"Bill and Billy were very professional and efficient with the projects I had at my home. They built me and 2 car garage and deck off the back of my house. Pricing was very fair and the quality of their work was top notch. They're family owned and operated. I highly recommend them as a general contractor and builder for any home projects."

"Went well. Scott and his crew showed up as scheduled, did quality work, were friendly and communicated well and kept me informed of progress, cleaned up work site every day before leaving, and repositioned a French drain line as needed that was an unexpected “surprise.” I would highly recommend Carolina Contracting for a similar project."

"Long, 2-year, ~$90,000 story short (we used Walt for multiple projects over two-year period), all went well. Walt either on-site or easily reachable by phone. No noteworthy, unresolved problems; no complaints; Good work done by GC Haines and all subs."

"EXCELLENT craftsmanship. Super high quality work. Very communicative - never ghosted us or left us in the dark. Five stars on all of that!! The only reason I don't give 5 stars overall is the timeline. We were originally quoted 8-10 weeks for our screened porch and it took a lot longer. There were things out of his control that contributed to that, so we understood. And again, he kept us in the loop. He also built us a new shed during that time and that slowed down the progress of the porch as well. We loved Calvin and would be happy to have him do more work for us."

"Marc was very professional and responded to my calls promptly. He took the time to visit my home to assess my needs and make good recommendations for me to feel safe in my home. Tory was the technician who was assigned to do the work at my home. He arrived on a Saturday afternoon and worked very hard until the rain came. He offered an even better suggestion, as one of the lights was about 30 feet in the air, and might be tough to pick up the motion. He offered to come back on his day off to finish the job. Tory came back on his day off, , worked very hard, did an excellent job and was extremely professional. The lights are great and work perfectly. I feel so much safer. He is an excellent electrician. He was very neat and cleaned up after himself. As if that wasn't enough he was so personable and nice! I will certainly use MI Electric again, but I will specifically request Tory. He was fantastic!!!!

"We cannot say enough good things about Blake and Mark (co-owners/partners at Asa Stanford) who we discovered on Angie's List. Blake came to our first meeting on time and prepared with print-outs (and his own notes) of the architectural design we had provided for a 400 sq ft den and office addition. It was clear he had put some thought into our project before he arrived. He spent about an hour reviewing the project with us, looking over our home, going into the attic, answering our questions, etc. He was able to provide an estimate for the project with our plans. Blake was very patient, detailed and thorough - and we knew before he left our driveway we wanted to hire him. Not only are Mark and Blake just really nice guys, they are really good at what they do. They worked seamlessly with our designer to review and finalize the building plans. Communication was excellent from beginning to end. Blake and Mark answered the phone almost every time we called (even if it was 4 PM on a Friday) and would answer texts and emails promptly. Blake constantly kept us informed of the schedule, which subs to expect, etc. Overall, we were happy with the work of the subs, and pleased with the oversight Mark and Blake had on their work. Mark himself is a very talented carpenter and nearly single handedly built the frame of the addition by himself - even our neighbors were pretty shocked watching him at work. (And for the record, as we learned from our conversations with Mark, he is equally as humble as he is skilled.) A few times, we asked about adding some things that weren't in our original contract, and Blake would give us his thoughts, research the cost and get back to us very quickly with an exact cost. There were some hiccups along the way (as there are with any project), but we never worried about them because we trusted Blake and Mark to take care of them, whatever they were. These guys really are the best. Overall, the project finished a few weeks early and came in right around the original cost estimation. We are so pleased with the finished result. It is even better than we anticipated, and we appreciate having full confidence in the materials and craftsmanship. We have already recommended Asa Stanford to neighbors and would hire them again in an instant."

"We love our new counter tops! Sam and Tony of Imperial Stone were knowledgeable and professional. They clearly take pride in their company and went out of their way to accommodate our schedule. We were able to go to their warehouse in Indian Trail to look at their granite slabs and to take samples home. They paid close attention to the details before and after installation, taking care to position the hand made patterns on the slab to avoid any areas that might look bad in the finished product. They did a beautiful job hiding the joints. They made sure all our questions were answered about use and care of the granite. The stainless sink that was included in the purchase is high quality and looks great, too. I would definitely hire Imperial Stone again. Note that Imperial Stone only provides and installs the counter tops and the sink. They recommended a contractor to demo the existing tile counter top, to disconnect and then re-plumb the new kitchen sink, to add any trim that might be required, and to install the backsplash. Although working with the contractor to do all the additional work was our responsibility, Sam and Tony explained carefully all that would be required and coordinated with the contractor's schedule."

"I would definitely recommend ProGreen for all future projects. Between fighting the elements and all the extra demands we were making, they really came through for us on getting the roof replaced (it was a giant house). In between getting the roofing done I asked for an entire shed to be demolished and removed, three buildings to be pressure washed, etc. and they did it no questions asked. I have the utmost respect for how hard their workers are and will certainly use them on future projects."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

Foundation repairs and crawl space encapsulation directly impact HVAC ductwork and plumbing lines routed beneath your floors. Upgrading your roofing or insulation changes your HVAC load to combat the extreme Lancaster summer heat, requiring system rebalancing. Additionally, adding square footage to rural properties forces a capacity review of your septic system. Always coordinate home building with your pest control provider.

Helpful?

Watch for cracked concrete slabs or exterior masonry after winter freeze-thaw cycles end in late February. Lancaster experiences heavy rainfall and expanding clay soils that stress foundations over time. Hurricane season remnants also expose vulnerabilities in roofing and siding. Schedule your home building projects during the milder spring or fall months before the extreme summer heat and humidity arrive.

Helpful?

Yes, completing permitted home building projects significantly boosts your resale appeal. Buyers relocating to Lancaster expect modern finishes and updated systems. Focus on high-return improvements like crawl space encapsulation, roof replacements, and HVAC system upgrades to combat the regional heat. Energy efficiency improvements, such as new windows and insulation, also resonate strongly with buyers looking to reduce high summer utility bills.

Helpful?

Professionals closely evaluate your soil conditions and lot grading, as the expansive clay soils in SC require careful foundation engineering and drainage planning. Crawl spaces receive heavy scrutiny for moisture intrusion, wood rot, and termite damage. Roof framing is assessed for storm resilience. Finally, rural properties undergo strict evaluations for well and septic system capacity before any home building begins.

Helpful?

Watch out for contractors who lack a valid state license or proper liability insurance. Avoid any professional who suggests skipping the mandatory local building permit process or promises unusually fast timelines. A trustworthy professional provides a written, itemized scope of work. They also address specific SC challenges, including expansive clay soils, termite inspections, and private septic system requirements for your home building project.
