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.

Stand-in photograph Not a Field & Timber job, and not a Charleston address. Projects on this site are fictional.

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.

  1. 01

    Kitchens

    Galley walls, soapstone or a honed marble, and a heart-pine patch so the hall floor does not stop at a new threshold.

    Scope
  2. 02

    Historic restoration

    Piazza structure, sash weights, limewashed plaster, and drawings that can sit in front of the Board of Architectural Review.

    Scope
  3. 03

    Whole-home

    Systems, two baths, a kitchen, and a porch on houses that still want to look like 1948 when the scaffold comes down.

    Scope

“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.”

Homeowner, Harleston Village Fictional testimonial for this demo

“The piazza was drawn before anyone ordered a post. The BAR comments came back on the second set, not the fifth.”

Homeowner, South of Broad Fictional testimonial for this demo

“We were out of the cottage from March through July. The schedule on the fridge matched the one they left in August.”

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.
