A licensed South Carolina general contractor handling whole-home remodels, additions, kitchens and baths, garages and ADUs, decks and insurance restoration across the Upstate. One contract, one point of accountability, and a client portal that shows you the job and the costs every day instead of once a week.
We coordinate planning, permitting, subcontractor scheduling, site standards and quality control — from the first walkthrough to the day the dust walls come down. One contract, one number to call.
Gut renovations and multi-room remodels, sequenced so the trades land in order and the house stays weathertight and secure through every phase. We read the structure before pricing, not after demo.
Room additions, second stories and bump-outs. Setbacks, foundation conditions and how the new roof ties into the old one are confirmed at the walkthrough — the three items that decide the budget.
The two rooms where plumbing, electrical, cabinetry and tile all meet in a small space. Long-lead items — cabinets, fixtures, stone — are ordered before demo so the house is not torn open while you wait.
Detached garages, garage conversions and accessory dwelling units. Zoning, utility connections and whether the lot allows a second dwelling are answered before design money is spent.
Decks, porches and covered outdoor spaces, engineered for the ledger connection and footings that inspections actually check — not just the surface you see.
Water, fire and storm damage repair, scoped line by line so the estimate and the adjuster's paperwork agree — and the parts of the house the claim does not cover are protected while we work.
A licensed, bonded and insured general contractor with a single point of accountability — not a coordinator who subcontracts the coordinating. Every client gets SITELOG, a private portal with daily photos, live schedule, documents and open-book costs.
Five phases, with the schedule risk handled at the front instead of discovered at the end.
We walk the house and document what sets the budget before any design assumption does: jurisdiction, the age and condition of the structure, panel and plumbing capacity, and any permit, zoning or HOA item that will control the date.
Scope written line by line and priced from subcontractor quotes rather than allowances wherever a quote is obtainable. Where an allowance is genuinely necessary it is labelled as one, and you are told what would make it move.
Permit submitted, HOA or design review started on its parallel track, and long-lead items — cabinets, windows, trusses, fixtures — ordered before demo. This phase looks quiet from outside and it is the phase that decides your finish date.
Demolition, rough-in, inspections and finishes sequenced so the inspections land in order — with dust walls up, the site cleaned daily, and your home secured every night. Daily photos and logs in your portal from day one.
Final inspections cleared, punch list closed, lien waivers from every sub, warranties and closeout documents handed over as a set — before the final payment is requested.
Most remodeling advice online is written for somewhere else. These are the items that actually move money and dates on an Upstate South Carolina house.
Greenville has a city building and permitting department, and Greenville County has its own for unincorporated addresses. Greer, Simpsonville, Mauldin and Travelers Rest run their own as well. Two houses four minutes apart can sit under different reviewers with different submission requirements and different queues. Confirming jurisdiction is the first item on the walkthrough, not a detail sorted out later.
Many Upstate neighborhoods carry an HOA architectural review, and older in-town streets can sit inside a historic overlay with its own board and meeting schedule. Neither usually kills a project, and both regularly add weeks to one that assumed an addition or exterior change was a permit-and-go. We put the review on the calendar in phase one, not after the permit is ready.
A 1960s ranch and a 2005 build fail in different places. Older houses in this market bring undersized panels, mixed-era wiring, galvanized or polybutylene supply lines, and framing that was never meant to carry an open floor plan. We read the structure and the systems at the walkthrough, so what a lesser bid discovers with a change order, ours prices on day one.
Upstate red clay moves with moisture, and most housing stock here sits on a crawlspace. Footings for additions and decks, moisture management under the house, and how new loads land on old foundations are the structural decisions that matter on this soil — not the coastal wind and flood details written into most online guidance.
If the project has more than two trades and a permit, the coordination is the job. A GC holds the contract for the whole project and is accountable for the result: pricing the scope, pulling permits, hiring and scheduling every subcontractor, running inspections in the right order, keeping the site livable, handling changes in writing, and handing over a finished space with warranties and lien waivers.
Whole-home remodels, additions, kitchens and baths, garages and ADUs, decks and outdoor living, and insurance and restoration work. If it needs a permit and more than two trades, it is the kind of project we run.
Yes. South Carolina general contractor licence CLG.127646, classification Unlimited Building, Group 5, issued by the SC Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.

All of it is verifiable on the SC LLR licence lookup — check it before you hire anyone, including us.
Construction is usually not the long pole. Permit review, HOA or historic approval and long-lead materials set the calendar. A bath remodel with in-stock materials moves in weeks; an addition that needs engineering, an HOA approval and custom windows is measured in months. We tell you which item is controlling your date at the walkthrough, and we tell you the week it changes.
There is no honest square-foot number that survives contact with a real house. Cost is driven by the age and condition of what is behind the walls, the level of finish you choose, and how much of the structure and systems the new work touches. We price from a walkthrough and real subcontractor quotes, and we show the line items rather than a lump sum. Anyone quoting a square-foot price over the phone is guessing, and the guess gets corrected later by change order.
Usually, and it depends on which systems are involved. Kitchens, baths and additions can be phased and dust-walled so the rest of the house stays livable, with noisy trades scheduled and the site cleaned before we leave each day. Anything touching the electrical service, the main sanitary line or the only bathroom usually cannot be phased. If staying in the house matters more than finishing fast, say so at the walkthrough — it changes the sequence and the price, and both are easier to handle before the contract than after.
Yes. Water, fire and storm damage repair, scoped line by line so our estimate and the adjuster's paperwork can be compared item for item. You see the same scope the insurer sees, the work the claim covers is separated in writing from any upgrades you choose to add, and the undamaged parts of the house are protected while we work.
Send the address, what you want to change or add, your timeline, and whether you plan to live in the house during the work. We walk it, confirm jurisdiction and any HOA review, and follow up with next steps.
