Josh Timms Builders was founded in 2015 out of a desire to raise the bar in custom homebuilding. With nearly three decades of construction experience, Josh began as an apprentice in his father's drywall business, learning the importance of craftsmanship from an early age.

Over the years, he expanded into framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, spending 15 years in the field as a tradesman before stepping into leadership roles. After managing residential projects across the Upstate, Josh launched his own company with a vision: build homes with better materials, higher standards, and a level of care that truly lasts. Today, that same commitment drives every project we take on.
