A Rich History with a
Family Tradition of Quality
“Tuscarora Jack” defended the colonies and started a building tradition for the Patterson family that continues more than 285 years later. Charlotte Barnwell Brown, a descendant of “Tuscarora Jack,” married Joseph Allen Patterson, Jr., at the time, the youngest graduate in the history of Clemson. In the early 1900s, he founded J. Allen Patterson Construction Company. His company’s accomplishments include lying the first underwater power cable to Parris Island and installing the first heating and air conditioning system in Beaufort County.
Joseph Allen “Skeet” Patterson, III joined his father’s business in the 1950s. Skeet and Mary Patterson had five children. Three of those children, Allen, Steve, and Merritt, are builders in Beaufort. Russell is an attorney in Hilton Head, and Sandra, deceased in 2010, was a registered nurse.
Allen Patterson grew up helping his grandfather, Joe Allen, by digging ditches, cleaning up construction sites, and carrying tools. As a teenager, Allen worked with his father, “Skeet,” at Patterson Construction.
Allen attended the College of Charleston, where he earned a BS degree in Chemistry. After working as vice president of Patterson Construction with his twin brother, Steve, for a number of years, Allen decided it was time to build his own construction company, specializing in high-quality custom homes. Allen founded Allen Patterson Residential in 2004 (now Allen Patterson Builders).
At Allen Patterson Builders, we pride ourselves on our quality workmanship. Our mission is to build quality custom homes at an affordable price. The moment you step through your front door, Allen Patterson Builders wants you to feel you have come home.
