Renovation Services in Charleston, SC
Transforming Charleston homes with lasting renovations.
WHAT WE BUILD
Residential Renovations
Elevating houses into custom homes designed for your comfort and style. Eight ways we work, each built to the same standard: designed to last 60 to 100 years and to look better with age.
01
Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is the heart of every Charleston home. We approach kitchen remodeling with the same philosophy we bring to every project: design it to last, build it with care, and select materials that will look better with age. Our founder’s background spans carpentry, masonry, electrical and plumbing, so we understand the full picture of a kitchen renovation, not just the surfaces you see.

Bathroom Remodeling
Your bathroom should feel intentional, comfortable, and built to withstand Charleston’s humid climate for decades. From complete gut renovations to targeted upgrades, our team handles every aspect in-house: plumbing, electrical, tile work and finishes. For wet areas we also offer tadelakt, a hand-polished lime plaster that gives a seamless, naturally waterproof surface with no grout lines.

03
Whole-Home Renovations
When you are ready to reimagine your entire home, you need a contractor who can handle every detail from foundation to finish. Most contractors treat a whole-home renovation as a series of disconnected tasks; we approach it as a unified vision. Every decision, from the framing lumber to the plaster on the walls, is made with the same standard: will this last 60 to 100 years, and will it look better with age? Structural repairs, wall removal and new beams, drywall and moisture control are handled as part of the project rather than sold as separate services.

Historic Home Renovation
Charleston has some of the most architecturally significant houses in the country, and renovating them takes more than general construction experience. It takes an understanding of proportion, period detail, material compatibility and local preservation requirements. The wrong detail is often permanent: a porch column of the wrong size or profile changes the character of a building immediately.

05
Home Additions
A home addition done right looks like it was always there. Whether we are building a front porch with properly proportioned columns, a sunroom, or a full room addition, the result should blend seamlessly with your existing home in both structure and character. We design around the existing architecture, then build it to the same standard as the rest of the house.

06
Porches
Charleston’s climate makes outdoor living possible for most of the year, and a porch built onto the house can work as a true extension of your home rather than an afterthought. We design and build screened porches and covered patios to the same standard we apply inside: durable materials, classical proportions, and craftsmanship built to last.

Interior Refresh
Not every improvement requires tearing walls down. Sometimes the most transformative work is new floors, fresh paint, updated trim and better lighting. An interior refresh is the right approach when the bones of the home are sound and the goal is to update finishes and details without structural change. The key is doing it right: correct trim profiles, matched flooring, and colours chosen for the light in the room.

Tadelakt & Specialty Plaster
Most renovation contractors offer the same finishes: paint, tile and drywall. Our specialty plaster work brings centuries-old artisan techniques to Charleston homes, creating surfaces with a depth, warmth and character that modern materials cannot replicate. These are not paint effects or faux finishes: tadelakt, limewash, Venetian plaster and Moroccan clay, hand-applied.

HOW WE WORK
Our Remodeling Process
The remodeling mistake we see most often in Charleston: homeowners selecting finishes before confirming what is structurally possible. In older Charleston homes especially, a wall you assumed was non-load-bearing, a floor joist that does not line up with the new layout, or a plumbing stack in an inconvenient spot can force a redesign mid-project, and mid-project redesigns are where budgets and timelines break down. That is why our process puts the structural assessment before the design phase, not after.
- 01 — Consultation & Site Assessment. We visit your Charleston home to understand your goals, assess the existing structure, and discuss budget and timeline.
- 02 — Rough Design & Scope. We develop a preliminary scope of work and present options at different investment levels so you can make informed decisions.
- 03 — Design & Planning. We finalize layouts, material selections, and specifications, including coordination with preservation guidelines for historic properties.
- 04 — Fixed Pricing & Permits. You receive a comprehensive, fixed-price proposal with no hidden costs. We handle all permitting required by the City of Charleston or your local jurisdiction.
- 05 — Construction & Craftsmanship. Our multi-trade team executes the work with regular progress updates and a quality standard built around long-term performance.
- 06 — Final Walkthrough & Handover. We walk through every detail of your completed project together before considering it finished.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Remodeling in Charleston
What areas do you serve for home remodeling?
We serve the greater Charleston area including Downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, West Ashley, James Island, Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, Kiawah Island, Johns Island, Folly Beach, North Charleston, Summerville, and surrounding communities within approximately 1.5 hours of Charleston.
What is the typical cost of a home remodeling project in Charleston?
Cost varies significantly depending on the scope of work, from a single-room update to a whole-home renovation. We provide detailed, transparent estimates during the consultation and design phase rather than ballpark figures that can grow during construction.
Do you handle all trades in-house?
Yes. Our team has multi-trade expertise spanning carpentry, masonry, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and specialty finishes, which keeps quality control tighter and reduces scheduling conflicts between subcontractors.
Can you remodel a home in a Charleston historic district?
Yes. We have experience with the City of Charleston Board of Architectural Review process and can navigate historic district requirements while meeting your functional goals. See our historic home renovation page for more detail.
How do I know which type of remodeling project my home needs?
The best first step is a consultation. We’ll walk your property, listen to your goals, and give you an honest assessment of scope, investment level, and timeline before you commit to a specific project type.
Do you offer fixed-price contracts?
Yes. After the design and planning phase, you receive a comprehensive, fixed-price proposal with no hidden costs.
Will I need to move out during a remodeling project?
It depends on scope. A single-room remodel like a kitchen or bathroom is often livable-around if you have another kitchen or bathroom in the home, though expect noise, dust containment measures, and limited access to that room for the duration. Whole-home projects typically require temporarily relocating. We’ll walk through what to expect for your specific project during the consultation.
What Charleston-specific factors affect remodeling timelines the most?
Two things come up more than anything else: Board of Architectural Review approval timelines for anything visible from the street in historic districts, and material lead times for humidity-rated materials suited to the Lowcountry’s climate. Both are worth building into your timeline expectations from day one rather than discovering mid-project.
