Just like the homes we build, our company itself was founded on relationships. After working together for years on building projects across the Upstate of South Carolina, our founding partners, Andy Atkins and Jeff Viney each expressed a desire to start a unique kind of building company. One that not only placed the highest priority on each client's complete satisfaction, but also looked at each new home as the beginning of a lasting relationship. As a result, the two joined forces in 2005 to form Meritus Signature Homes, one of the most trusted home builders in Seneca, Anderson, Greenville, Lake Keowee and the surrounding Upstate area.  There are numerous home builders who pride themselves in the number of homes built. But as a premier custom home builder in South Carolina, we hold each home to be immensely special and valuable.
