The Summerville Area's Premier Custom Modular Home Builder for Over 40 Years

Since 1985, Royal Homes Inc. has been helping families throughout the Greater Lowcountry experience the value, quality, and efficiency of modern system-built homes.


Owner Gene Richter, a licensed contractor, began building homes in the early 1980s during a difficult housing market when rising interest rates and industry changes pushed him to recognize that homeowners could get more for their money through system-built construction. After building more than 400 homes throughout lower Dorchester County, he founded Royal Homes in Summerville with a vision for smarter homebuilding backed by lasting craftsmanship.


Today, Royal Homes continues to use the same high-quality materials as traditional site-built construction while delivering homes that meet and exceed modern building standards. From purchasing land and preparing the site to setting the home and completing driveways, our team provides turnkey support throughout the entire building process with over 40 years of trusted hands-on experience.

  • What are the benefits of choosing a system-built modular home over a traditional site-built home?

    Choosing a system-built home offers several advantages, including enhanced structural integrity and significant cost-effectiveness. Our homes are constructed in controlled environments using high-quality materials, which protects the structure from weather-related delays and moisture damage during the initial build phase. Because our methods are highly efficient, we can offer more square footage and superior standard specifications for a better price than many traditional contractors. Furthermore, our homes are designed to meet the same strict building codes as conventional houses, ensuring they are safe, energy-efficient, and capable of long-term appreciation.

    Absolutely! We offer hundreds of floor plans and thousands of customization combinations to ensure your new home perfectly reflects your personal style and needs. You can personalize everything from the roof pitch and siding colors to kitchen cabinetry, countertops, and flooring.

Our team is here to guide you through every selection.

  • Does your team assist with site preparation and external improvements?

    Yes, we provide turn-key assistance that goes far beyond just setting the home on its foundation. We work closely with you through every stage of the process, including land clearing, driveway installation, and the setup of well water and septic systems. Additionally, we handle the construction of exterior features such as porches, decks, and garages to complete your property. Our goal is to make the entire experience as smooth and stress-free as possible by managing these essential tasks under one roof. We ensure every detail is handled with professional care and dependable service.

  • Do you offer any warranties or trade-in options for existing homes?

    We stand firmly behind our craftsmanship by offering a comprehensive 10-year warranty on our homes, providing you with long-term peace of mind. We also offer a unique program where you can use an existing mobile home as a down payment for your new construction, even if you still owe money on it. This makes transitioning into a high-quality, permanent home more accessible and affordable for many families in our community. Our commitment to honesty and value ensures that you receive the best possible return on your investment.
