The Gabriel Builders Story


Decades have come and gone since Gus and Belinda Rubio founded Gabriel Builders (named after their oldest son) in 1984. But while times have changed, the commitment to quality and relationships that the company was founded on has remained steadfast. We limit the number of projects we take on, so we can ensure regular inspections by our site and construction managers to fulfill our brand promise of exceptional quality and high standards.

Having been around for the last 40 years, we have cultivated a vast portfolio. There have been ups, and there have been downs, but we have been undoubtedly blessed through each season. Our clientele includes over 50 company presidents and CEOs, amongst professional athletes and politicians. While each home is unique to the client, our process remains the same.

Gabriel Builders is a Certified Master Builder, driven by the fulfillment that comes from crafting homes with character, excellence, and individuality. We’re thrilled to see our clients enjoy the fruits of their vision. We’ve always prioritized relationships and the experience of home building, and it shows in what our clients say about working with us.

A Handcrafted Experience

Homebuilding isn’t just a business to us. We are passionate about our craft. Each home we design and build receives extraordinary care. And our attention to detail extends to our artfully conceived client experience.

Gus and Belinda Rubio established Gabriel Builders in 1984 with a vision for a business that would be known for impeccable craftsmanship and lasting relationships. Gus Rubio began his career as a quality control manager at a Fortune 100 company and has since become a true innovator in the building industry. He has played a crucial role in implementing quality control and customer service programs that have garnered numerous national and state awards for Gabriel Builders. These accolades include the National Custom Home Builder of the Year Award from the National Association of Home Builders, the Ocean Magazine Builder of the Year Award, which recognizes the top home builder in the United States, and numerous Pinnacle Awards, which Gabriel Builders has won every year since 2008. The Pinnacle Awards are presented by the Home Builders Association of South Carolina and honor the craftsmanship of the finest home builders in the Palmetto State.

Gabriel Builders is a company with true family values. Their two sons, Gabe (the company’s namesake) and Nick, are highly involved in the company, as VP of Construction and Quality Control, and Project Manager, respectively. They are both being mentored to helm the business one day.

Patty and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the extraordinary job Gabriel Builders did in creating our new home. If anyone had told me that we could have built a home from over 600 miles away with only three trips to the job site and have it turn out just as we envisioned with no worry or stress during the process, I would have said, ‘Impossible!’ But you and your team of professionals did just that.
