About Reclamation By Design

Welcome to Reclamation By Design. We are a custom home builder located in Bluffton, South Carolina. If you're looking for new construction, or remodel an existing home or commercial environment, we'll work with you to figure out exactly what you need, every step of the way. Ron and Patricia Strimpfel have been building in the South Carolina Lowcountry since the early 1980s. Our goal is to provide our clients with a pleasant building experience, at a cost effective price. Ron is a master carpenter and builder with an extensive background and history in the construction business. Ron's days are spent on-site, with his talented team, building the structures that have given RBD the favorable reputation in the community. Pat oversees the day-to-day operations of the business and project management. Ron and Pat have developed an approach to the building experience that has impressed clients for decades.

As a boy, Ron loved nothing more than to shadow his father around lumberyards dreaming of the projects he could build. As a third-generation woodworker, combined with the organizational management skills of wife, Patricia, Ron has over the last 38 years carried on the family tradition with a passion possessed by few in the industry. Believing the quality of a man's work reflects the quality of his character; he has personally supervised each of his projects, fabricating much of the finish carpentry himself. His hands-on approach, attention to detail and dedication to the art of fine craftsmanship have earned him a place among the Lowcountry's premier custom home builders.

When building a new home, remodeling an existing home, creating a new commercial building, or creating a unique commercial up-fit, the team at Reclamation By Design has the knowledge, expertise and passion to provide you with the best building experience possible. We pride ourselves on our efficient and environmentally-friendly approach to home building. Whatever your imagination can conjure, we'll make it happen for you with greater ease and affordability.
