Steve Parham is a native of Tennessee. He moved to the Charleston area in 1977 after following a family tradition of custom cabinet making and homebuilding. Steve continued his construction career in Charleston by installing structural steel. Transferring that knowledge into the residential market in the early 80's, Steve followed his hands-on tradition in every phase of the construction process by operating his own construction company until 1994 when he joined the Seamar Construction Group team.

Steve's brother Joel Parham, like his brother hails from Tennessee and has always been involved with the construction industry. Joel likes building custom homes because of the special relationship with the client and the personal satisfaction in providing clients with their dream home. Joel also oversees repair and renovation work, as well as handling new construction. Both Joel and Steve are active in their church and take part in an elaborate Passion Play presentation each year.

Carroll Areheart is also a part of the Seamar Construction Group team. He also hails from an extended history in the construction industry. His skills and attention to the details further strengthens our construction team. We are proud to call him a part of our Seamar family.
