Brian Wagler and team built my house in 2021. I couldn’t be more pleased. The quality of the build is excellent, but what I appreciate most is dealing with someone who not only has years of experience, but is honest and fair. Brian made very helpful suggestions as we went along, based on his experience in the industry. He sent bills in a timely fashion and always took the time to explain any questions I had about charges. The team took the time to do things the RIGHT way instead of the easy way. In 5 years I have had zero problems with the workmanship. In fact, I have contracted with Brian to do two more projects since the initial build. I highly recommend Brian Wagler and his team!

Our Wagler Custom Home on Lake Keowee was completed in 2025. With the most basic plan/elevation views, Brian and his team were able to bring our vision to life. If you like working with people who you trust like family, are master craftsmen in every aspect while having your satisfaction ahead of all else, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Surprisingly affordable, cost and financial transparency during the process was an added benefit providing peace of mind since there were no hidden numbers.

I could not have chosen a better person to build our home… not only as a contractor, but as a team of great people. Their attention to detail and professionalism are exceptional. First class operation all around.

My wife Kris and I built our first home together on Lake Keowee. We chose Wagler Custom Homes and boy are we glad we did! We looked at a few other builders but Brian made us feel very comfortable and our interaction with him felt very authentic. It is hard to quite put it into words. Suffice it to say we actually enjoyed the building experience! Brian and his team were exceptional and did not disappoint our initial impression. We loved his flexibility with design changes and willingness to adapt. The team of skilled specialists he has assembled are true craftsman and both my wife and I were impressed with their attention to detail and finishing work. Our home is true custom work and it shows! Our design with its “wall of windows” which is 36 feet from ground to pitch presented some challenges! Brian’s team tackled them without difficulty and the end result was magnificent! Brian and his team, especially Keith, were always available and we had constant communication with them. We still maintain a connection with Brian, Keith and his vendors — they have become an extension of our family and are always available for post build help. They never left us hanging without support! We have heard horror stories about other builders from our neighbors. We just shake our heads and think to ourselves — “you should have gone with Brian Wagler!” I can say this with complete honestly… If you do not go with Brian and his team, you are rolling the dice and taking an unnecessary chance! If anyone is interested in viewing our home feel free to contact Brian to arrange. We are happy to show off his team’s fine workmanship! Kris and Dave Amin

We could not be more pleased with our experience building our home with Brian Wagler and his entire team. From our very first meeting to the day the last nail was driven, everyone was positive, professional, and genuinely committed to making the process a great experience. Brian’s honesty, integrity, and incredible attention to detail are truly hard to find. He uses reputable subcontractors and suppliers who work together as a team, and that made the entire building process run smoothly and virtually stress-free. What really sets Brian Wagler apart is his “can-do” attitude. He was always willing to listen to our ideas, customize things to our liking, and find a way to make our vision a reality. The end result is a quality home that we are extremely proud of. We would proudly and wholeheartedly recommend Wagler Custom Homes to anyone looking to build a home. Their reputation in the area is well deserved, and we are grateful for the wonderful experience and beautiful home Brian and his team created for us! Randy and Cathy Williams

Brian built us the most beautiful home with an amazing crew who were as “perfect” as could be for every aspect through the building process. His follow up is impeccable to ensure that we are happy with the home he built us and stands by his “product” 100%. Not many home owners can truly say they are happy with everything when they move in. We can honestly say that we can’t find one thing that we are not satisfied with! We highly recommend Brian and Wagler Custom Homes!!
