Hilton Head People

KEVIN LAPINSKI & MATT MITCHELL

You can tell a Built Right Home when you see it. They’re the eye-catching exemplifications of modern Lowcountry luxe that grace magazine pages and Pinterest dream boards the world over. Each one stands apart as a singular work of form and function, but they all share the same foundation of quality. After all, if you’re going to put Built Right on the sign, you’d better put it into everything you do. 

Since 1994, when John Antunes brought his extensive knowledge and artistry with stone to the Lowcountry, Distinctive Granite & Marble has been the standard bearer for gorgeous countertops and stone accents in luxury homes and commercial projects across the region. But when you’re a company like DGM, one whose reputation has been polished to a brilliant shine over years of service in the Lowcountry, you need more than just one leading man.

James Terry & Joe DiNovo

For James Terry, the road to Crown & Anchor Barber Co. starts in a garage on Long Island.

“I started cutting my own hair, and that turned into friends and family. I built a barber shop in my parents’ garage,” he said. “I was 18 years old and basically opening a busines. So many random people started showing up at my house, it didn’t look good to the neighbors. So, my parents told me to go get my license and get out of the garage.”

DR. DAVID REID

Whether in the tranquil surrounds of Hilton Head Island or the rigors of active military service, Dr. David Reid has distinguished himself as one of the foremost plastic surgeons in our region.
