Riptide began building luxury custom homes in South Brunswick County and Horry County, South Carolina in 2006. Starting out as a pure custom home builder, we focused on giving the customer everything that they wanted in a new home. Fast forward 9 years and Riptide brings that same custom build experience--first-class materials and design, outstanding finish detail, standard luxury features, and a commitment to deliver custom home quality at a production home price.
Since our company's inception, we have built our reputation by offering true value to our clients. Riptide Builders team of hands-on professionals pride themselves in their work and build each home as if they were building it for themselves. We are well-positioned to continue delivering outstanding quality and value for years to come.
Riptide Builders has developed a unique niche of building fully customized homes with custom finish and construction at a price that you’d expect to pay for a basic new home which lacks luxury and upgraded features. We think, design and build every home like its a custom and the end result shows.
Riptide Builders' talented and dedicated professionals have set a standard for quality and customer satisfaction that is unparalleled in the home building industry. By using only quality materials and the latest construction techniques, Riptide Builders' superior approach to construction has earned industry-wide respect, as well as an extraordinarily high referral rate from our satisfied customers.
We thank you for your interest and we hope you choose to be a part of the Riptide Builders Family.

This will be answered when you ask if all employees are licensed. The only way to obtain a legitimate tradesman's license is to be a legal or naturalized citizen of the US. The company may employ people in positions that don't require a license, however, so it's wise to inquire.
These first two questions should only relate to services or good purchased directly from the service provider. Many products carry their own warranties, like roofing shingles or siding. It's useful to know what these warranties cover as well as how long they last. The "warranty agent" question is important, because often warranty agents work with the manufacturer to get you repairs under warranty at a much lower price.
You'll always want to ask how long the company has been in business in Sunset Beach. While this isn't a guarantee that the company will do good work, companies with longevity on their side must be doing something right. That being said, there are newer companies that do great work. If the company is under three years old, ask where the owner was employed before and for how long. If he/she has a long history of employment, it's reasonable to infer that he or she decided to go into business for themselves after so many years of experience.
This really only matters if you have a preference, but it is good to ask. If you have a strong ideological belief about unions or nonunions, it's perfectly acceptable to make a decision based on the preference.
The question is great for some industries and non-applicable for others. A general contractor, for example, will by definition employ subcontractors. Most Sunset Beach Custom Homes companies do not, but there are exceptions. You should always ask this question to your service providers. If they do use subcontractors, ask if they're all licensed and insured independently.
