Residential remodeling · Charleston, South Carolina
Rooms that still feel like the house.
We open kitchens, repair piazzas and sash, and rework whole houses from Harleston Village to the Old Village. The schedule is written down before the first wall comes apart.
- Kitchen on site
- 9–14 weeks
- Historic work
- BAR-conscious
- Sample kitchen
- $86,400 demo
The shop in this demo is four carpenters, a project lead, and a finish scheduler. One historic-district job at a time, so plaster and paint are not rushed by the next street.
What the shop takes on
Three kinds of work, written as scopes.
-
01
Scope
Kitchens
Galley walls, soapstone or a honed marble, and a heart-pine patch so the hall floor does not stop at a new threshold.
-
02
Scope
Historic restoration
Piazza structure, sash weights, limewashed plaster, and drawings that can sit in front of the Board of Architectural Review.
-
03
Scope
Whole-home
Systems, two baths, a kitchen, and a porch on houses that still want to look like 1948 when the scaffold comes down.
Three sample jobs
Fictional projects with demo dollar figures. The photographs are stand-ins, labeled on each page.
Harleston Village · 11 weeks
The garden wall came out. The floor stayed.
Sample demo figure $86,400. A non-bearing wall, soapstone in the story, unlacquered brass.
South of Broad · 22 weeks
Piazza posts and a quieter kitchen.
Sample demo figure $214,000. Sash, cypress, and a drawing set before demolition.
Wagener Terrace · 7 months
Systems first, then the rooms.
Sample demo figure $468,000. The family lived elsewhere for five of those months.
“They matched the heart pine in the hall instead of running a new floor across the threshold. The seam is still there, and that is the point.”
“The piazza was drawn before anyone ordered a post. The BAR comments came back on the second set, not the fifth.”
“We were out of the cottage from March through July. The schedule on the fridge matched the one they left in August.”
Where the truck actually goes
Peninsula first, then a short list across the bridges. The neighborhood notes are the local page.
Tell us the street and what is failing.
A walk-through on the peninsula is usually 45 minutes. We leave with measurements, not a brochure. The form on the next page does not send mail.
