Down to the studs.

Ray and his team updated my parent's home that was built in 1982 and WOW… they did an awesome job! The workmanship was very impressive. Ray is dependable, trustworthy and an overall super nice guy. His prices are fair and he offers great affordable suggestions.

He has completed projects in three of our properties, and the experience has been consistently excellent. Ray is fair with pricing, transparent, and very reliable when it comes to timelines. It's not easy to find someone you can truly trust in this industry, and Ray has proven to be one of those professionals.

Questions

Straight answers.

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Charleston?

It depends on size, layout changes and finishes, so we don't publish a price list. After a free 45-minute visit you get a detailed written quote for your project.

How long does a bathroom or kitchen remodel take?

A typical bathroom takes 12–18 working days from demo to walkthrough. Kitchens usually run 5–7 weeks, depending on cabinet and countertop lead times. We give you an estimated schedule before we start.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit and debit cards. Payment terms for your project are spelled out in your written quote before any work starts.

Do you use subcontractors?

One crew runs your project from start to finish. When a licensed trade is required by code, we schedule and supervise it. You never coordinate anyone.

How do you deal with Charleston humidity?

Every shower gets a continuous waterproof membrane and a water test before tile. On floors we moisture-test the subfloor first and use waterproof products where it makes sense.

What areas do you serve?

Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, James Island, West Ashley, North Charleston, Summerville and the surrounding Lowcountry.

Do you handle permits?

Many projects need one, including most decks, structural changes and plumbing or electrical work. When a permit is required, we help with the drawings, filing and inspections, and we tell you at the estimate which ones apply.

What if you find a problem behind the walls?

We check for moisture, soft subfloor and old plumbing at the estimate. If something hidden turns up once walls are open, we stop, show you photos, explain the fix and price it in writing. Nothing extra happens without your OK.

Is there a warranty?

Coverage for your project is spelled out in your written agreement, and we go over it at the estimate. Products like flooring, fixtures and composite decking also carry their manufacturer's warranty.

Can I buy my own materials?

Yes. We install materials you've bought and review quantities and specs before delivery so nothing comes up short. Or we supply everything, which keeps lead times and returns on us.

Still have a question? Ask us directly.
