About Luxurious Renovations
The History of Luxurious Renovations
OUR STORY
Zach Cramer started out building with his father, Doug, at Cramers Landscaping, where they built outdoor structures and did every kind of masonry and carpentry. Zach enjoyed the construction side most, so he earned his South Carolina residential builder’s license and started Luxurious Renovations.
Luxurious Renovations is a licensed South Carolina residential builder (license RBB51912), and our work is backed by a standard one-year workmanship warranty.
Luxurious Renovations is run by Zach Cramer. His father, Doug Cramer, owns Cramers Landscaping, our family’s landscaping company; he and Zach run every Cramers job together as partners, and the two companies build projects together. Cramers takes the yard; we take the inside of the house, additions and porches.
HOW WE WORK
Between Zach and his father, the family has over 30 years of building experience. On smaller jobs we do every trade in-house, from carpentry and masonry to electrical, plumbing and roofing; on larger or more specialized jobs we bring in expert subcontractors. Either way, Zach is on the job managing it, and he applies our tadelakt himself.
He has studied well beyond what a builder’s license requires. It began with Brent Hull and the books and catalogs he recommends, and with Charleston’s own historic buildings, which are the best way to learn from real houses. For building science, he learns from Matt Risinger. That is where our approach comes from: houses built to last, materials that can be repaired rather than replaced, and design that still looks right decades later. We wrote more about it in why quality materials matter more than square footage.
Built to Last
A built-to-last mindset on every job, within your budget.
Repairable
Materials and details that can be repaired and refinished, not torn out.
Designed for the House
Trim, proportions and finishes chosen to suit the house, so they still look right decades later.
Owner on Every Job
Zach runs every project and is on the job managing it.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is simple: build renovations that last and look right for the house, so they don’t need to be redone. We bring a built-to-last mindset to every job, within your budget.
