Our Story

We don't build projects.
We build the places your family comes home to.

I'm Ray — the owner, and I'm on every single job. Real Home Renovations runs on one belief: your home should be the most beautiful, honest work you'll ever own. Every board, every joint, every tile is set like it's going into my own home.

We handle your project turn-key — design, materials, and the build — obsessing over the details most people never notice, because those are the ones you feel every day. I don't leave until you walk in and love it.

Good Questions

Everything you're wondering.

How much does a project cost?

Every home is different, so we give honest, line-item quotes after a free on-site visit. As a guide: fences typically start around $3,500, decks around $8,000, screen porches around $18,000, and bath/kitchen remodels vary widely with finishes.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes — fully licensed and insured in South Carolina, with general liability and workers' comp on every job. We're happy to share our credentials at your consultation.

How long will my project take?

Most fences take 2–4 days, decks and screen porches 1–3 weeks, and full remodels 3–6 weeks depending on scope. You'll get a clear schedule with your quote, and one dedicated crew stays with your project start to finish.

Do you offer a warranty?

Absolutely. Every project is backed by our lifetime workmanship warranty, plus full manufacturer warranties on premium materials like Trex® composite decking.

What areas do you serve?

All of greater Charleston: Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, James & Johns Island, West Ashley, Sullivan's Island, IOP, Summerville, and surrounding Lowcountry communities.

Do you provide a written quote?

Yes — every project comes with a clear, itemized written quote after a free on-site visit, so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work begins.
