“Our experience with Meritus was excellent. They are professional in every aspect of their business, communicate well and pay attention to every detail. We would highly recommend them to anyone.” Jim and Ruth Bolding The Cliffs / Keowee Falls South Salem, South Carolina
jj The Collection is for those seeking a quality-built home with eye-catching curb appeal. The elegant interiors promote refined casual living. The concept of each plan allows for main level living with open spaces and first floor master suites. Whether you’re an empty nester, retiree or a growing family, there is a plan to suit everyone’s needs and tastes. Many will use this new home as a seasonal retreat, and others will enjoy it for year-round living. Each plan maximizes every square foot, ranging from 2500 to 3000 heated square feet and offering 3, 4 or 5 bedroom combinations. All plans allow for flexible room use, ample storage space, screened porches and decks, and oversized garages. jj The Collection will adapt to the most exclusive environments and gated communities. The exterior design details, materials and colors are planned to change to accommodate each client’s unique needs and desires. Rooms may be added, and plans may be adapted for individual lot topography.
“I met with several builders before deciding on Meritus Homes to build my home. I had made the perfect choice. Attention to detail is what I love about them. When it was time to move in, my house was perfect and still is today. They are easy to work with. The end result is quality craftsmanship which we will enjoy for many years to come. Thank You!” Val Wead Broker Associates Kesler & Associates Real Estate Greenville, SC
“As developers we’ve been affiliated with Meritus for the past ten years. We have found them to be conscientious, trustworthy builders. They have built 29 homes for us and have always done a superb job. We highly recommend Andy, Jeff and their crew.” Bill and Susan Reece Owner/Developer—The Crossing Seneca, South Carolina
The Collection Partners jj Chris Shockley of Shockley Designs was chosen by Meritus to design The Collection. Chris obtained his architectural design degree from Clemson University in 1998. He has designed custom homes for families in the lake and golf communities since 2000, particularly in the Lake Keowee area. jj ID Studio Interiors of Greenville was selected to coordinate the exterior color palates as well as assist clients with coordinating their interior finishes. ID Studio has been creating distinctive homes across the Southeast since 2002. From a rustic mountain retreat to a modern downtown loft, they pride themselves on their diverse portfolio.
The Ease of Building… It ’s Turnkey jj Meritus has created The Collection plans for the many who do not wish to go through the timeconsuming process of assembling the professional team needed to build your dream home.
