Malcolm Odom and Lance Lindsey are the owners of Tradewind Custom Builders, LLC, which specializes in crafting high-end custom homes in Myrtle Beach and its surrounding areas.

With more than 25 years of experience, the Tradewind team is dedicated to guiding clients through every step of the home-building journey—from selecting the ideal design to finalizing exquisite finishing touches. Our three-phase process emphasizes transparency and collaboration, ensuring each home reflects the unique vision and lifestyle of its owner. Tradewind ensures clients are involved every step of the way, making homebuilding feel more collaborative and less overwhelming. Many builders don’t offer this level of transparency, which often leads to frustration for homeowners, especially ones new to the home-building process.

By focusing on Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas, Tradewind has an in-depth understanding of the region’s architectural trends, climate challenges, and permitting processes, giving us an edge over out-of-state builders or larger firms with less local knowledge.  

Both Malcolm Odom and Lance Lindsey have lived in the Myrtle Beach area for more than 30 years. Malcolm’s son Morgan is now Tradewind Project Manager. Morgan, 36, has been been around the building business his entire life, even working with his father in the summers during his school years.

Rather than cookie-cutter builds, we create truly one-of-a-kind homes that reflect each client’s lifestyle and vision. At Tradewind Custom Builders, we don’t just specialize in high-end homes - we also offer entry-level home construction with the same unmatched quality and attention to detail that sets us apart. Whether you’re building your first home or looking for a cost-conscious option, we ensure superior craftsmanship without compromise.

Additionally, our renovation services go beyond basic handyman work. We bring the expertise and precision of a custom builder to every renovation project, transforming spaces with thoughtful design and high-quality finishes that elevate the home’s value and appeal. No matter the size of the project, Tradewind  delivers exceptional results tailored to the client’s vision.

We partner with small local businesses, helping to sustain the unique charm of Myrtle Beach and its surrounding areas. Whether through sourcing materials from local suppliers or collaborating with fellow tradespeople, we take pride in contributing to the area’s economic growth.  Being part of this community is something we deeply value, and we’re excited to continue finding ways to give back while helping clients create homes where they can enjoy the beauty and lifestyle that make the Grand Strand such a special place.
