about us

Scott Howard was raised in Virginia Beach and Williamsburg, Virginia where he spent his summers swimming, boating, and fishing. His love of the coast led him to attend college at UNCW where he graduated with a degree in computer science.

After some post graduate work in Florida, Scott returned to Wilmington knowing that he wanted to fulfill his lifelong dream of building custom homes in a coastal town.

For 3 1/2 years, he oversaw renovations and new construction projects for one of the area's most respected builders. Scott realized his dream by forming his own company and building custom homes by the sea.

Above Grade Builders has just celebrated its third anniversary and the business is thriving in spite of the current economic conditions. We have taken the approch that no job is too small and have managed to stay busy with several ongoing remodeling projects.
