Sun City Hilton Head homes are beautifully built, but many now have original kitchens and bathrooms that are a decade or two old. Dated cabinets, step-over tubs that have become a hazard, tile grout that never comes clean. If that’s your home, you have more options than you might think, and they don’t all mean weeks of construction.
Bluffton Builders is based right here in Bluffton, minutes from Sun City’s gates. We hold a yearly community access pass, so we come and go without you calling the gate for every visit, and we have real experience working within the Sun City ARB and its architectural guidelines. You get a local, licensed South Carolina builder who knows these homes and this community.
Best of all, we offer two clear paths to your new space, and we’ll tell you honestly which one fits your project. Built With Integrity, on every Sun City job.
Same premium materials either way. The difference is how far we take the design, and how much changes.
For when you want to change the space itself, new layouts, moved walls, a completely reimagined room. It starts with an on-site consultation where we provide your design agreement value right there. From there we design your dream space with you step by step: cabinet and bath elevations, renderings, and full construction documents. Then we walk the project with our trusted, vetted subcontractor team so we can hand you a down-to-the-penny quote, not a rough guess.
Because it’s custom, we can design beyond our in-house product lines to source exactly what your project calls for.
Perfect when your layout works and you simply want new materials, fresh cabinets, surfaces, fixtures, and finishes without moving plumbing or walls. We design everything with you during your consultation, hand you the same down-to-the-penny written quote, and give you all the information you need to make a confident, informed decision.
You get the same premium in-house product offerings we’re known for, delivered on a faster, cleaner timeline.
The best part: you get the same quality material offerings in both. Custom simply unlocks the ability to work beyond our in-house lines when your project calls for it.
We offer financing on both custom and express projects, including 12 months same-as-cash with deferred interest for qualified homeowners. Beautiful now, comfortable on the budget.

Yes. We hold yearly Sun City access passes, so we won’t have to make you call the gate every time we come to your home. It’s one less thing for you to manage during your project.
Yes, extensive experience, from additions to kitchens and baths. We know the Sun City Architectural Review Board (ARB) process and work within the community’s ARB guidelines, so your project moves smoothly from approval to completion.
It depends on the project type. For our custom projects, we use the same tight, trusted subcontractor team we’ve always used, it has taken us years to find the right people and build relationships with crews who represent Bluffton Builders in your home the same way we do internally. Using vetted subcontractors rather than in-house labor for custom work is simply a business-model choice that lets us work flexibly with the best trades and vendors for each unique project. For our express kitchen and bath remodels, we use our own in-house labor.
No. We install 100% virgin acrylic shower systems from BathWraps by Jacuzzi, and we love them. They’re non-porous, easy to clean, safe, beautiful, and affordable, with no grout lines to scrub or re-seal. We’re proud to be an authorized direct dealer and certified installer, and these systems carry a limited lifetime warranty, meaning your materials and our workmanship are warrantied for as long as you own your home.
We’re an authorized Fabuwood cabinetry dealer, and we love them. Fabuwood cabinets are remarkably versatile, we’ve installed them everywhere from small condo remodels to prestigious Palmetto Bluff kitchens. They feature dovetail joinery, soft-close doors and drawers, and genuinely solid construction, backed by a limited lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship for as long as you own your home.
Accessibility is one of the most valuable things we do, and we approach it honestly. A bathroom that meets full ADA standards is achievable, but true ADA compliance involves detailed planning around clearances, fixture heights, turning radius, and more, and it isn’t right for every home or layout. What we focus on is making your space as accessible and safe as possible for how you live, and getting you as close to an ADA level as your home allows. That includes wider door openings, low- or zero-threshold shower entries, grab bars, built-in seating, comfort-height fixtures, and cabinet accessibility. At your free consultation, we’ll walk your space and design the most accessible bathroom your home can support.
A custom remodel is for when you want to change the space itself, new layouts, moved walls, relocated plumbing, complete redesigns, with full elevations, renderings, and construction documents. An express remodel is for when your layout already works and you simply want new materials: cabinets, surfaces, fixtures, and finishes updated without moving walls or plumbing. Both include a detailed design consultation and a firm, down-to-the-penny written quote. The materials are the same premium quality either way, custom just lets us source beyond our in-house lines when a project calls for it.
It depends on the scope and the path you choose. Express remodels that keep your existing layout are typically more affordable than full custom renovations. Rather than guess, we give you an exact, written price after a free in-home consultation, and we offer financing, including 12 months same-as-cash with deferred interest for qualified homeowners, so you can move forward comfortably.
Yes, on both custom and express projects. Qualified homeowners can take advantage of 12 months same-as-cash with deferred interest. We’ll go over the options with you so the numbers feel as good as the finished room.
It varies by path. Many bath and shower conversions are completed in as little as a day, and express kitchen and bath refreshes move faster than full custom builds because the layout stays the same. Custom projects take longer because of the design and construction involved. You’ll get a realistic timeline in writing before any work begins.
