Picking a contractor in Greenville is harder than it should be. There are a lot of options and most of them will give you a confident ballpark in the first five minutes that doesn’t hold up once work actually starts. We try to be different about that.

Home Renovation Services in Greenville
Kitchens are the most common project we take on. Walls come out, layouts open up, islands go in. We scope every kitchen project individually based on what you want and what the space actually allows.
Home additions are a significant part of what we’re building right now. A lot of Greenville homeowners have a mortgage rate they’re not willing to trade away, so instead of moving, they’re adding. An extra bedroom, an in-law suite, a real home office. We make sure the addition ties into the existing structure properly so it doesn’t look tacked on later.
Bathroom remodels range from a full primary suite with custom tile and a curbless shower to a targeted refresh with updated fixtures and better lighting. The scope determines everything. We’ll tell you what you’re looking at before you make any decisions.
Garages are a project we’ve been doing more of recently. The same reasoning applies here as with additions: if you’re staying put instead of trading your mortgage rate for something in the sixes, covered parking or a dedicated workspace is a practical next step. A well-built garage also adds value when you eventually do sell.
We build both attached and detached garages in the Greenville area. Attached garages connect directly to your home’s existing structure, and that connection has to be built right. Detached garages give more flexibility on placement but require their own utility work and site prep. Either way, we handle the permits through Greenville County and make sure the finished build looks like it was always supposed to be there.
Whole-home renovations are for when the house needs everything. We scope it room by room and work through the full picture with you before anything starts. Every project is different, and we quote it that way.
How We Work
We’re a design-build firm. That means you’re not hiring a designer and then finding a contractor to interpret their drawings. One team handles everything from the first conversation through the final walkthrough. One contract, one phone number.
Our architectural designer handles both sides of the process. The technical side covers blueprints, structural drawings, and 3D models so you can see exactly what your finished space will look like before construction starts. The design side takes you from a rough idea to a real plan. If you need color consultation or help matching finishes to a specific aesthetic, we can handle the basics and connect you with specialists we work with for anything more involved.
When we put together your proposal, it includes an allowance amount for each finish category in the project. That’s the budget set aside for things like tile, fixtures, sinks, and hardware.
You have a couple of ways to use it. We’ll connect you with the companies we work with, where you can pick from real options in person. Or you can source something on your own. If you find a tile, fixture, or sink from another supplier, we’ll pick it up and store it in our warehouse. When that phase of construction starts, we pull it and install it. What goes in your house is your call.
Every client gets a project portal with a live view of what’s happening: current status, upcoming dates, allowance items you still need to select, and all communications with the team. Payments are made directly through the portal via ACH. You don’t have to wonder where your project stands.
We also exceed building codes on every project. Not just meet. That distinction matters more than most people realize when it’s time to sell.
Our Showroom
Before you pick a cabinet style from a photo or commit to a finish you’ve only seen as a small sample, come see things in person. When you visit, we walk you through cabinet construction: door styles, box thickness, drawer configurations, tray dividers. The focus is on the build. How thick the cabinet box is, what the drawer glides feel like, whether the framing is solid or dressed-up particleboard.
Finish materials are here too. Tile, countertops, fixtures, hardware. But understanding what you’re actually building before you sign anything is the bigger value of the visit.
Home Renovation Questions Greenville Homeowners Ask
How much does home renovation cost in Greenville, SC?
Every project is different. The scope, the condition of the existing space, the materials you choose, and the work involved all affect the number. We don’t publish standard price ranges because they don’t hold up. A kitchen renovation in one house is not the same project as a kitchen renovation in the next. What you should do is get actual bids from people who will do the work. We’ll come out, look at the space, and tell you what we actually think before you commit to anything.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. We pull all permits as part of the project. Most structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work requires permits through Greenville County Building Safety or the City of Greenville depending on your address. We handle the filing, inspections, and final sign-off. You don’t have to touch it.
Can I stay in my house during a renovation?
Most of the time, yes. For kitchen and bathroom projects, about 95% of clients stay in the house and it works fine. For a full home renovation where we’re moving through every room, leaving is the better option. You can stay, but we’ll need to shift you around as work progresses through the house, and most people find that disruptive after a while. If your home only has one bathroom, we’d also recommend finding somewhere else to stay during that phase.
Do I need to hire a designer first?
No. We have an architectural designer on staff who handles both the technical side and the design process that gets you from an idea to a real plan. The technical work covers blueprints, structural drawings, and 3D models. Where they’re not focused is color consultation or matching finishes to your personal aesthetic at a detailed level. We can cover the basics ourselves. For more involved design guidance, we can refer you to people we work with who specialize in that.
How do I stay informed during my project?
You get access to a client portal tied to your project. It shows all communications, the allowance items you need to select and when you need to make those decisions, the project calendar with key dates, and any items that need your attention. Payments are made through the portal via ACH. Your project manager is also reachable by phone whenever you need to talk through something directly.
What areas do you serve?
Greenville and the rest of Upstate South Carolina: Mauldin, Simpsonville, Greer, Easley, Anderson, Spartanburg, Travelers Rest, Clemson, Fountain Inn, Laurens, Pickens, and surrounding areas.
