleston boys through and through. Growing up in the Lowcountry, a passion for excellent customer service, and an understanding of the business led the brothers to venture out on their own with St. Pierre Construction nearly twenty years ago. What began as framing, siding, and trim projects for other builders eventually led to them contracting their own projects on a full-time basis.
For this particular project, Greg and Jeff were brought on by the architect Rachel Burton of Swallowtail Architec-
ture, and interior designer Amy Trowman of Amy Trowman Design. Luckily, the homeowner got the team together early on in the process, which Greg says is always best. When the homeowner decided to work with St. Pierre Construction, they did so because they knew they were getting a team with hands-on experience and a team who were on the job site regularly making sure everything was going smoothly. Working closely with Rachel, Amy, and the homeowner allowed the St. Pierre brothers to build a home that fits not only the owner’s needs, but also their style. Decorative
